Annayees
I have a a couple of hours until work, so i figured I would study for my finals coming up in a couple of weeks in the library. I attend the community college here. I try to keep busy, I don’t want to go home to see my father drink his life away. Plus he loves to fight when he’s drunk so I rather not deal with him.
“Hey, do you want to party this weekend?” I hear my friend Drake whisper towards me.
“ Not this weekend, got stuck working opens this weekend. Next time” I whispered back. He winked at me and went back to studying, he’s a cute guy. He use to be the all star player before he got caught sniffing drugs off one of the cheerleaders butt in the woman restroom before the game in high school. He grew out of it most of it. He’s this tall and stocky man with blonde curly hair, he has blue eyes that can suck you in. He’s cute for a one night stand. Than again I don’t due relationship, especially when I am trying to leave this place. I live in this small town, right below these beautiful mountains. The only good thing about this town is the mountain trails and the great dance clubs. I look at my phone and realize the time, I need to get going if I want to make it in time for work. I put my stuff in my bag when all of the sudden I felt this weird feeling in my heart and soul, I started to feel a burning sensation through my body. Like my body is filling up with electric wave, my body tingling with lust. All of the sudden I yell out “ he’s here” I was in shock when I said that. Drake look up at me and said “ what did you say? Who’s here?” oh s**t.
“Um nothing, don’t worry about it. I got to go. Bye!” I tell him grabbing my bag off the table and running out the door. “I don’t understand? Who’s here and why did I get horny all of the sudden?” Work is only five minutes down the street not that far from the campus. “What is going on with me I have never felt that, not even when I hit puberty.” I’m almost to work, I work at a coffee shop called Hazels Coffee Shop. We call it “the shop” well the employees who work there do. I reach for the door and all the sudden the door swings open.
“Oh s**t” I yell out. I almost got hit by the door
“Oh my, Annayees I am so sorry” it is Jake one of our regulars here. Him and his wife often come they are real nice couple, Jake is tall with dark blonde hair with blue eyes. And his wife Cindy is about his height and she is a brunette long and curly, with blue eyes also.
“Way to go dummy you almost knocked out the best barista here” I hear Cindy scolding Jake.
“I said I was sorry hun” I hear Jake say
“ I am fine don’t worry about it, and the door never hit me. And Jake did apologize, so everything is good” I tell Cindy, I need to get into work before I am late.
“ Good that you are O.K. don’t want anything to happen to you. How’s school going? Aren’t you almost done?” Cindy ask me, Cindy is in her late thirties and she’s a high school teacher. So she’s always seems to be interested in my schooling.
“Yeah almost done. This is my last semester, and it’s going great.” I tell her trying to walk around them both so I can go inside.
“Come on hunny she doesn’t want to be late for work. We’ll see you later Annayees, and sorry again for almost knocking you over with the door.” Jake grabbed Cindy hand and pulled her out the way.
“Thanks, I’ll see you guys around” I grabbed the door trying to keep it open. I walk into the shop and I see my boss and best friend, she’s been my boss first and then we became close and became best friends. Jessica has dark brown hair very long and she’s pretty tall, she has that pale white skin tone with brown eyes.
“Oh my, are you O.K.? I seen that you almost died” Jessica ask me.
“Yes ma’am I am O.K. and it was only a door” as I walk around the counter. I see Jessica narrow her eyes at me.
“Well I am glad you’re fine, but call me ma’am again I’ll destroy your favorite shoes” she hates it when I call her ma’am it make her feel so old. She’s only a few years older than me. I laughed
“Yes boss” she continued with those narrow eyes but then started smiling. I took that as she have forgiven me. I turn around to clock into the computer. I turn around to look at her.
“Now that I have forgiven you, I need you to do a favor for me. Can you watch the shop so I can run some errands?” Jessica ask me with puppy eyes.
“Puppy eyes, there is a catch?” I know there is a catch.
“Victor ask me out for an early bird special” she still has those puppy eyes. Victor is her fiancé, she’s getting married in a few months. I get to be the maid of honor without the duties. That was the only way I agreed to be maid of honor.
