(Tuesday)

A little around ten a.m. the phone rang waking Jessica and Nipha. The girls answered the phone at the same time. It was Leslie wanting to meet up with them to go shopping for Friday. Nipha asked what time and Leslie said noon would be good. Jessica looked at Jyrki beside her. She really didn't want to go, but didn't want anyone to know to know about the band. So she said she had to work and she heard Nipha agree to go shopping. So Jessica hung up and Nipha talked to Leslie a little longer before she hung up.

"Sweetheart, what's wrong?" Jyrki asked.

"The girls wanted to go shopping, but I have to work. Nipha's gonna be going." Jessica answered.

"Just stick to the plans. We'll be fine alone." Jyrki said.

"I know that but I still feel bad for leaving you." Jessica replied.

Jyrki sat up and started kissing her neck before brushing his lips against the nape of her neck, while his left hand is playing with her hair, the right is tight around her stomach. He kisses the other side of her neck, making her moan ever so slightly, he gently nuzzles her neck drawing another moan from her, when he starts nibbling on her shoulder you feel warm all over and a familiar wetness emerges between your legs. But she wasn't gonna give in. So she got up and went to take a shower. Once she was done, she walked into her room and dressed. Jyrki walked into the bathroom and took his shower. Once he finished, he walked out and dressed. Jyrki sat down on her bed and watched her as she put the finishing touches on. She walked over and kissed him.

In Nipha's room the conversation was the same but the only difference with them was Nipha and Timo weren't committed to one another like Jessica and Jyrki. Nipha got out of bed to take a shower. She walked into her bathroom and started the water. Timo got out of bed and climb into the shower with her. He soaped her body just so he could feel her. Nipha was happy that she would be able to fuck Timo once more before she left. Timo lifted her up and lowered her onto his hard cock. He had her back against the shower wall, while he rammed into her pussy. She was moaning loudly.

"More, give it to me." Nipha said in between moaning.

Timo thrusted into her pussy faster. In...out...in...out over and over again. Nipha moaned even louder.

"Harder, fuck my pussy harder." Nipha said.

Timo gave her what she wanted. Harder and faster until she was cumming. He wasn't to far behind her. They finished washing off and left the bathroom. Timo laid on the bed and Nipha grabbed his cock. She started stroking it and then she placed it into her mouth and sucked on it. Making it hard. She kept up sucking and it got harder. So she slid up and guided his extremely enlarged shaft into her wet pussy. She started to moved on him. Slowly at first and then faster. She grinded her pussy on his hard cock. She was moaning and so was Timo. He reached up and grabbed her breasts. Squeezing then and rolling the nipple between his thumb and forefinger. Nipha was groaning.

Timo stopped squeezing her breasts and grabbed her hips. He helped her move on him. He thrusted upwards as she was sliding down. He felt his cock as it buried itself into her cunt. Nipha couldn't get enough of what he was doing so she kept moaning. Timo carefully moved and she was beneath him as he pounded into her cunt. Harder and faster the way she liked it. They both soon were cumming. Timo moved off of her and laid on the bed. Nipha got up and walked into the bathroom to clean herself up. She soon walked out and sat on her bed. But she just couldn't get enough of Timo's touch. She moved closer to him and started to kiss him. He kissed back. She straddled his thighs and really made out with him.

Jessica walked out of her room and over to Nipha's. She knocked and waited but didn't hear anything, so she cracked open the door and she saw Nipha on top of Timo. Jessica shut the door and walked downstairs. She was pissed. Jussi saw her as she came downstairs. He walked over to her and saw she was very unhappy. Not to long later, Jyrki came downstairs and saw Jessica and Jussi. He walked over to them.

"What's wrong?" Jyrki asked.

"Nipha and Timo. They were making out but I'm sure they've been having sex." Jessica answered.

"You won't know until they say something." Jussi said.

"How about I don't want to know." Jessica replied.

'' We'll find out from him. That way you and Nipha won't have a huge fight about it." Jyrki said.

"Good idea. I don't want her to know that I saw them." Jessica replied.

Jyrki kissed Jessica and she hugged Jussi before she headed out the door and to the bus stop. Nipha walked downstairs and grabbed a bottle of water before she headed to the garage and got into the car.

