ANNA
"Come on Barry line them up the way I like them" It was time to party and let loose not like I got a day off every god damn day. Tonight, was my only night to let loose and forget everything for once. Or at least try and blur the memories out. Instead of sitting at home day in and day out after work. I wanted to live my life, not be stuck miserably forever, I wanted to be happy even just for a moment. The binging of movies and t.v shows never last forever. They never did really help as well. I was always still stuck contemplating the what if's, then I should've done this and that.
"Anna, you get two days odd and you still come here, you just can't stay away can you hot stuff" God, I always hated it when Barry called me that and he knew it too. "Tessa and Darla just had to come here, we couldn't go anywhere else, besides like I want to see you on my days off" I snickered as he glared at me knowing I had him there. Once Barry had finished with the drinks, the girls showed up right on cue. Giggling and tipsy if not high off the club fumes and the good time they were having. After having a few drinks and sitting at the bar. Darla soon began to flirt with Barry. We all knew she wanted in with Barry, he was the manager of this place. And for some reason, she adored him in a messed-up way. To me though he was just an all-out creep. Darla did know how to pick them though. As for Tessa, she had a boyfriend good one to I'll have to admit. Could be a douche bag, but he treats her right like a queen, so I couldn't complain.
The night was a drag, Darla ditched and harassed Barry all night, he couldn't say he wasn't liking the attention. Tessa left wanting to be home with her man. So, like always I was stuck with Darla till she got blind rotten drunk, or found someone for the night. So here I was sitting in an empty booth alone and pissed. "Alone tonight, are we?"
I turned my head to find an older male in his forties more than likely, though he was attractive. The way he was leering at me while checking me was outright disgusting and creepy. "No, but can I help you? "That depends, would you have a drink with me?" He smirked like he was going to get lucky. "Pfft…Umm no, I would like to be alone and left alone, not be in the company of some geezer who's married and yet checks chicks most likely the same age as his own daughter" My voice sizzling with the anger I turned my back hoping the creep would leave.
Unfortunately, that was far from the case. Sitting behind me breathing hard. Finally finding Darla I had definitely had enough. "Darla I'm done for the night what are you going to do?" "Come on Anna stay a little bit longer pretty please" She was well past the needy and greedy. "I'll take her home, don't worry I wont do anything" AS much as Barry was a creeper I knew he wouldn't do anything. Once Barry had called a cab one of the workers was instructed to hang out the front with me and wait till I got in the cab safely. "Hey, I'm willing to pay extra if you take a detour and drive a bit quicker" The hairs on the back of my neck were standing like someone was watching me I could their eyes roaming me up and down.
Thirty dollars later I was home. The cab was a rip off that was for sure. Cranky old man. I still could feel someone watching me but it was different from before. No this was someone I didn't want in life. I was frozen to the spot. "You haven't got long princess, every dog will be sniffing you out, just like how I did" My body was stone cold I was nauseated by the smell coming off the man. It was like he was a rotting corpse. "Who are you" I croaked out. I turned around hearing the man laughing, but no one was there. I rushed to open the door not waiting for around two. Was this all because of the bloke at the bar or something else? Even if I did have high security, sleeping wasn't going to be on my list tonight. I jumped out of my skin as I heard the door open. Breathing a sigh of relief Jamie had walked in with a bimbo for the night. She scowled at me while I stood their hands at my chest trying to catch my heart. "Hey, are you alright?" Jamie looked concerned and as much on the edge as I was. "Yeah, just some creep playing a joke on me" I walked to my room ready to have a hot bath.
Jaimie turned to the blonde giving her the attention she had desired. God, it was so gross who Jaimie would bring home. They always hated seeing me here and they especially hated when we were talking. He was never with the same girl twice. In a way, I never blamed him it was like he was trying to fill up a hole that was making him lonely. It saddened me seeing he had no one to lean on and only me with my own problems. I was glad I had Jaimie in my life, he was the only male I liked or would ever I think. For some reason, I felt like I could trust him and he hasn't let me down since.
Heading to the bath, my thoughts were interrupted as there was a knock on the door, well more like a bang. It was strange how someone was knocking on the door now of all hours of the night. I walked to the door shaking as I opened it.
