Michael's POV

It's been a week since Leanne came to live with me and so far everything has been going good. She isn't as nervous as She was at first. after a few days she started to become more relaxed and today we're going to be seeing my parents and I'm really hoping everything goes ok.

Joesph told my mother and sisters that I adopted Leanne which kind of makes us both a little uncomfortable having to go along with it considering our situation, but it was either that or tell my mother the truth which is the last thing I want to do.

We're sat in the kitchen eating breakfast and talking and Leanne suddenly goes quiet for a more moment. "What if your mom or sisters don't believe the story?"

"Why wouldn't they? I have those custody papers to back it up" I reassure her. "Your dad and brothers know though" she mumbles looking at the ground looking ashamed and I lift her chin up to face me. "You've done nothing wrong. You know do that right?" I say softly and she doesn't answer. "They won't say anything, I promise" I smile at her through pursed lips and she slightly smiles back.

There's a moments silence between us and we stay in the same position and as I'm staring into her beautiful blue eyes, I'm desperately fighting the urge to lean closer and kiss her and I can see she's feeling it too.

"We um... we should probably start getting ready" I mutter breaking away slightly  "umm.. yeah" she mutters back and gets up to leave and I take her hand gently. "Everything's gonna be ok" I smile reassuringly and kiss her temple and pull her close to me.

Joesph's POV

"I was thinking of making chicken for lunch. Does Leanne eat chicken?" Kathrine asks, still fussing around. "I think so" I shrug "what do you mean you think so? Did Michael not tell you? What about allergies?"

"I never asked"

"what do you mean you didn't ask? How am I supposed to know what to cook if you didn't ask?"

"I'm sure whatever you make is fine" I roll my eyes "not if she's a vegetarian or has allergies! How's that going to look if I give her a dead animal and poison for lunch! I'll call and ask him" she says going over to the phone. "Kathrine it's fine. If there was certain foods she couldn't eat then Michael would have said" I point out. She's about to speak when there's a knock at the door. "That'll be them" she says smoothing down her dress and fluffs the cushions. Then check her appearance. "Is all this necessary? Leanne's 16 and is coming for lunch, not to critiq our house and your apearnces" I roll my eyes. "Well we can't have her think we live in filth!"

"But we can leave her hungry and waiting outside?" I chuckle and she gasps realising she hasn't answered the door yet and quickly rushes over.

"Hi. I'm Kathrine an this is Joesph" she smiles shaking her hand as Leanne and Michael walk in. "Hello" Leanne mumbles timidly and stays close to Michael.

Lisa's POV

"Please?" I plead with Emma. "Nope" she shakes her head uninterested. "But, that guy really gives me the creeps and..."

"Not my problem" she cuts me off. "Lisa, it doesn't work that way here. How many times? You can't just pick an choose your clients. They choose you. You've been here a week now and.."

"Held captive for a week" I mumble "anyway.. you've been here a week now and you should be used to it by now" she shrugs. "Used to it!? I'm being held prisoner and forced to fuck men for money! How can I ever get used to it?" I snap at how uncaring and heartless these bitches here are.

"Leanne got used to it... eventually" Emma shrugs. "What the fuck is it about that bitch,  that everybody seems to think the Sun shines out of her ass. She was nothing but a slut that stole the man I was supossed to be with and everybody's walking around here like she's died or something!?" I snap.

"first off. people here actually liked Leanne and even though she's away from this place, we still miss her and second! If Michael was the man you were supposed to be with then why did he pay a million dollars to have Leanne and not you?" She smirks folding her arms. "He what?" I frown confused. "That's right. Michael knew your here just like he knew Leanne was and he paid Mary one million dollars to have her all to himself and you... he didn't give a fuck about you" she chuckles. "That's not true" I shake my head. "If Michael knew what was going on an what I'm being forced to do then he would..."

"He does know" she cuts me off again. "Are you really that delouisnal? You walk around here like your better than everybody else when your not! Your nothing but a piece of meat for the clients to fuck and nothing more and you need to realise that nobody's coming to help you. Not Michael, not anybody" she says coldly. "Yes he will. If you would just pass a message to him he will. Why won't you help me?" I croak getting upset again. "You know Mary won't let me out of the house, but she lets you and..."

"I did see Michael" she cuts me off "you did!? What did he say!?" I asks hopefully. "He didn't saying anything... not about you any way. He was more interested in taking care of Leanne and taking her home with him. He didn't even ask about you... he doesn't care about you" she shrugs "that's not true! Your lying" I sob and start crying. "I'm gonna leave now... I'm getting bored with you" she sighs and walks out of the room, leaving me crying on the bed.

Michael's POV

"She doesn't say much does she?" Janet whispers as I'm getting something for Leanne and I to drink. "She's just a little shy is all" I shrug. "Shy? She only speaks when spoken to and moves when you tell her to" she says looking over at Leanne who's sat quietly waiting for me on the sofa. "She's been through alot lately and she's just a little timid is all"

"She seemed more lively at the event. Why didn't you tell us you were adopting her? I feel kinda bad now for thinking she was your date and joking about you and her..."