They only drove the car when they needed to stock up for the month or an emergency came up. But Nipha was the only one that utilized the car for her own needs. She made sure to keep using it so Jessica couldn't. Even when they worked late, the bus was mainly transportation unless they could get a ride.

Nick woke up, but stayed in bed just listening to the quietness. Aaron would soon be up and in the studio working on more songs.

And just as if on que, Aaron walked past Nick's bedroom. Making soft thumping noised going down the stairs.

"Why does he have to be so loud in the morning." Nick asked himself.

Nick got out of bed, stripped off every single article of clothing on his way to his private bathroom. He walked inside and started the shower. Making sure he had the water to the right temperature before he got in. Nick just stood letting the water cascade over his naked body. It seemed to soothe another part of him beside his body.

He finally grabbed the soap and started to wash off the reminiscent of last night. Nick just wanted to start this day off as flawless as he had the previous morning.

Nick got out ten minutes later and wrapped a towel around his waist. Droplets slid down his chest, stopped at the towel. His blonde hair was getting shaggy and he had a five 'o clock shadow. He toweled off and went into his room. He pulled out jeans, boxers, socks and a shirt.

Leslie was already at the mall waiting on Nipha and Jessica to arrive. BJ and Angel were going to meet up with later. So Leslie went alone.

Nipha pulled out her cell and called Leslie to see where they were going to meet up. After she found out where they were meeting up, Nipha closed up her cell and put it back in her purse. She headed in the direction of A.B. Lambain. As she walked to meet the others she just kept thinking of the last few hours. She soon entered the store where Leslie and Angel were. Angel was behind the counter working. She was about to get off soon. Nipha started looking around to see what looked good. Leslie followed Nipha to make sure, just in case she needed a hand.

Nipha and Leslie walked to the back of the store to a new collection that was about to be moved up front. Nipha fell in love with every piece. Her eyes grew wide with excitement as she rummaged through looking for her size.

Nipha picked out 10-15 outfits. All together she had two pairs of jeans, four dresses, one skirt, six tops and a pair of shoes to wear with one of the outfits on Friday. The only thing she needed was accessories to go with the outfits.

Leslie watched in amazement as to how Nipha picked it all out so quickly. Nipha knew her secret and had to explain to Leslie that once she found what she liked, it didn't take long to get what she wanted. As they headed to the check out, Leslie thought about what Nipha said and that worried her considering Jessica.

Angel had gotten off while Nipha was shopping. Angel met them at the check out. All the items she got came to a total of $1050. Angel got a 30% discount on the clothing, she told the girl she was gonna let Nipha use it. Once that was applied, her total came down to $735. Nipha paid the money and thanked Angel for letting her use the discount.

"It's the least I can do. I was gonna get you some of it for your birthday." Angel said.

The next shop they went to was Metrostlye. Angel found a pair of denim blue leggings with black roses. Then into Alloy to find a top. She found a black belted dress with a red belt. In the next shop, Nipha found a gold heart necklace that she wanted to wear with one of the outfits. Then Nipha wanted to go into Carabellas. She wanted to find something for Jessica. But Leslie found something. She found a white vintage-inspired sheer lace top, grey mini shorts and white croco-embossed boots. She wanted to try it on while Nipha and Angel continued looking for something for Jessica. Leslie came out and showed the other two. It looked really cute on her. As she went to change back into her other clothes, Nipha found something for Jessica.

The outfit was a stretch green velvet jacket, a camouflage dress and a brown studded belt. Nipha had to make sure it was the ugliest outfit so Jessica couldn't out do her when they went out. She showed the outfit to Leslie and Leslie lied and told her, Jessica would like it.

"Still got to find shoes unless she already has a pair." Nipha said.

Immediately going into Coward's, Nipha found two pairs of shoes that she though that would go with the outfit she got Jessica. Just as ugly and plain. The first was a pair of clogs in a brown color. The second pair of leather sling backs. After she paid for the shoes, they went to Aerosoles.

Angel found two pairs of red shoes. One pair was a sandal with wide criss-cross over the toe and a wide strap around that buckled. The second was a closed in woven shoe, with that your foot just slid in.