“Fine, but you owe me remember that” I tell her.
“Yes of course!” She seem happier after I agreed.
“Now that I have finally gotten that over with, what’s up? How’s life with dad these couple of days?” She knows my story, she knows how I sneak around him with this job. He doesn’t want me to have a job, he wants me to be dependent on him. I’ve been working here since I started college, three years now.
“ Same s**t different day, although I have noticed him on the phone more often these past few days. He might of found a new girlfriend.” My dad has a new girl every other month or if he likes the girl it will last about six months. They’re all alcoholics like him though.
“Maybe this one will distract him from trying to take his anger at you” Jessica looks very worried.
“I look like my mother, he will always take his anger out on me” I’m telling her the truth, my father always abused my mother when she was alive, now she’s gone so I have replaced my mother’s spot.
“I hate when you talk like that! Well.. do you need me to stop by my house and grab you some clothes?” Jessica ask me. I keep all my stuff That have bought with my own money, at Jessica house. Just so my dad doesn’t find out that I have a job. I opened a bank account as soon as a received my first check. I keep my debit card at work in the office safe, Jessica let’s me keep it here. I grab it every morning and leave it here before heading home. I don’t want my dad to find it.
“Yeah that will be great, I’ll bring over the other outfits this weekend.” I tell her, Jessica was getting ready to leave. She wave at me bye, and walked out it’s like three in the afternoon. I went into the locker to get ready for work, we’ve gotten a small rush and made two hours past real quick. I’ve decided to take my break early, I get an hour break today because I’ve decided to work a eight hour shift. My dad doesn’t notice that I have a job, as soon as I became a teenager I rebelled. I gotten into trouble and I have been partying ever since, but I did kept my grades up. I think that’s why he doesn’t say much about me getting into trouble and stuff because I was still a straight A student. That or he’s proud that his daughter is following his footsteps, which I am not I only drink and party on the weekends. I clocked out for break and went into my locker to grab my phone and book. I sat down on one of the tables that are facing the counter next to the lockers. So I can see the counter in case they get busy and need my help.
I’ve been fifteen minutes into my book when I start getting this electric sensation go through my body, my heart began to race. “What the f$&k is this, I don’t understand this?” All of the sudden a hear the bell to the door, meaning someone is entering or leaving. I didn’t look up right away, I am still feeling this electric lust running through my body, I am in shock trying to figure out the motive. My heart is starting to pound even louder and faster, all of the sudden my head tells me to look up so I did, I looked right into these gorgeous green eyes looking right at me they are starting to get dark. He looks handsome, he has dark brown hair a Mohawk, really short on the sides and long on top. Very muscular like he likes to work out, in business attire. My body wants to get close to him, wants to pull him in. “What the f$&k! Why?” I don’t even know that guy. I see him staring at me with want, and that drove my body even crazier. I look at his face and I see his smirk and I know he knew what he was doing to me. I need to get out of here. I grab my book and ran into the lockers, I didn’t even look back. I knew if I did I would probably run towards him. I stayed in the locker rooms for like twenty minutes, I figured if I stay here long enough he’ll be gone. Ten minutes until I have to clock back in for work. “Man I hope he’s gone.” I open the door of the locker room. There is no sign of him, I walk out slowly like I am not trying to scare a stray animal off. I looked around the shop, O.K. he’s gone. As soon as I said that to myself Liz pops out of nowhere and startles me.
“Hey Annayees, what are you doing” Liz ask me.
“Nothing don’t worry about it, what are you doing? who’s watching the counter?” I ask her trying to keep her from asking any questions.
“Don’t worry there is no customers here, plus we’re right next to the counter.” She tells me walking towards the counter.
“Actually I just wanted to give you this, some cute guy told me to give it to you” as she reaching out a business card to me. I took the card from her and it only says Castello Inc. and it has a phone number.
“What exactly did he say?” I ask her, did that stranger give her this before he left?
