Getting ready for my final goodbye, I wore a black suit with a black/grey vest.

To be completely honest i'm a bit nervous for my dad's funeral today.

Fixing my hair, then grabbing one of my guns and making sure there's enough bullets. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

Walking to my door and opening it be hit by a familiar scent...

It's Pete.

"Pete, what are you doing here?" I asked confused but had a slight feeling he was up to something.

Pete bowed at first looking annoyed to see me.

"Sir Kinn assigned me to be your bodyguard for your stay of 2 weeks" He then said smiling at me.

One day he's upset the next he's all happy?

What's his deal? Is this the right bodyguard?

"I don't need a bodyguard, it's not like it's my first time here." I said rolling my eyes.

I don't appreciate his presence at all, I definitely am not in the need of a nanny to keep and eye on me and keep me out of trouble.

Pete stayed silent for a minute then looked over to me with his eyebrows raised up saying

"I know you don't need a bodyguard sir Vegas but i was ordered to do this, Not by choice." He said giving me a sarcastic smile.

Is this what he meant by keeping his eyes on me?

This is getting to my nerves.

I harshly pushed Pete away from my way walking to one of the open gate doors that lead us to the private gardens for a morning smoke.

I heard steps following me from behind, Damn it. I'll have to get rid of him fast or else nothing will move on with my day.

We arrived at the garden as i sat down, lighting up a cigarette i had held in my hand.

Pete stood behind me not uttering a word.

"What time is the funeral?" I asked calmly.

"In 30 minutes sir Vegas" he replied.

That gives me enough time.

There'll be an immense amount of people attending as from what i heard from Porsche.

I know very well that some people that will be present took part in the murder of my father the night of the event... they wanted him dead.

I have to get revenge on them but how can i do that with pete babysitting me the during the entire event?

My face lightening up as i suddenly got an idea.

"Want one?" I asked Pete showing him the pack of cigarettes i had in my hand.

Pete looked triggered by the question as if he knew i was up to something..

He was a bit hesitant at first, Seemed like he really needed it.

He quickly looked around before walking over to me and grabbing one cigarette from the packet then handing it back to me.

I saw him put his hands in his pockets to grab his lighter which he realised he forgot.

Reaching for my pockets i threw him my golden lighter that had the letter V carved on it, He was quick to catch it but once he tried lighting it up it didn't work.

"Sir Vegas it's empty?" Pete said smirking at me as if i was an idiot.

I analysed him before i walked over to him slowly grabbing him by his silver necklace closer to me, We were inches apart, i felt his nervousness in his hot breath that brushes through my face, his eyes were widened but was trying extremely hard to avoid my gaze.

I looked then down to his cigarette which had been placed in his mouth as i put the tip of mine to transfer some of the heat onto his.

I felt his strong hads Push me away, he quickly looked away blowing the smoke out.

Perfect.

I stayed seated for a while before proceeding with what i wanted to do.

"I'll be back, I'm in urgent need of the bathroom." I said walking to the direction of the main family entrance back into thenhojse but i felt a hand harshly hold mine.

"Sir Vegas, Don't do anything i wouldn't." Pete said with an angry expression on his face..

His expressions always confused me, He wasn't like any of the other bodyguards. His eyes spoke more than his face or words yet he was quite complicated to read and without wanting to admit it i liked that.

"If you want to come just say so" i replied smirking but he soon let go letting me walk back into the house.

I know exactly what he's doing, Does he take me for an idiot?

Those old a*s excuses.

His acts of service and flirts always help him and give him a way of manipulating others. I'm slowly discovering this new side of him as we start spending more time together.

I still hate him. I hate him so much that i'd kill him just to be satisfied of living but a feeling is stopping me and i can't figure out what it is.

It's been a bit more than 5 minutes and i've finally finished the cigarette throwing it away.

He hasn't came back yet, Did he possibly get stuck in one of the stalls? I laughed to myself thinking about it, It sounded ridiculous but suddenly it sounded more concerning once i thought clearly about it. Not because i was worried but because i might get fired by tomorrow morning if i don't get to him.

"He's stuck!" I said to myself.

I quickly ran inside the main family's house and straight into the bathroom,

"Sir Vegas?" I asked opening and looking into each stall but there was no sign of him whatsoever.

Did i loose him out of my sight!? He might be stealing some of the system in one of the offices!? I panicked.

Speed walking out i caught him talking with one of our guards.. Ken.

I felt the urge to walk over to them which so i did.

"Sir Vegas is everything arlight?"

Vegas was a bit startled by my sudden presence but tried to play it cool.

"Oh Pete! Yes i was just asking Ken where the bathrooms were." Replied Vegas giving me a small smile.

"Do you guys know each other?" I asked a bit curious about how he knows Ken's name to begin with.

"That doesn't seem to be any of your concern." Replied Vegas coldly as his smile faded away.

Excuse me? Yes it's definitely my concern. He's out here chatting with the guards while they are on duty, As the head bodyguard it's my responsibility to ensure Vegas's safety not Ken.

"Shall we get going Sir Vegas? The car is ready." I said not looking at him.

He didn't answer but instead walked right past me to the lobby.

Jerk.

Getting in the car he sat on the right side as i sat on the left.

It was quiet.. Really quiet.

I could even hear his heavy breath and heartbeat throughout half of the ride, He was scared and through his face he had many emotions happening at once.

