WARNING: blood.
Glancing across the room of the vacant bar Nick saw a beautiful blonde sitting with her back to him. She wore a silver dress that gleamed even in the dull light. Her stunning blonde hair stopped at her shoulder blades. She turned her head to look at him, ocean blue meet emerald green. Nick could feel his pants tighten. She smiled before turning around completely and got off the stool. She began walking towards him, slowly. One foot in front of the other, her heels making a slight tapping noise before stopping in front of him. She leaned over and captured his lips with hers. The kiss was deep and passionate. Nick pulled her into his lap. One leg between his legs while the other was on the outside, she straddled him.
Pulling away from his mouth she whispered into his ear, "I've missed you, Nick." She whispered, "I wish you were there. I was so scared." She nuzzled up against him.
Nick's hands roamed her back, "I'm sorry." He said breathlessly, "I'm so sorry, Alex. I should have gone down the second you told me Katie was-"
Alex put a finger to Nick's lips, "Shh. We're okay. We're together again. Forget the past." She said kissing him again.
Nick kissed her back, his tongue slipping deep into the cavern of her mouth. His tongue rubbing up against hers while his hands slid down, gripping her buttocks. As things heated up between the two, Nick felt the front of his shirt slowly become wet. He moved his head away from Alex's and looked down only to discover the front of his blue dress shirt was drenched with blood.
"Holy shit!" he gasped, standing abruptly, knocking Alex to the ground. He pulled the wet cloth away from his chest and looked down. Not a scratch. His heart skipped a beat. He looked down to see Alex, her head down, her blonde hair hiding her face. Her shoulders shook as she sobbed. A pool of blood surrounded her. Her hands were busy trying to stuff her insides back into her abdomen.
"You did this to me… You did this!" She screamed up at Nick. Bloody tears dripping down her face, "It's your entire fault!"
Nick spun around to try and run from his wife but small hands wrapping around his waist stopped him. "Where are you going daddy?" the voice of the hands asked, "You promised you'd play with me. Remember?"
Nick's green eyes went wide as he listened to the sweet soft voice. "I played with mommy, now it's your turn daddy!"
"No!" Nick screamed and tore away from the small hands.
BANG!
A bullet pierced straight through Nick's abdomen and into the small girl's forehead. Her head jerked backwards before crumpling to the floor. Somehow Nick managed to stay standing.
"Well I'll be damned. Head shot!" the shooter laughed. "Howdy Nick! It's me Keith! Ya know, El's buddy! I though' I'd just stop on by and thank ya for leaving me to die and then stealin' El away from me." He grinned and pointed the pistol at Nick's head, "Maybe I shoulda let that bitch eat yer brain instead of savin' ya." He shrugged, "To late now I reckon. Well adios amigo!" he grinned and pulled the trigger.
…
Nick screamed as he shot up from the bed, practically kicking Ellis off. Ellis tumbled before glancing up at the con-man with wide eyes, "What the hell man!"
Nick's fingers gripped the hair on his head as he took in deep breath and quickly letting them out. Rochelle and Coach rushed in, guns first. The two of them looked around the room not sure what they were expecting to find. Coach was the first to put his gun down, "What the hell is goin' on in here?" he asked.
Rochelle flushed slightly at the sight of the young mechanic sitting on the ground in nothing but his boxers and Nick sitting up in the bed topless, the thin sheet across his lap. "Uh, everything okay Nick?"
"Yeah." He said, a shaky hand running through his hair, "Fine, just a dream. That's all."
"Must have been one hell of a dream, boy." Coach sighed into his hand, "Woke up and almost pissed myself."
Nick grunted, "Sorry."
"S'okay. We all have nightmares." Coach yawned, "Since no one is exactly dying I'm heading back to bed. My turn for watch will be coming faster then I'd like."
"I'll take your shift." Nick said tossing the sheet away from his sweaty body before he slipped into his white trousers, "I'm wide awake."
"I aint gonna fight you Nick. My shift's all yours. Night all!" Coach said leaving.
Rochelle stood there staring at the two men, her face blazing. Ellis looked down at himself and quickly looked for his coveralls. Nick, not embarrassed continued to dress. He looked over at Rochelle, "What?"
"You two…. Uh, you know…" She shook her head, "never mind." I'm gonna go finish watch. You come and get me when you're ready to take over Nick."
"Got it." Nick nodded and buttoned up his blue dress shirt.
The two men were quite. Ellis, to afraid to say anything to the older man and Nick, to pissed at himself for making such a scene. Sucking it up Nick turned to the young mechanic, "You gonna stay on the floor in nothing but your overalls?" he asked almost angrily.
"N-Naw. I was jus' about to get back into the bed." Ellis said jumping to his feet. "Do ya wanna talk about it? I mean I never saw ya look so scared 'afore."
"No. I don't want to talk about it." Nick grumbled, "It was a nightmare. It's done and over with."
"But yer afraid to go back to sleep…"
"Shut up, Ellis. Just lie back down and go to sleep. I don't feel like putting up with you right now."
"Alright." Ellis said obediently.
Without another word Nick left the room.
Alright, alright… not much of a chapter, but at least it's something, right? I just wanted to update so I can hopefully become productive with this story again and get back to the actual story. So, review please and thanks!
