posted up at a table in the back of my section with a coffee and a bunch of paperwork. Every time I would look up from being with a customer or walk back into the dining room with an order his creepy eyes were there, burning into me and undressing me with their evil gaze. I didn’t understand what the hell his problem with me was. It wasn’t like I had done anything to him directly. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time yesterday. And now I had to pay the price for that, for going to fucking work. The only thing he had on me was the fact that he had gotten hit in the face because of me with a pistol, but maybe he should have listened when Link told him what to do the first time. And I didn’t feel bad about that, I mean the guy was trying to fucking shoot me in the head. If it wasn’t for Link I would probably be dead right now. And who cared if I had fucked Link? Why the fuck did Jay care about that? It seemed like he had no problem getting any pussy, especially since he had a girl. She seemed like the type who kept his sexual needs well fed. Still, his obsession with hating me was creepy as fuck. Who sat in a corner stalking someone all day long as they worked? As the hours dragged on it seemed like his look of hatred seemed to grow more and more. I wanted to tell Link about it but I was scared. Who knew what Jay would do to me if he knew I was running around telling on him like a rat? I was a grown woman I should be able to handle business on my own. So why was my heart racing all day? Yeah, it was because Jay was one corny ass motherfucker, but it was more than that, too. What he had said to me about Link fucking mad girls had gotten to me as much as I had wanted it not to. It made no sense since I knew we didn’t have anything real, it was just sexual, and even the sexual part had only happened a few times. But it still got to me, almost made me jealous and I hated myself for it. Not to mention I didn’t want Link sticking his dick inside of me if he had just stuck it in some other girl a few hours before. I didn’t know how my already crazy life had gotten even crazier in such a short amount of time. But one thing was for sure; I needed to stop stressing the fuck out over it. It was taking up too much of my energy that was supposed to be focused on more important things. Like work, my little brother and sister, and bills. I had a real life and people to look after, I couldn’t be getting caught up in Link’s club or whatever else sketchy business him and his brothers were involved in. I didn’t want anything to do with that world; I wished I had never been in that supply closet at all. But if that were true why had I had sex with Link? And why had I gone back and had sex with him again today? God, something was seriously wrong with me. I needed my life back; one day of being caught up with Link was enough. I couldn’t be leaving work to go have hot sex in the middle of day, or pay extra for a babysitter to stay late so I could go on dinner dates with the scariest man in our city. And I definitely couldn’t have Jay always showing up to pretty much threaten me. It was pretty clear he wanted me dead and that knowledge was pretty scary for someone who had tried so hard to stay the fuck out of the street business. If I got killed my siblings would have no one and they came first. I was just going to have to go to dinner with Link and end whatever the fuck it was we had going on. It shouldn’t be that hard, we had only been fucking with one another for a few days. That meant nothing in his world. He had probably had drug deals that lasted longer than that. I was sure he would be pissed at first since his pride would be hurt but once I explained myself I was sure he would understand. He seemed like a somewhat reasonable human being. The key word being somewhat. I called home around dinner time and told the older woman who lived next door that if she watched the kids
