"Bastards", I muttered as I put the blood-stained shirt into the washing machine. I limped up the stairs and made my way out of the basement and into the living room. Falling back on the couch, I took out the first-aid kit from under the centre table and started treating the cuts and scratches that laced my arms and legs. The doorbell rang just as I was returning the kit and I stood to open it.
"Hey man, " I said, moving aside for Derrick to come in.
"Hey, how are you holding up?", he said as he walked in and plopped down onto the sofa directly opposite the TV.
"I've been worse", I shut the door and joined him on the sofa, "the wounds aren't that deep so I'll be ok"
"Good cause Boss wants us back by 7"
"What? Why?"
He turned to face me with an eyebrow raised, "Did you forget? Tonight's the one night security's not going to be as tight at Danny's because of that stupid birthday party he's throwing"
I groaned and slumped further into the sofa. Daniel Martinez, son of Alejandro Martinez, heir to one of the world's leading mafias and an absolute dickhead. He has all that power yet all he does is drink and stick his dick in places they don't belong, disgusting.
"I'm not going"
"Wait, what?", Derrick said, his eyes widening slightly, "You know it's mandatory, right? We don't have a choice, Boss said..."
"I need a beer", I said, cutting him off and standing up. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of Red Moon as he continued rambling on about the consequences of my 'disobedience'.
"Boss will murder you", he said as I walked back into the living room.
"Did you come over just to disturb my beautiful Saturday afternoon", I said, sitting back down and switching on the Tv
"Reconsider", he sighs and turns to face the TV, "Look we can't do this without you, ok, so please come"
I smirked, "That's all I needed to hear, I'll think about it"
He rolled his eyes and I plugged in the game console I had brought out earlier.

"See you by seven?", Derrick said as I showed him to the door.
"Maybe, maybe not", I said as he turned to leave.
He smiled, shook his head and waved goodbye before walking away. I let out a sigh, for no particular reason, and shut my door.
I need a nap, I thought to myself as I walked up the stairs. I entered my room and was about to lie down when I noticed the lights on in the house opposite mine. Hm, a new neighbour. I walked onto the little terrace and looked over the street below.
After about a few minutes, I decided to finally get some sleep when I noticed the bedroom light of the house turn on and a girl that looked my age walked in. Almost all houses on this street were Victorian houses including hers and mine so it wasn't very hard to see into her bedroom. Plus the window wasn't shut. Unaware of that, at least I think she was, she started to undress. As she took off her pants and then her top, I stared, wondering how long till she realizes the window is open.
Well, it only took until her underwear before she noticed. I guess she must've felt the draft. She turned to close it and the instant she saw me, her entire face turned red. I gave her the sweetest smile and she shut her window hurriedly, closing the curtains after.
I chuckled and stretched before heading back into the room and shutting the door that led to the terrace. I slipped into something more comfortable, a singlet and a pair of boxers, and fell face forward onto my bed. Seconds later I was fast asleep, oblivious to the constant calls and texts from Derrick. Okay maybe I wasn't oblivious to them but I wasn't going to let him disturb my sleep. I'd see him in a few hours when we go to Danny's, I thought, as I rolled over a bit, to get more comfortable.

I opened my eyes slowly and sat up, picking up my phone from the nightstand. I turned it on and waited for my eyes to adjust so I could see the time. Hm, 9:30. I shrugged and was about to put down my phone and go back to bed when I noticed the sixty-one missed calls and 50 text messages from Derrick.
"I'll be fine", I muttered to myself before placing my phone back on the nightstand, and laying back down. Again, i was fast asleep, leaving all my worries behind.
