Jacky’s POV
“Guys, I really need to go home. I have been partying straight for 48 hours. I need some rest.”
“Come on, Jacky. Are you getting old or something? You used to never leave a party before we were kicked out, how come you wanna leave now?” Samantha asked with a laugh.
“Because you haven’t been with me on the party yesterday!” I replied “It had been a-fucking-mazing but also way too long and I was way too drunk so now I need my beauty sleep if you want me to go out with you again soon...” I grinned and downed the last shot that still stood before me.
“Uhu, or is there something we don’t know that makes you go home so quickly? Some nice piece of man waiting for you?” Liza asked and winked at me.
“Nope, no piece of man waiting, but maybe I can pick one up on my wait out of this club.” I replied and smirked.
Didn’t plan to but you never knew…

“I know that smile, you plan to, right? Someone caught your eye already?” Liza grinned even wider and I let my eyes move around the club but didn’t find anyone attractive or appealing enough to further think about it.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket and looked at it, shit… after 6 in the morning already, had been way longer then I planned anyway…
“Alright girls, I call it a night.. or day. Have to get some sleep, we text and find the next location… how about tomorrow?” I asked and Samantha laughed loudly.
“Honey, the weekend is over, we have jobs to do… I know you don’t have to, but some people have and that means coming to work on time and don’t getting drunk in the week.”
I rolled my eyes “Why are you my friend again? I must have forgotten…” I grinned and she playfully hit my shoulder.
“Okay okay, so next weekend it is.” I said and I might need that little time off as well, but let’s see and wait if not another opportunity would arise, why not take it…
I got up from my bench and tried to stay steady on my feet, shouldn’t have downed that last shot, but why waste the good alcohol?!
I said my goodbyes to Liza and Samantha and knew they would stay and use the night to party when they could and use it to it’s extend.

I walked to the exit paid my debts for the night and frowned at the huge amount of money I spent, but was glad Daddy gave me a little ‘allowance’ this month… and the last…
“Jacky? Jacky wait!” I heard a familiar voice behind me and turned around with a smile.
“Dean, hey… you have been in the club as well?” I asked him and he hugged me towards him.
“Yeah, shit I didn’t see you inside. Haven’t seen you in a while, you are beautiful as ever!” He looked down on me and his eyes stopped at my cleavage for a moment longer before he met my eyes again.
Dean was my closest friend and we had a fling going on for a couple of months, we both weren’t searching for something steady so we helped each other out when needed…
“Can I join you on your way home?” Dean asked and maybe he hoped to get into my home as well, which he wouldn’t tonight but I wouldn’t tell him that right away.
“Yeah, sure.” I nodded and he laid his arm around my shoulders in a casual way, as we headed out.

Josephine’s POV
Some rummaging in my room woke me up out of my sleep. I let my hand wander over the bed, but I didn’t find what I was looking for. I carefully opened my eyes and let them get used to the light.
I looked at Julian, who was dressing himself “Where are you going?”, I asked him sleepy
“Oh, Josephine... Oh well...I didn’t want to wake you”
I looked at him wondering what he meant. Julian and I had been together for almost two years now and in all those years, he never been up before me. Never. Then something caught my eye, a bag, and Julian was throwing his stuff in. He was working systematically, getting everything of his as he went.

“What are you doing?” Suddenly I was wide awake and out of bed, my voice imperative.
“I’m breaking up with you, this isn’t working out” I didn’t know what to say, but I had learned to control my feelings, never let too much show anyways.
“Why?” I asked him calmly, sitting on the edge of the bed, my legs crossed, my back straightened.
“Why?” Julian asked with a smirk “There is no fun in this relationship Jose, no fun”
I cringed at the nickname. I hated when people shortened my name. The only one I let me call me Josy was my best friend Olivia.
Julian was still going on with his speech “...barely any emotion, you seem like a machine most of the time”
His eyes landed on me and I could see he was waiting for a reaction, but I needed to process what was happening first, I couldn’t...
“See! This is exactly what I was saying! I’m telling you I’m leaving you and you just sit there. Don’t you want to help me pack my bags? Make sure I don’t forget anything?” he taunted.
He threw the last things in his bag and walked out of the room, I got up and walked after him.
“Julian, wait...”
“No, it’s too late, I told you many times before I wasn’t happy. Why do you think I didn’t want to move in with you? You need to get a life, Jose, a real life, because you will die unhappy and alone if you keep doing this”

With those last few words Julian walked out of the apartment, never looking back. I got up and walked into my bedroom, taking of my pyjamas, better go to work if I was up this early. I went in the shower and put it as hot as possible. The minute I felt the water fall down on me, I allowed myself five minutes of crying, then I would have to let go and go back to my life.

