The sound of the phone ringing brought them downstairs. It was Trisha enquiring after Nikki. Helen took the call and informed Trish that Nikki was fine and that they would be in contact with her later on. Miffed at not being able to speak to Nikki, Trish relunctantly hung up. Over breakfast Nikki announced that she was going to ask Trisha to buy her share of the club.

"Are you sure that’s what you want sweetheart? Helen asked.

"Helen after last night I could never go back." Nikki replied.

"What will you do then?" Helen enquired.

"Well I’ve always wanted to write, so maybe I could give that a go." Nikki said feeling her spirits rise.

"Sounds great Nikki. Perfect!" Helen concluded.

Feeling better Nikki couldn’t wait to talk to Trisha about her buying the club.
"Helen she called, I think I’ll give Trish a ring and ask to meet for coffee to have a talk. You wanna come?

"No can do babe, you go I’ve got things to do here." Helen called back.

"What things?" Nikki asked.

"Girl things" Helen teased.

Nikki arranged to meet Trisha in an hours time so went to get ready. Kissing Helen goodbye she left the flat. Helen had a beauty regiment she was dying to put herself through so she took advantage of having the bathroom to herself and began her ritual.

Trisha was waiting for Nikki and had already ordered a coffee. She had brought along the business books for Nikki to look over. Apparently they had been doing very well and Nikki was pleasantly surprised at the increased takings of the club. Nikki then bit the bullet once the general chit chat was out the way.

"Trisha I realised I need to sell the club. I want you to have first refusal.

Trisha was shocked.
"Nikki are you sure you want to sell? Trisha asked.

"Yes, dead sure. I"m sorry Trisha but after the other night I couldn’t take coming back. There are too many bad memories for me there."Nikki went on to say
.
Trish was sad to hear Nikki say this. They had had some good times and shared many happy memories apart from that one fatal night that was now causing Nikki so much pain. Trish felt her own pain. The club was the only tie left binding her to Nikki and now it was about to be broken. Of course she understood how Nikki felt and she would be the last person to want to see Nikki unhappy. Trish knew her own unhappiness was her fault. What on earth had possessed her to betray Nikki in the first place. Her own act of stupidity had cost her the love of her life. Seeing Nikki and Helen together was too much for Trish to bare. She saw the way Nikki looked at Helen and couldn’t remember a time when Nikki had seen her in the same light. This was probably for the best for at least she wouldn’t have to put herself through the pain of seeing Nikki on a daily basis knowing that she was no longer hers.
