Secured Sevenfold

Brian’s POV
“Well, go ahead I am all yours.” Zack smirked and I rolled my eyes at him.
“No, I didn’t want the exchange, alright.. I told Matt that much, but fuck.. I didn’t tell him why. I mean…” I searched for the right words, but I could see in Zack’s eyes that I wouldn’t really need them, he knew exactly what I was trying to say, so I let my head hang down.
“You slept with her.” He said matter of fact and I let my face snap up.
“Yes, fucking hell I did.”
“Shit, Brian. That is sooo of limits. Matt will have your freaking balls for it. And I mean it, he should never ever know. I can’t believe it, Brian, what you did was breaking rule no. 1, no sexual contact with any client, no feelings, no nothing”
“I know. Don’t you think I know, that’s why I didn’t want the exchange, if she told anyone that she and I that we… I mean… she could let it slip so easily and I would be freaking screwed.”
“More than once.” Zack remarked with a chuckle and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was worth it, couldn’t be… with the things Matt would put me through if he found out, but well…
“How was it?” Zack asked me.
“Which time?” I smirked back at my best friend and I saw Zack swallowing thickly.
“More than once you asshole?” Zack asked astonished.
“Fuck, all freaking night long. And Zack.. shit, it had been…” I was again searching for words, for sex…?!
“So good? I assume?” Zack asked me and I nodded and shook my head afterwards. I better tell him everything now.
“She had made me so freaking hot all day, I couldn’t keep my hands of her in the end and it had been more than just good, Zack.”
“Then we definitely have to exchange the clients.” He told me with a smirk and my laugh died on my lips.
“No way.” I noticed my voice sounded serious now, and if I would notice, Zack would too and I saw him lift his eyebrow “You are not having feelings, are you?”
“What? No.. I just… we… Did you know when Matt called me he had Josephine on the other line?” I tried to get to another topic quick, before I would tell Zack things, now, in the heat of the moment, that I would regret later. Lucky for me, Zack let me change the subject for now, but I knew this was far from over.
“Why?” Zack asked curious.
“He was telling me the exchange was off, and then Josephine was calling him, and he was freaking listening to her, I mean.. big boss was intimidated by your little princess. It had been freaking priceless, wished you heard that one… I had a good laugh.” I said and chuckled.
“Damn yeah, I wished to have heard that one too, so Josephine is the reason for the back tracking, huh?” Zack mused “Maybe I can find out more about the reason for that, I mean, she was acting real weird this morning. Maybe the Matt thing has something to do with it” Zack was murmuring, he seemed lost in thoughts.
“Yeah, guess so.. maybe she can wrap our boss around her finger.”
“Like Jacky does with you?” Zack smirked and I narrowed my eyes, so we were back on that topic again, huh? “It was just sex… hot and amazing, but just sex. I talked to her, it won’t happen again.”
“And she agreed?” Zack asked a little surprised.
“She wanted to change the bodyguard, asked questions about you.” I said grudgingly, feeling this slight ping in my stomach. The ping I really, really didn’t like.
“Ahhh, this is getting better, send her some greetings from me, I would love to make a change.” Zack laughed.
“Fuck off, I need to go now… this stays between us.”
“No worries your secret is safe with me.” Zack said with a nod as he turned off the program.

I knew what I did was wrong and I surely didn’t need any confirmation in that, but it was a good thing to talk about it with Zack. He was my best friend, maybe even more than the others and he could read me like the back of his hand. It would be good to know he had my back when I needed it. I closed my laptop and put it on the ground next to the bed and laid back.

This night with Jacky could be a problem, me fighting with her could be a problem too, I didn’t even tell Zack about the fight, one problem at the time. I threw my head back in the pillow and cursed. How could I have gotten into this mess this quickly, this would be a hell of a job to do right, I just hoped she could forgive me for this morning and we could just be around each other as two adults, no hard feelings. Maybe I should talk to her…

I got fully dressed and walked over to her room, knocking softly
“Jacky? Can I come in?”
Nothing… she must be really, really pissed
“Jacky? Come on, I want to apologize”
Still nothing. I put my ear to the door and listened, she was real quiet, couldn’t hear any sounds coming out of the room. She wouldn’t… right?
A fist clenched around my heart as I opened the door to the empty room.
“FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!” I turned around and walked around the apartment, calling her name, but I knew I wouldn’t find her here, my gut feeling said she was long gone. Her phone and keys being gone were the proof of that.
“SHIT!” Now I was really in deep shit.

