When 8 strike in the clock, Noelle hesitated to come out of the door. Blake delivered clothes while she's asleep. Surprisingly, it was women's. Noelle took a bath and dressed herself, but there's no available hair spray or blush on at his dressing counter.
Standing at the full-length mirror, the threads of the white dress was wondrous.
"He picked the right size. How come he knew all of women sizes?" Noelle quivered her lip, straightening her ball skirt, and checked the back side.
It fitted her well, no wide or skimpy areas.
The hallway was still silent. She couldn't hear anything but the gush of air conditioner.
Noelle checked her cell phone, and no messages.
"I should go." Eagerly, Noelle reached out to the door, and was going to open it when someone knocked. It jolted her quickly, rushing to open after a millisecond. When she did so, Blake was already in his polo and slacks, readying for work.
He glanced up and down, smiling. Noelle awkwardly stood there, unsure if she's good enough to stay beside Blake.
"You look pretty, Noelle," Blake complimented. She gaped silently.
It is such a good compliment to hold on for the rest of the day.
"For a virgin woman like you, men will swarm around. Make sure to choose the one you like upon giving that up. Today is an assembly, but I will not introduce you yet. We have to go to the training center," Blake discussed.
Noelle nodded, unsure of what he's talking about.
"There's a training center for porn stars?" Noelle blinked several times. What a magnificent knowledge to find out.
"Of course, how can you entertain well if you're not good at sex?" Blake shrugged.
Noelle felt hurt about that. She's entirely pure, not even close to Blake's experience.
"If you're good to go, we need to head out. Training center starts at 9 am."
…
Noelle rested her purse in her lap, sighing.
"How many women clothes do you have in your closet?" she asked.
"Several of them," Blake answered simply.
"Am I one of the women you bring over to recruit?"
Blake stopped at the red light, and glimpsed at her.
"Yes," he confessed. Noelle dropped her jaw. Her mind circled around his help, but she's not only the one. There's many women in A&E he recruited, and earn some money being a porn star.
"So you helped them, too, like what you did to me?" There's a hint of abhorrence in her tone.
"Not that one. They never had any problem like yours. They just wanted some easy money. Unlike you, you badly needed it," Blake remarked.
Noelle didn't answer and took a moment to indulge. A month ago, she's swarmed with orders at a restaurant. Along with that, she had to wash the dishes repeatedly. Noelle barely had any time to herself, but she always whispered it is fine.
Her money will go to somewhere good. Her mother will be fine after she give her salary.
"Am I going to work longer than the hours I work at a convenience store?"
"No. You can work 2 hours a day and your salary won't be affected."
She gushed, covering her mouth. Noelle isn't informed by that.
"You're right with what you're thinking, Noelle. That's why I invited you over."
…
A&E, Aphrodite and Eros, a big company named after a clothing line…
Outside, the interior was of the largest distributor of clothing line to the country. Noelle stood flabbergasted outside the doors, confused about Blake's direction. Did they come down right?
Blake adjusted his sling bag, motioned for him to come to the door, "Let's go."
Noelle reached out to his wrist, asking, "Did we come here right? This doesn't look like the…"
Blake shushed. Are they running illegally?
"What…" Blake reached out to her wrist and dragged her to the doors. Noelle let him be, but there's a question bugging inside her mind. Why did he have to hide, when their company was all about porn stars, and that they're running legally?
As soon as Blake came inside, someone greeted him a good morning. Noelle felt shy, turning down, following Blake like a dog. A&E was already jammed with people. The clothing line stood in front and everyone shopped around.
Reaching the elevators, Blake headed to the other one, who only had an option down. Getting puzzled, Noelle creased her forehead, started to ask, but got blocked off by Blake's sudden movement. He's holding her wrist tightly.
Noelle doesn't want to cause a scene. Plus, they knew each other.
Blake turned to the buttons and pressed the basement. Noelle widened her eyes.
They were the only ones in the elevator. When the doors closed, she wriggled out of his touch.
Blake turned to her sharply, but Noelle deflected, "Where are you going to take me? You said that A&E is a world of…"
Blake covered her mouth, and rapidly pinned her to the wall. The elevators opened, some women in various dresses came in, and ignored them. Blake was still holding her mouth, and Noelle has gone furious.
What does he think he's doing?
The women at their sides giggled. They have the same destination.
Noelle glared at him. This is not good.
When the doors opened, all the women came out first. Noelle pushed Blake hard off of her, and stormed out of the car. As she stepped out, Noelle must have gone to another dimension. The lights were blinding, and a lot of people rushed by.
Cameras situated at the corners, lights bound to the ceiling, and a lot of gorgeous men and women walking past by. Their perfumes lingered in her nose, and she wagged her hands in front. Blake straightened his polo and coat before coming outside.
"I'm…"
"What is this place? Why does it feel different from the front doors?"
Blake isn't lying. Noelle just got carried away with emotions.
"A&E is double doors. One door is for clothing, the other one is for porn."
Several doors lined up on each side. Noelle started to walk, looking around.
Blake followed through, stating, "This is the direction of where you will work. Before that, you have to slay in training, Noelle. Directors don't accept people without experience. They require 10 sexes to one man, but on different positions."
One man but 10 different sex positions… Noelle imagined the damage and soreness she's going to attain. She bit her bottom lip, clasping her hands together.
"Don't worry, I will be here as your mentor. Though I'm an actor, too, I'm not packed today. I let the directors give my projects to others. I will make sure to train you to be the best."
At the same time, Noelle got nervous. Getting that assurance is the best.
"Let's go to the training center."
…
Inside the room, there were 5 women sitting in the room. She is the sixth.
Blake was gone to summon the other mentor. Sitting down beside a short-haired woman, Noelle found it awkward. The room was cold and silent, no words coming out of their mouths.
The short-haired woman turned to Noelle, a faint recognition showed in her eyebrows.
"Noelle?"
Gazing at her, she recognized the woman quickly.
"Monica?"
They both smiled at each other. It's her batch mate in college. Since they graduated, Noelle has no news about her. They're not that close, but she liked Monica.
"You are going to train, too?"
"Ah yes, I'm…"
In their faces, an embarrassment was drawn. But being a porn star can make their one day a survival.
"You don't need to continue. We're all here in the same purpose. In fact, I entered here not a virgin anymore," Monica voiced out. Noelle felt shy. She shouldn't be included here, supposedly. Monica touched her shoulder.
When the doors opened, Noelle glanced at Blake. He has a company: a gorgeous woman who looked like a model. Slender hips, long legs, and smooth skin, along with her curvy waves, she's an epitome of goddess.
Blake accompanied her to the table, glancing at the new trainees, and she smirked, impressed, "You are good at recruiting. I'm impressed by your skills now."
Even her voice was angelic. Noelle felt disregarded with her look.
"These are the ladies that I recruited and I have to admit they have a hidden skill they can manifest through the training, Ms. Lia. I'm sure you're going to be the best mentor at the end of the year."
Noelle has no idea that porn stars needed to get trained, too. She belittled Blake's job.
"Make sure they get wet after one touch. If not, they'll get rejected."
Lia sat down, checking the details of the candidates.
"Oh, Blake, for sure you will book some men for the 6 of them, but I want you to take Noelle."
Blake turned to Noelle, giving her a wink.
"She's a virgin, the only one in this room. It's going to be hard to deal with a virgin."
Lia crossed her arms. Blake assured, "I am certain that Noelle will be the best. Don't worry about that, Ms. Lia."