It was going on 3:30 p.m. when they finished shopping. Nipha had to be at work at 4:30 p.m. But having the car she would be at work in twenty minutes. So the three of then went to the food court to get a late lunch.

Nick sat all day listening to Aaron record and play around. He even sang back up. The thought kept haunting him from the other day as BJ walked in on him. He wondered if she told anyone. He wasn't going to question Aaron just in case she didn't.

"Are you looking forward to Friday." Aaron asked.

Nick looked at him and shrugged. His thoughts were on another girl. He thought that the girl he was to meet would be that girl.

"I'm hungry." Aaron said.

Nick snapped back to reality. He said okay and got up. He realized that he didn't have pants on. He laughed and told Aaron he needed to get dressed and then he would be ready to go.

They both went upstairs to get dressed. Nick put on the clothes he had orginally laid out. Aaron changed his shirt and combed his hair. They met in the hall at the same time. Then left to go get something to eat.

Nick and Aaron walked out of the house. They got into Nick's car. Nick drove away from the house and into the city. They agreed on McDonald's. Nick drove to the drive-thru and him and Aaron ordered everything on the menu.

Jessica was manning the bar when a huge group walked in. There wasn't a waitress, so Jessica had to do it. She hated it for the most part, cause guys would try to get something from her or just flat out harass her. They would go as far as grab her ass and that would really irritate her. She grabbed the things she needed and went back to the tables. She saw Cobra walk out and gave him that look that said you better keep an eye on these guys. Cobra watched her carefully as she made her way to the table. She asked the guys what they wanted and she took the order, no problem. Jessica walked to the bar and placed the order. Cobra walked to her and stood beside her.

"What's wrong?" Cobra asked.

"No one is to know The 69 Eyes are here. Nipha and Timo did it in the house. She doesn't know I saw her this morning. But the guys are gonna asked Timo and get it out of him." Jessica answered.

"So what's wrong with that." Cobra asked.

"It's just I know she's just using him until some one else comes along." Jessica answered.

"Don't let it get to you, sweetie. She needs to make mistakes that are her own." Cobra said.

"I should just let her break all the rules and fuck whoever she wants." Jessica replied.

"It's her body let her do it. When she ends up pregnant or worse, it won't be your fault." Cobra said.

"Never thought of it that way." Jessica replied.

"Did you have that with Jyrki." Cobra asked.

"We had that. We went to clubs, met friends and his parents." Jessica answered.

"But you never did it in the house." Cobra asked.

"No, he likes privacy. But there is always someone visiting, then there were the slumber parties we used to have and besides, it's a rule." Jessica answered.

Nick passed the food over to Aaron and paid before driving back home. Aaron started to munch on the fries. Nick looked over at his younger brother and smiled.

"Just save some of those for me." Nick said.

Aaron looked over at Nick with a mouth full of fries and mumbled, "I will. I'm just starving now."

Nick laughed at Aaron. A comedian at times when things got to serious. Other times he was serious and now wasn't one of those times.

Ten minutes later, Nick parked the car in the driveway. Both gentlemen got out with food in each hand and walked into the house. They walked through the house to the kitchen and set the food down. They were about to unbag and split up the food when the ringing of the doorbell sounded. Aaron went to answer it while Nick unbagged and split up the food.

Aaron walked in followed by the rest of the guys. AJ grabbed a bag that Nick didn't unload food from and headed towards the table. Nick took some food, so did Aaron and the rest of the guys took what was left over.

"Why are you here?" Nick asked.

"Just to visit." Howie answered.

"Right." Aaron said sarcastically.

"The real reason." Nick said.

"That was the real reason." AJ mumbled.

Nipha, Angel and Leslie got into the car and left the mall. Nipha drove to Forsaken. She wanted to show Jessica what she had picked out for her. It wasn't a long drive to Forsaken.

Once at Forsaken, all three girls got out of the car and walked into the club. Nipha walked up to the bar. Jessica really didn't want to see what outfit Nipha had got her because it would be ugly as hell but she would humor her and Jessica walked her way. Nipha put the bags on the bar and started pulling out things. Cobra walked up behind Jessica and saw the clothes.

