I walk into the club behind the girls. Our phones are taped up so we can't make videos. This exclusive stuff just makes me uncomfortable. Once we get inside, we hand in our coats and go to the bar to order a drink.
I feel an arm around my shoulder "Girls" I hear someone say next to me. I look next to me and see Kylian standing with a big smile that makes me laugh too. "Drinks on my account," he says to the bartender. I turn to him again with an angry face. "That's nonsense. I can pay for my own drink."
Kylian turns his face away and pretends he hasn't heard anything. "Let's go to the others."

He looks at Kate and then says "Vini is waiting for you." I start laughing when I see Kate turn red and take her hand "Look how handsome you are, that will be just fine."
We follow Kylian to the group. I see Jude sitting next to a girl. They are very close together. The girl looks into my eyes and I see her face change to 'Who are you?'

"For those who don't know them yet. This is Sem and that is Isabella." I awkwardly raise my hand in the air when I see Vini walking past me. "And this is Kate and Maya. Nice detail, Kate is mine." I start laughing when Kate turns red again.

I'm about to take a seat at the table when the girl sitting next to Jude says "Already taken." I look at her questioningly and then at Jude who doesn't say anything. 'Typical' I think. I get up and want to walk to the bar when I hear someone at the table say "Don't do what she says."
"It's fine" I say softly and walk to the bar where I take a seat.

"What can I pour for you?" asks the bartender.
"Something strong" I say with a sigh and he nods.
He prepares something and puts it in front of me. "I'll give you this."
I look surprised, "I don't think you're in the right place at all, and neither am I, so we help each other." I nod at him and hold out my hand, "Isabella."
"Stef."
"Nice to meet you Stef and thanks for the drink."
"Don't mention it."

I feel an arm around me "Are you coming to dance too?" Maya shouts in my ear. She points to the dance floor where Vini, Kate, Kylian and Sem are dancing. I want to get up when I see Jude and that girl walking onto the dance floor. "Coming."
"Who is that girl?" Maya asks in surprise. "No idea, I think it's his ex or something."
"Don't be afraid, he likes you." I nod at Maya with a fake smile. "You go ahead, I'll finish my drink."

"So you are friends with the most beloved men in the football world?" I hear the bartender say laughing.
"Something like that," I say, laughing.
"A world apart, isn't it." I nod at him, he's absolutely right. This is so not my world. This exclusive stuff, being rude to each other. Everyone wants to feel better than everyone else.

"I'm going to the toilet" I quickly say to him.
"See you later" he says with a wink. My god how I would have liked to keep talking to him now, but then the whole act would be ruined. Although that is already the case because my fake boyfriend is dancing with someone else.

I want to go to the toilet and find out that I have to go to the toilet via the dance floor. When I walk past the group I hear Kate shout "Isa are you coming too?"
I see everyone looking around and when I look straight into Jude's eyes I immediately say to Kate "In a moment."

I walk into the bathroom and take a seat in front of the mirror by the sink. "What am I doing?" I say to myself.
I splash some water on my face to freshen up.
When I dry my face and my hands I want to walk outside again when I see that the entrance to the door is occupied. I look up and see that it is Jude.
"This is the women's toilet" I say irritated.
"I just wanted to see how my fake girlfriend is doing."
"Okay."
I want to walk past him out of the bathroom when I'm stopped. "You're not jealous, are you, troublemaker?"
I look surprised. "Jealous of who?"
"Nina."
"Who is that?"
"The girl who was sitting next to me."
"No, I'm not jealous."
"Why are you grumpy them?"
"I really didn't want to be here at all, this whole act in this fake club. I'm only here to improve your reputation, but you're completely ruining that with that cheesy stuff with that Nina."
"I need to get my fun too," he says as he strokes my arm.
"Do that in your house, but not here." I want to walk away when he stops me. "Listen. I don't want this at all, but I'm forced to do this. No one takes pictures here."
"What about your friends and my girlfriends? You're really making me look like a fool because I don't stand up to you. But all my girlfriends are really thinking, what is that guy doing to her?"
"I don't care what others think."
I break away from Jude and walk to the group. "I'm going home guys. I don't feel so good, I think too many different drinks."
Sem comes to me and gives me a hug "Is this because of that girl?" she whispers in my ear.
"I'm just done with it Sem. That whole act."
"I'm coming with you" she says firmly.
"Girls, you stay a little longer. I'm going with Isa." I see that Jude has mingled with the group again, but decide not to say goodbye anymore.
I walk to the coats and take my coat and walk outside where I can finally breathe again. Sem hails a taxi and gives him the address.

I take a seat in the back with Sem and feel her hand around my leg.
I can't hide my tear anymore.

Jude's POV

I see her leaving the club when I get a smack from Kylian. He grabs my arm "We're just going to get something to drink" and pulls me to the bar.
"Wtf are you doing Jude Bellingham?"
I look at him irritated "Stay out of this."
"Wtf are you doing with that Nina man. In front of Isabella and her friends."
"Yeah?"
"Dude, you're really making her look like a complete idiot. She can't tell her friends that your relationship is based on a contract. So she has to protect you too. She can't break up in public and her friends are going to think she's a coward."
I look him in the eye as I start to realize everything a bit more.
"Okay" I try to continue stoically.
"Don't act like you don't have a heart. You're going to cut off that Nina now and tell the girls that you're going to Isabella."
"I'm not going to her."
"Then just fake it."

He pushes me onto the dance floor and grabs Nina by the hand. "What we had is long gone. You're ruining my current relationship."
"What?" she says angrily.
"I don't feel like making a scene, that's why I'm being nice to you, but this way I'm hurting my own girlfriend" I say in the most convincing way.
"What do you want now?"
"I'm going to Isabella. And I don't want to see you anymore."
I see Isabella's friends looking at me in the corner of my eye. I turn to them "Sorry girls, just now. I wanted to be nice."
They nod yes "Tell that to Isabella too. She was really hurt."
"I know. I'm going to her now."
