Chapter 8
Jack
I sat in the kitchen to make my call to Piper while Nicki was upstairs changing the bed on speaker phone. I did not ask her why that was suddenly important to her.
Piper: Hey sexy stud! When are you gunna come back and claim this pussy that belongs to you?
Jack: About that. That is why I am calling.
Piper: Uh-Oh. Mamma putting a stop to our fun?
Jack: It’s more than that. I am retiring. I will not be traveling anymore without Nicki.
Piper: Oh? So you’re just dumping me and the band?
Jack: It’s more than that. I am promoting you to be the PR manager for them. Also, I am selling the agency later this week but I will get it in writing that none of the employees will be let go for at least two years.
Piper: Damn! When you move on, you really move on. You know that I gave you 15 of the best years of my life…right?
Jack: So what? Are you going to shake me down now after all the years that I gave you? (Shouted)
I was startled when Nicki grabbed the phone out of my hand from behind. I never heard her come into the kitchen.
Nicki: You listen to me you tramp. You are nothing more than a road whore. The position that Jack is giving you is a position that will pay you nearly 100K a year. Will those little band dorks ever give you even one tenth of that?
Piper. I-I-I Nicki. I had no idea you knew about all of this.
Nicki: Unlike you. I am Jack’s wife. I know what my husband is up to and he knows what I have been doing.
Nicki: Those band boys will just use you for a couple of more years and then turn you in for a twenty-something little cutie. You need to rethink your future too.
Piper: I-I-I have never thought that far ahead.
Nicki: Well Piper. It is about time you did.
Nicki: To help you along that road, I will have Jack post 500K into your bank account. You will be free to do anything you want with your life from now on.
Piper: Are-are…you sure? I wasn’t trying to soak Jack for anything. I was just hurt that he was just dumping me.
Nicki: You always knew Jack was married. You certainly had to have thoughts that this could happen some day?
Piper: To tell you the truth, I am surprised that it didn’t happen years ago.
Nicki: I’m sorry sweetie. It just took Jack and I a while to figure out what we really want in our life and in our marriage.
Nicki: So you accept our gift and do whatever you want. You are welcome to keep your job. You are the perfect person to take over that account from Jack.
Nicki: But be careful. 500K can disappear very quickly if you live like a rockstar.
Piper: I will keep my job and I will do the best job I am capable of. I will put your gift in savings and use it sparingly.
Piper: Goodbye Jack. I will always remember you fondly.
Jack: Same here Piper. Best of luck to you in keeping the boys out of trouble.
