It Lives No More

Memories of Nightmares

Isaac's POV

Another busy day at the bar, I don't mind, I like my job, making drinks for people and listening to the stories they share, other than that, I can make anything if Z wants something to relax after a long day, and I join her. But the thing that I don't like about this job is the consent flirting I get from consumers, especially from stubborn women and men sometimes, but mostly from women who just don't quit. Especially the regulars, and there's a few.

"Yo Isaac! Your regular!" Kamal with his black hair, nose piercing and whole arm of tattoos, he signal with his head to my regular, stubborn customer, who has a habit of trying asking me out.
I went over there and be as friendly as I can, "What can I get you, Jill?" She was a blonde with her hair being wavy, I won't lie, she's beautiful but I'm not interested. She obviously smirking and winked at me. Her friends who never stop her, goes along with the flirting.

She spoke while being flirty, "I would love a Bloody Mary and a Clover Clubs and a side of you. I'm having a party at my place tomorrow night and I would love for you to be there, Isaac. Not for making drinks but to spend time with you and a dance and..."

"One Bloody Mary and a Clover Clubs, and what about you girls?"
Before they could order, Jill glared at them and spoke up, "Isn't bartending a tiring job? You working late tonight, right? How about when you get off, we'll get something to eat and hang out at my place. I bet your strong and great in..." She seemed so pissed when I casually raise my hand to show her the big, sliver ring of happiness.

"As I told you before, Jill, no. I'm married and I'll get your drinks ready." I walked away and heard her talking to her friends, scoffing by the fact someone said the terrifying word to her. The 'No' to her white spoiled rich ass. I ignored it, and I tried my best to ignore her saying shit about Zinnia.

"I don't believe he's married, I bet you she's cheating on him."

"I bet they're unhappy with each other."

"What are you going to do, Jill?"

"What you think? I'm not giving up, he's hot to stay away. And I can make him happy than that slut."

I took a deep breath and someone patted my back and it was Kamal, who took the drinks and served them in my place. Which the girls were disappointed, Jill winked at me, "Call me when you need someone better, Isaac." She left her number, I picked it up and gave it to Kamal.

"Here."

"Man she may be a bitch but she's hot. You sure about that?"

"I'm married and yes I'm sure." I heard my other coworker laughed, "Yeah right. You ain't married. Who gets married at 25? Oh good one."
I ignored them, I don't care if they don't believe I'm married, I don't need to explain, we're married, even though it was an elopement but still. However there's a few who believes and respect that I'm married and being faithful to my beautiful wife. Although the questions with babies came up and I just stop the conversation, we're happy as we are. Sadie is our only child. I felt my phone vibrating, I pulled it out and I felt goosebumps, it was Devon. I put it away, I'm not going to answer it, he can wait. The lights started flickering, it was weird but than I heard a voice, a whisper, "Scared?"
I softly gasped and looked around as to who said it, I ignored it and continued working when I heard it again, "Are... You... Scared?!" Everything went back and everyone started groaning and I went to the back to see what's going on with the lights and immediately was in the same surrounding as my dream! Or freaking nightmare! "No I'm awake! Wake up!" Than suddenly I was faced to faced with some smokey claw like hands surrounding me and heard a whisper, "He... Help... Me!!" I gasped loudly when I woke up! I'm on the ground, with some boxes around me, Kamal and Jerrod appeared along with the owner.
