Natalie's Triumphant Strength

The sun had finally set and Natalie could finally find some much needed rest. She had been working non stop since she got back from Miami, the shoot was a success, but the flight back to New York gave her the blues.

She had been in Miami for three months, living in an apartment with three other girls. The whole experience was amazing until she discovered she was pregnant. She wanted to tell her boyfriend, but he left without saying goodbye. He never even called her again. The girl who arranged for her place to live, handed her a phone number and told her to call if she needed anything. She did call, about 15 times a day for the first week and then every other day after that. When she returned to New York she walked down to the address given to her by the girl who helped her find an apartment. She found her way into a large building that looked like an old hospital or something. She knocked on the door and a plump woman opened it for her. Natalie asked if there was anyone working there by the name of Maria and after looking at her for a moment, the woman let out a small laugh as she pointed to herself and said "Maria?"

Natalie nodded slowly and replied "Yes."

The women went silent again as she thought about what to say next, before shrugging and walking over to a desk where she sat down. Picking up a notepad and pen she wrote down something quickly before ripping off the piece of paper and handing it to Natalie who took it with shaking hands. As soon as she had unfolded it she read: 305-555-2357 Call this number if you need anything. It's my number sweetheart. It's Maria's number baby girl.

She hadn't been able to get any work done today because all she could think about is how she couldn't wait until tomorrow when she would start working again, just like all those years ago when everything fell apart for her family because of their debt to the wrong people. That's why this job was so important for her now, more than ever before because if all went according to plan then maybe, just maybe they could be free of all this once more without having to pay someone else back for their debts with interest attached like they did last time around.

She lay on top of one of two beds piled high with clothes while another empty bed wasn't much better off across from hers, but as long as it meant having somewhere quiet where no one can bother me right now then I'll take whatever I can get today lady luck!

Natalie sighed as she stared up at the ceiling above her wondering how many beautiful women had slept in this very room during their trip here? How many naked bodies had graced these sheets before hers? How many men were so consumed with lust that they forgot to remember their own names?

Lord knows I've seen my fair share of half naked men running around here today... She thought as she ran through each model that came in today for their photo shoot which made Natalie wonder if any of them were gay?
