Amy's POV:
"So what's a pretty girl like you doing at a place like this alone?" The man asks.
"Who says I'm alone?" I ask sharply.
"Well you came into this bar alone and you've been sitting at the counter for at least 30 minutes looking out at the crowd." The man replied.
I glared at him as a smile spread across his face and I became very aware that he had been watching me.
"Fine, my name is Brad. What's yours?" He asks as he sticks his hand out to me.
"Amy." I reply as I eye his hand suspiciously.
"Not the friendly type I see." He says as he withdraws his hand.
"Buddy after the day I've had you would know I have every right to be unfriendly right now." I reply as I take a long sip of my drink.
"Oh come on it can't be that bad can it?" He asks as he inches closer to me.
"What do you do for a living? Waitress, model, exotic dancer?" He continues.
I nearly choke on my drink at his words.
"I'm a journalist and the only dancing I do is more for exercise purposes." I reply flatly.
"Hmm, I'd have taken you for the exotic dancer myself." He says with a mischievous grin.
"If you're trying to pick me up you're doing a terrible job at it." I replied.
His smile only got bigger at my words and I began to become uneasy.
"Well it would seem that you need a ride. I believe you left this behind earlier today." He says as he pulls out his phone and shows me a picture of my bike.
"What the hell!" I begin to shout and jump to my feet.
"Now, now simmer down. Your bike is safe. I have it at a local shop and they are taking very good care of it." He says with a triumphant smirk.
"I don't know what you're getting at or what you're hoping to gain here but you won't get it from me." I replied angrily.
"Shall we go somewhere else to talk? Some place, more private? Perhaps your place?" He says in a tone that doesn't sound like he's asking as he flashes me a badge.
I sigh loudly then head out of the bar with Brad following behind me.
"This way my dear." He motions for me to follow him once we are outside.
He leads me to a fancy black car and opens the passenger door allowing me to get in. We begin to head in the direction of my home. I stay silent for a moment as I realize I didn't tell him my address. I rode silently in the passenger seat as I fidgeted with my hands after a few minutes we pull into my drive. I get out of the care and head up my steps and open the door to my house then head for the familiar kitchen.
"May I use your restroom?" He asks.
"Sure. If you look to your right there's a door just in the living room. Take your shoes off first" I reply as I pull a bottle of vodka from the fridge.
I go to my room and put on my comfy black shorts and my white tank top with my white halter bra underneath. I slide on a pair of comfy socks and my house shoes. I go back to the kitchen to see Brad is still in the bathroom. I roll my eyes and grab the bottle of vodka and head out onto my patio. I light up a cigarette and take a long draw before taking a drink of the vodka.
"Mind if I join you?" I hear Brad's voice ask from behind.
"Like I have a choice." I say sarcastically.
He swiftly moves up next to me and lights a cigarette of his own. I take a few more long drinks from the bottle in my hand and begin to feel a good buzz.
"So what exactly is it you want?" I ask as I roll my eyes.
"Just one night of your time is all I ask. If you indulge my request your bike will be returned here by tomorrow afternoon." He replied as he edged closer to me and took the bottle from my hand.
I could feel his breath on my face and my heart began pounding but I couldn't help but laugh at him as the alcohol was finally starting to hit me.
"Wow! You men are all the same aren't you? Only after one thing." I reply as I grab the bottle from him and bring the bottle back to my lips.
"Whatever, not like it matters anyways." I replied as the day's events flashed through my mind.
The alcohol has taken full effect and I feel like I am floating on air.
"Then shall we?" He says as he holds open the door for me.
I rolled my eyes and walked back inside with him following closely behind. I took another long drink from my bottle before setting it down on the table and I began to head for my bedroom. It's like I'm in a trance as I open the door and I suddenly feel very sleepy. Fear washes over me and I begin to panic.
"Wait." I say groggily as Brad wraps his arms around me.
"Calm down I have you." He replies in what sounds like a whisper.
"No.Stop." I say weakly as the room goes dark.
