she is doing that’s why I just let her continue, it’s not going to harm me anyway.

After coloring my face, she took some rubber band from his bag then tied my hair up in a perfect ponytail.

“Look at you . . . you’re a babe now” she smiled proudly and handed me a square mirror.

I was hesitant to look at reflection, what if she was just fooling me or she turned me to a clown? Yeah, it’s given that she has been nothing but nice to me but she is good in kidding around.

“Wow who’s this chick?” I heard Keith’s voice getting inside the driver’s seat.

Nicole moved to her seat beside Keith and smirked at him.

“Well, that’s the new Jillian Winters” said Nicole

Keith glanced at me and smiled.

“Nice, you do have a really good choice” Keith comments

I didn’t get what he meant because I was mesmerized with the girl in front of me, she is so beautiful, her skin is so radiant, and her almond shape blue eyes were hypnotizing; the color blue eye color and mascara really did help to sexily pop her eyes. Her sharp pointed nose is just perfectly paired with her red pouting lips. I didn’t expect that I am that girl; I looked so different compared to the last time that I saw my own reflection. I look . . . hot and most importantly lively.

 

 

Twilight when we finally reach our destination, the town was so alive and I can’t help myself from smiling as we passed by the colorful street lights.

“Welcome to Miami Beach Florida!!!” Keith shouted.

Then Nicole kissed his lips as he continues to drive. My heart beats so fast when Keith pulled over in front of huge house.

“We’re here” he said as he turned the engine off.

Nicole looked at me and smiled, we excitedly got off the car and followed Keith as he made his way inside the huge house.

The place is so beautiful inside; the living room was very classy with the huge red couch that looks so comfortable to sit in. There is also a round glass table in the center and a huge flat screen TV hanging on the wall.

“Make yourselves comfortable” he said as he enters the kitchen I think.

Nicole and I sat on the couch and I was right, it seems like all my stresses were taken away by the soft fabric.

“Is this his house?” I whispered to her.

She shrugged her shoulders, I forgot to ask her where did her meet Keith cause it seems like she barely know him. Keith came back inside the living room with three cans of Sprite on his hand. He threw each one of them to us.

He sat beside Nicole and wraps his arm on her shoulder.

“Nice house, are we staying here?” asked Nicole.

“Yeah nice house” he nods “And no you’re not staying here”

Nicole nods in embarrassment while I sat there and quietly sipping my drink.

“I’ll show you your place tomorrow so you will be staying here tonight” he said.

Nicole nods again. I am wondering why Keith is so nice to us. Obviously he and Nicole are just casual hook ups. But why did he pick us up, paid for our food and motel, letting us stay at his place for the night and tomorrow he is even giving us a new place. Why would he want to take care of two jobless high school seniors?

I don’t know why but I started to feel completely strange about this whole set up. Honestly this isn’t what I expected when we got here and there’s only one person that can give answers to my questions; Nicole.

After dinner Keith brought us to the guest room where we are staying for the night. He said he is too tired to play with Nicole so we are sleeping together tonight which I actually liked because I’ll be able to talk to her about who Keith really is.

I was sitting on the bed, my back rested on the head board waiting for Nicole to come out of the shower. The room is so nice, the ambiance is soothing, Keith really have a good taste when it comes to furniture; the room is big, the walls are painted with white and blue striped, the floor is fully carpeted, there is a big blue couch on the side of the room and the queen size bed that’s very soft and cozy. There’s also another flat screen TV that’s a smaller than the one in the living room hanging on the wall opposite the bed.

“You were right the water is so cold” Nicole said as she tip toed from the bathroom.

I took shower first and I told her that it was so cold but it relaxes the nerves. She put her pajama and dried her hair using the towel.

“Why is Keith giving us a place?” I asked.

She stopped drying her hair, not expecting that I will ask such question. Now, I can feel that she is hiding something from me.

“B-because I told him our situation” she answered trying to avoid my gaze.

I don’t believe her, don’t get me wrong I do appreciate everything she had done for me cause if it wasn’t for her maybe I am still in St. Louis now but I need to know what’s really going on.

“Why on earth would he want to help two troubled teenagers who escaped from home? No offense” I said “But I need to know the truth”

She sighed, put the towel on the couch and sat beside me.

