I Want Her Badly

No Peace

ALEX POV

BANG!!!

“How did a simple night out end up like this?”, I asked as I searched the dead guys on the floor for information.

“We don’t exactly have history of peaceful nights”, Paul answered.

“There’s nothing. Their faces are not telling us anything about their nationality. I can’t tell their purpose in this bar, I need to leave and use the network. Where’s Xander?”

“He’s on the lookout. We don’t have the time to clean up here as our friends are still waiting on us downstairs. I am not at all interested in ending my evening early in this sweet club and I have also made nightly appointments. So what should we do?”, Paul replied.

“Let’s ask Uncle Chris for a favor. This is his territory after all and if he can find out who these guys are, that’s a bonus”, I said while removing any trace of our presence here.

“That’s no problem but I thought his heir has a problem with us. Cleaning up dead bodies for us isn’t looking good”, he replied as we went out the room.

“You’ve become soft this period. Ordinarily, you would have left these bodies here without any care in the world. I want Ghost to be angry. I don’t like how he’s looking for us just because he has trust issues”

“It looks as if you and this Ghost aren’t going to be on good terms. I act primarily on instinct which works most of the time. We are in a new environment with new friends and I don’t feel like messing that up. You are aware of the last time I acted anyhow, look what happened”, he said leaving and grabbing a wine bottle on the way.

I saw Xander and signaled him everything was fine. I arranged myself and went to join the others downstairs thinking of the last three hours.

THREE HOURS AGO

We all gathered in front of the nightclub at 9pm, even Chad came. I saw him and waved and he flashed a smile. I led them up the stairs and thankfully it was Maurice on duty.

“Maurice, you are looking charming as usual”, I said.

“Alex, you flatter me. I heard you had a good weekend as no one in the club could stop talking about you. You are looking more beautiful day by day. Who are they?”

“They are my friends and we just came to have fun. Just let us in, we won’t cause trouble.”

“What are their ages? Forget it, I can let them in but I can’t get them membership cards, you will have to ask the young boss”

“Is Theo around?”

“Not yet but news is he’s coming today”

“Thanks, let’s have some fun”, I screamed and there were shouts of approval in response. I slipped him an envelope and we got in. They took some time taking in the scenery.

I led them to some seats and introduced some places to them, “The club is pretty chill, just order your drinks by the bar or from a waiter. Dancing is allowed anywhere and the DJ is a bomb.”

The music stopped abruptly, and the DJ said, “I just received some news, our weekend guest and lovely enchanting sweetheart who we can’t still get out of our minds has graced us with her presence. Give it up for the beautiful ALEX!!”

There were claps, shouting and whistling. The spotlight was directed at me and I just chuckled. A waiter brought me a microphone and I just said, “Nolan, let’s see later. For wasting a little of your time, everyone’s first round of drinks is on me”. The shouting continued and the music resumed. The party began in full with some separating and looking for their own fun.

Fun began and I enjoyed it as it was purer than the parties in the club in France. Somehow Paul and I were challenged to a drinking game and the people were beaten miserably. With alcohol in my system, I decided to go dancing. I danced with everyone that came even Jarvis (although he seemed a little stiff,

but I don’t care). Xander and I did some dance routines we knew with some of our favorite songs before he left me for his babe, not that I mind.

The fun was interrupted briefly when my eyes was closed by someone. “Theo, I recognize your perfume and you are the only one that I have met recently that has smooth hands like this.”

“I thought you had forgotten me after all the fun we had.”, he said and people near us hyped us.

I just laughed and replied, “It was….”

“One night only. I know, you made that very clear. I just feel it’s such a shame”

“Well, that’s how it will be. Thankfully, you came by yourself. I need some membership cards for my friends”

“That will be easy to do but what will I get in return?”, he asked

“A cheap and stable channel for Romanee Conti”

“Deal. Pleasure working with you. I am available anytime, just call”, he left after kissing my cheeks.

“Charming everyone as usual. Are you feeling the eyes on us?”, Paul asked.

My face changed and I said seriously, “I have felt it for a while. I hoped they weren’t here for us. Since you feel them also, let’s do a classic. I go to a private room upstairs. If they follow me, follow behind and we deal with them as the situation demands. Tell Xander to be on the lookout. I hope you have your silencer.”

“I go with it everywhere”, he replied.

I went upstairs as planned and there wasn’t even time to talk before they tried shooting. That’s how we got into this situation.
