Melony was expecting a pretty wide range of responses to her confession.  Being laughed at wasn't really one of them though.  She looked at her girlfriend with a stoic face, leaning forward on her elbows.<br/><br/>"No, no, Adrianna, I'm.. I'm serious." She said slowly.  "It's what I do for a living.  And I love it... and I'm not willing to give that up.  So if we are going to become... serious, then I need you to be okay with that."  She said with a tone of commanding finality.  She would not budge on this point for anyone, not even with how much she cared for Adriana.<br/><br/>"How much I charge varies pretty wildly.  It depends on what someone wants and how long it'll take."  She said, not quite ready to go into the nitty gritty, not here in public.  "But starting rate is a hundred and thirty an hour."<br/><br/>She asked hesitantly, still not sure how Adrianna would feel after it sank in, "Did you have any other questions?"