“Alright! You caught me” she started as going under the covers

I stayed quiet and I waited for her to settle on the bed. She sat on the bed with the same position I have. My eyes remained on her.

“I wasn’t planning to say anything until tomorrow but since you already knew I am hiding something let me tell you the whole story.”

I still didn’t say anything; I want to hear what she is going to say.

“I met Keith at a bar in St. Louis, he was cute and rich and old, well old enough for our kind” she said, I listened “And he told me that he owns a bar in Miami Beach and he is looking to get some talents”

I was confused.

“Talents? Is this a strip club or something?” I asked.

I am trying so hard to understand what is really going on, cause if Keith owns a strip club there is no way in hell that I am working with him. I came here all the way from Missouri to be free and start a new life.

“No!” she shook her head. “He’s a bar owner and he wants waitress from different states with different cultures” she explained.

“We are in America, we have the same culture” I said.

“Yeah, but the state culture thingy you know, and so as I was saying, he offered me a job ad asked me to bring friends who are interested”

I looked at her.

“And you thought of me?”

She nods.

“Why me?” I asked. “You said we weren’t friends”

She shrugged her shoulders.

“I don’t know, maybe because you are the only person I know who is so desperate to leave town. . .” she answered and I smiled.

I reached for her hand.

“Thank you” I whispered.

“Welcome” then she embraced me. “Okay let’s stop this drama and have some sleep, I can’t wait to check the beaches here” she squealed.

I nodded and lied myself down the bed. I also turned the lamp off that was on my side.

“Goodnight” I whispered.

“Sure” 

Then I close my eyes and completely found my slumber.

 

 

Chapter Three

“Stay away from me!” I screamed.

I was running so fast that I don’t even know where I am going, all I know is I need to go away as far as I can or else he’ll reach me. I don’t know how he found me, I thought after going away I can finally be free from him.

I turned around to see if he is still following me and I was able to breathe when I didn’t see him. I didn’t stop running but I bumped into something hard.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

He was there in front of me holding my arms with a tight grip. My eyes widened in horror, my whole body is frozen and I was shaking terribly. How on earth did he get there? He was just behind me, this isn’t happening.

“Help!!!” I screamed.

He laughed like a devil.

“Do you think someone will hear you?”

I looked around and all I saw was nothing but water and sand. No one was even there.

“No one will help you” he whispered to my ear.

Then he pulled my hair and started dragging me to the water, I cried in pain, I feel like my hair is being ripped from my head. I tremble when I felt the cold water on my feet, then on my knees and on my waist.

I lost my breath when he started to drown my head on the water. I reached for his hand as I to gasp for air, I feel like anytime now I am going to die.

“Jillian!!!!”

I opened my eyes as I chase my breath.

“You were dreaming” said Nicole.

I embraced her as I realized it was all a dream, thank god I was only having a nightmare.

“He was here” I cried.

I was so afraid, I thought I was going to die, I thought he really did find me. I don’t wanna go back there again.

“Shhh. . . He’s not here, he is gone and he will never ever find you I promise” she said.

I stayed in her arms for a bit longer than I expected, it was nice to know that I have Nicole with me. She makes me feel protected and it lessens the fear that I feel every time I remember Dan.

After breakfast we dressed up cause Keith is bringing us to our place. 10 minutes has passed when he stopped at a huge house, when I said huge it’s really big, even bigger than his place so I really doubt if we are staying there.

I looked at Nicole trying to figure out what’s going on but it seems like she was clueless like me.

We both shrugged our shoulders as we followed Keith inside the house; we were surprised from what we saw cause it didn’t look like a house inside, it wasn’t a house at all. After the main door, you have to pass by a much smaller door than the main before we were able to get inside the place.

As you passed by second door, it wasn’t a living room that you will find; in fact there is no living area anywhere the place. All you see are chairs and tables, bar stools, a huge stage in the center with a pole on it, disco lights, and a huge set of sound system. It wasn’t a house but it was a bar, a very cozy and expensive bar.

“Welcome to my kingdom” Keith said to us.

We smiled at him, still confused of what’s happening.

“Keith”

I almost jumped from where I was standing when a tall pale skinned guy walked towards us, he came from the back of the stage, I think.

Keith shook his hand.

“Nate, man how are you?”

“I’m fine man” said the guy. “Where have you been?”

The guy looks the same age as
