April : My Life On The Game
Chapter 2
It's 2017. 7 years down being a prossie. Been a hell of a start.
Towards the end of last year, my boo had gone a bit off the rails. Not with drink and drugs but with another guy. She's been, like, fucking Mark's mate, Paul, for a while...Mark had been fine with all that...only....she fell for the fucker. Pretty hard too.
Mark, bless him, he was in pieces. Paul also works as a lawyer. Paul, apparently, banged Martika at the wedding. Literally, she was walking down the isle to marry Mark with her cunt full of his semen. He had full knowledge of it as well. How cool is that? Obviously I was nowhere around at that point in her life but that's what Mark always told me, with a sly smile on his face.
So, Paul had previous.
I know that Paul was picking her up, as a punter, and shagging her and from there it turned into something else. It lasted, like, 8..9...10 weeks or so....but Mark was very distraught about it all. Tried to keep that shit to himself....tried not to cry in front of her or the kids....but I saw it, from time to time.
Anyways, she saw the light at some point. Paul tried to get Martika fucked up again on drink...tried goading her into drinking...and, as we know, Martika was a raging alcoholic who was given months to live if she went back to it....so that whole thing exploded.
Naturally, during this time I kept my head down and did my shit. What I was told to, y'know? Being my owner and shit, my thought is whatever her thought was. That's how I live. My boo thinks for me....I just earn for her.
Pretty fuckin' simple.
I'm just out on the streets, looking like a hot piece of ass, and selling myself. That's all I need to know. That's all my owner needs me to know too. The rest would just give her stress. Her having stress equates to me getting a fuckin' beating.
I don't need that shit.
I've had plenty of beatings over the years. That's called not getting with 'The Programme'. Well, I am down with the programme, boo. I leave the rest to the other bitches.
They mouth off to Martika, they get a fuckin' slap. My sister, Candy? That bitch learned the hard way, boo. These days whatever Martika asks, she does.
I saw her just yesterday, at the brothel. We had a hug and we talked. The bitch is totally down with the lifestyle and we were talking about punters we'd fucked, what drugs we'd done...y'know...typical hooker shit. It was nice.
So, anyways....My owner had seen the light, thank fuck. Mark really is a nice guy. Never made a play for me but if I was asked to bone him, I'd certainly do that. Y'know what I'm sayin', boo? He is fit! I get on with him very well indeed. He's a doting father too. Reminds me of mine.
Ah shit...think I'm gonna get emotional now.
Mark loves Martika...think anyone can tell that statement....but he wanted to teach her a lesson.
With that in mind, and also knowing just how close her and Emma are...y'know, the streetwalker that I first met with her, back in the day? That I was trained with gangbangs at her house? Her closest hooker friend? You don't? Wow....
Just...wow!
Fuck....you really need to start reading my earlier shit then. Catch up....then come the fuck back to me to read the newer shit. 'K? Got that? Off you go...
We on the right page? Good...'cos it's really...fuckin'....important.
Narrative and shit, y'know?
So...teaching Martika a lesson....and '..knowing how close her and Emma are...'. Right. So, Emma has always had a soft spot for Mark. I've heard it a lot. It's always been 'You're lucky to have Mark..', or a 'Ah, he's so great with the kids..' or a '..he knows you so well..' or a '..he does that for you? Cool babe..' thing.
That translates to 'I wish I had a Mark', or more specifically, 'I wish I had Mark'.
Now, don't get me wrong, boo. Martika has lots of acquaintances, but she hasn't got many friends. Not many at all. Mark has, I think, pretty similar....though he knows a lot of people. Lawyer types, y'know? Goes on socials....some play golf, and whilst he's not down with that shit, he'll do it with them from time to time.
Long and short of it was that Emma saw her chance....Mark saw his chance....and I know they had always liked each other....so they hooked up.
Martika was distraught. Devastated. Her husband....and her best mate? One upmanship if ever I had seen it, boo.
Never seen her so upset. Well....I have....when her grandmother died and she went on that power binge? Nearly fuckin' killed me. She expected me to keep up with her. She nearly killed herself over that shit.
But, this time? She wasn't gonna hit the bottle. Nor do a shitload of drugs, which is what we normally did in times of crisis.
No, this time the bitch surprised me. Saw that her hooker lifestyle was too claustrophobic for her and her family so she needed to get with 'another programme'. One that had more balance. Y'know?
Literally, before all this year it was drink, drugs, prostitution, clothes, smoking...the church and children. That was pretty much it. Oh, and throw in some fitness shit in there too....as she felt she was a bit overweight at times. The church shit was something that her mum made her do.