Jacky’s POV
We arrived at Dean’s house and I knew he was about to ask me to come inside or follow me until my home. We were only living a few streets apart, so it always ended up like this. His place or mine.
I was tempted to say yes, because we always had been good together, between the sheets.
I looked at him and he was a handsome guy, tall and broad build, but not tonight… I had been awake long enough and needed my sleep now.
“Will you join my bed, I can make you breakfast when we get up again?” Dean asked and smiled down on me, he pulled me into his body, holding me close and making me aware of his semi-erection.
“Sorry, Dean… I am dead tired. I need some sleep… another time for sure.” I told him and tiptoed to kiss his cheeks.
He groaned “I bet I can make you forget your tiredness…”He had to try again, right?!
“I know you can, but not tonight. It’s-” I looked at my watch and saw it was 7:15 already, shit the time was flying. “-too late for that.”
He nodded “Okay, should I still bring you over to your home?” Dean asked a little sad and I smiled.
“No thanks, the last few streets I manage alone, but thanks.”
Dean gave me a final kiss and headed into his house, I waved a final time and kept on walking.
My feet hurt and I decided to get rid of my high heels and walk the last distance on bare feet.
I saw a woman in the distance walk towards me. Oh, I knew that outfit and that walk…
Was only hard to miss… the distance between us got smaller and I frowned.
Her long hair was draped into a bun on the back of her head, she had such beautiful long hair but most of the time hid in an ugly way draped on her head.
Her outfit was screaming ‘Don’t fuck with me, I am all business’ and I think that’s what her attitude is as well. We didn’t talk much during the last months, and honestly how she was reacting towards me the last times we met I wasn’t sorry about it at all.
It seemed like we had nothing in common anymore. She pulled her phone out of her pocket and shifted her business bag into her other hand, she was already on her way to work and looked stressed… like always… no fun in sight when my sister was there.
We were now only a few feet from each other, I didn’t really know if she would want to talk to me, but I saw the way she was eyeing me and my outfit, and she might even have seen me saying goodbye to Dean… ha I knew what she was thinking…
We stopped before each other, I opened my mouth to say something but my phone rang.
She lifted an eyebrow at me and I looked at the caller ‘Daddy calling’
“Sorry, I have to take that.” I shrugged at my sister and walked away.

Josephine’s POV
How the hell could that girl be so damn irresponsible? Our dad had raised us the same and still she was only partying, never ever do something to make her own money. Piercings, tattoos, clubbing all night, every night a different man. I bet she thought I didn’t notice her doing the walk of shame, but then again, she wouldn’t mind probably. I saw her say goodbye to that guy with the bad boy image, I could see he was more than saying goodbye to her, wouldn’t he had enough last night?

I looked at my sister as she walked away from me, picking up her phone as she went. Her jeans too tight, her top too revealing and a leather jacket that was so small it could hardly be called a jacket. To top that lovely ensemble of, she had her shoes in hand. She’d better put a neon sign above her head, saying “Party girl doing the walk of shame”. Did she have no dignity at all?

The ringing of my phone got me out of my train of thoughts and I looked at the caller ID “Daddy calling”. Just what I needed, I could let out some of my frustration before I had to be all ‘miss vice president’ again.

“Daddy, I’m so glad you called. I saw Jacky just now, you really have to talk to her, I mean, she has no shame at all. She just uses your money to live that fun little life of her, not doing anything to make a life for herself” I ranted in one breath, not giving my father a second to say anything, but as soon as I let the silence fall, he took his chance.
“Princess, calm down, how are you sweetie?”
“Busy, I have that budgetmeeting today, it will be hard to convince the board of the plans we have, I will need all the luck I can get”
“You don’t need luck, princess, you have quality and knowledge, just trust on your instincts, they have always been amazing”
“Thank you daddy” I smiled at the encouraging words of my dad, in his reassuring voice. I heard him sigh and take a deep breath
“I needed to ask you something. I would love for you to come to dinner tonight”
“I don’t think I can make it, I’m sorry, not tonight. You know how these kind of meetings go”
“Of course, I do, but I still need you to make time for me. You know I don’t want to interrupt business and you can live your own life. You know I don’t ask for much, but I need this from you now” He was pleading and I heard the urgency in his voice, my heart got cold.
“Daddy, you are scaring me, what is going on?”
“Nothing important, sweetie, I promise, but I need to talk to you, okay? Please do your old daddy this little favour” The smile in his voice was audible and I couldn’t resist.
“I will be there, but not before 8”
“No problem princess, I will see you tonight, I love you to the moon and back”
“I love you even further”

With that I said goodbye to my dad. It was always the same, every single time we said goodbye to each other. As I walked into my corner office at the 15th floor, I was wondering what could be going on, my dad was never this mysterious or demanding I needed to come by.
