Chapter Fourteen

Jack’s fight with the goon squad of four jocks was the talk of the Red Rose for my following four of five shifts. I couldn’t escape questions about him from coworkers and regular clients, who approached me with big eyes and even bigger curiosity. I explained several times that Jack was fine, and soon was bombarded with more personal questions.

Are you and Jack an item?

How long have you been together?

Do you think it will last?

By the time I lost all patience and was tired of indulging strangers in the tales of my personal life, Jack graced the Red Rose with his presence again. He had been kind enough to let the dust settle after the fight, knowing that Max wouldn’t want him in the place right away. He waited until his knuckles healed and until I begged him to come visit me on one of my shifts. He had agreed, promising to come see me around ten o’clock, before the place started to swing with music and I would be confronted with the late night rush of millenials buying drinks.

It was as I was pouring a porn star shot that I heard a man’s voice speak my name. I finished pouring, handed the drink off, and turned to face my visitor, a smile tugging the corners of my mouth.

It wasn’t Jack.

It was a tall, lean blonde man with a cruel smile and even crueler eyes. He winked at me.

Chris.

My heart felt like it stopped beating and then tumbled down into my stomach to hide. I blinked at him, wondering if I was hallucinating. When he failed to disappear, I concluded that my tormentor was actually here, in the flesh, grinning at me the same way he had that night that he hovered over me as I sat in a crumpled terrified heap on the kitchen floor.

“Alice,” he purred, “you’re looking as lovely as ever.” His eyes did a clean sweep of me and lingered on my cleavage. “A little too lovely for such a public place, but, that’s a quick fix.”

He leaned over my bar and reached for my hand. I recoiled from him and backed up until my lower back hit the counter behind me. “What the hell are you doing here, Chris?”

He raised a blonde eyebrow and frowned at me. “I’ve missed you, sweetheart. I wanted to see you. It took me a long time to find you. I didn’t expect you to be in such a... colourful place.” He cast his gaze around and didn’t try to hide the distaste that curled his mouth.

“You need to leave,” I muttered, hating how weak my voice sounded in my own ears.

He disregarded my request and sat down on one of the barstools in front of me. “What beer do you have on tap?

“I’m not serving you, Chris.”

“Come on, sweets, I’m all the way on this side of the bar. I just want a drink. And maybe we can catch up. Just a bit? No harm in a little chat.
