It's passed ten pm already. Luckily half an hour before my shift was over. I was just wiping the metal table where some beer was spilled.
"Hey Sweetie you can go home now. I can take it from here."
"It's fine Rosie. I'm almost done here anyway" I replied and sent her a warm smile. In actual truth I'm already finished wiping the table clean.
"Okay after that go home Brittany. It's getting late." She advised with her caring mother type voice before going back to what she was doing in the backroom. Probably counting money.
I went to the counter to fix the last mess of the night, more scattered glasses. I sighed . I started humming to ease my boredom.
I felt my phone buzzed scaring me a bit. I couldn't help but giggle at myself. I grabbed my phone from my back pocket. I couldn't help but sigh because I haven't even read my message yet when I heard the bell chime indicating a costumer's arrival.
I mean it's already late and I wanna go home already and definitely don't wanna deal with anymore costumers. And come on can't they read the Close sign? Or did I forget to flip the sign again. Ughh.
"Excuse me miss?" I heard the person say just as I turned around to face him or her.
Her. I found a woman in a little bit fancy clothes looking at me.
"I'm sorry Ma'am but I'm afraid where already close." I tried to say as polite as I could.
"No. Its my friend. She's hurt. I need your help." She said pleadingly. I looked at her carefully and found that she a bit pale and slightly shaking.
"Of course" I replied. I immediately followed her as she rushed outside.
I kinda panicked on what scenario I'm about to see. I found myself standing beside a maroon car when the woman turned around. I didn't know what but something definitely changed as I stare at her eyes again. And that didn't seem to be a good sign says my instincts.
"Okay, where is she?" I asked as I looked through her car but the its tinted.
"I'm sorry for tricking you but that's not really what I intended to-"
"Woah, tricked? What the hell are you talking about now?" I found myself interrupting her and voicing out my internal confusion.
I heard her sigh as she scratched her head slightly like she's annoyed and tired at the same time.
"There's no one hurt. I.. I have a favor to ask which you can only say yes"
"Favor? Wha- Okay I'm out of here. You're crazy" I said as I turned around and dismissed her. Is she on crack? I mean she seems fine the way she look or act. But what the hell, I want to go home already.
Maybe it's a prank. Whatever. I don't care what the lying psycho wants anymore but there's no one hurt so I better leave.
"You're not listening miss. You can't leave." She said firmly like I was a child being scolded.
I didn't care what she says. I continued going back with no intent of looking back or stopping.
"Hey miss I'm asking you the easy way here. Don't test my patience."
I chuckled under my breath. What a freaking psycho. I shivered when a breeze of cold air gush in my direction. Definitely need to get inside. It's pretty warm there.
"Okay. How much do you need?" I heard her say in such confidence that definitely hit a nerve. I decided to humor her and ride along.
"You know I'm pretty expensive but depends on what exactly do you need?" I said in a slightly playful tone.
Silence. I don't hear any reply so I turned around to find her suddenly in front of me. Shit
My eyes widened in shock as I gasp.
"Shiit" I muttered under my breath as I fall to the ground on my ass.
How did she get here that fast? I didn't hear a thing. I was freaking sure she as a few meters away by the sound of her voice a while ago.
My heart is beating way too fast as I stare at her. She was staring down at me. Okay, maybe a while ago I think she was just messing around. But the way her eyes look right now. I'm getting pretty scared, fast.
I'm panting heavy breaths from my fall when she spoke that baffled me more.
"Just a sip"
A sip what? Is that the answer to my question a while ago? What the hell is she talking about now?
