Gambler || Money Heist

|| Chapter 11 ||

"Seoul.."

"Seoul wake up"

"Seoul!"

I opened my eyes to see Santiago standing over me. What the hell? What time is it? I look around confused as to what the fuck is going on. "What time is it?" I asked Santiago. "It's 7:45 in the morning knuckle head", he said laughing while messing with my hair. Shit. I must have fallen asleep while I was thinking..

"My bad..Has anything happened? Any news from the Professor?" I said still groggy from my sleep. "Not that I know of. We're just about to wake up the hostages" He said about to walk towards the door. "Wait, have you slept?" I felt bad that I fell asleep on the team when they probably needed me..

"Yeah, we all took turns sleeping last night"

"Why didn't any of you guys wake me up? I could have taken somebody's turn"

"You're fine, don't worry about it too much. C'mon lets go downstairs" He said, grabbing my arms and pulling me up from the seat so we could head downstairs. Once we get downstairs, I see Monica and Denver had already woken up the hostages.

"Morning Fiona" Denver said chuckling once he saw me.

"Sup Shrek" I said smiling in return to his comment. I heard some hostages snicker in the background while he gave me the 'why you gotta do me like dat look'. I just gave him a heart sign with my hands in return as I decided to sit on the stairs while everyone had their morning chat. Also because I just wanted to be able to fully wake up from the long slumber I just had. "I'm gonna go check up on the rest of the gang, I'll be back in a bit", Santiago said before heading downstairs. I just nodded in return and placed my attention back to the hostages.

As I was looking around, I noticed the Governors secretary and the Miguel boy talking. It was kind of cute and cringey at the same time. Two geeky nerds trying to flirt is adorable to watch, but it makes me want to puke. It's like you wanna help them, but yet you want them to learn on their own. By the looks of it, it was going well. They were talking about how he felt pain from the hit Denver had given him yesterday, which is a good move because that got her to touch him, but.. the moment he brought up that he has constipation is where I'm out. Completely unnecessary, shouldn't have brought that up.

"You. Come with me" I heard Denver say as he walked towards Miguel.

"Me?"

"Of course you, who the fuck else? C'mon get up. Let's go." Denver said grabbing poor baby boy Miguel. I saw as he dragged him to the mens restroom for who knows what reason. Monica turned to look at me with a confused face. I shrugged back in return cause I didn't know what just happened either. Shit, Im still barely awake. When she didn't stop looking at me, I knew she wanted me to go make sure Denver doesn't do anything stupid.

"Ugghhhh FINE! I'll go check on him" I said getting up from the stairs and heading to the men's restroom.

"Thank you! You're the best!" She said.

"I know", I said jokingly before I involved myself with whatever Denver decided to do. As I walked in the restroom, I saw the poor boys back against the wall with Denver all up on his face. "Denver what the hell are you doing? Didn't you traumatize him enough yesterday?" I said as I leaned back against the wall.

"I'm trying to help this idiot so he won't make himself a fool in front of a girl!", he said to me before he focused his attention back on Miguel, "Like, were you seriously just trying to flirt by talking about shit?"

"I was just saying my stomach hurts.. I've got gas." Miguel said frustrating Denver a lot more. "For fucks sake!" Denver said hitting the wall behind Miguel before backing away to take a deep breath.

"Okay, Okay, Okay, Okay. Do you like that girl?" Denver asked him.

"Yes.. a lot." 

"A lot? A lot. And you thought that talking about constipation, your fucking CLOGGED intestines, and flirting like an idiot would reel her in? What the hell were you thinking?" I said getting closer to the boys. "How the hell are you gonna help him?" I asked Denver who looked deep in thought.

"From now on, you're a fucking hero. A FUCKING HERO! Nothing can hurt you. You're gonna give her some of your food everyday. EVERY single day! And if I'm acting like a prick, you're gonna stand up to me. Starting right now. Stand up to me." Denver finally said snapping out of his thoughts. He got really close to Miguels face waiting for him to do something. 

"FUCKING stand up to me!" Denver said, hitting the wall behind Miguel when he didn't do anything.

"Y-yes sir!" Miguel said in a shaky voice. The poor boy was shaking and whimpering out of fear. I saw as Denver stared at him out of pity. There was an awkward silence until Denver spoke up. "Im sorry..", he said, "about shooting you in the vest.. it wasn't my proudest moment."

"Don't worry Mr. Denver," Miguel said. I noticed how he stopped shaking when Denver apologized. "I know these things can happen in a heist-"

"It's not easy Miguel. Not easy." Denver said interrupting Miguel. Their little bromance was cute to watch but I knew if I didn't speak up to get the day going, then this conversation would never end. 

"Let me tell y'all something. I know that with my intelligence, Denvers pea brain-" The boys chuckled interrupting what I said, " and that, that little smile of yours, that grin right there, yeah? We're gonna win Amanda over. Together as a team. How about it? You think you can give it a shot?" I asked Miguel.

"Well, I'll do my best Ms. Seoul and Mr. Denver" Miguel said smiling like a little boy on Christmas morning. "Of course you will," Denver said smiling back at him, "Now get in there and don't come out until you've taken a shit, c'mon" he said pushing Miguel into one of the stalls.

"Okay" Miguel replied, chuckling as he entered the stall and closed the door. 

Denver turned around and walked up to one of the mirrors, looking at himself in deep thought. "You're a good guy. You know that right?" I said walking up behind him so he could see me and him through the mirror. "Thanks.." He said giving me a small smile.

"Ms. Seoul, Mr. Denver?" We heard Miguel say through his stall.

"Yes?"

"Yeah?"

Denver and I said speaking over each other. 

"I can't concentrate with you two standing there" 

Denver and I looked at each other laughing a bit. "Alright, we'll wait for you outside." I said as I grabbed Denver and pushed him out the door with me.
