Chereads / LADY ROUGE: THE TRAGIC LIFE OF ALICIA SANCHEZ / Chapter 5 - Birth Of Lady Rouge

Chapter 5 - Birth Of Lady Rouge

After leaving the client's home, Alicia could not help but feel envious of Carmen's ability to be free with her body. She wished that she could have an ounce of Carman's courage. The two changed their clothes once Carmen and Alicia returned to Carmen's apartment.

"So, you think you can do this?"

"Looks fairly easy!" Carmen laughed.

"Easy!? There is nothing easy about this job. Like every employment, it has its moments!"

"Like what?"

"Men will try to cheat you out of your money if they try to talk you down of your price. Walk away!!"

"So, what do I do now?"

"Go home and prepare a couple of outfits." Carmen goes to her safe, pulls out a thousand dollars, and hands it to her.

"What is this for?" Alicia suspiciously inquired.

"This is a small loan. You will need to buy clothes."

Alicia looks at the money, thinking there is a hidden agenda behind Carmen's generosity. She knew what it felt like to be deceived and her trust betrayed.

"No, thank you, I'll manage."

"Don't be stupid! You need this money to buy clothes."

"I'll figure something out."

"Your loss!" Carmen returned the money to the safe; however, she removed a small wooden box and handed it to Alicia.

"If you don't take any money, you should at least take this."

"What is this?" Alicia curiously inquired.

"Open it!" Alicia opened the box revealing a small hand pistol for a woman with little hands.

"I can't take this. I don't like guns."

"You better learn to love them. There are many psychopaths out there. You need to protect yourself and carry it at all times."

"Do you have one?" Alicia asked. Carmen brandished a small gun from her purse.

"I never leave home without it." Alicia closed the box and tucked it into her purse.

"When you do this profession, you'll have to offer men something they feel they can't get from no other women. You have to be unique."

"How?"

"That is up to you to figure out. Time for you to go. I need to sleep." Carmen leads Alicia to the door. Alicia walks through the door.

"Come back this evening. Before setting you up with clients, I need to teach you some things."

Alicia left the apartment and thought about what she had witnessed. She returned home and immediately went to sleep. Alicia showed up the next evening at Carmen's apartment. Carmen led her to the living room as she smoked a cigarette. On the coffee table are books on eroticism.

"Sit!" Carmen demanded as she took a puff of her cigarette. Alicia sat while Carmen sat in a love seat across from her. Alicia's eyes focused on the books seeing a list of titles, such as Kama Sutra, Perfumed Garden, and Sex Tantra.

"What's all this?" asked Alicia about the books.

"Research, dear."

"Research!?" Alicia asked in a confused manner.

"You'll have to learn more about sex than just spreading your legs. You're going to have to sell your customers their fantasy. To win men over and get them to do what you want. Entice their minds. Ignite their curiosity."

"Sounds like a lot to do!" Alicia replied.

"It is, but when men are in lust, their heart and souls are an open book." Carmen slightly chuckled with her cigarette in her hand.

"More important, dear, you'll have to have rules."

"Rules?"

"Yes, to help keep you grounded in this profession. You can easily lose yourself in such a lifestyle."

"What rules should I have?"

"Rule number 1: Never let your personal life interfere with your professional life. Always keep them separate from each other. Rule Number #2: Never fall in love with your clients."

"Why should I not love a client if I am selling it?"

"You're not selling love; you are selling a fantasy to whatever they desire.

"The third most important rule is to create a professional name. It will keep your clients intrigued with mystery." Carmen with a wink while showing her pearly whites.

"Did you have one?" asked Alicia.

"Mine was White Diamond Empress. Next week we will be going out to your first client. Take those books and study them faithfully."

Alicia hurried home and began her studies. Alicia flipped through the books and studied them religiously. She was intrigued by a woman wearing a ballroom mask in one book. She thought about Carmen's words of wisdom about separating personal life from her professional nightlife. Once she got a good idea of what style she wanted for her erotic lifestyle. Alicia wasted no time assembling her wardrobe.

She quickly went to the dry cleaners and purchased the red dress in the thrift store pile. Her new bra and panties set were hand washed. Buying more would break her bank budget. Alicia finished assembling her wardrobe, but it was missing something. She wanted to offer something different. Alicia remembered the woman wearing a mask in the burlesque book. She felt it would be great to have on for her wardrobe. Alicia decided to go to a fabric store to buy the materials Alicia needed to make her mask. She stayed up all night designing a red cover, creating it with crimson red feathers and rhinestones.

