The Model

Chapter Three – A Stupid mistake

 

Amy thought back to that night where it all began and hoped she could trust Simone enough with the truth.  She knew that she could end up in jail if the truth of what she had done got out.  Taking a deep breath, she began to tell Simone her story.

 

“It all started one Saturday night at work.  Kyle and I both worked in the same club and on this night we were the last two there, and so had the job of closing up.  I had been working behind the bar, so was in charge of putting the money in the safe and Kyle was busy stacking up the chairs and sweeping the floor.  I had had a bad week and had rent due the following morning. I had hoped to earn enough in tips, but the night had been slow and I was short $200.  I knew that I would be able to get the money from my parents but as I had to pay the rent before I would see them, I thought that I would be able to return the money when I opened up on Monday morning, the club being closed on Sunday.  I thought that Kyle was still busy sweeping as I took the money from the safe and placed it in my purse before locking the safe.  When I stood up to finish wiping down the bar, I was surprised to see Kyle standing there.

 

I didn’t know what, if anything, he had seen and decided to play it cool.  I thought he might have seen something when he came around to my side of the bar and stood behind me, his hands on my shoulders.  Even then I was hoping he was only trying to crack on to me again, having tried a number of times to get me to go out with him.  I didn’t dislike him then but he was not the type of man I usually went out with. However, as soon as he bent down and whispered in my ear, I knew that things were not going as I had hoped.  He told me that he had seen me take the money and with my history of shoplifting, he said that the police would be very interesting in what I had done.  I had been arrested the year before for shoplifting and had six months left on a good behaviour bond.  He knew about this after over hearing me telling one of the other waitresses one day.  He told me that I would go to jail.  I asked him if I could just put the money back; that I had made a mistake. He made me sweat it out for a few minutes, pretending to be trying to decide what to do.  Finally he made me look right at him.  I can still see the look of excitement in his eyes, as if he was happy that I would go to jail. 

 

He told me he had a plan that would keep me out of jail but it would mean that I had to do exactly what he said.  At that time, all I could focus on was that he wasn’t going to call the police.  If I had had any idea what he meant, I would have taken jail any day.”

 

Amy paused to take a drink, needing a moment to prepare herself to tell the next part of her story.  She was glad that Simone was just letting her talk, finding it easier to be able to tell her story without interruptions.  She had barely noticed what had gone on with April and Paul and was momentarily surprised to see April tied onto a cross with nasty looking clamps hanging from her nipples.  Paul was using a cane on her and she could see the intent look on his face as he struck her breasts.  She wanted to block her ears at the sound of her moans but forced herself to turn back to Simone and continue her story.

 

Simone had been aware of Amy’s discomfort at what was happening behind the glass, but didn’t want to distract her from her story by talking to her about it.  When she saw that Amy was ready to continue, she put down her own drink and sat forward, wanting to know what had happened next.

 

“He told me that if I would submit to him, he would not call the police. Now, I had no idea what he meant but assumed that he wanted to have sex and that would be that.  I agreed, only thinking of my not having to go to jail. He even allowed me to return the money and replaced the tape in the video so that the boss would not see what I had done. This was not unusual, as he often changed the tapes.  We locked up and I was not surprised when he took me to his home in his car. He didn’t say anything as he drove, but ran his hand up and down my thigh until he pulled into his driveway and into his garage. He told me not to move and came around to my side of the car.  The first sign that something was not quite right was when he took a hold of my hair and forced me out of the car. 

 

I yelled at him to stop, that he was hurting me, but all he did was slap me across the face and tell me to be quiet.  I was so stunned that he had actually hit me that I was in his bedroom before I knew it.  He gripped me around the throat and told me that he was in charge now and that I must call him sir.  I was choking and just wanted him to let me go.  I begged him to release me, which he did when I finally called him sir.  I knew that I was in big trouble, but didn’t know how to get away from him.  He proceeded to make me strip for him, sitting watching me from the bed.  Once I was naked, he called me over to him and forced me onto my knees in front of him.  I was made to give him a blowjob, his big cock stretching my throat as he held my ears and forced my head up and down.  It was just horrible; I had never had a man treat me like that before and couldn’t help crying.  Kyle just laughed and told me I had better get used to it.  I didn’t know what he meant, still thinking that he would just want one night, and then I could go back home.

 

He made me stand again and turned me around, taking both of my wrists in his hand.  I felt him attach what I later knew were cuffs to my wrists and clip these together, locking my hands behind my back. He was beginning to really scare me by then and I made a dash for the door, just wanting to get away from him.  Of course, I didn’t get very far and only succeeded in making him angry.  Gripping me by the hair, he pulled me back into the room and hit me so hard I hit the wall.  I just lay there, feeling my cheek sting where he had hit it.  The night just went from bad to worse as he proceeded to force himself on me. I had known he would want sex but this was unlike any sex I had ever had. 

