Apartment 7E, (Mf, prost, intr) by this guy (thisguy.1066@gmail.com) Summary: A brilliant young white man meets a teenage girl who recently lost her parents. First he becomes her lover then he begins managing her family's business: the sale of sex... I've been a pimp for a while now. That's right; I help girls sell the use of their bodies to guys for sex. The image of the stereotypical pimp (a loud colored or patterned crushed velvet suit, wide brimmed hat with a feather in it, platform shoes or boots, one or more gold teeth, lots of gold jewelry, a large luxury brand sedan or SUV that has been the victim of so many aftermarket modifications that it is visible from ten miles away on a foggy night) is about as far from reality as the notion that politicians actually care about people who don't contribute to their campaigns. Perhaps it would be best if I begin by telling you a bit about me: who I am, what I look like, and the few things that make me unique. Let's start with the easy one: my name, Jim Collins. To the casual observer, I'm a fairly average twenty-some year old white guy. I generally wear normal clothes: jeans or slacks, or shorts if it is particularly warm; a t-shirt or shirt with a collar, with a sport coat or sweater when I'm at my day job; frequently casual shoes, sometimes sneakers, or if the weather is particularly warm sandals. The only piece of "jewelry" I wear is a fairly simple (antique) wind-up wrist-watch that I inherited from my great-grandfather. As you can see, I blend into the background of the general population. The thing that makes me unique as a pimp isn't me, as much as my operation. It all began when I met my wife. At the time she was seventeen, and had recently become an orphan: her parents had been killed by a drunk hit-and-run driver while crossing a street...locally it was pretty big news. Anyway she was a hot seventeen-year-old girl and I was wrapping up the second semester of my first year as a college professor...that's right, I'm an academic. It was a particularly unpleasant day: very windy and pouring. We literally walked into each other on the sidewalk a block from the main gate to the university campus; we both ended up on the ground in the same huge puddle of water. I stood, helped her to her feet and began apologizing profusely. She started saying that it was an accident and not to worry about it, then suddenly freaked out; explaining that she felt something moving in her hair. I informed her that my apartment was just around the corner and offered to let her use my shower to get whatever was in her hair out. She thanked mye and we ran the thirty yards to the door of my apartment building. In short order we were both in my apartment. I showed her to the bathroom and suggested that she toss her soaking wet clothes out the door, so I could toss them in a dryer. After less than a minute there was a pile of wet clothes on the floor outside the door to my bathroom. I stripped down and dried myself off with a towel from the kitchen and put on fresh clothes, before gathering up the soaking wet clothes both of us had been wearing and taking them to the laundry room at the end of the basement of the building. When I stepped back into my apartment, I was more than slightly surprised to see the girl standing in the living room. She had a towel wrapped around her body and was looking at the collection of books on the shelves next to the windows.
