the light in his dark

Part 5

After i dropped off Wendy i went to the bar for meeting with Fred. He text me because he had a call from Alvaro. 

While driving i think about Wendy. The way her hips move as she walks. The way she is shy and intimidating around me. I love having that effect. The way she was smiling around at dinner or when she was giggling in the car. I smile thinking about all of it. I usually dont go well with new people. I don't like meeting people except for business but i like Wendy. 

I walk inside the bar and spot Fred in a back corner of the bar. He already orders a drink for the both of us. I look at my left and see a group of guys really drunk. I'm not surprise because this place is really famous but it's expensive so it's not everybody who can come here. 

I sat on a chair beside Fred. He looks a little drunk. I think he is maybe at his 4th glasses. He better remember his phone call he was supposed to tell me. 

He gives me my drink "i'm not here to drink Fred. Explain" 

"Alvaro call me while you were at your dinner. He thought about it and decided to give us our shipment and we give him his. We make the exchange Saturday at 9am" 

"where" 

"The same place where he stole the shipment"

"Perfect. I want 15 armed men with us. 5 will stay outside to watch, 5 will go inside with me and Travis and you and the last 5 will go through the back in case he fucks us around"

He finishes his drink and starts mine He looks at me with wide eyes "that's all ?" 

"No of course no. He'll need a punishment for stealing." I smirk "I know he's going to sue us anyway to get his shipment back and mine so I want everyone to be prepared. The moment you feel he's going to attack You and the five men grab them from behind and I'll give him a little lesson" 

"Alright. I'll take care of everything tomorrow" 

"good" I was about to get up when one of the men's group falls on me. I grab him by the back of his neck and pin his face on the table. He squeals by surprise and groans when his face touches the table. His friends come toward me but Fred stands up and get out a knife from his shoes who makes his friends stop in their rush. 

"Wtf man get off of me" i grab his hair and throw his head back i grab his jaw to make him look at me. His nose is bleeding and i smile at him. Not a nice smile but a scary one. When he sees me he began to freak out because he knows me. Everybody know me. "i'm so sorry Mr Morretis i didn't know it was you. I fall because of the drink in the ground" 

I approach my head from him until my lips are in his ear " Next time i cut you lips to your ears and i cut you tongue so you couldn't drink anymore. Understand" He nods while crying. I laugh at his reaction and slaps his head one last time against the table before letting him go. He falls on the ground and his friends rush to pick him up before he goes out of the bar. 

"We have to celebrate. I'll buy you a drink" 

i turn toward Fred and he is really drunk at that point. he's laughing while calling a server. 

"Celabrate what ?" i ask annoyed 

"what you just did. Everytime you punch someonne or punish someone you drink after" 

"i told you i didn't came here to drink" i say while walking outside. I'm sure he will drinks for me. 

I walk with my gun in my hand. Travis is beside me and 5 men behind us. Like i say, 5 men stay outside and Fred and 5 other coming by the back. 

Yesterday Fred prepared everything and everyone. I had some meeting and phone call. I couldn't stop thinking about Wendy. I hope she founded my number in her pocket. When i was getting a coffe a saw her getting out of the studio where she dance. In the same place where i first saw her. She didn't saw me but i keeped an eye on her while she was getting home. I couldn't help myself, I had to make sure she was safe.