"It's a nice thought but I can wear jeans, t-shirt. Normal for me." Jessica said.

"We are going to that new club. So you have to wear something nice." Nipha replied.

Jessica hated nice. She understood but hated it. Nipha put everything back in the bags and started out of Forsaken. She had to get to work. The girls stayed behind and sat down.

"Don't even say it." Jessica said.

"Those were ugly and not what you want to wear." Cobra replied.

"I know. Could she really think I'd wear that out in public." Jessica said.

"We know she figures if you wear it, she'll be the center of attention." Angel replied.

"She's been like that since our parents died." Jessica said.

"So what did you have in mind to wear." Leslie asked.

"I don't know but I'll go shopping soon." Jessica answered.

"Just think about it, I have to go as well." Cobra said.

"Really but I have to go alone." Jessica replied.

"Girls night out." Cobra said.

"Yes and no offense to you ladies but I don't like spending that much time with Nipha." Jessica replied.

"We understand." Angel said.

Just then a group of men walked in and sat down. Jessica grabbed her pen and pad and headed to the table. She recognized these were no ordinary men, they were Avenged Sevenfold.

"Can I get you gentlemen anything." Jessica asked.

"Just bring us some beers." Zacky answered.

Jessica walked away from the table and to the bar. She grabbed five bottles of beer. She walked back and passed the beers around and walked away. She headed back to the bar.

"Can one of you work now." Jessica asked.

"BJ will be in, in a few but I can work till then." Angel answered.

"Then I'll just wait till BJ gets here and then we have to get to work ourselves." Leslie said.

Nick watched the guys closely, hoping one of them would slip and spill the beans about why they were there. But the guys were watching their p's and q's. Nick waited till Aaron and the guys left. Then he went back into the recording studio and started to lay down tracks to a new song he had been working on since he found out he was being set up.

He continued to lay down the music and adding words as he went. He was putting all his feeling into the words that it made him finally see that he truly was lonely and it was hell. Nick continued with more songs. Every now and then his mind would wonder on if he knew this girl he was being set up with. No one was say anything.

Two hours later and Nick needed to get out of the house. He left the recording studio. He walked past the many windows and saw it was getting darker, so he went upstairs to change. He walked into his room, went to his dresser, pulled out jeans and another shirt. Nick stripped off his dirty clothes and put on the fresh set. He put his shoes back on and headed back downstairs. He walked out the door and locked it and then got into his car.

Nick drove back into the city and decided to go clubbing at a hip club. He drove by many and then there was on that looked out of place and he wanted to see what it was about. He parked the car and locked it before he walked into Forsaken. Nick took in the clubs appearance and some of the people that were there. He walked further in and to the bar.

Cobra saw Nick walk up, "What can I get you?"

"Can I get a coke and some fries." Nick answered.

Jessica walked out of the back and went to clear the tables. She finished clearing the tables ten minutes later and took the dirty things back to the kitchen. Nick watched her and had a feeling he knew her.

Cobra returned with Nick's drink and fries. Then moved down the bar towards a group of men who walked in and sat down.

"Good to see you guys." Cobra said.

"Jessica still working." Jyrki asked.

"Yeah, she's in back," Cobra answered, "what can I get you."

They ordered some sort of alcoholic drink. Cobra walked into the back and gathered all the drinks and took them out. That's when Cobra noticed the box beside Jyrki.

"Is that for Jessica." Cobra asked.

"Yeah, want to see it." Jyrki answered.

Cobra didn't need to say a word. Jyrki lifted off the top and set it aside, then carefully moved the tissue paper. Cobra saw the outfit. He was impress but really thought Jessica wasn't gonna wear it. The outfit consist of a crop stretch denim halter with a deep V front and ties in the back. The skirt was stretch denim rio wash mini skirt and the 4'' sueded heels with rhinestones on the strap all with the Playboy logo.

"She's not gonna wear that." Cobra said.

"She will. She wore this type of clothing in Finland." Jyrki replied.

"And you didn't have to force her." Cobra said.

"No." Jyrki replied.

