Inside Brooklyn

CHAPTER 88. BAR LIFE

When i got home i climbed right into bed. I was exhausted. I slept the day away. I had to go into work tonight so i was trying to get all the rest i could get. Chance continued to call and text me. I didn't bother answering because i was tired of hearing him crying and pleading this old ass case. When 8pm rolled around i stared to go through my closet and see what i would wear. I couldn't lie my stomach was poking. I wore some loose fitted cut out jeans and a cute black top.

I got into my car and drove to the bar. I guess my stalker came out of retirement. After pulling off my stalker texted me. I finally felt like i didn't have to look over my shoulder anymore but now that feeling was back.

UNKNOWN - I like your new place. About time you left that lame ass nigga.

ME - Unless you gonna kill me stop contacting me you fucking coward.

UNKNOWN - Can i come over after you get off work.

ME - Since you no my every move show yourself at my job.

The number stopped texting back. I pulled into the Bar's parking lot. I fixed my face and walked into the bar. "Hey Brooklyn!" The Dj said to me over the mic. I waived and went behind the bar. The night was going fast. I was sipping my cranberry juice. It was almost 1 am. After countless of drinks being made i saw a familiar face in the crowd. "Oh hell no!"

Q sat down at the bar looking me up and down. "I heard these drinks you serving addictive. Can i get one." I rolled my eyes. "Did you come over here for a Drink or just to run your mouth." Q gave me his money winning smile. "You know what i like. Before this you use to make drinks for me, and burgers." I turned around to get the bottle of belvedere. I poured Q the drink and slid it to him. "So you came here to bother me and bring up my pass?" I could see a group of women staring at Q from behind him.

I knew in due time one of them would come throwing there selves at him. Maybe then he would leave me alone. "But on the real i didn't come over here fa all that. It was just nice seeing you." I knew the shit he was saying wasn't how he truly felt. "Hey baby , can i buy you a drink?" A small framed woman came and asked Q. Q looked the woman up and down. I knew when he was interested in a bitch. "Shawty i'm good." Q turned his attention back to me. "Baby that's your lost." The woman said as she rolled her eye's and walked off. "Can you drink on the job?" Q asked "Should i even have to answer that." Chance laughed looking down at my drink. "I'm drinking cranberry juice." "Brook!" My boss yelled from the back. "One second." I told Q as i walked to the back.

Q nodded. "Yes." My boss was a older man. His name was Frank. He was always here but mostly staid in the back. When i came to him in need of a job he turned me down at first. I guess he had a change of heart. He always spoke wisdom to me. Something like the father i never had for this short period of time. "Business been real good after you got behind that bar." "Thank you , but i cant take all of the credit." Frank smiled. "So i know soon you will have to take a leave of absence and i want you to know as soon as your ready to come back your welcomed here." "Thank you. I'll keep it in mind. I gotta get back out there." "OK." I walked back behind the bar and Q was still sitting there. "Your still here." "Did you expect me to leave?"

I ignored Q. I sipped my drink and started cleaning down the bar. "You still with your business professional boyfriend?" "Do you think that's appropriate to ask while i'm at work?" I shot back. "You know me shawty. It was just a question. I'm curious."

It was none of his business but why not tell him. "No , we are not together anymore." Q finished his drink and shifted in his seat. "Well is there any room for me?" "No , it's not. What happen to you and my best friend Tae? Or did you forget about that?" Q shook his head. "Me and Tajeah wasn't nothing." I gave Q a irritated look. He knew that was bullshit. "OK she sucked my dick a couple times but fa real that bitch was just looking for her next come up, and it ain't me you feel me. I slid her a few bucks every here and there."

I didn't respond to Q. I turned around and continued to clean. I passed out a drink to a customer. "You never think about the old T. That hood Brooklyn girl. Ever since Malachi took you you haven't been the same." "My life style changed. I went from projects to lavish living. I'm sorry you feel like i changed but i did what i needed to do to survive just like you did." I drunk the rest of my cranberry juice and i felt sick to my stomach.

"Just don't forget where you came from T. I made you." I turned back around and Q was gone. My head was killing me. I was ready to call it a night. "Trina you don't look so good. Something bothering you?" Frank asked me. "I don't know i think it's the baby." "Well go home. I'll finish the rest of your shift." "Thank you." I gathered my things and went to my car. I sat there for a minute before pulling off. When i got back home i could barely walk. I felt so weak. I dragged myself into the house then into my bedroom. I fell face down into my bed. Ring! Ring! I could hear my phone in my purse. I lifted myself up and got the phone. Everything was starting to be a blur. I looked at my phone and it was a text from Unknown.

UNKNOWN - Have fun tonight? I did.

I dropped the phone onto the floor. I didn't have time for his games tonight. I flipped over on my back and looked at the ceiling. I felt like i was drifting out of my body. My bed began to move as if someone was getting in. My body wouldn't let me get up. I felt like i was tied down. My eye's were closing but i didn't want them to. I could feel warm Masculine hands coming up my thighs. I struggled to see the face of my bed mate. "I never stopped loving you. That's why I had to continue to watch you. I was so angry when you got pregnant by that Nigga." I struggled to lift my head. He got closer. He began to pull down my jeans. The tears started rolling down my cheeks. "Stop it..." "Shhhhhhh." The man came up to my neck. As the voice got closer I knew who it was. He had to do something to my drink. I never thought Q would go this low. I looked into his eyes. "There you are T. Did you have fun tonight? I did." The same words of my stalker. "It was you?" "Bingo baby. Anymore questions before you fall fast to sleep?" Only if Chance could save me now. My eyes became weights. Now I was just a piece of meat. Q now had my life in his hands. Would he kill me? I guess we will have to see if I wake up.
