Saving The Devil

16. How I Met Your Mother

Hernando's POV

Everything seems to be in order, I thought as I glanced over the club.
"I should give Derrick a pat on his shoulder for the new DJ he hired."

"I think he's getting all the praises already." Nanda pointed to a quite contented man laughing while carrying some whore in his arms, up the stairs to the VIP.

I hoped for his sake, he paid for the booth! He placed her down gently and she began removing her stilettos. "She has nice legs I can give her that, 100 says he plays the boss card" I emptied my drink.

"200 says her panty flies when he does!"

"Don't they always!" When our eyes returned to the booth, a waitress had just brought a Chardonnay and left. Nanda and I headed straight to his office and pulled up the surveillance on the flat screen.

"Let's see shall we." And she sat ontop his desk while I was busy searching for a new drink, in his liqour cabinet behind her.

I knew the routine already: VIP, Chardonnay, manager of the club, girl turns gold digger, yah dih yah dah!!!

"She refused to drink Nando!"

"That's new!" I liked her already I thought.

"Ooouuu, I liked her already!" Nanda said out loud, chuckling and I had to join in.

"Only if there was audio, this would have been a whole lot better sister! But we just got to look for the sign."

"The bow!" we finished together. This twin shit has got to stop.

"Bruder! (brother)" and my eyes shot to the screen just in time to see the bow end.

"jedes Mal! (Everytime!)" we laughed.

But then something strange happened, It didn't faze her! It didn't... Her!!!

"It's her, the fucking bitch from the supermarket!"

"Now, now brother... If I can recall, you have kiss said bitch?"

"Nein! (no)" I didn't even notice I had to walked up to the screen "Said bitch kissed me!" Good thing Nanda didn't know I kissed her back, she would have never let it down.

"You never said she was beautiful."

"Because she is not" the feeling of Nanda's hand suddenly on my shoulder made me stop. There was no way I could face her right now, she would see what I thought plastered on my face. "Important." I finished "She is not important."

"If that's how you feel" Nanda shrugged "But then tell me this Nan, why haven't you taken her away and sold her into grandpa's service as yet?"

Shit! She heard me cursing that day!

"You heard me?" I turned and caught her at the door.

"You were so loud the better question is, who didn't?!" and she vanished.

Staring at the door for longer than I care to admit, I replayed that day in my head. Papa wanted cigars and had woken me up to get them. I remember being on edge the entire drive to that freaking place 'cause it's the only store that has them. 5 hours for a pack of fucking lung killers!

As if the situation wasn't bad enough, I had picked up Lexi --with an I, the bitch kept saying-- to give me head whenever I wanted it along the way. She sang every fucking song that played, the entire way and I wanted to stab myself in the fucking ears!

Or maybe you should just stab her instead!  a voice had told me but that would have just been added work to all this.

I was so glad to reach the store and give my ears some peace but the devil wasn't done with me yet. A glanced over my shoulder revealed Lexi strolling a couple steps behind me.

What ticked me off again, was the nerves she had to ask me for money! I had to remind myself that killing was illegal! Plus she had the nerve to look hurt when I said no... THE AUDACITY!!!

The lines were all long and the ones that weren't had people emptying the entire supermarket on the fucking counter. So I did what any none time-wasting citizen would do... I went to the front of the line! And there she was, just staring.

I asked her to excuse but she didn't blink, until I shoved her aside that is!

That's when this little nobody decided to challenge me. Ha! Things were beginning to look up!

I was truly impressed that such strong will came from a little person. I was enjoying it so much that I forgot my English! I wanted a close-up look so I lowered my head and when she caught my movement she began to tip. Determined!

"That wasn't English pyscho!" Now that hurt. But all in all, I had to say she would sell for a hefty sum. Though I didnt care much the extension that made a ponytail in her hair, she had smooth dark skin and big brown eyes. Her full lips looked delicious and her petite frame would be easy to grab!

But that temper, now that's was something else!

I was about to set things straight as soon as I summed it all up in English, but Lexi--with an I--had finally caught up. I couldn't deal with her anymore, I needed to get back as quickly as possible so I could dump her ass back at the whore-house.

As if she read my mind, the cashier read the total aloud. "That's...16.99" So I pulled out at 20 and left.

Not before I made it totally clear that she would be seeing me soon. Real soon!
