Monster in my Bed

Chapter 2- Stranger Danger

I woke up tucked into my bed and in a tank top and some booty shorts.

When did I change clothes? I thought as my feet hit the shag carpet. Shredder came trotting into my room and Ross followed after him.

"You ok babes? You were talking all sorts of stuff in your sleep about some guy. Sounded kinda hot if I'm honest." He said as he sat on my bed.

Was it all just a dream? Ross handed me a bowl of cereal and I looked at the time. I cursed and sat the bowl down and began to rip clothes off me, not caring about Ross. I quickly got dressed in a hoodie, some leggings, and slipped into my black leather boots. I grabbed an apple and ran out the door to the parking lot.

Getting in my truck I raced to the bookstore. I ran inside and saw my co worker, Nia, smirking.

"Overslept sweetie?" She asked. Nia was in her early thirties but acted as if she were in her eighties. I nodded and put on the apron with the store's logo on it. The bookstore was open twenty four hours which was nice because I could come here whenever I was stressed and just relax and talk to customers.

I walked around the store and helped a few customers locate books. I walked up to the cashier's stand and began to look up to see which books were selling most.

A young guy with pale skin and brown hair. He was very familiar but I couldn't quite place where from. He had a stack of classics in his hand and my eyes were immeadiatly drawn to Hobbit, Sherlock Holmes, Little Women, and Moby Dick.

"That's quite a few classics, sir. Normally people like you like comics or pornish stuff. " I say as I ring the books up. When I realize what I said my jaw drops and I drop the book I'm holding. I look up and see him looking at me sternly, the way a father would look at a misbehaving child.

"I'm so sorry sir, please forgive me. I didn't mean to assume. I'm so sorry." I say while blushing. He put his finger under my chin and forced me to look up at him.

"Be careful who you insult baby girl." He said, his cold look boring into me. He had a strange accent, it was American but not quite, it was laced with something forgien

"Y-Yes sir. S-Sorry sir." I said and finished ringing up his books. I told him the price, he paid me then left. I felt weird after he left, like he was breathing on my neck or something, that was silly though.

After work I drove home and began to unlock my apartment when I felt something cold dripping down my back. I turned and saw nothing. That dream that I had really set me on edge. I shivered, ever since that dream I felt as though someone was actually stalking me. I felt like I was a little doe, waiting to be pounced on by the ravenous wolf.

I shook the feeling off as I entered my apartment and Shredder came bounding up to me. Ross quickly followed with a mischeavious glint in his blue eyes.

"Put this on, and meet me in the bathroom in ten minutes." He said, shoved a glittery blue dress, and some black heels towards me. I knew what this meant, Ross had found a new club he wanted to visit. I walked into my room and changed into the clothes Ross had given me. I checked myself out in the mirror and shrugged, I didn't look too bad.

I walked into the bathroom. Ross sat me down on on a little stool and began to do my makeup. He put on dark blue eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow after putting on foundation, concealer, and blush. Lastly he applied some pale pink lip gloss and began to straighten my hair.

Once we were ready we put Shredder in his crate and called a cab. We gave the driver directions to a new club called Rogue 22. Once we got to the club we thanked the driver and payed him before waiting in the long line. Apparently tonight was the grand opening. Somehow through some cousin or something Ross managed to get us in.
