Universe (VegasPete) R18

Chapter 20 - Into the snake pit

-Pete-

« In what universe someone can possibly think it was a good idea to call a gay bar The snake pit ?»

Leaning against the car smoking, Porsche was looking at the pink neon sign blinking, shaking his head.

I looked at him and the sign alternately, in disbelief. We were still on the parking lot, and I was trying very hard to process what he just told me.

Khun Tankhun lying to me is one thing, but Porsche. This freaking bastard. I pushed his shoulder strongly to draw his attention. I was angry but I was also refraining myself not to lose my shit in front of all those people waiting to enter the bar.

« Did you even think of what Vegas will do to you when he'll find out that you dragged me here dressed like a freaking striper in a place full of starving men? Huh? Because believe me he will find out eventually! And not only YOU will be in trouble, but I will be too because of YOU! Freaking nutjob! »

I hit his shoulder, emphasizing the last words, my jaw clenched.

«Oiii ! I know! Don't you think I got myself into trouble too, you bastard?! If Kinn learn about this, I'm dead. Dead! I'm pretty sure that he will even come find me in heaven to make sure I'm super dead! »

« Heaven? Yeah right! » I sneered, rolling my eyes.

Porsche threw his cigarette and straightened, sighing. He grabbed me by the shoulders leaning a little in front of me, talking to me like you talk to a child. I bit my lips hard not to slap his freaking face.

« Listen. I had no choice and I know! I know I should have told you, but the thing is that now we are here we might as well try to enjoy tonight. We've been through a lot the past couple hours. You even beat the shit out of me twice, so please! PLEASE, Pete don't let me down. I'm begging you. Just go in there, spend a little time with Tankhun, let him be the crazy mother fucker he is and just like that in one hour max you'll be back home to your pyscho husband! Trust me! »

« Trusting you?! Really ?! »

I lifted my hand and was about to hit him again, but he looked at me his hands joined in prayer, with a pleading gaze. I pushed both of his hands away and sighed.

I leaned against the car, closing my eyes.

Even if it's killing me to admit, he was right. I will be even more frustrated to think that I did all of this for nothing. At least I will have the opportunity to clear things out with Khun Tankhun to be sure this will never happen again.

« Okay. Let's go in. »

« Pete! My friend! »

« Just shut up! I'm still freaking mad at you! Just make sure that Khun Tankhun is drinking. A lot. The faster he gets drunk the faster I can get the hell out of here. »

Porsche made a hand salute, looking at me with a stupid wide smile on his face. He was about to lead the way when someone faintly grabbed me by the shoulder.

« Khun Pete...»

It was Lek. Damn it. I completely forgot about him.

My eyes opened wide when I realized that he will probably call Vegas as soon as I'll step into the bar.

Lek was a very nice and skilled man, but he was a snitch. Everybody knew about this in the mansion. If you wanted to know something about anything that was going on in the second family, you just had to ask him, and he would tell everything without hesitations. He was the one to reveal that Macau was seeing a girl and I didn't even have to ask. 

I quickly grabbed his forearm and pushed him against the car.

« Vegas must know nothing about this! »
