The Other Woman

Well, where do I start from? The beginning or the end? The beginning it is. You see, I come from your typical American middle class family. Things were not so bad. I attended private schools until time for University. I grew up in LA county specifically Inglewood in South Bay. I attended a private school, had a home tutor, got private lessons. We weren't poor but we also weren't rich. My troubles began when I graduated from high school. My High School friends got admitted into Ivy league schools and I didn't. Don't get me wrong, I still have Stanford Admission letter in my inbox my mom just didn't have enough money to send me there. My home is a single Parenthood home. My mom has always been there despite when my dad left when I was eight years old. They aren't divorced, we just don't know where he is. When college applications started my mom ensured I put NYU into my applications, it was our Plan B and as she fondly says "what's the use of a Plan B if you don't use it". We're using her plan B now, none of my friends knows that I'm going to NYU they all think I accepted Standford Admission, that's shitty. Yes, Yes, Yes I know but what can I do? I know you're thinking about me signing up for scholarships but I'm an average student. My grades are good but nowhere near scholarship acceptance level. I did all things a college student as we were still financially sound until my third year. When I got that dreadful call that my mom is dead. What happened? How did she die? I do not know. Autopsy said it's "natural events" the funeral was quick and fast. For the very first time I was happy that I accepted NYU instead of Stanford because how will I raise the fees? I applied to the scholarship board at NYU, my GP is good so I got a 50% off and I had to pay the rest of about $15000. I made new friends at NYU and I forgot about my highschool friends, we still talk once in a while and there's no hard feelings. I have thought about how to raise the money to complete my tuition, should I open a GoFundMe account? Should I open an onlyfans page? What exactly can I do? Should I start a business? But businesses require money and time that I do not have. Recently, my ** feed has been full with Sugarbabies and honestly I want to give it a try. I mean $15000 is small money for a sugar daddy right? So I decided to sign up on bumble, none of my friends knew about this plan or my difficulty with not being able to pay my fees. Forgive me, I hate pity parties. I know I'm beautiful and definitely far above average beauty. I'm red hair, have a full lips, have cat eyes and the perfect nose with an hourglass body, what more can I ask for? Just little freckles on my nose but nothing to obstruct my natural beauty. I filled my details on the app and began swiping. As expected I see tons of people promising heaven and Earth to young women but I keep swiping till one profile caught me attention. His name is Frank, quite simple if you ask me his bio says "Looking for fun". Well, o have loads of fun to give so I swipe right. "Hey Frank, I can give you all the fun you need" Cringey, yes I know but Men will be men. Didn't take Frank five minutes to reply "Oh you can?" This is a challenge and I'm known to never back down from one so instead of typing I sent a seductive picture making sure my cleavage and my very full lips painted red showed enough and as expected "when can we see?". I knew he was being forward and he wanted more so I waited him "I can send more but I need to get dinner and I'm so confused on what to buy". The thing with men is, they're not so smart when it involves s*x. Maybe, Frank was trying to prove himself as a gentleman when he said *Sweetheart,send the options I'll choose and pay also". I just knew at that point that I made the best decision by swiping right. So I scrolled through my gallery and looked for an expensive menu I dined at before and sent to him. Took him less than a minute he asked for my venmo and I received $2500 just for dinner. I sent $1500 straight to my savings and kept $1000 for upkeep. Sent him a thanking message and massaged his male ego properly. He asked for my mobile number and of course I obliged. He was like an answer to my prayers at that point. I got weekly upkeep of $2000 and since Frank is a busy man, he's rarely in town so s*x wasn't so frequent. I asked for my tuition fees and he paid everything in full the whole $30000 for the year. Extra money went straight to savings and to be honest life is good. I knew he met with other girls so I made sure to protect myself properly, I didn't mind because we weren't actually exclusive for me to care. As all relationships start, they also have an ending and ours ended lesser than a year and honestly I was beginning to get bored. I didn't mind that it ended soon, always remember to count your losses and move on. I cared for Frank and he has a special place in my heart but I feel that was for the best. Frank taught me lessons on investing in your career and putting yourself first before anyone else.