"It's fine" I cut her off "and like I said a lots happened since then"

"Like what? " She asks curiously "just stuff. But don't ask her about it. It's not a nice story and it's really difficult for her to talk about"

"Is that why the adoption thing was so rushed?" She mutters an I nod. "Could you do me a favour and sit with her for a moment? It might help her feel more comfortable having a girl to talk to" I ask "of course, but umm... what am I supossed to say? She barley speaks"

"Just talk to her like you would anybody else. It might help her feel a little more relaxed. She doesn't have any female friends to talk to"

"Of course" she smiles taking the two drinks from me and goes over to Leanne. She's been really nervous about meeting everybody and doesn't really know what to say to anybody, but I know if Janet talks to her it'll make her feel more calm.

As I'm watching I smile to myself seeing the two of them talking. She's only been talking to her for a minute, but Janet already has her smiling and laughing Just like I knew she would and I can see the two of them becoming good friends.

"Everything ok?" Randy asks coming over and I nod and smile through pursed lips. "Them two seem to be getting along" he smiles looking over at Leanne and Janet "yeah, it'll be nice for her to have a friend like Janet" I smile through pursed lips. "What's wrong?" He asks sensing something and I shake my head "nothing"

"Come with me" he says, leading the two of us upstairs. "Are thing's not going well?" He asks closing the door and comes over and sits beside me on the edge of the bed. "Everything's going great. Leanne's really settling in and we have a good time living together" I smile "but?" he raises an eyebrow "your gonna think I'm sick" I sigh heavily and he looks at me confused and I take a deep breath and sigh. "I'm still attracted to her" I mumble "that's it?" He shrugs "She's 16 I shouldn't be thinking of her like that, but I can't help it. When I look at her I just wanna kiss her and..." I sigh heavily looking at the ground "I sound fucked up don't I?"

"Not really" he shrugs and I look at him confused "Mike, you've had sex with the girl... many times and you even dated her. Of course your attracted to her"

"But I shouldn't be. Not now I know how old she is"

"Are you and her still...You know?" He asks and I shake my head. "We share a bed, but we don't do anything. Just sleep, but I told her i'd wait for her until she's 18 and she said she'd wait for me too" I confess "so in away your still kind of dating"

"No, it's not like that" I shake my head. "I want her to be a kid and have what's left Of her childhood and I wanna take care of her, but then I start thinking about her... like that. And I try not to but..."

"Mike, you can't go from being somebody's lover to being a parent role. It just doesn't work that way"

"So what am I suppose to do? I wanna be with her an I know she wants to be with me too, but if I do then I'm just being selfish and taking away the rest of her childhood"

"So you both wanna be together. there's nothing wrong with that and just because you think about each other in that way doesn't mean you both have to act on it. Plus she's 16 and it's not like nothing's ever happened between you both before... many times"

"So what should I do?"

"Do what you just told me you were gonna do... wait for each other. I know two years sounds like alot now. But in those two years you have the chance to get to know each other intimately, but without the actual act. If you two are meant to be together then it'll be worth the wait" he smiles reassuringly. "Where did all that come from?" I frown confused by the way he's talking. "I'm um... I watch Oprah alot" he mumbles. "But you better not say anything or..."

"Don't worry. Your secrets safe with me" I chuckle and we both head back down stairs.

"Everything ok?" I smile going over to the Leanne and Janet "mhm" Leanne smiles "we were just talking about maybe going to the movie's one night" Janet cuts in "would that be ok?" Leanne asks turning to me. "Of course. You don't have to ask me if you wanna go out" I smile at her and she smiles back.

Lisa's POV

After my final 'client' of the day, I'm sitting in my room counting all the tips I got and I'm actually surprised by how much is there.

"Someone seems more cheerful" Emma says walking into my room. "I was just counting my tips. I can't believe how much I made and that's just from today!" I widen my eyes still surprised. "See? It's not all bad here" she shrugs "I guess there are some good points" I mumble feeling embarrassed admitting it. "There's nothing to be ashamed of" Emma says walking over to me. "We earn more in a DAY than some people earn in a month and all we have to do is lay on our back" she chuckles slightly. "For sleazy perverts" I mutter. "You just have to try and block that part out" she shrugs "how?"

"It's hard at first, but I have some great tips" she smiles and sits beside me on the bed.

Leanne's POV

"So... what do you think of everybody?" Michael asks when we're driving home. "They we're all really nice. I really liked Janet"

"You do?" He smiles and I nod smiling back "I had a feeling you two would get along" he smiles.

I was really nervous about speaking to Michael's family this morning, but they all seemed really nice and welcoming and lucky they didn't ask me too many questions, which was what I was really worried about.

It's really late when we get back and we're both pretty tired so as soon as we get home we both make our way up to bed.

I put on some PJs and get into bed and I can't help but glance over at Michael as he's getting undressed. Michael doesn't wear PJs and prefers to sleep in just his boxers and as he's changing I can't help but stare at the huge bulge through his boxers and that's when he not even hard! my mind starts to wonder thinking about how good Michael feels inside of me and what an amazing lover he is.

"Stop looking at it" Michael smirks getting into bed. "I- I wasn't. I was just..."

"Yes you were" he chuckles slightly under his breath an puts the sheet over us and wraps his arms around me. "Goodnight" he whipsers and kisses my temple and I say goodnight back and rest my head on his chest and soon fall asleep in his arms.