That was it.
I had heard from Samantha (you know about Samantha, her mother now, right don'tcha? Good!) that she used to paint and all that shit. But I'd never see her paint. Never once.
So, she'd wear more normal clothes, y'know? Not, obviously, all the time...but she'd be wearing skinny jeans and leggings from time to time. Not all day, as she had, in PVC trousers, leather jeans...leather mini skirts. Not that shit. She bought jumpers and t-shirts. Just typical housewife shit.
She'd do shit that she used to do, before life on the game, so she'd paint and go to museums and stuff. Spend some time with her dad, Toni.
I saw dad...he was her adopted father. Just like me, bitch never knew who her dad was. Her mum, Samantha, was early into her prostitute lifestyle then and I heard her say to Martika that she could narrow it down to '...around 70 different men..'. Toni had, later, married Samantha and just a few short years later, when he discovered her prostitution lifestyle, dumped her and took Martika with him.
So she was brought up, moved away from Sheffield to this little Derbyshire town, into this Italian descent family, who's mother (Martika's grandmother) hated Samantha and called her 'quella puttana' (that whore in English) or 'quella prostituta' (Ah...I think you know what that translates as..), but never her name of Samantha.
But Toni, like Mark later, doted on her and treated her as his own. Toni is an artist....a fuckin' great one, boo. Think she got her interest and her abilities from him too.
Anyways, she'd meet up with him more regularly through this period of time too. I'd sometimes tag along. He knew I hooked for Martika but never that she was my owner. She was a little embarrassed about that and thought that he'd lose his shit over it. Which, to be fair, he probably would've.
So I'd meet him. We'd all end up going to look at some painting or sculptures or something like that. Not really my bag, boo....but I do and think what Martika tells me to do so if it's paints and crap like that then that's what I like.
He was a nice guy. Took her out of herself.
Mark and Emma went on dates and all that. He'd get babysitters whilst me and Martika were out hooking. Look around, there's no Emma there....that must mean that she's getting banged by Mark.
Bitch kept her head up. She's proud. Still hooked. Still did her best. Still ran us bitches too. I helped as best as I could.
Anyways, Martika as a 'normal girl' was her effect to try to bring Mark back to her.... which, it eventually did. Ruined her relationship with Emma though. Fuck that bitch, right? Cunt!
So Martika was more normal, a bit more everyday. Not as 'full on' hooker mode. She had days off. They went on dates and shit. To be fair, that's what they tried to do before but the dates got less and less frequent. These days, my owner makes sure that she has time off every week. Just her and Mark, right? She can afford it. He can afford it.
She's running 17 of us bitches so she's making, like, £13k a night. Something like that. So she's clearing something like £10k -£10,500 as neither me or Candy take any money.
...and they're getting on well. I'm glad. It's been, like, 4 months like this.
But...today....I get word from my owner, of course, that she's had a message from Mark. He's meeting Emma for lunch in town. Not know why.
Mark and Martika are always pretty transparent. He told her he was fucking Emma in the first place. Mark, obviously, knows that Martika hooks and, sometimes, he's in the mood to hear about her night on the streets. Fuck, he's even taken her and Emma, back in the day, dogging. Y'know?
They're very open and honest. Which is why he's telling her this.
Anyways....it's evening time now. Kids are back from school. Martika's making tea, alongside me. I'm in all my hooker shit - red leather skirt, black halter neck top, fishnets, bangles and shit - and we're smoking and prepping stuff, ready for tea. Martika is in stonewashed jeans alongside her 'Spice Girls' T-Shirt. bare foot too. The Spice Girls are her fav band, from back in the day.
Kids are watching some TV shit.
Mark comes in. Martika asks me to take care of the kids and the kitchen door, that's always open except for when Mark bangs Martika before she starts her shift - a tradition - so the kids ask.
"Is mummy and daddy alright?"
There's Miya, Jasmin and Suzanne...all looking at me.....there's slightly raised voices from the other room. Anguish. Upset. I'm worried. At least no shouting, which was something that we did have in the household a little.
So Martika come in, a little tearful. Bitch has been crying. Her mascara is still in place, thank fuck, but her red eyes give her away....that plus the tissue.
The kids are worried. But she puts them at ease..."No, sweethearts, all is good. Nothing to worry about. Miya, can you take Jas and Suzie out in the garden to play a little while? Thanks honey."
They go trundling off.....slightly hesitant....definitely oblivious....to what is about to go down.
Martika drops the bombshell.
