Chapter 1

Jazzy was watching the clock. Only two more hours, then she would be done working at the store, and she and her friend could go to the bar and finally relax. God knows they needed it. They both had worked over their forty-eight-hour workdays. The beginning of summer always made more hours for them because people would be calling out, so they could have fun. When Nikki called and said let us go to the bar on Friday, she jumped on it.

She found a cute dress to wear for the night. It was a light purple above the knee, low cut V-neck. With her hair left down and her make-up done, she would look hot. She was at the counter when the asshole from last night came in and seen her. “I knew I would find you again, why didn’t you want to drink with me last night? I would have made your night one to remember. People like you and I are made for one another, my missing piece.”

Laughing Jazzy said, “You do not even know my name, so why would I do anything with you? “I am Dan, and I would like you to come with me to find the things I need.” “Well, Dan, I am sorry, but I cannot move from my place from the counter. If you want, I can page someone for you.” “No, I said I want you to be the one to walk with me to get what I need.”

“Well, Dan, again I am sorry. I cannot move from this position because I am the only cashier today.” “I want your manager if you would be so kind…” “Please sir I was not trying to be rude. I am just not allowed to leave this spot.” “Well then if you will not call for him maybe I should make a scene?” Dan smiled as he said it so low. Looking down I said I was sorry once again, and he smiled at me and said, “Either you do as your told, or I will make a lot of problems for you no matter where you go.”

Not testing the waters with him I looked at him and said, “If I do not agree with you what could you possibly do and why would I stay around you?” Leaning into Jazzy Dan said in a low voice “wait and see”. Dan shouted for a manager and Joe came from the office and asked what the issue was. Dan said, “I would like to know why this young lady is not able to help me and why is it ok for her to refuse me of the assistance I ask for.”

Joe said, “I am sorry sir; I do not think Jazzy knows who you are. Jazzy you must help this gentleman; he is the owner of our company”. The color went from her face and she said, “Sorry Joe, I need a private word with you”. “After you help Dan!” Joe walked away from Jazzy leaving her with the man who said he could ruin her. When she looked at Dan with little color left on her face “what can I help you with sir?”

“Well, that is more like it, I need cable ties rope, and tape.” As she started to walk to the aisle, she could feel Dan grabbing her butt. “Please do not touch me, I might have to help you because you own this store and it seems people fear you, but I do not. I will not be sexually harassed.”

Jazzy did not bother to look at him, she could hear him make a noise like a growl in the back of his throat. She was sure he would indeed make her pay for that outburst and threat. When they get to the back-aisle Dan pushed her against the wall her hands above her head and kissed her. Jazzy tried her hardest to push him away from her but it was no good.

He took both of her hands into one of his and used his free hand to grab her right breast hard. She tried to scream but Dan covered her mouth once again with his. Jazzy knew she was in trouble when he started to rub himself up against her, he managed to take his hand up under her shirt and cupped her breast. She tried to fight him off, she was about to bite his lip when a man came to the rescue.

Jeff saw what was taking place and knew he had to stop it, so he walked over to the guy and pushed him off her. “I do believe the young lady does not want you to touch her.” Looking at the girl so scared Jeff took her from under the guy and told her to get her manager. Tears coming down her face she went to get Joe. Joe felt his heart break.
