Give me a little pocketmoney!

"By the way, whose car is in front of the house?"

I asked.

„Patrick's."

Jules pulled herself together.

„Really? But that car is worth more than your house!"

"Yeah, well, Dad won the lottery and so we managed to try a little better life."

"A little, hah…"

Then I wiped the corner of my mouth and elbowed it on the table.

„Wel,l I hope Patrick, my dear friend, now that your life is going so well, you are repaying the loan, which is just a little pocketmoney for you now."

I brought it up with a gentle smile.

„ Loan?"

He asked back.

„Oh, maybe you've forgotten?"

I tilted my head in surprise.

„For 5 years I paid for the apartment you lived in so far. Don't you think I just gave that monthly £ 600 , for a kiss? So in 60 months, that's exactly £ 36,000. To someone, whose driving a mazerati this amount of money is nothing, right?"

And I'm still gracious to ask for only this much of it back.

„Did you pay their rent?"

I saw my father's face turn pale, if he knew how much money I actually put in the pocket of this sh* thead, I think he would cut us both out.

„Yes, of course I'll pay it back."

He reacted quickly.

„Great! Thanks a lot, do you have my account number or should I write it down?"

„ I have it, yes."

"This money will come in handy when I move into a sublet next month."

I cheered.

„When you move?"

The fork fell out of Francis' hands.

"Francis, I said a year ago that if I got this job, I'd move closer to downtown. This is nothing new, plus Jules is pregnant, needs a baby room and my room is the best place for the little heir to the throne. Right? „

I looked at Jules.

„Actually, we want our own home."

She reacted.

"You'll change your mind when the kid hasn't let you sleep for 4 days straight."

I waved. We also had two acquaintances in common who were constantly bombarding everyone with parenting horror stories, and I saw on her face that she had managed to revive a few of them.

The rest of the afternoon was roughly about Jules clinging to Patrick all the way, indicating how happy she was, and waiting for me to break down. After I showed no reaction in the evening, she came to me for safety.

"Are you sure Sophie, you aren't angry? I know what I did is unforgivable, but we love each other. „

She tried to force tears.

"It's cute of you to think of me that way, but after I noticed that the relationship was over, I didn't have much time to grieve because the many American guys who crowded around me couldn't wait for the lamp to turn green… My God that chocolate guy…hmm…

I performed an awards worth acting.

„ I already understand why you loved being a single."

I winked at her.

„Let's just say… you can ride only one d*ck for the rest of your life, but I, I'm just starting to live. So don't be sorry."

"I understand ..."

She smiled.

"But now I'm going to bed, I've had a long enough day, and you have to think about your baby."

I stroked her belly, waved and locked my room door.

Chocolate guy, huh? Great shit! The training was so intense that I barely had time to sleep. When I was just in the air, Dereck was constantly around me and I couldn't further spoil my boss's opinion of me. Yet there were two guys from whom I would have ripped my shirt off in the alley if I just had the time.
