The next day Pete arrived at the parking spot along with another car, a pair of father and son stepped out of the car, "Khun Pete!" Venice waved at him in his cute baby blue overalls and frog bucket hat, "Good morning ven," Pete walked to them with a smile as bright as the sun shining in the sky, so Vegas thought, "You guys are early today," "well this little kitten here woke me up at 6 am cause he was so impatient," Pete raised his eyebrows and started laughing, "It's a good thing I suppose?" "Well two days ago I was worried about how to get him here, now I'm worried he might never want to leave again," Vegas explained looking more relaxed than he did the previous day, allowing Pete to drop his guards a little bit too, "Khun pete football!" Venice shouted interrupting the two, "ahh so that's the reason you wanted to come early, and me here thinking you were excited to see me" Pete said with a fake pout that still managed to make Vegas smile unwillingly, "No Venice missed Khun Pete too" Venice said giggling and hugged Pete with his tiny arms, so the said man took him in his arms and gave his cheek a big kiss, "I missed Venice too,"
Vegas is normally very protective of Venice, it took him months to let his cousins near him, in normal circumstances seeing him in another person's arms would trigger him so badly, but why isn't he? And most importantly why does he like the view in front of him, "Khun Vegas, I will take Venice to class you can go now, you must be busy," Pete said politely and Vegas nodded "Okay then, don't give your teacher a hard time kitten I'll see you later" he gave venice a kiss and got in his car, "bye daddy" Venice waved at him as he drove away from the two.
Vegas entered his office to find a very stressed Kinn, "What's wrong?" "The Italians are withdrawing from our deal." "What?! What the fuck happened they were ready to give us their soul yesterday!" Vegas said in confusion mixed with anger, "I think someone or something got to their head"
"fuck!" Vegas screamed kicking his chair to the other side of the room, taking in a deep breath he loosened his tie trying to stay as calm as possible.
Being one of the most powerful groups in the country comes with a great burden, and a handful of envious enemies who would invest money and time to bring you down, and knowing that most of them are on the dirty side of the game Vegas tries to stay away out of the mess as much as he can since he has venice to protect now, but he'd be lying if he said he doesn't get tempted from time to time.
"We can't lose this deal Kinn we have to do something," Vegas said seriously but his voice carried a hint of worry, "Are you crazy? We've spent months on this we cannot lose it now, but we have to move carefully, those fuckers can be so unpredictable and we can't afford that" kinn is right, if it was only them they would end it in no time but both had a lot to lose now, "do you have any idea why they changed their mind?" " "someone must've offered them more money or said some shit about us, if you want a name I'll give you a hundred!" Kinn said sarcastically. Vegas dropped to the sofa placing his face between his palms, 2 minutes later his phone vibrated,
𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐞: 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐤𝐡𝐮𝐧 𝐕𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐬, 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦, 𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐡𝐞
Along with the text message, there was a short video of Venice running around the field excitedly and shooting the ball, Vegas smiled subconsciously and placed his phone down, he stood up and went to his desk, "Nop free my schedule for tomorrow and see if you can arrange a meeting with Mr Bianchi I want to have a word with him" he said through the speaker of the phone and headed to the door, "where are you going?" Kinn asked standing up, "I need a smoke, wanna join?"
Meanwhile, in the football field Pete was watching the very hyperactive Venice chasing the ball and at the same moment the coach arrived and the other kids ran to him except for Venice who ran to Pete hiding behind his legs, "who?" "Venice this is Macau, he will be your coach do you wanna say hi?" "Hy little Venice it's lovely to meet you!" Macau said with a big smile but Venice was still hesitant so Pete patted his head and looked at Macau "he is still adjusting since he just joined us yesterday," he explained and Macau nodded understanding, "would you like to play with others or just watch for today?" Pete asked Venice and he started thinking for a while "Venice wants to play with khun Pete" he said in a tiny voice and Pete laughed slightly, "I don't know how to play football Venice, and I have to go back to class," he bent down facing him, "Macau is my friend, he is very nice and you will have so much fun with him," he leaned closer whispering in his ear, "he is not a boring adult" he winked and Venice started giggling "okay" Pete stood up and went back to class leaving Venice with Macau, the other kids were playing together, "so Venice, I saw you playing earlier, you are talented where did you learn?" "Uncle Chay" "Well Uncle Chay did a great job but I will take it from here because I'm the best coach in the world" Macau said proudly making Venice giggle "hehehe no you're not, Uncle chay is best" "okay we'll see about that little one" he gave venice's cheek a pinch and they joined the others.
Vegas went to pick up Venice himself again because he needed to see him, ever since he came into his life he became Vegas's safe zone, he arrived at the daycare and went inside the classroom where Venice was waiting for him with Pete, "did you have fun with Macau?" Pete asked him as he was fixing his clothes and helping him to put on his backpack, Venice nodded with a grin, "Venice had so much fun, cau cau is so funny hehe" "I'm glad you did sweetheart"
"Venice!" A voice called interrupting them, it was Vegas, he was standing by the door with open arms, "Daddy!" Venice ran to him and Vegas picked him up from the ground and hugged him tightly in his arms, he remained silent for a long while with his eyes closed and head against Venice's, Pete couldn't help but sense that something was off with him but it was not his business to be concerned about. Vegas pulled away and gave Venice a little kiss, "How was your day baby?" "Venice played football all day with Cau cau!" He said enthusiastically and Vegas tilted his head with a frown, "Cau cau?" "It's his football coach, Macau" Pete explained and Vegas nodded throwing him a smile and Pete's heart skipped a beat for some reason, "alright kitten say bye to your teacher" "Bye khun Pete" Venice waved at him and they left.
Vegas started driving after he placed Venice in his seat, and at the same moment he spotted someone walking, "Are you walking home?" He asked peeking from the window and Pete turned around in confusion, "Huh? Oh I usually take my bicycle but it's getting fixed these days," he explained, "ahh, don't you have a car?" "Used to," Pete said as his smile disappeared for a second, vegas opened the passenger door, "I'll give you a ride" "No need khun, the bus stop is near-" "Just get in Pete, you must be tired, consider it a favour return for Venice's pictures and updates. " "There's no need khun Vegas" Pete tried to reject the offer nicely, "Venice, would you like to take Khun Pete home?" "Yeeeees!!" Vegas looked at Pete with a smirk and the said boy couldn't help but laugh, "Okay then, thank you" he got in the car and they started driving.
