Bad Reputation

25.

I woke up with Jordan next to me. He was a revenge fuck and he knew it.
He knew he wasn't more than a rebound.

But I didn't even feel bad, not for him and definitely not for Lando. All these boys could kiss my ass for all I cared.

Lando turned out to be exactly as I thought he was, so I wasn't surprised, wasn't gonna cry over him. His life didn't stop because of me, so my life wasn't gonna stop either.

So the next evening, I just went back to the club - I wasn't gonna skip work for that asshole.

"Are you okay?" Jess asked as I walked behind the bar. "Perfect" I nodded.

She looked at Chase, who avoided my eyes as much as possible. I don't think Jess had any idea about the bets these guys liked to do.

Jordan also walked in only half an hour later, once again, he didn't have to work but he probably just wanted to check on me after I kicked him out of my apartment this morning.

"Your usual?" I asked as I leaned on the bar. He nodded. "Are you okay?"

"Oh my God" I sighed as I put the bottle of vodka on the bar, maybe a bit too hard. "A little boy kissed someone else while he promised to be loyal - we weren't even together"

I rolled my eyes as I made his drink. "So yes I am okay"

"She's not okay" Jordan looked at Jess, who just chuckled a little.

"But hey Chase" I said as I turned to him. "I guess you lost your bet to Lando, how much did he win?"

"Bet with Lando?" Jess looked at both of us. "What bet?"

"He made a bet with Lando, to keep a girl for a month" I explained to Jess. "So I guess he won that bet, no?"

"Fucking asshole" Jess frowned as she looked at Chase, who immediately put his hands up. "Hey, I didn't know that he was gonna pick her, what are the chances?"

"You could've warned me, protected me from that fuckboy" I yelled, also maybe a little too loud but I didn't care at this point.

"I'm sorry" He mumbled, I bet he wasn't sorry at all. "But c'mon you know what he is like, are you really surprised?"

I just chuckled at that. Did I actually think he was my friend? He wasn't.

"Oh no" Jess mumbled as she looked ahead of her. It was clear to see what she was looking at, or who she was looking at.

Lando walked in. His usual fuckboy-self. A white shirt, black pants, black backwards cap. He walked up to the bar without hesitation.

But like I said before, Jess was a girls girl, she immediately took a step in front of me, putting a fake smile on her face. "What can I get you?"

"Can I talk to Francesca please?"

"Why?" she tilted her head. "The month is already over, no?"

He frowned a little, looked confused for a couple of seconds until he looked at Chase. "I don't care about that Jess" he mumbled before looking at me. "Can you please talk to me?"

"No" I said as I looked at him. "I am working"

"C'mon Francesca, please 5 minutes"

"She said no, mate" Jordan turned to Lando and took a step closer. "Stay out of this" Lando looked at Jordan.

"Why should I?" Jordan chuckled. "I was the one who was taking care of her yesterday evening when you were kissing someone else"

Lando's head snapped to me and it looked as if he was a little heartbroken too? No, I was just imagining this, he didn't care - I was just a bet.

"Francesca?" he looked straight in my eyes. "Please?"

I shook my head. "No, I-I can't"

Because I was gonna give in again, especially when he looked at me like that. With those beautiful eyes.

"You heard her" Jordan said, nodding at the door. "Leave her alone"

Lando took a couple of steps back, still looking at me. He nodded and turned around.

Out of the door, out of my life.
