Chapter 32

After meeting Dottie, Robbie went back to Cynthia’s, sorted out his stuff and then went upstairs. When Yvonne let him in he dumped his suitcase on the floor and pulled the bundle of notes from his pocket. Yvonne’s eyes bulged as though on stalks. She probably hadn’t seen so much money before and watched in awe as he peeled off five one-pound notes.

‘There you go, Yvonne. Treat yourself to something to wear that’s a bit more grown-up and sexy.’

‘What! Spend all this on clothes?’

‘Yes, of course. You just stick with me. There’ll be plenty more where that came from,’ Robbie said, winking at her.

‘Thank … thank you, Robbie,’ she gushed.

It irked Robbie to give Yvonne his money but she’d be earning her keep soon enough, and in the meantime he had to gain her confidence. She looked delighted with the cash and Robbie grinned to himself, pleased with what he saw. The bit of make-up she was wearing made her look a little older, and the dark mascara enhanced her green eyes, which were now rather striking. She’s quite a looker, he thought, albeit a bit on the dim side. Robbie walked across the room and sat on the edge of the bed. ‘Come and sit next to me,’ he coaxed.

The girl looked nervous, but did as he asked and as she sat down he said, ‘Don’t worry, sweetheart, I don’t bite.’

‘Dogs bite. You’re not a dog.’

‘No, you’re right,’ Robbie said softly as he gently brushed her brown hair from her cheek. ‘So do you want to be my girl?’

Yvonne kept her eyes lowered but nodded her head.

‘Good. You just do as I tell you, and everything will be fine. I’ll treat you like a princess and you’ll have more money than you’ve ever dreamed of. You trust me, don’t you?’

Yvonne nodded her head again.

‘Have you ever been with a man before?’ Robbie asked.

Yvonne quickly shook her head this time.

‘Well, don’t worry. It only hurts a bit the first time, then you’ll like it after that.’

‘But my mum said to wait ’til I get married,’ Yvonne said anxiously.

Robbie contrived laughter. ‘That’s a bit old-fashioned and you’d better stop being so naïve if you want to be my girl. Everyone’s doing it these days,’ he lied. ‘The trick is not to get caught out, you know, up the duff.’

‘The duff? What’s the duff?’

Robbie heaved a sigh. The girl didn’t seem to have a clue. ‘Yvonne, do you know how women get pregnant?’

‘Yeah, a man puts his thingy in the woman. My sister told me about it but said only a husband can do it to his wife. I … I don’t know what a thingy is though,’ Yvonne said, her cheeks flushed.

Robbie found her innocence suddenly quite sweet. ‘Your sister was right about some of it, but not all of it. The thing is, if you want to be my girl and earn lots of money, you’re going to have to get used to doing it with men. But you
