[babygirlgalitzine]

i'm not sure if you'd write anything like this but i would LOVE to read a fic where rob is say an escort and aaron is a rich business man (or switch them around idk) and robert starts falling for him but aaron starts getting more detached the more time they spend w each other

Escort

Aaron stood in front of his full body mirror, smoothing hisgrey suit down, turning sideways on to check if he looked presentable. He’dbeen invited to a industry party, a high class event, and he knew that peoplewould ask questions if he showed up alone. He’d been to so many of them beforethat it had gotten repetitive, barely walking in the door before someone askedwhere his plus one was.

“I’m single.” He’d say. “I’ve got nobody to take to eventslike this.”

They’d sympathise, of course they would. A young, attractivemulti-millionaire: single? But they didn’t seem to twig that Aaron didn’t wantto introduce anyone to this world. He spent so much time in it, trying to buildhis own business up from scratch, wanting to get that validation and successfullife that he dreamed of having, that he just didn’t have time to meet a newbloke.

Which is why he had called up an escort business, asked foran attractive man, similar age to Aaron’s own, in hope that people would fallfor their lie. He was due to be knocking on Aaron’s door any moment, Aarondeciding that they should at least meet up beforehand so that they could sortout their cover story.

What Aaron hadn’t taken into consideration, however, was howattractive the escort would be.

He turned up at Aaron’s door, his shoulder leaning againstthe frame, black suit perfectly fitted to his body. It wasn’t designer, but atleast it was tailored perfectly, and for that, Aaron thanked his lucky stars.

His name was Robert, and he looked amazing.

“So, what’s the plan?” Robert asked, sneaking a look atAaron’s arse as he bent over to pick up his wallet and keys.

“You’re my boyfriend, we’ve been together for six months andI’ve kept you secret because I didn’t want to mix my business with my personallife.” Aaron spoke, explaining everything to Robert whilst walking around hisroom.

Robert nodded along, listening carefully to Aaron’sinstructions. He needed this money, and hopefully, if he did a convincingenough job tonight, Aaron would hire him for more jobs.

“So, Aaron, how exactly are you single?” Robert had askedthe invasive question as Aaron sat in the drivers seat. “I mean, you’re hardlyugly, and you’re successful.”

Aaron pulled out of his drive, beeping the button againstthe brick wall, allowing the electronic gates to open up in front of them.“Building a business empire takes time and patience. While my friends from backhome went out to nightclubs every weekend, I was working on business plans, andsigning contracts.” Aaron explained, eyes firmly on the road. “I didn’t havetime to go out and meet men, it just wasn’t something that ever interested me-I figured that once I had my business the way I wanted it, I’d get a boyfriend,but I really just haven’t done anything about that.”

“What exactly is your business?” Robert asked, pressing hishead against the plush leather head rest, eyes trained on Aaron’s side profile,inwardly not at all complaining about having to spend time with the attractiveman.

“I buy and sell classic cars and car parts.” Aaronexplained. “I used to work at my uncles garage and we had a few classic carscoming in from time to time and that’s how I got interested in them. So now Ihave dealers in different places all over the country, a few in Europe, and we basicallyget hold of the cars, sell them off to different places if the price is right.”

Robert nodded, already sensing that Aaron was going to askhim a question next.

He did.

“How did you get into the escort business then?”

Robert chuckled, knowing that pretty much everyone he metthrough his job either asked the same question, or wanted to ask it.

“I was nineteen and my dad pretty much abandoned me.” Hestarted, voice trailing off a little bit. “I didn’t have a lot of money, andthe money I did have allowed me to be put in a hostel for a couple of nights.Within a couple of weeks I met my first boss and he helped me get off thestreets through being an escort. It’s not the best job in the world, but itmakes money, and as a nineteen year old that was the most important thing.”

Just as Aaron predicted, the moment he walked into thebuilding with Robert on his arm, they were bombarded with questions. It was thefirst time for people at the event to see Aaron’s personal life, even if itwasn’t actually real. Robert stayed with Aaron, smiling at and shaking handswith everyone Aaron mingled with, talking both business and pleasure. Aaronknew Robert had experience with this, that much was easy to see. Aaron handed apint over to Robert, who he had left to speak to Mark, who had only recentlycome into the industry circle. Robert, attempting to keep up with the lie,kissed Aarons jawline in a way to say ‘thank you’, his nose tickling as itbrushed against Aarons beard. Unsurprisingly, Aaron flushed a pale shade ofred, not used to this contact at all, but thankfully everyone played it offthat Robert just caused Aaron to react that way because it was Robert.

“I cant believe you kept him hidden for six months Aaron!”Marks wife exclaimed, drinking the last of her champagne. “He’s definitely akeeper.”

Aaron chuckled, naturally wrapping his arm around Robertswaist, which even surprised himself. “Definitely.” He responded, pullingRoberts body into his own.

A day later, the money had been transferred into Robertsbank account, more money than he had been expecting. The money Aaron had givenRobert was on par with the money he would be expected to earn if they had hadsex, which would now mean that Robert would be called in, because, in all thetime Robert had been at this firm, he was one of the escorts that didn’t havesex with clients. Especially first time clients.

