Guarding My Heart

Cuatro : El trabajo

Punto de vista de Gabriel

Taking my phone off the counter, I stood up from the stool and made my way through the crowds. I didn't know what or who I was searching for but then I'm pretty sure I'm looking for Lea. I had to go through a series of different approaches to get Liam to tell me her name. She looks special enough for me to ruin. I've never slept alone since seven years ago. Every night, I had to get a prostitute home together with me. It was the only way that I can get my head off everything. I had a drug history when I was younger but that was way over. I usually just drink at a local nightclub and drag home a girl together with me every night. It wasn't as healthy as I think it will be but it was what I do.

Liam had joined in the gang two weeks ago. He proved himself to be capable enough by dealing drugs for the past year. He didn't managed to earn back enough profit to last him a single year but he was desperate. I was friends together with him for about five whole years and he did poorly in life. He had to live off his parents' riches. He wasn't able to make his own decisions and couldn't make his own choices. Letting him in the gang by putting in a few good words for him with the boss was a mistake. But he paid me a thousand dollars to do so. I couldn't let him down. I met his sister when I was over at his house three years back. She didn't see me but I saw her. Liam and I were dicking off in the living room when she came home from high school. I've never seen her since.

Funny how three years can change how a person looks like. Seeing Lea right now and her three whole years ago, she's grown up. A lot. Liam wears the gang's dog tags around his neck every time even though we're not on a job. It was something that I warned him about but he still does it. Only people up in the ranks can wear their dog tags everywhere but Liam is a different case. He was allowed to wear his dog tags because of me. After joining in the gang, the boss assigned him to work together with me. Two weeks had past since then and he was of great help. For one, sweet talking people.

Sweet talking was never my thing. When Liam proves himself to be useful, I started bringing him along together with me to meetings. I've never been the friendly type but when I saw Lea earlier that day, I knew I had to talk her into sleeping together with me. One night. It's only going to take one night. One night to make me forget. One night to make me move on. One night to make my world change.

The recording app was always used in the meetings together with the elders. I was the boss' second in command, I had to do most of the donkey work. My girl friend created the app for me and downloaded it onto my phone about a year ago. She never thought that it's going to be a hit among porn stars to record the moans from their partners. I used the app mainly for meetings, you will never know how useful it is until you try it out. I didn't know why I suddenly used the app on Lea but I wasn't mad when she had snatched my phone out from my hands. Her hand brushing against mine made me imagine her on my bed.

I was out from the house and lighting up a joint when I spotted her again. This time, she was in the middle of taking off her heels and talking to the guy sitting next to her just now when we were inside. I didn't know why but I pocketed back my joint and zippo lighter and started making my way towards them. The guy wasn't alone. He was talking to Rebecca and seems so into her that even when I was a meter away, Rebecca gave me the bored look. I fucked her bare back a month ago over at a public toilet. It wasn't surprisingly that she's giving the cold shoulder now even though her moans were as loud as a gun shot.

The woman is probably in her forties. Widowed with two kids. I didn't care about age. I just wanted to fuck someone with a pussy every night to satisfy myself. I was nearing the three of them when Lea took off running. Her heels dangling from her right hand. It didn't take me long to notice that she's limping from wearing the heels. It probably isn't hers to begin with. It's probably her friend's.
