- Belle goes to a hotel room to have sex with Ash, who was her first ever client and for whom she has a soft spot. However Ash falls asleep, which allows Belle time to go downstairs and pick up another punter for a session in his room before returning in the early hours to Ash, who is blissfully unaware of what has happened.—don @ minifie-1
- Hannah visits a sex shop to stock up. She puts on her best red heels and flags a black cab, her transport of choice. She says everything in her bag of goodies is important, but, flashing her little silver watch, time is more important. A lot can happen on an all-nighter.
She tells us that the current trend is the girlfriend service, and how she, who is no good at relationships in real life, could be the perfect girlfriend for one evening. Not the moody kind a guy has to figure out, but the absolute dream date. Fulfilling the need to be held, she reckons. Whereupon she meets her first john ever, a regular now, a sweet man she is clearly fond of, bringing him a Phillip Roth novel. Ash, her perfect regular. They compliment each other on their looks. He's married, but his wife hasn't had sex with him for five years. So she supposes they're both breaking the marriage contract.
They go upstairs to order room service. She gets paid her 1,500 pounds and he gets some of his money's worth.
Now what to do with the rest of the evening?
She casually stretches out her long legs over his bare back as he orders a bottle of South African wine from room service. He complains about work. For the viewer's benefit, she lays out the three rules of escort conversation: keep it light, no politics, no inflammatory topics (like wife questions, or anything too intimate).
They go another round because, hey, he paid for a full night.
He sleeps. She reads. She never actually sleeps with clients. She fidgets about, does all kinds of exercises, even tries a headstand. The night is long...
Boredom persists, and she goes to make a call in the bathroom. Ben's playing video games. His woman distracts him with nakedness, he gets off the phone. Belle has no one to entertain her.
She gets dressed, leaves the client a note saying she'll be right back. Just going out to buy cigarettes. She hangs out with the night desk man, guessing at guests' relationships to each other. She is good at the game, even susses out a tranny..
At the bar, she drinks a beer. A man joins her, chancing to ask if he knows her. "I'm quite well known in certain circles."
He propositions her. She decides to take him on. Normally the agency vets the clients, but on this spur of the moment, she checks him out herself. He is confident, well-heeled, clearly a man of means, and she figures he'll be quick and takes him on. She asks the desk man, who is surprised to find out that she is on the game, to help out using the baby-monitoring to listen in on client no. 1, and tells him where to find her in case she's needed. Sensing the camera's judging gaze she says, "What? I've always been a bit of a tart."
Up in the room, he orders her to strip, piece by piece, savoring it. They begin. He has remarkable stamina, accrediting it to being a seasoned marathon runner. He could just go on for hours. Last thing she wants right now. She's a bit worried about returning to her original client. But client No. 2 keeps going. Until she gets resourceful, using an intimate move most men will deny wanting, but usually seem to like.
She makes it back to Client No. 1's room in time to shower before he wakes up. She tosses the note. He'll never know. They finish his evening properly and say good-bye in the lobby right next to Client No. 2. But he doesn't see her. She gives the night desk man an envelope for his role in the freelance.
She hops in her cab. "Even the girlfriend experience is like me as a real girlfriend: it starts out all exciting and passionate. Then I get bored, sleep with someone else, and leave."
She reveals that, like everybody else on the night shift, she thinks about the money.