 

By the next morning, I was sore but glad that I would be able to go home.  I still can’t believe how naïve I had been.  After he had used my body again, he calmly started to tell me what my life would be like from then on.  He said that he had the tape and he could go to the police at any time unless I continued to do what he said.  That was when I knew I was stuck.  Over the last three months he has made me do the most awful and humiliating things.  Of course, he has used any excuse to punish me. So that is how I ended up here, though I am sure Kyle did not think that you guys would treat me so nicely.  He never makes me do anything that he doesn’t think will embarrass me.”

 

Simone had remained silent throughout Amy’s story but now she stood up and bent down in front of her.  “Amy, I am so sorry for what you have been through.  It is a sad fact of life that there will always be evil people out there. I just want you to know that we will not let you down.” She reached out and gave Amy a hug, feeling her hug her back in a fierce grip.  When she let go, she moved back so she could look at her again.

 

“Simone, over the last few months I felt like I was all alone. Kyle has made me break contact with my family and friends, so I had forgotten what it feels like to be with a friend. Thank you so much for all you have done, even if I have to go back to him, I will never forget your kindness.”

 

Both girls were startled by Paul’s voice, neither having noticed that he had finished and left the stage.  “Good to see that you two are getting along so well. Under different circumstances, I would suggest that you both come home and play.” He saw Amy blush at his comment, while Simone just looked up at him and smiled. “Come on back into the room and I will tell you what I have thought of to help Amy.” He could see that Amy looked so much more relaxed then she had before and wondered what had gone on between the two. 

 

Back in the dressing room, Simone left Amy to make a sandwich while she told Paul about what Amy had told her.  She was eager to know what Paul had thought of to help, but knew he would not say anything until Amy was back sitting down. Once they were all settled, she saw Paul sit down, his serious look back on his face.

 

“Amy, I have been thinking about some of the ways we could get that bastard Kyle out of your life. Now they are all fairly vague, but just listen and see if you like the sound of any of them.  First of, we can have him beaten up and warned of, but that will not really solve anything but make me feel better. Another idea is to get you somewhere safe while he not around, but then you will always be looking over your shoulder.  My other idea is to give him a taste of his own medicine. I spoke to Tony when I came of stage and he told me had lots of great footage of Kyle that he had taken today, which he would not want to show his mother.  I don’t know a lot about him, but would I be right in guessing that he keeps this side of his character a secret?”

 

“Well, I had no idea what he was like and I don’t think anyone else did either.  Most people seem to think he is a great guy. Do you think it would work?”  Paul could hear the anxiety in her voice. “Love, I really can’t say for sure, but I think it is our best bet.  What do you think? If you don’t want to risk it, just say so.”

 

Amy considered what he was saying, but knew that she had to take that chance to get free. “ I just know that I can’t go on with things the way they are. I would rather be dead then have to live my life with him. So if you think it will work, then I would love you to give it a go.” 

 

“Ok, then let’s get this set up.  I’ll give Tony another call and arrange to meet him and Kyle.  It would be much better to do this away from here.”  Everyone jumped as there was a knock on the door. 

 

“Oh God, what if that is him, what will I do?” Amy could feel her old fear coming back at the thought that it was Kyle coming back to get her. 

 

“If it is him, I will try to get rid of him, I promise, though you may have to talk to him,”  Paul told her. She watched as he opened the door, her heart beating so loudly she was sure everyone could hear it.  Even the presence of Simone beside her could not calm her.  When Kyle walked in behind Paul she began to shake, certain he would somehow know that they had been plotting against him. 

 

“Hey, I totally lost track of the time, has she been on yet?”  Kyle looked right at her as he spoke, his blue eyes boring into her.  “No, I rang Tony before the show and he told me that you were busy, so I used another model.  However, if you want I can use her in the next show at 5.00pm. It would mean you would have to hang around for another hour or so though.”  All the time Paul was speaking, Kyle was glaring at Amy. He could see her squirming under his gaze and so wanted to teach the man some manners. However, he knew that he had to be patient and bide his time. Kyle finally turned back to him.“ Well, I suppose I could take Amy with me now, continue looking around, and have her back in time for the show. 

 

Paul saw Amy go pale at Kyle’s suggestion, but didn’t want to be seen to be making too much of a fuss in case he got suspicious.  “Yes you could do that, but she is most welcome to stay here with us if she likes.”  At this, Amy looked up hopefully, only to have her hopes dashed.  “I don’t know, I haven’t seen her much today and I had some plans for what we would do here together. I will have her back by 4.45, would that give you enough time?”  Paul knew that to protest any more would look strange, so he casually shrugged and said that would be fine.

 

Simone could feel Amy shaking beside her and had to fight the urge to take her by the hand and run.  She knew that Paul had to let him take her, or else he would think something was up.  The last thing she wanted them to do was to get her into more trouble.  She squeezed Amy’s hand and stood up, bringing Amy to her feet with her.
