The Demon Of Lust

1

I look around tapping my nails against the glass of sweet rosé. Where are they? I notice a man watching me and instantly get creepy vibes. I walk to the bathroom and notice him watching me. I quickly do my business and grab the switchblade out of my purse. I stick it in the front pocket of my jeans and place my hands in my pockets when I come out. I notice the man still watches me as I head back to the bar.

~1 Hour later~

I've been waiting for over an hour now and I haven't heard from them. I get up and see the man get up too. I pull out my phone and make it look like I'm checking a text, then I head back to the bar.

I take a quick perusal of the room and see the man waiting by the exit door. I also notice someone sitting in a dark booth in the darkest corner of the bar. I decide to take my chances and head over to the booth.

I ask,"Can I sit here?"

A gravelly voice says,"Sure, all seats are open."

I reply as I sit,"I'm sure that's not the only thing that's open- heh, sorry- just a little humor."

I notice the man has a skeleton face and it strangely doesn't bother me.

He says,"Well someone came prepared with jokes tonight. What's your name?"

I reply,"Demina, and you?"

He replies with a smirk,"Call me Agmos, baby."

I see movement out of the corner of my eye and nervously look to the side. My hand tightens on the switchblade in my pocket.

Agmos says,"I know you didn't come here to chat."

Agmos looks at where I'm looking before looking at me. I look at him and he doesn't seem happy.

He asks,"Some guy bothering you?"

I reply,"Umm y-yeah. He's been following me around all night. I was supposed to meet a friend, but they never showed up."

Agmos says,"Some friend you picked."

Agmos takes a drink as I ask,"You must think I'm another weak girl in a bar, huh?"

Agmos shakes his head as he says,"I never said that and I would never say that. Coming to someone for help doesn't make you weak. Whatever makes the fool go away, I don't mind being your friend for the night if that makes you feel safe."

I reply,"Would you? Please?"

Agmos smiles and says,"I gotchu."

I relax and Agmos and I chat. The bar begins to play some god awful end type of music and I groan.

Agmos asks,"What's wrong?"

I reply,"The music. It's just noise. I need some good stuff."

Agmos asks,"Like what?"

I reply,"Hmm...that depends...would you be willing to dance with me?"

Agmos smirks and takes his jacket off revealing the white t shirt underneath. He takes my purse from my hand and sets it underneath his jacket in the booth.

He says,"Normally, I don't dance."

I blush and say,"You don't have to."

Agmos replies,"Meh it's the same ole routine every night basically."

I reply,"My purse?"

Agmos says,"No one is gonna touch your stuff. Not when they see you're with me."

I nod and head to the dj. I quickly plug in the usb I carry with me and he begins playing the playlist I made. Southern Hospitality comes on and I grab a shot of whiskey from the bar. I throw it back and Agmos looks surprised.  I didn't realize how tall he was. He has to be at least 6ft. Fuck I'm short compared to him.
