Island Blues and Greens- VegasPete

Chapter 5

I keep tossing and turning and I can't sleep. How can I let that psychopath do that to me? And why did my body react like that?

I do not even like men but I came anyway. Shia! Whatever. At least I got his word for it. Grandma's not going to get harmed. I don't know why but his words assured me. Somehow.

One more thing that's keeping me awake is what he said. Why is he getting followed? Is it really the main family? If it is, what would they want from him? I guess it's because they don't trust him enough. I guess they're afraid he would still do something behind their backs.

I don't think he is although I can't be sure. What I can be sure of is what he did behind me a few hours ago.

Shia, why am I thinking like this?!

All these thoughts are making me crazy.

Let bygones be bygones!

It has already happened. What's important is that my grandma is okay and that it doesn't have to happen again.

I also feel guilty. I told him it was me who sneaked into his room and even threw Khun Kinn under the bus. Khun Kinn, I'm sorry. It will never happen again. I didn't mean to reveak a confidential mission. I was just in a tough situation.

Damn it! I really can't sleep. I look at the time to see it's already five am. I should just work out. I'm just going to go for a walk. I'll get to sleep when I'm too tired from exercising.

I make sure all the doors and windows are locked and checked grandma's room.

Grandma! Oh no, she's not in here!

"Grandma! Grandma!!! Where are you?" Shia, I haven't slept a wink but I did not hear anyone from outside. Where's she?

My senses became heightened as I go back to my room to grab the gun under my pillow. It better not be you, Vegas. I'll kill you even if I die right after.

I run outside my gate to climb up Vegas' without making a sound. I hold my gun securely as I walk around the outside portion of his house listening for sounds that could be clues. It would not be smart to barge in right away because I don't know how many people are inside.

"Nooo!" I hear my grandma yell and my heartbeat goes haywire. I'm going to kill this asshole!

"Grandma, don't be so strict about this. It's the same no matter how much you flip it around." I hear Vegas' voice. What is happening?

"Ah, I can't believe how bad you are!" Grandma, I warned you before!

I want to cry but I still try to listen some more for clues that there are other people around.

"You're so dumb Khun Lawh! Even dumber than Pete!"

" I told you to put the onions before the chilli!" Grandma was scolding him like she scolds me. What's happening? Are they cooking?

"Ouch! Why are you smacking me? I did it as you said!" Vegas complains.

What's happening? Grandma's teaching him how to cook? And she smacked him? Grandma, don't do it! He's gonna kill you.

I wonder if I should come in or wait outside until Vegas tries anything funny.

"Grandma, didn't Pete tell you to avoid me?" Vegas asks

"Yeah, he's no fun! No fun at all. Tsktsk"

I can't believe this is the woman I sacrificed my ass for.

"Do you know, he even bribed me to stay away from you?" Vegas asks. Son of a bitch! He better not say anything. Shit. I feel all my blood rush to my face.
