As soon as we arrived at the bar, it was around 19:47 I also received a phone call, my cell was in my back pocket at the time and I had to remove my hand gloves in order to retrieve it.
Jessica made a joke before I could answer the phone call "seems like we work at a non paying call center" as she shyly laughed,
I got the phone out of my pocket and it was dad and I thought "what if he changed his mind about us coming here and he wants me back home"
I stared at the caller id for a while and ignored the call up until it went to voicemail, I then listened to the voice message left by dad "Hey sweetheart, you are not answering my phone call so I assume that states that you're now at the bar and you're having way too much fun with Jessica to pick up your phone, oh well I just hope Jessica's uncle is looking out for the both of you. I love you...no we love you both me and your mom. enjoy yourself but don't over do it, we are going to sleep and we will leave the door unlocked for you because you could come back late."
Jessica was listening besides me busy laughing "wow, your dad still treats you like a kid Lizzy" as she continued to laugh on...
The bar was full like it wasn't a weekday but most people get paid on fridays so it is reasonable. The bar was getting small renovations there and there in the aim of turning it into a club in order to attract the youth, so there was a round edged sofa by the corner surrounding an empty styled champagne bucket built in the table that was unoccupied, Jessica pointed it out "hey, Lizzy that corner table has no one occupying it let's go there" I was not a big alcohol fan so I told Jessica I would opt for ice water with lemon but Jessica bought a lemon flavoured Ciroc bottle of vodka and placed it in the champagne bucket filled with ice then came with the glasses I usually see on t.v. used to take vodka shots.
She opened the bottle and said "well here's is your lemon, only this one is for big girls, you're a big girls ain't you? Let's drink up"
I thought about it and I thought "why not, one shot with my best friend won't kill me" so we both took shots.
In that one gulp I could feel my ears and heart burning up and the same time, I then developed a small headache.
Jessica on the other side was laughing like she was pumping her adrenaline, then she said "here comes the second one, are you ready?" As she poured the vodka into the glasses... I then stopped her and said "well Jessica, see; I don't really drink and I don't think I will be able to handle myself really well if we continued drinking, I thought we came to this bar to catch up not to drown sorrows that don't exist like those old men over the counter" as I pointed at some usuals who drank as if their life's depended on it.
Jessica gave me a smug and said "I'm going to the ladies room"
She picked her bag and left...she came back after
10 minutes or so, by then it was already 21:50 Two guys wearing black suits approached us and asked to buy us drinks, Jessica was so delighted and accepted the offer
I was feeling unease and asked to be excused as I moved into an empty seat from the corner to the
bar counter and finally tried to order that ice water with lemon
But the other guy followed me before I could do that, he introduced himself as Josh, I found his name funny and didn't pay him any valuable attention as I was not interested...I had a boyfriend that I had met at varsity on my first semester his name is Christian, he is a pretty smart guy that's one of the qualities that made me fall in love with him, besides Josh was pretty much older to be my big brother, Josh asked what I wanted to order and I told him "ice water with lemon" he placed my order to the bartender and I received the drink, the water was very cold since it was already winter and I was holding the glass barehanded without my gloves, Josh suggested red wine and i ended up ordering it but before I could drink it I had to leave Josh there to head to the toilet to fix myself up when I came back Jessica was no longer on that corner couch but Josh was still awaiting me, I took a sit and quenched one sip from my wine and asked him "where's my friend and your friend?"
Josh looked at me with a smile and said "you will forget about her soon" I responded "what do you mean?" And my headache kicked in hard and I felt drowsy "what have you done to me?" The last words I could say before hitting my head on the bar counter, the next thing I remember Is seeing an Audi, the other guy and being placed in a car trunk.
