VegasPete : The Way You Taste

9 - Dark angel

Vegas POV

"Nop, how hard is it to get rid of a main family bodyguard without it becoming a problem?"

"Maybe not too hard..."

"Good "

"As long as...two requirements are met..."

"Which are...?"

"...not being Khun Tankhun's bodyguard or Pete's friend."

"..."

"Well, it's not the case, right? haha. Arm and Pol are good people. Arm helped a lot when Khun Vegas was unconscious. Such a loyal friend..."

Nop, you talk too much.

"Leave."

I ended up stabbing my 18th century desk with the knife that I was playing with my fingers.

...

There were missed calls from Pete during the morning and afternoon. I decided not to answer him until late afternoon. It may be childish of me, but I decided to do to him what he did to me the night before. Then I returned home from the office to get ready.

"Can I go with you? I've never been in that kind of club before! Please!

"I don't think it's the ideal place for you, Macau"

"I promise I won't bother you. I promise!"

"Okay. But any sign of problem, you get out in a second, do you hear me? Nop and the other guys will be waiting outside".

"Cool! Thanks, Bro! I promise! Wow, is that true Phi Pete will be undercovered along Arm? I met Chay this morning at school. 

"Pfft. A secret mission turned into student gossip."

"Don't be mad, Bro. I swear we were careful." 

"He told me Arm is already quite different from his ordinary self...haha"

"Why?"

"Apparently crazy first cousin has done some kind of makeover on him and he is getting a lot of attention in the mansion. But I think he is quite an attractive guy already. I wonder what they have done with him. He must have been embarrassed...haha"

"You seem to know him quite well."

"Hmm. Arm helped to guard me when you were in the hospital. He is so clever and easygoing. He is quite fun. I like him a lot"

What? Even my little brother seems to have a crush on the guy?!

"How do you not know him well, brother? Phi and Arm are so close friends. They are always together..."

"...sure they are..."

How have I never paid attention to that before? I feel so stressed right now.

Pete POV

"Vegas?! You finally took my call!"

"What do you want? I'm busy." 

"I'm sorry I haven't called you last night. I was really focused on a lot of matters...I..."

"That was pretty obvious."

"I'll repeat myself. I ended up sleeping in Arm's room when it was already dawn. We were studying all the documents you sent us...I already told you that. Do not misunderstand. Arm is my friend."

"A close friend, I know."

"Are you understanding what I'm saying?

"Are you finished?"
