Chapter nine: girlfriend  

Carol POV 

Walking through the mall very excited because well Leonel accepted to move in with us, he of course will have to sleep in the sofa-bed. Valentina wasn’t all aboard on this but eventually accepted and that is good because I know Leonel will show her and even Michael that he is a good guy. Speaking of Michael three days ago was the night we all had dinner at the burger restaurant. I haven’t seen him since then, all I can think is that he is getting to know Boni. Michael said it is not his name but a nickname but I still have no Idea what his name. Hand in hand we go inside a store to buy some blankets for Leonel, I know he can bring with him his, but I feel better if we buy new ones.  

As we look around at everything this store has a girl who keeps staring at us finally says something to the girl next to her and then walks to us. I stay keeping my eyes on her because well I was trained to keep my eyes on those who may look for us. When she is near enough, she calls for Leonel “hey Leonel? Oh god I haven’t seen you in a while since you quit at the coffee place.” She says as she hugs Leonel, I raise an eyebrow at her since Leonel let go my hand as soon as she called his name. I can tell she is American, tall maybe five eight or something, long blonde hair. As I check her out her words replay on my mind she said he quit? Didn't he said he was fired? Then Michael comes in my mind, he said not to trust Leonel, Valentina even said it.  

I come back from my thoughts when Leonel calls for me “are you alright? I have been calling your name for a few now and you don’t answer.” I shake my thoughts away realizing that the girl that was here talking to him is now gone. “she, she said you quit” he smiles at me and I know that whatever he is going to say I will believe. He leans in his lips brushing my lips as he plants a kiss in my cheek, “I told everyone I quit because I didn’t want them to know I was fired.” I shake my head, shaking all my doubting thoughts away because I truly believe he could never lie to me.  

We keep shopping for a few more things, things I need on the apartment, things for Valentina even though she hates when I buy her things. She says I buy to much thing for her and she doesn’t like me spending my money on her. She still doesn’t know where the money comes from, from my family, Leonel in the other hand he likes how much I spoil him.  

After maybe three of four hours of shopping we finally are ready to go home, putting everything in the taxi that had waiting for us for almost twenty minutes. 

Getting in the apartment Valentina has some noise coming from her room I walk to her door with the bags of the things I bought for her. I knock and she asks for me to come in, I go in her room “hey what is it that you are doing?” Her room is a mess and thrust me her room is never a mess, all her clothing is laying everywhere. “Oh I am trying to find something nice to wear I have a date in a few” a date, wow “well then I came to save you because I went shopping.” I hand her the bag, she looks through it and finds a red with pick dress. “this will do thanks” she hugs me and then head to the bathroom.  

I tell Leonel about Valentina going out and he tells me we should as well, so as soon as Valentina got out of the bathroom I enter. Valentina and I were done getting ready at the same time, since she did her make up very nice by the way. I didn’t do much just something simple, Valentina looks at me and then she smiles “going somewhere?” “yes I think I should go out as well,” “well why not make it a double date I am meeting him at the Eight Bar, the one on the other side of the city.” “That will be great” I say smiling big because this can be the chance, I have for her and Leonel to actually get to know each other. 

We get to the bar and Leonel whistles at the view and he is right, this place looks fancy like really fancy. They have a small area outside with tables and they even like a small kind of restaurant-bar, then huge double doors, with two big bulky men standing there checking ID’s. The sign of the name has a in blue the number eight and in red says bar, we walk to the guys at the door. They don’t ask ID’s I guess we look old enough. We walk inside and the lights in this place makes it seem much more like a club, the music is loud, theirs the big long bar against the wall people getting drinks. By the front window's small tables for two. I keep looking around and that’s when I realize the floor, is a wood flooring except for a round part in the center made of tile. “That’s the dance floor but it won’t be open till in about fifteen minutes” Valentina screams so I can hear her through the music. 

