Life doesn't get any better

Sam wandered the streets trying to make some sense of the situation he found himself in, and more importantly trying to work out some way out of it. If he interfered, or didn't do as John instructed then his bully would cause him total humiliation which would likely see him discarded by all he loved and cared for. If he didn't somehow stop it then he would be **** to witness John use and **** Ellie in ways he didn't want to imagine. Whilst there was a chance Ellie would come to her senses and put a stop to things, all signs pointed to her being infatuated with her new lover.

He knew he needed something to keep his mind occupied, and fortunately he had a shift at the bar to get to. The afternoon shift was often not as busy as the evening one, but with Dwayne and Karl on in the kitchen and Steve covering the bar and tables with him at least they would help distract him if things were quiet.

The first couple of hours slipped by, but as Sam was putting away a load of glasses a familiar voice summoned him. "Hey there step bro" Ellie called out to him "I've got someone I'd like you to meet.... this is my new boyfriend, John"

Sam's heart sunk. New boyfriend.... could today get any worse? John fixed him with a stare that told him how he had to behave.

"Yeah, we kind of knew each other at school. I didn't realise he would be lucky enough to get a girlfriend as cool as you" he replied, trying to keep up a friendly facade.

"Oh... if anyone is lucky around here it's me!" a big smile emerged on Ellie's face "Anyway can we grab a couple of beers?"

"Sure, go grab a table and I'll bring them over to you" Sam told them, hoping it wasn't obvious he was trying to get rid of them.

He breathed deeply as he poured the beers. Just smile and treat them like any other customer he told himself. John might be an idiot but if he tried anything on to embarrass Sam in front of Ellie it would completely backfire on him. He placed the beers on a tray and set off to deliver them.

Sam found John and Ellie at table twelve. Table twelve being it's official name, but staff had long ago rechristened it the make out table - due to the fact that it's location meant it was out of eye line of the main bar, and as such couples would settle in at the table and get amorous under the shroud of invisibility they believed this gave them. John and Ellie were already living up to the table's reputation, their lips locked and John's hand pushing Ellie's skirt up as he explored her thigh whilst Sam silently left their beers for them.

As he moved to the neighbouring table to clear away some used glasses he heard Ellie suddenly gasp.

"Oh my god, you can't do that to me here" she pleaded

"If you didn't want this you should have worn some underwear when you came out" John rebutted

"But what if someone sees us?"

"Well that's the thrill isn't it"

Quietly Sam backed away, making sure they didn't notice he'd been listening in on their conversation. It was bad enough having John coming into his home and corrupt Ellie, but now he was having to put up with it at work as well. And from John's warning he knew there was nothing he could do stop them.

He left the glasses at the bar and came into the kitchen to compose himself, where he found Dwayne, Karl and Steve crowded around the security monitor.

"You have got to come and see this!" Karl excitedly told him