Robert was right, because less than an hour later, he wasbeing called into the office.

“This money that Mr Dingle transferred to you.” His boss, John,said. “What did you do to get that?”

Robert shrugged, knowing that it’d be difficult to get outof this one. “I just went to his industry party, acted like his boyfriend. Ikissed his cheek, and nothing else happened. He was just rich, probably thoughtthat was how much I was owed.”

John tilted back on his chair, intertwining his fingersacross his chest. “Anyway, whatever you did yesterday worked. He wants to be aregular client for you now.”

“Really?” Robert asked, genuinely shocked and surprised. Heknew that they seemed to work well together, and that people bought into theirlie, but he didn’t expect Aaron to want to become a regular client.

John nodded. “Obviously we’ll have to do the normal checksbefore you both see each other again, and he has shown evidence of being clean.You can do your checks today and we’ll go on from there.”

It was three days. Three whole days since Aaron had asked tobecome a regular client for Robert. They both had all the relevant checks, justto make sure they were both clean in case anything did end up happening betweenthe two of them. Aaron had asked for Robert to meet him at his work office,knowing full well that people had been talking and the news that Aaron actuallyhad a boyfriend had spread like wildfire. People had been asking Aaron how theyhad met, a few of the women wanting to see photos of Robert, and Aaron hadbarely managed to escape the wrath of them when he kept his cards close to hischest. That was the thing about being the boss of his own business. Most peoplewould expect him to be harsh and refuse to speak to his employees, but Aaronbelieved that that wasn’t the way to run a business. He, from the very start,didn’t treat people in a hierarchal order, he was down to earth and lookedafter everyone, treating everyone in the exact same way.

Robert walked in, giving his name to the man on the desk,who rang up to Aaron’s office. Robert knew the minute he came into contact withpeople at the firm that all eyes were on him. It was like they just knew. Aaron had already warned him thatpeople had been gossiping, he had asked John to pass that information on toRobert.

“Never expected to hear from you again.” Robert announcedafter shutting Aaron’s door.

Aaron stood up from his chair, walking to the front of hisdesk and leaning against it, arms folded across his body. “Well everyone wantedto meet my boyfriend, so I thought I’d give them the pleasure.” He explained.“But that means that the lie has to keep going on, so I thought I’d become aregular client for the time being.”

“Yeah about that.” Robert started. “You gave me way too muchmoney for what is was! I had my boss on my back think we slept together.”

Aaron smirked, pushing off the desk and walking towardsRobert. “Well you are attractive.”

Robert rolled his eyes, all of a sudden become a shy mess,something that just didn’t happen to him. He was confident, sometimes overlyso. But not now. Not with Aaron.  Hesomehow managed to speak. “So how is this happening? Do you just get in touchwith John when you need me or?”

“I was thinking more, you give me your number and we canstay in touch through that?” Aaron asked.

Robert nodded, taking his phone out of his jeans pocket andhanding it over to Aaron, taking that moment to look at him closely. He wasdressed formally, a crisp white shirt tucked into some black suit trousers, hissleeves rolled over slightly, showing off just a little bit of his forearms.Robert appreciated his chest, and knew that Aaron must work out regularly toachieve that. He was gorgeous in Robert’s eyes, and he didn’t like to see hisclients in anyway other that just clients, but he couldn’t help it when it cameto Aaron.

The next couple of times they met, Aaron had needed Robertfor business events. People had become aware that Aaron was going to them morefrequently than he needed to, and it was no coincidence at all that he onlywent to them to spend time with Robert. None at all.

Aaron didn’t seem to care what people were saying about him,he actually encouraged the gossip, because it always made for a conversationwhen he texted Robert. Which he did a lot.

It was almost as if they had started a relationship up, andit was real.

This time they met up, it was completely different. Theywouldn’t be around hundreds of business associates, it would be just the two ofthem, on a date, with Mark and his wife. It was Mark who suggested it, over thephone to Aaron at the beginning of the week. Of course, Aaron agreed. Whowouldn’t? It was a chance to see Robert dressed up in a nice suit again, and tospend more time with him.

That was why he sent Robert off to Aarons favourite tailor.He wanted Robert to have the nicest suit possible. Entirely for Aarons ownbenefit.

The restaurant was posh enough. Robert could see that as Aarondrove them in front of the grand building, handing the keys to his ’64 Bentleyover to the valet.

“Marks texted me and he’s already in there with Kath.” Aarontold Robert as he intertwined their fingers together. They’d never done thatbefore, but it felt natural in that moment.

“So tell me.” Kath started, putting her fork to her plate,looking up at Robert and Aaron, who were sat opposite her and her husband.“When did the two of you meet, exactly?”

Robert decided to take the lead, gently brushing his fingerover Aaron’s knuckle, who pulled back in shock slightly before realising thatRobert was only doing his job. “Aaron’s best friend managed to drag him on anight out, which isn’t something he would usually go along with, but I’m gladhe did. We bumped into each other, I bought him a pint and he was shamelesslyflirting with me so we just exchanged numbers and met up for a meal afterthat.”