“What do you mean open?” I cream back at her, she then points to the far end on my side, a station for a DJ but its empty. So, I nod at her understanding, so the music now may not be for dancing I guess, we walk to the bar by the end where a guy in blue stands. He walks to Valentina grabbing her hand he plants a kiss in the back of her hand I smile. They look cute together, “I love you smile” I hear Leonel on my ear I smile even bigger. Ever since I met him, I feel like I smile for everything, I am happy with him, the guy with Valentina then introduces himself and Leonel introduces me as his girlfriend. I guess is true I am his girlfriend, even though if he never asked me but it doesn’t matter because I like him that much. I think I might be falling in love with him and hard.  

Once the DJ went up on his station the music started and people soon filled the floor dancing, Valentina takes my hand leading me to the dance floor. We start dancing while the guys just stare at us, I have never seen Leonel looking at me with that expression. I can’t fully read it but I think it might be lust, Valentina turn my body around so we are facing each other the guys watching from our side.  

I got to be honest here I don’t know how to dance is not like Michael and Adriano let me go out much when at home. The good thing is Valentina knows this about me and she does know how to dance, her hands roam her own body as she softly swing her hips. I don’t think I can do it as sexy as she is doing it, she winks at me before taking both my hands. Both of our bodies coming closer to each other, her hands rest on my hips as she guides me, when I get the hand of it she lets go. Only to then get my hands again but this time she takes our hands up and the air guiding them down. They go down my hair to my shoulders going down to my waist and stop at my hips again. She brings our bodies even closer her eyes on me, I smile at her when I feel Leonel arms snake around my waist from behind. She winks again as she spins around facing her date. I try to turn to Leonel but he grasp my hip preventing me to do it as he guides my hips to the point where I end up gridding myself at him. 

Michael POV 

These past days I have been trying to get to know Boni a bit he doesn’t talk much since what happened with the burgers and all. I have tried to make peace I mean we are in this together, both of us were force into this loveless marriage the best we can do is get know each other. Maybe we can even become friends, maybe not the best friends but friends to a point where we can leave together. 

So today while I was talking to Adriano I asked him to find me a place where I could hang out with Boni a place where we could become friends. The place that is fashion now is the eight bar so I told him about it he was so happy he jumped around the room. He even went shopping to get himself something nice for tonight his words not mine. Now we stand about to enter the eight bar, he has a smile so big on his face that it even brings a smile on my face. I stare around and notice a few guys checking Boni out, I do the same to see what they are looking at. Boni is wearing black skinny jeans that are ripped from his right thigh and left knee. He has a simple pink v neck shirt that is tight around him, this is when I notice that Boni has a small waist, I keep staring compering his body to a girl’s. Boni has the body shape similar to a girl’s this may be why guys are staring. 

We go in and order drinks, the music is too load for my liking I was never the party kind, Adriano is not me, and me being me I attended all the parties he did. I was the one that took care of him when other drunk guys would try and pick up fights with him. “I want to dance!” Boni yells at me I gesture with my hand for him to go dance. This is one of the reasons we are here anyways to have fun, I don’t like this type of music but he does so go ahead.  

Understanding he jumps down the bar stool and walks to the dance floor, I watch the people around the place. All of a sudden feeling like this was not the best idea, I turn around and order another drink. I take a sip before I turn around again my eyes not finding Boni. My heart rate increases as I look around the place, I start to walk around and I can’t see him. I run my hands through my hair feeling frustration building up, if something happens to Boni I'm dead, my family is dead. The deal made with the contract also said that I was to keep him save or else we pay for it. 

After walking around not finding him I head to the restroom, “f**k!” he is not here, think Michael think. I walk out the restrooms, walking back to the bar check if he came back or something, nothing he is not here. 

Boni POV 

He gestures for me to go dance so I do, I walk to the rest of the people and start dancing I try to seduce him with my movements but his eyes are everywhere except me. Feeling down I decide not to try again but then a guy tall dark skin walks up to me. “Hello beautiful are you alone?” by the accent I can tell he is American I smile and nod. I am alone here in the dance floor at least, he turns me around his hands on my hips as I move his grasp becomes tighter to the point where now I am rubbing my ass at him.