Jessica walked out of the back and saw the guys. She walked around the bar and over to Jyrki. She noticed the outfit and picked it up. She took it to the bathroom and tried it on. Jyrki had followed her and saw how it looked on Jessica.

"It shows to much." Jessica said.

"It looks fine, so don't worry." Jyrki replied.

Jyrki walked out and waited for Jessica to change back into her regular clothes. Once she walked out, they walked back to the bar. Jessica placed the outfit back in the box. She put the top back on and made sure it was tightly closed.

Jessica went back to work and cleaned the tables. She leaned over to clean a spot further along the wall and sure enough her shirt inched up and the small birth mark on her lower back was exposed.

Nick watched her as she worked and he gazed at her body, to bad she had a boyfriend but he then saw the birth mark and tried to figure out where he had seen it before. He got up and went to the bathroom and he had to pass her.

Jessica headed towards the back and Nick casually followed her. Once they were alone, Nick grabbed her and got a good look at her.

"You can let me go." Jessica said.

"Sorry." Nick replied.

He still didn't let her go. So Jessica gave him the 'if you hurt me, I'll have someone kill you' look.

"Don't I know you from somewhere." Nick asked.

"I work her during the day. My step sister and our friends go out once a week. So I don't see how I would know you." Jessica answered.

"I remember seeing that birth mark." Nick said.

"I don't know where you would have seen it." Jessica replied.

Nick thought back and remember his past girlfriends. There were ones that didn't have a birth mark and then there was just one that did. They broke up because of him touring so much.

"Now I know where I've seen it." Nick said.

"Yeah, where?" Jessica asked.

"You were naked in my bed. That was just after we had sex. I miss those days." Nick answered.

"Well, I don't. I have a wonderful boyfriend and I have that with him." Jessica said.

"Too bad. It would have been fun to have one more night." Nick replied.

"Sorry but I don't cheat on my boyfriend. Anyway, I have to get back to work." Jessica said.

Nick finally let her go and she went back to work. Jessica wasn't gonna let an ex-boyfriend get into her head. Besides if she remember correctly, he was lusting after her step sister while they dated.

Nick left before the other group of guys. He had to get away from this club. But he knew he would be back soon.

Once Forsaken was closed for the night, Jessica and Cobra left and headed to Angel Wings the strip club. Jessica walked inside and Thora let her in. Thora lead her to the VIP section and Jessica ordered a beer and straight up Jack Daniels. After Jessica had her drinks, a group of guys walked in and one of them recognized her and asked if they could join her. She moved and let them sit down. Cobra was having the time of his life in this club. He wondered why he didn't think of a place like this.

"I'm Johnny. I saw you at Forsaken."

"Hello." Jessica replied.

Thora noticed Jessica talking to the guys and decided now was a good time as any to ask if she could work.

"What's your schedule like for tomorrow." Thora asked.

"I don't know, I'll have to check." Jessica answered.

Thora walked away and the guys looked at her.

"What?" Jessica asked.

"First a goth club and now here." Johnny answered.

"So, most of us have more than one job." Jessica said.

"But why here?" Johnny asked.

"It's just until something better comes my way." Jessica answered.

Nipha was just getting off of work. It was a slow night so Finlay the owner decided to close early. They talked while they cleaned up about what they were gonna do once they left the Zodiac. Finlay was going to head home to his wife and then relax the rest of the night. Nipha still wanted to go out even though she was tired.

"Can I run to the car. I have another outfit I want to change into." Nipha asked.

"Just hurry. I want to lock up soon." Finlay answered.

Nipha hurriedly walked out to the car and opened the trunk. She pick out her pink pants and her white lace button cardigan sweater. She then walked back into the club. She walked past Finlay and headed to the bathroom. She came out ten minutes later.

Finlay knew if he told the truth on how she looked, he'd only inflate her ego more she he told her a huge lie and told her she looked nice. Nipha thanked him and they left the club. Finlay waited for Nipha to get into her car before he did. Once she was out of sight, and on her way to Angel Wings, Finlay got into his car and headed home.

One her way to Angel Wings, Nipha called the house. She wanted to know if Jessica was home yet. Jyrki explained that they haven't seen her since they left her at work earlier. Nipha hung up. She soon arrived at the club and got out. She locked the car.
