Eyes On Me

Chapter 37

Justin Pov

Me and the boys were sitting in Alfredo's living room counting the money we just made by selling robbed guns, we were so focused that no one was talking

The sound of rustling paper filled the room as well as puffs on finest export quality Cuban cigars 

I was almost done counting my stack of money when the vibration coming from my jeans pocket distracted me making me lose the count

I quickly reached for it to shut it off when I noticed it was the same private number who called me when I was with Selena

Alfredo must have noticed the confused expression on my face as he asked me if everything was ok

"A private number keeps calling me and it's annoying" I said placing the phone back in my pocket

"Do you want me to track it? When can know who it is"

"No, I think it's someone who just wants to play with me, I don't want to waste my time on it they will get tired of calling me soon" I shrugged

"Have you tried answering them?" Za said as it was the most brilliant suggestion

"Of course I did" I quickly looked at him for the stupid thing he said "Every time I answer they just hang up, so as I already said, they're just trying to waste my time and I won't let it bother me"

"You should—" He tried to voice his dumb ideas again but I quickly stopped him

"I said what I said" My tone was sharp and firm towards him "Now get back to count the money" I ordered

There was still a lot of conflict between me and Za after what he tried to do— ruin my relationship with Selena, I didn't trust him like I used to do and I treated him badly at every occasion I had

The boys advised me to just kick him out of the gang if things weren't going to get better for us but that would mean I had to kill him, he knows too much for just letting him go and it would be a shame to lose a good member of the gang

He's really good— not as good as me but he's the best of all the other guys

Agility and precision is what he excels in, sometimes he doesn't look like a smart guy but trust me he is when he have to complete a hard job I give him

"This are 2,250$" Alfredo said placing down his stack of money 

"Mine too" Maejor replied mimicking his movements

"Same" Za intervened when he was done counting his money

"I have 2,250$ like all of you" I shook my head "They were supposed to be 2,500$ for each one of us, 10,000$ total" I quickly added in my head the money we had and realized 1,000$ were missing

"I can't believe they tried to fool us" Alfredo said as he put his cigar out "We have to get back there and get our money"

"And teach them a good lesson" Maejor added

I looked at the time on the big old clock in the living room and realized it was really really late, I promised Selena I would've be home soon and I was already late
