It is the very first night in my own apartment. Saying goodbye to Josh was by far the worst thing I had to do. This time walking away from him was much harder as the times before. My love for him has grown so much stronger over the past couple of months. It feels like our relationship has been doomed from the start.
I take the key to his apartment out my pocket and put it safely away, maybe one day I will use it.
I pour myself a glass of wine and start unpacking. I still can’t believe I was crazy enough to buy this place.
It’s well after midnight when I finally finish unpacking my last suitcase. I am laying on my bed, staring at the ceiling when my phone beeps, it is Josh, I must admit that I am excited for just a little bit to hear from him.
Josh ~”I miss you.”
I don’t know if I should respond, the part that misses him wants to and I do.
Becca ~”I miss you too.”
Josh ~”Please come home.”
Becca ~”I have a home.”
Josh ~”Am I ever going to see you again?”
Becca ~”Give me time, I won’t go too far away.”
Josh ~”Please come see me at the club tomorrow.”
Becca ~”I can’t, not tomorrow, maybe some other day.”
Josh ~”Becca I can’t lose you. I love you too fucking much.”
Becca ~”I love you too. We will speak soon.”
…………………….
This can’t get any worse, I have never seen this side of Josh, it breaks my heart for doing this. I am just so pissed off that they did not stand up for me.
I soon drift off to sleep, my dreams filled with Josh. When I wake up the next morning, there is a text from him.
Josh ~”Please come see me.”
I don’t know if I should respond, he sent that at three this morning, what on earth is he doing up so early.
Becca ~”Morning, I will think about it.”
Josh ~”Please.”
I put my phone away and get ready for work. I don’t know why I want to go work at a club if I can get a normal job anywhere else. I think I am addicted to the thrill and the fact that I can get drunk while I am at work.
An hour later and I head off to Spangles. Mike is at the bar already waiting.
Mike ~”Fuck you still have one of the best asses I have ever seen.”
Becca ~”I am not even here for a minute and you are already flirting.”
Mike ~”Hey you can’t stop me from trying.”
Becca ~”So I guess I am working VIP?”
Mike ~”Yes.”
Becca ~”Can I work the floor as well?”
Mike ~”As long as everybody gets served. I am pairing you with another new girl.”
Becca ~”Does she drink tequila?”
Just then a very good looking girl about my age walk up to the bar.
Mike ~”Becca this Jennifer.”
Jenni ~”Hi. Please call me Jenni. Mike likes teasing me and call me that awful name.”
Becca ~”Becca.”
Jenni ~”I have heard a lot about you from the guys in VIP.”
Becca ~”Probably none of it good.”
Mike ~”It’s about time you two get your asses to work.”
Becca ~”As bossy as ever.”
Mike ~”And Becca.”
Becca ~”Yes?”
Mike ~”Behave!”
Becca ~”I always do.”
With that we head off to VIP.
Jenni ~”So why you back here?”
Becca ~”Needed a job.”
Jenni ~”The girls said that you hooked up with that strip club owner.”
Becca ~”It’s over.”
Jenni ~”That was one hot piece of a man. Can I ask a personal question?”
Becca ~”Of course.”
Jenni ~”Was the sex good?”
Becca ~”Wow you are quite straightforward.”
Jenni ~”Sorry I say it like it is.”
Becca ~”Don’t be sorry, I prefer someone that does not bullshit around. The sex was fucking amazing. He definitely knew how to use his fingers and tongue.”
Jenni ~”So why did you break up?”
Becca ~”Conflict of interests.”
Jenni ~”So he did not take your side?”
Becca ~”Exactly.”
Jenni ~”Since you back, do I have to do your shooter rule?”
Becca ~”That is totally up to you, I don’t drink any other way.”
Jenni ~”Great, let’s go!”
We head off to our first booth, it’s a bunch of guys I know.
Becca ~”Roger, James, nice to see you guys again.”
Roger ~”Fuck Becca it’s good to see you.”
Becca ~”Is the asshole here?”
James ~”No, we don’t hang out together anymore.”
Becca ~”Glad you came to your senses.”
Jenni ~”So boys what will it be?”
Roger ~”Since it is Becca, we want her tequila rule.”
Jenni ~”Oh my god. Already.”
I pour us all a round of three tequilas each, I throw them back in no time of all.
Becca ~”Fuck I have missed this.”
Jenni ~”We will see you guys later. How much can you drink?”
Becca ~”A lot, I hope you can too.”
Jenni ~”So was that another ex?”
Becca ~”Nah, friends of an ex. And you? Any boyfriend?”
Jenni ~”Nah, also have a recently ex.”
Becca ~”What happened?”
Jenni ~”He did not like my party lifestyle.”
Becca ~”Then he is an asshole.”
Jenni ~”Hey we must go to that new club in town.”
Becca ~”Dynasti?”
Jenni ~”Yes.”
Becca ~”I don’t think so.”
Jenni ~”Why not?”
Becca ~”Josh owns it.”
Jenni ~”Really? We can get in without standing in those cues.”
Becca ~”Did you not hear me? Josh owns it, Josh my EX.”
Jenni ~”I heard you. All more the reason you should go.”
Becca ~”Why?”
Jenni ~”Piss him off.”
Becca ~”I am trying to ignore him.”
Jenni ~”Like you did five minutes ago when you texted him.”
Becca ~”Who says it was Josh?”
Jenni ~”Honey it was written all over your face.”
Becca ~”Urgh!”
Jenni ~”So we must go!”
Becca ~”Okay but we need to do something first.”
Jenni ~”What is that?”
Becca ~”Let’s get drunk and I will tell you later?”
Jenni ~”That is called bribery or so I think.”
Becca ~”No it’s called having a goodtime.”
Jenni ~”Okay there is a table we have to serve. These guys are fucking hot.”
Becca ~”I can see trouble coming.”
…………………….
Jenni ~”Hey guys. Glad to see you back here. This is the new old girl, Becca. This is Tristan.”
Tristan ~”Glad to see some more talent around here.”
Becca ~”Glad you noticed.”
Jenni ~”This is Mason.”
Mason ~ “Tristan is rude, you are gorgeous not a piece of talent.”
Becca ~”So what about a round of drinks.”
Jenni ~”Must warn you guys she is a real shooter girl.”
Mason ~”Nothing scares me.”
I pour a round of three tequilas for us each and just to prove a point I pour a round of three JDs as well.
Tristan ~”Fuck woman. Are you going to drink all of that?”
Becca ~”Why can’t you drink all of that?”
Mason ~”Stop being such a baby Tristan.”
Becca ~”And you Mason?”
Mason ~”I am on.”
With that me and Mason throw our drinks back in no time while Tristan and Jenni struggle a bit.
Mason ~”Up for another round baby girl.”
Becca ~”Yes baby boy.”
We sit long after closing time still chatting and having shots.
Jenni ~”Ok what must I help you with?”
Becca ~”Be at my place in the morning before shift.”
