Part 2

"So I will be leaving, hope you two can get along well?" Xia said which sounded more like question, Pete just sighed hearing her.
After entering that penthouse his face completely become pale after seeing it's condition from inside. In ashtray, 4-5 burnt cigarettes were there, alcohol bottles were laying around like its decoration peace.

Pete just prayed for himself that this man is atleast someone who only mind his own business. He has no interest of having any sort of communication with a alcoholic.

"Tell Jack first that your dearest step brother is already here, not staying with you. I don't want him to hear nag and being insecure, that's too much to handle".
Vegas said with a bored face to Xia, she almost rolled her eyes but she gives a nod.

Xia looked at Vegas for one more time and walked away towards door where Pete was still standing clutching on his bag an suitcase.

"Dont get much involved with him, avoid him as much as you can."
She whispered to him and left.

Now there was just silence in the room. Vegas was staring at Pete with emotionless face, pete wasn't able to tell what this man is thinking. He thought of breaking awkward silence but before that Vegas said something.

"Make sure to not bother me in anyway, if you did then I am not sure how your stay will turn out".
Vegas said with a cold smile which sent chilla running down Pete spine.

"Yeah.. I am also not interested in bothering anyone and I am good at minding my own business"
Pete said thinking how he can go for months or maybe forever without interacting with anyone.

Vegas just looked at pete and that awkward silence was back.
"You look so fucking dumb standing right infront of that door, clutching on that bag like your life depends on it".
Vegas simply said before walking towards a table.

"I was right this man isn't only alcoholic but so damn rude too, why the hell he is calling someone dumb he just meet. No manners or anything".
Pete thought to himself while looking at Vegas who was picking somthing up from the table.

"If you want to stay here in peace, do not bother me. Do not talk to me at all. And most importantly I can do whatever I want here, you will not question it. You can do this all right?".

Vegas asked folding his hands and leaning back in table.

"He got some big arms".
Pete thought to himself.

"I don't like how much time you are taking to say yes to simple request, Pete".
Vegas said in a bored tone.

"You don't sound like you are requesting though" pete said in his mind.
"Yeah, I can do that all and i also don't like getting bothered so don't worry, you will not even feel like someone is staying here, I am good at acting like I dont exist".
Pete said to him who was staring at him like he want to eat his soul.

"Good to hear that". Vegas said with a smirk .
Vegas started walking away from the table and suddenly he throw something at Pete.

"Oh my-
Pete quickly douched it.
"What the hel-
Pete almost yelled then look at what Vegas throw at him, it was key.

*Tsk tsk*
"Got no survival skills do you".
Vegas said in a mocking tone. "It's your room key, the last room in second floor".
Vegas simply said walking away like few minutes ago he didn't almost give a wound on Pete's head.

"Pete, you have went through worse, meeting someone with no manners is nothing. You can do it and you are good in ignoring everyone and being alone.
Pete said to himself more like trying to comfort himself before he loses his temper and yells at vegas.

"It's his home after all, this is nothing I can bear with it".
Pete said this to himself one more time before going to the said room.

>>>>>>>

"I was wrong to think that I can go on ignoring him".
Pete said to himself, looking at his reflection on the mirror.

"He is worse than anyone I have ever meet".
Pete said rembering what just happened few hours ago.

****

Pete was laying at the bed thinking how big this room is and this is his first time using a soft bed like that.

"This room alone can make up half of my home...I already miss my home".
"Ugh, dad if you only were not alcoholic, My life must have been better, now I am stuck with a stranger".
Pete mumbled to himself.

"There is no use thinking of dead people".
Pete said to himself rolling in bed, just then he heard a knock on the door.

"Who is here? That Vegas? But he just said to not talk to him, What he is even doing here?" Pete said to himself before he can reach the door it already opened revealing Vegas.

"Ofcourse,he doens't have basic manners to wait for someone to open the door".
Pete mumbled looking at Vegas who had arrogant expression on his face as he walked in like he owns that place.(He does)

"I think you have rest enough. Get into work already and whenever I knock open the door immediately, I hate waiting".
He arrogantly said staring at Pete who was still at bed looking at him in confusion.

"What are you saying? What work? And I and not gifted with some powers to open the door in just tunder few seconds, you can atleast wai-
Before Pete can continue his sentence Vegas cut him off.

"I don't wanna hear you excuses, and you thought I will let you live in here for free?"
Vegas chuckles before continuing.
"If you want to live here, you need to clean the house".

"What? Xia didn't told m-

Vegas again cut off pete.
"Ofcourse she didn't i didn't put any condition in front of them. I didn't even thought of something like this before but after I saw you and how you dress".
Vegas said looking at Pete with a face like he is looking down on him.

"I thought maybe having a servant isn't that bad".

When Vegas finished, Pete eyes widened.
"You have no shame, Vegas."

Pete said standing from bed.
"How dare he think of me as a lowlife. Yes I am poor and wear clothes which looks years old. But it doens't give him right to treat me like this".

"You keep acting like this since I walked in and i didn't said anything. But this...this is too much, you have no right to say these things to me. Is it funny to you?"
Pete said he had enough of holding back.

Vegas just titled his head and frowned.
"Why the hell are you getting so worked up over something so little?

"Judging people over how they dress isn't something so little, vegas".
Pete said trying to not raise his voice.

"Then get out, right this instant. And I told you to not talk to me and bother me right? But the way you are talking back to me is getting on my nerves".
Vegas said arrogantly making Pete scoff.

"You said to not bother you and you come here yourself and started this and now you are saying th-

Vegas again cut off Pete.
"Aww, Pete I guess there is a misunderstanding here. I said you will not bother me, but I never said anything like me not interacting with you in anyway".

Pete just stared at Vegas in disbelief.

"You know what, I will just leave this place. I am not here to get treated like shit.

In response Vegas just shrugged and smirked "Suit yourself". He said and walked out of room.

Pete walked towards his packed bags and picked it up then suddenly he remembered how he has no place to go other than at roads.

"Ugh what i should do now. Xia I hate you, getting chased my loan sharks is much better then to deal with egoistic and arrogant man".
