Everything's Coming Together Or is It? A Miami Rp # 13

(stupid keyboard, theres a stupid button that turns all the letters to numbers and its in the most annoying place- said it out loud- was what it was supposed to say)

"But it doesn't have to be" Eric pleaded, looking at her desperately. "I don't know what i'd do if anything happened to you. It's not safe" He bit his lip gently, hating the feeling talking about her job gave him.
 
Lilly sighed, "What are you afraid of Eric?" she asked "Are you afraid that one of the guys are going to turn against me? That I'm going to get a disease? What?" she asked, coming off a little strong.
 
Eric ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "I know you're not used to having anyone care about you but I do ok? I care about you. And yes I'm scared that i guy will hurt you, I scared that you'll get yourself into trouble. I'm scared ok? Because I care damn it!" He said, a little louder and more forceful than he had meant to.
 
Lilly jumped slightly and took her hand away, "I know that you care, Eric." she started. "And your right, i'm not used to people caring about me. But I am a big girl. I can take care of myself." she said lightly. "And you know your job isn't exactly the easiet either. Are you willing to give up your job?" she asked seriously.
 
Eric shook his head. "My jobs different Lilly. I don't sleep with people for money!" His eyes widened as soon as he said it. He blushed and reached for her hand again. "Baby I didn't mean it like that. You've just got me worried that's all. In my job I see thousands of girls who think they can hadle themselves and they end up in morgue" His voice cracked slightly and he looked away from her. "I don't know what i'd do if that happened to you" He said quietly.
 
Lilly kept her hand out of reach and shook her head, "Eric." she started. Not really knowing how to say what she wanted. "Everybody dies. Some sooner then others. You know that." she started. "And I'm not going to give up my job because one guy thinks its dangerous. I know you care and I appreciate that. I do." she said. "But I'm good at it." she said honestly.
 
Eric laughed a little. "Yes you are but that's beyond the point. Sleeping with guys isn't a job. You deserve better than to be treated like some kind of cheap whore. You're better than that. I bet when you were a kid you didn't see yourself growing up to be a hooker?" He said, looking up at her with a pleading look in his eyes.
 
Lilly sighed and took a sip of her water, "Your right I didn't." she said softly. She saw the pleading look in his eyes, but she couldn't just give it up that easily.
 
"So what then? What did you dream of being as a little girl?" Eric asked softly, leaning back against his chair and watching every move she made.
 
Lilly sighed and played with her napkin, "I wanted to be a photographer." she said softly. "I was constantly taking pictures as a little kid." she said sheepishly.
 
"It's not too late" Eric said quietly, trying again to reach for her hand. "You could go back to college, make something of yourself. You can't just settle for closing your eyes and letting some guy you don't even know do something only someone who really cared should do to you" He was getting desperate now, it was breaking his heart to think of her like that.
 
Lilly sighed heavily and let him take her hand, "Its not that easy though, Eric." she started. "I've been doing this for....a long time. Its not that easy to just let it go."
 
Eric sighed. "I understand that baby but if you can't do it for yourself then do it for me. I love you damn it, against all logic in my mind I fell in love with you and it tears me up to think of you...like..like that" He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, squeezing her hand a little.
 
Lilly sighed again and looked away. She understood Eric's point of view but it wasn't going to be easy. Leaving the business would create more enemies then staying would. She looked back up at Eric and then nodded, "Ok. I'll quit."
 
Eric couldn't help but smile. Not caring who saw, he leant across the table and kissed her gently. "Thank you baby" he said, smiling again. "I'm going to look after you from now on, you're never going to have to feel like that again, I swear"
