It was only yesterday that you had gone to the theatre and ran into your stalker for the first time. He'd been sending you messages, showing you exactly how he was going to find you but you either didn't care or you didn't take it seriously. That was until I showed up at the movies.
Now, I hear you are going out to get drinks with your friends tonight? I thought you'd be smarter than that. You're stalker is clearly in town and you are going to be so reckless... maybe you need to learn a few harder lessons in life in order to take it a bit more seriously.
Reckless. Just reckless. Now you aren't even taking an uber -- you should have scheduled that earlier. Oh well, this will be easier to follow you at least, your car is pretty easy to spot. It's a cute little blue Audi S4 -- a stark contrast to the typical run down vehicles of the area.
Curious though, you don't go straight to a bar. You've stopped at a house not too far away, about 10 minutes drive. I watch as you maneuver yourself out of your car, your long blond hair messy and framing your face perfectly as you step out and shut the door. I see you do a quick scan of your surroundings -- is that a hint of fear I see? Ah, so you do at least acknowledge that I might be here, watching you right now. Good.
After several minutes, somebody emerges from the house, a woman -- she looks a little similar to you but she's a brunette. Another car shows up -- this time it is an uber. It looks like your friend had a little better sense to get an uber ahead of time on a busy Friday night. I watch as the two of you laugh and get into the vehicle and begin to drive away towards the bar. I follow -- unconcerned with the occupants realizing that I've been following them for the past 15 minutes. This isn't like the movies -- some people just happen to take the same roads for miles and no uber driver is going to take a bunch of back turns just to see if I'm following.
The uber pulls up along a sidewalk, cracked and in desperate need of repair, and waits for the occupants to disembark -- your legs peep out from the side of the vehicle followed by the rest of your body. For a moment, my breath hitches and I'm consumed with the thought of being right there next to the car... with your legs spread wide for me. Later. I remind myself. Later.
I watch as you and your friends enter into the bar -- it's not exactly rundown but it doesn't look very fancy either. The outside is brick with graffiti and there is a homeless man sleeping on the ground off to the side. This is not the kind of place I would think you'd be going.. I keep my distance as I follow you into the bar.
It's even smaller inside than the outside, a thin layer of smoke clings to the ceiling -- threatening to choke anybody taller than 6 feet. I can hear the clacking of pool balls being racked and others being driven into their pockets by drunken hands smoking cigarettes. I spot you not too far from the bar and it would appear as though you've already captured the attention of some young buck... as long as he keeps his hands to himself, everything will be alright.