I wasn't sure if i should take this chance to comfort him or just let him be..

And yeah you guessed it like he said it's non of my 'concern'.

The rest of the ride continued quietly till we finally reached the organised funeral event..

There was a big amount of people, Vegas's dad was admired and loved by many people, He just doesn't seem to have had good relationship with his brother or his children.

I then opened the door for Vegas to enter the room where the funeral was held at.

All those heads turned to Vegas's direction immediately, They then all came running to see how he's doing.. I suddenly ran infront of him placing my hand behind me to hold his and my other hand placed in my back pocket preparing my gun for anything that were to come.

"Vegas are you okay?"

"I'm so sorry for your loss Vegas!"

"You didn't deserve this!"

"Who will take the lead?"

"We loved your father!"

They all kept screaming and crying these words to him his warm hand was shaking. I hardened my grip on his hand for a bit of comfort but then I felt him taking my hand off of his.

Aren't i saving his a*s right now?

How dare he even.

I then took the hint letting him go and walked over to the side taking a few glances at him before standing there making sure everything is going as planned.

They were all hugging him and touching him.. He looked uncomfortable but was smiling at them as if everything was fine..

Why is he smiling?

They then dragged him to sit in the round shaped table chatting and kept sad expression on their faces.

I didn't feel the need to interfere anymore so i walked over to Porsche to talk with him for a while completely forgetting Vegas.

Me and porsche made eye contact when j saw him in the crowd and walked directly to him.

Porsche was wearing a white shirt with a dark beige suit, He looked handsome as awlays.

"So how's guarding Vegas?" Porsche asked smiling at me.

"It's okay i guess, you know he's a complete jerk. I risk myself saving his a*s and he's out here pushing me away as if i'm not the one trying to help him." I said confused as the feeling of anger kicked in.

"It's okay Pete, You know sometimes it's like that in the start.

You have to understand that Vegas isn't someone who you can easily click with, He will take his time to finally see you." Porsche replied with a soft tone giving me a comforting smile.

Porsche always gives the best advice when it comes to meeting new people, Even though there is a side of Vegas that he doesn't see makes me doubt ever getting along with Vegas.

"Thank you Porsche." I said trying to keep a smile on my face knowing i'll be in hell for these 2 weeks.

Hearing fast footsteps coming from behind me,

I then turned around to someone tapping my shoulder,

"What's wrong ken?" I asked confused.

"Pete i think you forgot someone." Ken said trying to catch his breath pointing at the direction of the round table where everyone was sat.

"OH SHOOT-" i ran towards them remembering Vegas was there too.

How can i forget? I was literally just talking about him.

Arriving to that table i saw Vegas completely wasted.

I was a taken back by the sight of him. I've never seen him in this state before.

I ran over to him, He opened his eyes and looked up at me.

"Pete! Where have you been!?" He asked throwing his hands around trying to point at me.

"Sir Vegas! I didn't think you'd get wasted so fast." I said laughing to myself then

got serious when i noticed the guests glaring at me. I held him up by his waist to help him stand up so i could walk him to one of the empty rooms upstairs.

"Slowly Sir Vegas" i said while he tried running up the stairs. What is this childish behaviour?

Arriving to the room door i kicked it open with my leg making my way to the bed as i slowly threw Vegas's Heavy body onto it.

I looked at him before thinking..

He must be hot.

I don't want to be invading any of his privacy or him in general however it is an act of service, I'm his bodyguard afterall.

I quietly removed his black vest unbuttoning his shirt and leaving him in his black Calvin klein boxers.

"Oih pete!" He suddenly said pushing me away.

"Don't touch me Pete" He added moving away from me and into a comfortable position on the bed.

He was so calm, I wondered what it would of felt like if i took the chance to slap his face. That would feel so relieving.

I then hit my head, What am i thinking!? I certainly didn't want to get fired or i'll end up working at Ikea for the rest of my life.

I then proceeded to walk over to him and sit on the bed he had just moved into looking down at his sleeping face.

slowly examining his face,

He had strands of his black silky hair slightly covering parts his face, clear soft skin, Eyebrows that were nicely shaped, Short Eyelashes, A sharp nose and soft raspberry tinted lips.

I've never seen Vegas this close before.

He suddenly started talking.. which brought me back to reality.

"Father, i'm so sorry.. Please forgive me.."

I backed away a bit in shock.

Does this jerk sleep talk?

"I couldn't be the best son, and i still am not. I will make you proud." He added.

I couldn't clearly hear him although i understood the drunk words coming out of him mouth.

I couldn't help but feel bad for him... again.

Damn that must of been so hard for him and Marcau.

I looked over at his hand and held it without hesitation.

Rubbing on his soft hand with my thumb.

But what did he mean by 'i'll make u proud'? Is he planning something? Revenge?..

Lost in my thoughts i felt another warm hand hold onto my small waist trying to pull me in but i quickly stood up refusing.

It felt wrong, For some reason being with him made me feel like a betrayer.. Not just to the main family but to myself aswell.

Maybe it's just my pity for him eating me up.. or is it so?

To be continued...

I apologise for the late update! I'm still on vacation and try to come up with entertaining ideas for each chapter! I hope this one was entertaining enough..

I promise the next ones will be even better we'll bet to see missions and more emotional scenes between Pete and Vegas.

Sorry for any faults!
