I got out of the establishment to finally head home."How can only one day of work be so long but at the same time so short?" Then I heard the last person I wanted to hear. 

- How can you be so fast if you are as tall as Godzilla? I take it back, how can you be so fast if you are as fat as Godzilla.

- I am still taller than you Carter. 

- Height does not mean anything. 

- That's not what she said. 

- Who? your mom?

I was at a loss for words. He had won again. I hated the basted. However, he was good very good. It was not purely the fact that he had years to gain experience. He was born to do this job. I hated the fact that I was weaker than him. I continued my way hoping that he would take another path. Ten minutes later, he was still behind. The creepiest part was that he was being silent on the way. I turned around and told him: "Why are you following me Shades." He then glared at me and said: "Well "Godzilla" I was following you to go crash at your place." At that moment, I believe the entire neighborhood heard my laughter. Either he was joking or he wanted to fight again. Carter then took off his shades looked at me and replied: 

- Listen to me closely, I will not repeat myself. Let's make a deal.

- What is that deal of yours?

- Let me crash at your place and ill drive ya to work and back. Even better I will be your own taxi.

- First of all, how did you know I don't have a car. Second, why would I let you crash at my place and third don't you have a house?

- No, I don't. It got destroyed by some random guy who tried to kill me.

- Ok, and what happens if another "random" guy tries to kill you will you are next to my house.

-  I will pay the double of any damage that is caused by me or because of me.

- Also, why choose to crash at my place?

- Because you are my so-called partner and you are let's say interesting. It's been a while since someone was able to punch me.

-Ok but you clean your own room.

- That's fine by me. So is it a deal or not?

"Deal!" I said while shaking his hand. We continued our walk home. However, before arriving he said: "I was gonna crash at your place even if you said no."
