VegasPete: NEVER NOT YOURS

SEVENTEENTH • Never Not Yours

["You have a mission tonight."]

"Tell me the details."

Vegas looked in Pete's direction when he heard him speak. Pete just smiled at him as he prepared to leave to go home.

"Take care, I won't go to the university today." Pete said to Vegas before finally leaving the room, and the Theerapanyakul's house.

Pete still had his phone to his ear, "Don't tell me that the one you will order me to watch over is Jay, because I won't follow. I told you that my identity is in danger, he has been looking for me for a long time. Are you really going to bring me closer to my doom?"

He heard the person on the other line cough.

["No, it's not Jay but Anchali Theerapanyakul. He got into the system and got people's personal information here. You know how confidential your info's are."]

Pete stopped walking and suddenly thought, that's why Las knew about him, his personality.

"Isn't there anything else that can be ordered there? Or doesn't the client have any other requests?"

["Why?"]

Pete was shaking his head like crazy, he didn't want the mission., "I have a problem with Anchali. Please don't throw me into hell." he said as if crying.

["That's it! Your mission will be easier if you know who you'll be watching over. Bye I'm hanging."]

Pete looked at his phone when the line went dead.

He went straight to the convenience store and got two cans of beer. He paid for it and sat outside the store. He was enjoying the cool breeze and the view of the newly rising sun,

"Your breakfast is nice. Beer not coffee."

Pete was startled when someone tapped him on the shoulder. Pete looked at it and saw the person he didn't want to see today, even just today before his mission starts.

He just watched Las sit in front of him and he was holding a paper bag.

"You eat this.", Las said while taking out the food from inside the paper bag he was carrying.

Pete took another sip of his beer and ignored what Las was doing. Las opened the box of mini pizza he just bought and Pete smelled the aroma of its freshly baked crust.

His mind and stomach were arguing about what to do or if he should remain idle but in the end his hand automatically moved to take two slices.

"Thanks.", Pete said to Las and took another slice.

Pete was eating with a frown when he noticed that Las was just staring at him, he looked at Las' face and only now he did noticed that Las had bruises.

Pete didn't choose to ask because he knew why.

He suddenly thought about his mission, he just had to make sure that Las wouldn't spread the information he gathered.

But if he was already struggling with his identity and he had sex with Las just to cover it up, what about the plethora of information of the others that he had to cover up and not let Las spread it?

"Las, can you just forget what you found out about me? Please." Pete said seriously.

But deep inside he wanted to say, "Can you just bury all the information you got somewhere in your brain and don't tell it to others?"

On the other hand, Pete also realizes that his thoughts are pointless because Las is a Mafia and what Las gathered is important for his benefit.,

"Nevermind, buy me two more beers!" Pete ordered which Las immediately obeyed.

Pete opened all the food brought by Las and tasted it all. And because he only slept for a while, his head hurt quickly, and the beer he drank added to it.

Las returned with four cans of beer and handed two to Pete. Las opened one and drank it.

Pete opened his too and drank gulping it continuosly.

"Hey drink responsibly!" Las said but Pete ignored him.

Pete opened another beer and did the same. Las couldn't even stop him. When he finished his beer, he was about to grab a beer from Las when Las moved it away,

"No, that's enough. It's only five o'clock in the morning for you to get drunk like that. Can you go home safely?"

"Yes." Pete answered shortly and grabbed some food.

"Are you sure-

"That's right. Shut your mouth." Pete said when he shoved the food he was holding into Las's mouth.

Pete laughed loudly and so did Las, he just laughed while chewing the food.

"You're so cute there." said Pete.