Aaron just nodded along, smiling at Robert.

“That’s adorable,” Kath commented. “Isn’t it, darling?”

“It is.” Mark smiled earnestly. “I hope you two are as happyas me and Kath are.”

Aaron smiled, taking the lead and kissing Robert’s handgently, something else that they had never done. “We are.”

By the time it was time to go home, it was getting onto halfeleven at night, the sky a pitch black colour and only the street lights and afew cars illuminated the roads. Aaron drove straight back to his own house,knowing that in reality, he was too tired to drive any further. “You can stayhere tonight.” He told Robert. “Unless you have somewhere to be?”

Robert shook his head, getting out of Aaron’s car. “Nope,I’m free now until you need to use me again.”

Neither of them knew exactly how it happened, but it wasalways inevitable. Aaron had Robert up against the wall, his hands shovedbetween their two bodies, rubbing against Robert’s crotch as they kissed.

Robert somehow managed to find the strength to push Aaron upthe stairs, silently begging Aaron to take him to his bedroom. Which he did,thankfully.

The roles were reversed as Aaron led on his bed, the quiltinstantly being messed up as he shrugged his trousers off, Robert stood at thefoot of the bed doing the exact same. “You okay with this?” Aaron askedbreathily as Robert climbed over him, making quick work of unbuttoning hisshirt.

“Yeah.” Robert responded, his voice deep with lust. “You?”

Aaron didn’t vocally respond, he pressed his lips to Robertand helped Robert into a state of undress, so both of them were equally asnaked as the other.

The next morning, Aaron woke up with Robert wrapped aroundhis body, legs intertwined under the covers. He looked at his bedroom floor,eyes squinting ever so slightly because of how bright it was in his room. Allhe could see was his and Robert’s clothes scattered over the floor, boxershanging halfway off the bedpost.

He got up slowly, in an attempt to not wake Robert up, wholooked like he was sleeping soundly, a relaxed look on his face, making himlook younger. Aaron wished he could stay in bed with him all day, but there wasa nagging part of him that knew it would never work. He couldn’t have arelationship with an escort. It would ruin his reputation if it got out. Soinstead, he quietly picked up his clothes, grabbed something new to wear towork, and left £150 on the bedside table for Robert when he eventuallysurfaced.

 ur a prick

i honestly thought imeant something to u

obviously not

Just a few of the many messages that Robert had left forAaron over the course of the day.

Aaron inwardly groaned, dropping his head onto his desk.

“What’s up smiler?” Josh asked, popping his head around thecorner at the sound.

Aaron looked up, tears welling in his eyes as he realisedhe’d fucked up.

“Oh that’s a bad look.” Josh so fantastically pointed out.“Break up?”

Aaron didn’t know what to say, so he just nodded. It was almost a break up, right? Itcertainly felt like one.

“Mate, just go home, or go and see him if it can be solved.”Josh advised. “You were great together, and we can run this place whilst you’regone.”

So Aaron did just that. He rang Robert up, left a missedcall asking him to meet Aaron at the coffee place around the corner fromAaron’s, and all he could do was hope and pray that it wasn’t too late.

Fourty-five minutes. A whole three quarters of an hour Aaronwas sat there, staring into space as he drank the last of his outrageouslypriced coffee. It was another five minutes before he decided that Robert wasn’tcoming, and so he handed his mug over to a waiter and walked out onto the coldstreet, wind blowing in his face.

“Not nice is it?” A voice shouted from over the road. “Beingleft?”

“Rob.” Aaron breathed out, the nickname something he hadn’tcalled Robert before, but in that moment, it just worked.

Aaron stepped closer, walking across the road so they couldactually speak rather than shout. “I’m sorry, okay? I’m so sorry foreverything.”

Robert’s eyes didn’t leave the floor, his hands balled upinto fists in his jacket pockets. “You shouldn’t have left me like that. Youwanted to have sex just as much as I did.”

“I know I did. And I’m sorry for leaving you, I didn’t wantto hurt you. I guess I didn’t want to hurt myself either.” He said honestly.“Remember that time we spoke about me not having a boyfriend?”

Aaron waited for Robert to nod before carrying on.

“I told you how I’d have feelings for people, but then pushthem away because I got scared. Well that’s what happened with us.” Aaron said.“I fell hard for you, but pushed you away bec-“

“Because of my job yeah, I get it.” Robert practically spat,getting ready to walk away, only to be dragged back by Aaron.

“Yes okay, because of your job.” Aaron said. “But also thefact that I’ve never had a boyfriend, never been in love and that thoughtterrifies me.”

Robert licked his dry lips before he spoke. “I would’ve stoppedfor you. Gone into a proper job, if me and you actually settled down.”

“And we still can.” Aaron responded seriously. “I want you.I reckon I have done since that first day.”

Robert’s arms wrapped around Aaron’s waist, both of them holdingon to each other now. “If you promise to not leave me like that again, I’ll leavethe firm today, come home with you.”

Aaron leaned forward, catching Roberts lips in a kiss, bothof them smirking into it, neither of them wanting to break apart, but they did.

“I promise.”