“He just hand me this card and said give this to the cute girl who ran off to the locker room” my face turned red, it was him who gave her this card.
“ Are you going to call him?” Liz is a cute senior in high school, and very nosy.
“Don’t worry about it and get to work woman” I tell her as I put in my apron. Jessica has finally returned to work and she asked me what had she missed. I told her what happen to me, when a complete stranger came through those doors.
“Oh wow, a strange man made Annayees the wild child go crazy in love.” Jessica say giggling.
“Shut up, I am not in love” I tell her pushing her playfully.
“O.K. I brought you some clothes and actually put in some cute outfits” as she hands me a bag full of clothes.I just gave her a semi angry look and just let it go. It’s almost time for our late rush, we need to get ready.
After rush was over and I have only one hour until I am off. I don’t feel like going home, I have no idea what kind of mood my dad is in. In a piss off mood or in a bad mood? After I was done cleaning up I clocked out and went to change out of my work close. After I was done I walk up to Jessica, she still had two hours left until she was off.
“You can stay at my house tonight if you don’t want to go home” Jessica ask me.
“No I have to go home he’ll blow up my phone if I am not home” knowing my dad, if he doesn’t have some control over me he’ll have the biggest rampage until I agree to his terms. After a while I finally stop fighting him I knew I won’t be under his roof for long.
“O.K. If he freaks out on you, just come by the house.” Jessica giving me a smile.
“Thanks babe, I’ll talk to you later” imI tell her. With that I walked out the shop and walked home. I only live fifteen minutes away from the shop, it’s the longest way home. Gives me time to think. I am still confuse with that whole burning with lust for a man I know nothing about, but he’s also noticed me too. I don’t under stand this strong connection to him. Even I have no idea who he is, it feels like I have known him my entire life. I have arrived home, for some reason it didn’t take long at all. As I reach for the door knob I hear my dad talking to someone, he must be on the phone with someone. All of the sudden I hear a female voice. “Great my dad brought his new girlfriend to meet the daughter. S**t, there is no way around this.” I walk inside.
“Hey there she is, my beautiful princess” my dad said introducing me to his girlfriend.
“Baby girl this is Stephanie my new friend” I know he meant girlfriend.
“Hi Annayees I have heard so much about you” I bet. She means all the lies my dad told her about me. I just stare at her trying to read her, my dad creeps up closer to me and whispers.
“You better be nice otherwise I’ll stop feeding you” Father of the year everyone, little does he know I make my own money. I rolled my eyes at him and greeted Stephanie.
“Hi Stephanie, it’s nice to meet you. Please excuse me I need to do some homework and head to bed.” I gave her a fake smile nod.
“That’s my good girl, now go on to your bedroom” My dad tells me. I hate when he calls me a good girl, it’s like he’s praising his dog. I turn around and head for the kitchen to grab a bottle of water so I don’t have to get out of my room for something to drink later. As I reach into the fridge I notice my dad is out of beer. “S**t, I better run off to bed quick before he flips out.” I grab my water and closed the fridge and ran towards my bedroom. Ten minutes later I hear my dad flipping out. He has discovered he is out of beer, I feel bad for that Stephanie girl. She gets to see my real angry father, s**t if he doesn’t come down he’ll be coming into my room to take out his anger. F$&k! All of the sudden I hear furniture being tossed and beer bottles being broken, damn here he comes... All of the sudden I hear Stephanie voice.
“Jesse calm down, we’ll head to the bar and drink before the bar closes, then we’ll stop and get more beer for later” Stephanie tells my dad. Wow Stephanie is a smart one.
“That sounds like a good idea, why in the f$&k haven’t you said something earlier” I hear my dad angrily telling her. I hear them walking towards the front door. I’ll wait a bit before getting up to make sure the door is locked. I hear his car pull off, I got up from my desk and head out my room. I see the front room destroyed. “I am definitely not cleaning this up.” I made sure the door is locked, went back to my bedroom. Put on a t-shirt and boxer shorts, climbed into bed and stared at my ceiling until I fell into a deep sleep.
