I ignored him and continued walking to the bar, I can hear him behind me, I will just act like he is not here

" Ey Cali! "

" Eros! Man how are you? "

I run to greet my friend Eros, I haven't seen him for almost a week, I miss him, he is so kind to me

" I am fine bro what about you, you seem tired, something happened? "

" No it is nothing, can we go inside I will make a drink for you "

" Yes of course "

I tried so hard to ignore Miguel who sat beside my friend but he keep smirking and giving me sharp look from time to time

" Cali, just give me a beer "

I smiled to Eros as I took a beer and opened it for him faking my happiness

" What about you Sir "

" No I don't want anything "

" But you can't just sit here and not buy anything "

" I will pay for sitting here, fair enough? "

I sighed and looked at him angrily, what makes me even angrier is his cold smile, I can't stand him

Eros stood up and walked towards a girl, this is not fair! you can't just leave me with this Miguel

" Tell me Cali, is your brother fine? "

" Don't call me Cali! and get away from my little brother! "

" Calm down, I am just asking, why are you so rude? "

" Why are you here? "

" Well, trying to convince you to be my bodyguard? "

Miguel said in a playful tone as usual, and smiled provocatively, he is provoking me, I hate him!

" Look I have been trying with you nicely but you are just acting so hard to get, do you want me to use a bad way to convince you? "

" Oh really? "

" You have a little brother, you know I ca... "

" So you are threatening me "

I swallowed furiously, feeling my body temperature rise and fall within seconds, and blood rushing to my head

" No no don't get me wrong, this is not a threat this is just a warning I thought it would be better if I warned you... it is better than finding your brother's dead body in his room? "

He threatens me now and provokes me! I don't know what to do, my brother is my weakness, why do you do this to me Miguel

" Look if you accept this job, I will provide a better life for Chiqui "

" What do you mean? "

" I will let him live in my house, give him his own room, buy him whatever he wants, I will make him go to the best high school in Spain, and I will protect him, the same for you, I will give your own room, buy you whatever you want, and I will give a big amounts of money each month, you have to know... You are the only one who benefits out of all the guards "

" And? what is my job? "

I asked not understanding, I don't see that I'm doing anything, I'm going to get paid even though I don't deserve

" You just...you'll be...well I don't know, you can just watch me, be by my side, not all the time, you'll work shifts with Pedro, he is also my bodyguard, you can keep me updated on deals, and gangs out of the country "

" Gangs... "

" Oh.. I thought you know I am a mafia boss "

That is not bad actually, work for someone who is going to provide a better life to me and my brother and promise he is going to protect us, I think I will accept, even tho this work will be dangerous for me...

" Well...can you give me a day to think about it? "

" Yes yes of course! "

I saw Miguel smiling like an idiot, I really don't understand why is he doing this while he already has guards in his house, that is so weird

He took his cheque book and signed a check for 10,000 euros

" This is for you "

" Why are you giving me this? "

" So you can trust me "

" No I can't accept it, sorry "

" Just take it it is not a big thing "

I took it from his hand hesitantly. In fact, I felt happy, I had never held such an amount in my hand

I smiled embarrassedly as he stood trying to get out of the bar... I called out to him at the top of my voice

" Miguel! "

He turned to me with a questioning expression on his face, I looked at him briefly to say

" Thank you! "

I saw him laughing and then walked away without saying anything. It is embarrassing, but he gave me a huge amount of money. I have to thank him anyway...

What am I going to do with this money? I think I will accept to work for him... He will provide everything for me and my brother, in fact I will not need a salary and I do not need this money that he just gave me

The hours passed quickly, I did not come into contact with any girl that night although I was happy, I was not thinking about girls in reality, I was thinking about my future job

" Capo, look, I need you to take my place tonight. I want to go home "

I asked my friend, he's also the bartender, I wanted him to replace me, I want to talk to my brother about it before he goes to sleep

" Is everything okay? "

" Everything is good don't worry, just do me this favor "

" Okay dude, take care "

Capo patted me on my shoulder as I smiled at him happily, he is really kind

- 11:36 pm

I opened the door, the silence was awkward, I thought something bad happened to Chiqui

" Chiqui!! Where are you!!! "

I screamed as I hurried up to Chiqui's room, I gasped as soon as I saw him arranging his clothes

" You are here... Thanks God "

" What is going on? "

He asked me in a weird tone not knowing why I am suddenly acting like this

" It is just... "

" What happened, you are early today "

" I want to have a talk with you? "