Matt’s POV
I was really having a bad feeling about something, but I couldn’t put a name on it. I glanced at my phone thinking that maybe I should call Zack again.
I knew he was pissed that I didn’t give him a good enough reason why the exchange was off again.
But on the other hand, how could I tell him that Josephine had changed her mind and wanted to stay with him.
Why was she having this mood changes concerning the bodyguard thing?
I couldn’t believe that she was having such a hard time with Zack, so what was really going on there?
I would give them another day to see how it worked out between them.

But I didn’t receive an update call from Brian today and he was getting overdue again, so I took it into my own hands.
I dialed his number waiting for him to pick up and again it took him a while.
“Hey Matt.” I heard Brian’s voice and he sounded a little out of breathe.
“Hey man, where is my update call? I told you I won’t tolerate that. Tell me what’s going on.” I asked and leaned back in my chair.
“Yeah, I wanted to call you but later, I mean… I am on my way right now.. in the city, so if we lose connection, don’t worry. We were.. hm.. just shopping getting some food. Not much new from my side. Why did you hear anything? Is something up? What’s going on with the Josephine problem? Did you have another talk with Zack, does he have trouble?” I heard a car door slam shut, an engine start.
He was apparently driving again, since he was in the city, I didn’t reply to any of his questions.
Something was going on, I knew it.
“So, didn’t hear of him huh?! I talked to him today, he was not so happy about the not exchange, but you know… Zacky should learn how to deal with certain things. Don’t you think?”
I heard Brian running around, he was breathing even heavier and another door slammed shut. He cursed a little and I was certain now that he was having trouble, let’s see how far he was getting in not telling me.
“Brian?” I asked and waited for his reply.
“Yeah, sorry… Have you been to this restaurant in the Dawons Ave. nice food there, I can tell you. I tried it already, was really good, I know you like spicy food, you should give it a try. And well what else is going on, something up with Christ and Arin… Oh see this reminds me… I have to talk to Arin, gave him some guy to make a back-up check for me, did he tell you anything about it? Maybe you can hand the phone over, is he at the mansion? No? Well, maybe I can talk to him later, doesn’t matter.” I rolled my eyes at Brian’s stupid behavior while I already knew what happened, but he tried to not tell me.
“Brian?” I tried again.
“Yeah?”
“Where is she?”
“Who?” Brian tried to sound surprised but he must have noticed that I wasn’t into jokes right now.
“Jacky, where is Jacky?” I asked and he cursed loudly.
“Fuck, I have no clue, I am searching for her all day long. We had a small argument and now I lost her, I have been all over town, fuck…”
“FUCKING HELL BRIAN! She is in danger, find her!” I yelled into the phone and Brian cursed loudly again.
“I FUCKING KNOW! I AM TRYING… I just got back to her apartment, getting some equipment and searching for a hint where she could have gone, then I find her. I WILL FIND HER!”
I heard a door open and I could hear through Brian’s voice he was angry and concerned, I paced my office and waited, didn’t really know what to do, should I get on my way to help him find her.
“What the fuck?” I heard Brian whisper.
“What? What happened?” I asked quickly waited for a reply.
“Found her, she is safe.” He hung up before saying anything else and I nearly threw the phone to the wall, damn it.
I would let this slip, but Brian should better keep a track on her, because I won’t let that happen again!

Brian’s POV
I had been all over town, I called her a million times, and now she was just sitting here on her couch, wearing yoga pants, flipping through some magazine? She looked up at me and smiled
“Hey Brian, how are you? You look a little stressed?”
“WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN!?” I couldn’t help but start yelling at her right away, the stress of losing her, the fear of something happening to her… it all came out in that one sentence.
“Just around, had to do a few things, don’t be so upset, no harm done” She was calm and friendly, while I was just hoping for her to scream back at me, so I could go all out on her, but no such luck.
She was almost too calm, too relaxed and I looked at her again
“Where have you been? You’ve been away for 5 fucking hours! Why did you sneak out without telling me that you wanted to go out? You know I have to come with you! I can’t keep you safe if you are running from me!”
“I didn’t go far and I was safe, I’m back here, aren’t I? And did you think about the fact that I might not want your company everywhere I go?”
That explanation could only mean one thing, she really didn’t think I was stupid, right? There was only one place she could have gone.

“You went to see that guy, didn’t you!? That Dean guy? Didn’t I satisfy you enough that you have to find another guy right away?” My blood was boiling and I could barely control my anger.
“WELL?! I deserve answers here!”
She calmly stood up, threw the magazine on the salon table and walked over to me, standing still right in front of me. She looked at me straight, no fear, no embarrassment, nothing.
“I wasn’t, but let’s say I was with Dean, for the sake of discussion… Why would you care? You told me what happened between us was a mistake and wouldn’t happen again, well, I have needs too, so I will find someone else”
With that she moved away from me and headed for her room, closing the door in front of me.
Way to get yourself into trouble, Haner!