Alicia was pleased with her work. The following weekend Carmen set up clients for each night on the weekend. Alicia was getting prepared at Carmen's apartment. Carmen was amazed to see her assemble an outfit with limited resources.

Carmen grabbed a perfume bottle and squirted a single burst of fragrance on Alicia's neck. Very impressed with how her figure is revealed through her dress; the way Carmen looks at her, you would have thought she was a lesbian.

"Why did you pick me to do this type of work?"

"You and I are alike, both immigrants trying to survive in a strange land," replied Carmen pulling a cigarette from her cigarette case.

"Besides, I have more clients than I can handle. I figure I will give some to you and collect a 30% finder's fee. I can at least make some profit."

Carmen accompanied Alicia to her first client at a luxury hotel. Alicia looked stunning in her bright scarlet dress. Her mask and dark sanguine-hued lipstick almost gave her an otherworldly appearance against the soft lighting of the hallway. The transformation of Senora Sangria or Lady Rouge was now complete. Alicia felt empowered by her new independence and liberated from the bonds of morality.

As a mentor, Carmen was by her side during her first foray into the profession. Hotel management escorted them both to the Presidential Suite. Alicia became nervous with every step she took. One would swear that there was an earthquake by the way her legs shook. The hotel manager led her to the doors of the Presidential Suite, where a guard stood in front of a pair of mahogany doors adorned with polished brass doorknobs.

The guard dismissed the manager and turned his attention toward Alicia and Carmen. The guard threw both against the wall to frisk them to ensure there were no weapons. Carmen began to protest, which only seemed to increase the guard's hostility. Alicia was appalled by the guard's intrusion into her personal space. Carmen saw that Alicia was about to lose her nerve.

"Look at me!" Alicia looked at Carmen with fearful eyes that were about to tear up.

"Relax, love! All this is just part of a routine. It will be over soon." Carmen replied, giving Alicia a reassuring look. Alicia nodded her head as she held back the tears.

Once the guard completed his frisk and search, he directed them inside the hotel room. Alicia entered the room cautiously. She wondered what type of client she acquired with such security procedures.

Carmen's client was turned on by her nervousness. It showed her client that her soul was untainted by the world. He beckoned Alicia to follow him into the bedroom portion of the presidential suite. She nervously followed her client until they reached a door. Carmen asked for the payment upfront. The client obliged by handing her a leather envelope with more money than she had ever seen.

Carmen walked toward them and retrieved the envelope. After counting the bills, she told Alicia that all the money was there. The client took Alicia by the hand and led her inside his bedroom. The couple disappeared behind closed doors and immediately began passionately kissing.

The client was very gentle with his evening pet. Alicia's nervousness dissipated as he lifted her in his arms and placed her on the bed. She did not resist his lead and allowed him to remove her lingerie. He gently kissed her from breasts to navel as she moaned hypnotically with each touch of his lips. He showed them his hunger as he reached her lips between her hips.

Alicia arched her back as she forcefully climaxed against his tongue. The client smiled as he kissed his way back toward her, fully opening his mouth. Lady Rouge started to kiss him while he gently slid inside of her passionately. Lady Rouge locked eyes with her client and continued to rock back and forth until he was spent and could go no more.

Once Alicia is done with her first client, Carmen droves back to her apartment in her 84′ purple mustangs. Carmen wasted no time setting Alicia with more clients. With every assignment, Carmen went with Alicia whenever she had a client. Carmen provided emotional support for Alicia. Carmen knew what it was like to be put into a situation without help, especially having strange men having her on her back and doing whatever they pleased for money.

Carmen continued to provide a wide range of clients for Alicia. After her fifth client, Alicia became immune to nervousness and fear. When Carmen gave Alicia her first $2000 on her first night, Alicia was surprised and grateful that Carmen was true to her word.

The money-motivated Alicia to try to submit to her client's desires. Carmen received great reviews about Alicia and decided to up her pay, as Carmen received more clients by referral. Carmen increased Alicia's fees from $1000 to over $5000 a session. Alicia's new source of income had given her a new lease on life. She moved out of the public housing apartment and into an appealing three-bedroom apartment downtown. She quit her job at the nail salon and the dry cleaners, as her late-night profession and sleeping during the day were a distraction.

Alicia had expanded her wardrobe collections. Wearing the same wardrobe over and over would have made her look classless and boring. She went to Secret Confessions to purchase more "uniforms." She bought anything that fit her that was red, black, or white. She wore red as her primary color & black and white as her secondary colors. She bought a more expensive and exotic wardrobe. After working for Carmen for three months, she could afford her apartment. She saved whatever she did not spend so she could have enough money to rescue her sister, open her boutique, and retire from her call girl profession.
