“Sick mother fuckers.” I muttered handing the paper back to her.
“So what do you think?”
“I think….” I stopped and stared at her as it hit me why she had been acting the way she had. “Alicia, are you thinking of…”
“Yes.” She said quickly. “Andy I talked to the woman and…”
“You talked to her?”
“I…I’ve had this paper for a week,” she admitted, “I found it by accident. Another waitress who knew what was going on at home suggested I….I run an ad. She said I could make thousands in a few months.”
“Oh my god!” I shook my head, “You weren’t really thinking of whoring yourself were you?”
“I…I was.” She put her head down. “Some of those ads, the girls were charging a thousand a night and hooking up with sugar daddy types. But when I read the other ads, the guys looking for women I got scared. I mean, I want to have a career and who knows if I would ever run into a guy I…well you know.”
“But you…you’d fuck me?” I asked shocked.
“I went to toss the paper away,” she continued, “but I was on break and figured I’d look at the other ads and get a laugh and I saw this. I thought it was sick, but…” she shrugged, “I kept the paper and when mom said Uncle Roger was her last chance, I…I responded and they replied with a phone number.”
“I can’t believe you would do that!” I told her, “Sis, this is disgusting! Its…”
“She said they’ll pay us twenty thousand dollars.”
“I….how much?”
“You heard me and in cash.” She said. “Andy that’s enough to catch up on the mortgage, pay the taxes, bank a couple of payments and even pay on mom’s credit cards.”
“But we…we’d have to have sex!” I pointed out, “And in front of someone!”
“I know it’s out there, but there’s no other way.”
“Then we move.” I pointed at the paper, “I’m sorry sis, that’s gross and you’re nuts for even thinking about it.”
“Andy, Mom’s a wreck, this house means everything to her, you said that yourself. You also said you would do anything to help.
“I did, but I meant anything within reason.”
“Andy, please!” she began to pout.
“Oh, knock it off.” I told her. “Besides, even if we did where would you tell mom we got that kind of money.”
“I told her I was going to take my tips this weekend and go to the casino. We’ll say we went and hit big.”
“Alicia….” I put my hands out, “This is crazy not to mention disgusting.”
“You think I’m disgusting?”
“Sex with you would be.”
“Thanks.” She rolled her eyes. “You didn’t seem to mind staring at my ass a few minutes ago.” She gave me a nasty smile, “How’d you like to see all of me? How would you like to see my pretty little pout around your…”
“Stop that!” I snapped. “Christ sis, you said you wouldn’t fuck guys for money, but you’d fuck me? That’s even worse.”
“Not…not really.” She said.
“How the hell do you figure that?”
“Look Andy, I’m a good looking girl and I know I have a damn fine body.”
“Modest aren’t we?” I gave a nervous laugh.
“You said it yourself my tips tell the tale I don’t get them for my pretty smile.” Leaning over she lowered her voice. “Remember when I came home with five hundred dollars that paid the overdue gas bill a few months ago?”
