Witness (Nick & Demi) (Nemi)

XXI

Nick

I sat down on the chair of the fancy bar adjusting the pin that had a number on it..

Looking around I see many desperate men and woman chatting between them.. never once mixing up the genders.. some of the girls I looked up to were talking about me for sure and even though this is a thing for desperate people who want to date someone and find the love of their life, I only had one goal.. to fuck..

I took a tiny sip from the beverage I had in front of me and watched some guys sit on other tables while the pianist kept playing..

Some girls started looking at me seductively biting their lips whenever I gave them a smirk

Ever since Demi left, I cut relations with my family.. my brothers got mad at me and it really put an abyss on our relationship, cutting strong bonds that could never be restored

Alfred became all I had so I decided to start running my father's business as a way to distract the memories I had from my failed attempt at happiness

I ran a prostitution house and a strip club on the dark side of New York, including Brooklyn, I owned many bars and a few casinos which made me practically rich..

But one thing I did that my father didn't do was robbing.. I could never stay still.. I loved the thrill of killing and doing the wrong thing.. and this feeling only increased after I met Demi and we made a partnership

I was never a good boy, but now, I was the worst and I loved it..

I have been thinking about turning a full time assassin and give the strip club and other establishments away since I still had a disdain for them.. the problem is, it's a partnership so I would have to leave them to my partner and not earn a dollar, which kind of bugged me

But I am sure one day I'll leave this life.. I just need to find the courage.. and to find someone like Demi again..

  - Welcome ladies and gentleman to the first speed dating of The Bar - one of the staff members said on a low voice - there's only 3 rules, girls must switch from table to table towards the front whenever you hear this sound - he says clicking on his phone - rule number two, there's no touching and no backing out and finally, rule number three is to have fun! - he said as everyone started clapping 

I chuckled taking a sip of my drink again as the first girl came to my table.. she was a blond and she looked like she was fun..

  - Are you all ready? - the man said again

I looked at the lady and she gave me a straight smile while we heard the countdown

I got to meet incredible women but none of them was moving me the way I was supposed to feel moved.. Something was missing..

I watched the final girl sit down not really looking at her face.. Only thing I saw before asking the waitress for refill was that she was girl number 5

- So.. what's your name? - I asked picking up my drink from the tray

- Scarlett..

I placed my drink down and looked at the girl right in front of me.. she was smiling at me.. red stained lips, hair longer than I remembered..

I couldn't help but let a small smirk escape my lips - Are you here to steal my watch Scarlett?

- Maybe later I will - she giggled taking my cup and having a sip out of it

- So.. Scarlett.. tell me.. are you single?

- Of course I am.. - she chuckled running a hand through her hair - What about you?
