Episode 4

Pietro.

I wake up the next day, it's almost noon. I do my hygiene routine and go out for lunch at a nearby restaurant. After lunch, I decide to wander around the area a bit, it's always good to do some field research. I notice that some streets are completely deserted. After walking for a long time, I decide to go back to the hotel. As soon as I arrive, I see my cell phone vibrating, I look at it and I see a message from Iago.

🟢Whatsapp on.🟢

Iago📲: Are you going to the club today?

Pietro📲: I'm thinking about it.

Iago📲: I wish I could enjoy a little more time with you.

Pietro📲: So, we can see each other tonight at the same club.

Iago📲: Yes, I won't push you, I wanted to get to know you outside the club. You're a handsome and interesting man, I think we could be much more than just a fling.

Pietro📲: I don't think I'm ready for a gay relationship, I'm not out. We can keep seeing each other and getting to know each other. You're a handsome and very nice man.

Iago📲: All right, I won't bother you. But we'll see each other tonight at the club.

Pietro📲: Certainly.

🔴Whatsapp off🔴

I throw the phone on the bed and grab my laptop to do some research on Iago. In the world we live in, we can't trust everyone. After a while I manage to find him on social media, and he's a very famous doctor in Mexico, openly gay, had recently gotten out of a relationship, was the youngest son of a simple family. I pulled his police record and it was clean, never did anything wrong. After discovering everything about Iago, I take a shower and lie down to rest a little before going to the club. I didn't see Valentim all day, he didn't come to my room and I didn't go after him either. I have no patience for Valentim's bad mood, even though I'm an idiot in love with that troglodyte. I'm not obligated to bow my head to him and put up with his constant bad mood.

I sleep all afternoon and wake up, it's already 7:30 pm. I take another shower and get ready to go to the club. I leave the house at 8:00 pm and walk there. I enter without any problem and sit at the bar, grab a drink and watch the movement. I was looking to see if I saw anything suspicious when I feel a hand on my waist and then a kiss on my neck.

Iago: I was afraid you wouldn't come.

Pietro: I told you I was coming.

Iago: Even so, what are you drinking?

Pietro: Whiskey.

Iago: Do you like strong drinks?

Pietro: Sometimes, I like to drink to relax.

Iago: Shall we dance?

Pietro: Yes.

We went to the dance floor and started dancing. I always liked to dance and apparently Iago also liked it a lot and danced very well. I was dancing when Iago pulls me by the waist and kisses me. His kiss was calm and sweet. He asked permission to put his tongue in my mouth, and as I opened my mouth a little to give him permission, I felt my body being pulled quickly and Iago's body being pushed to the ground.

I don't understand anything, but when I look up, I see Valentim's eyes red with anger staring at me. What the hell was going on? I'm screwed, Valentim is going to tell everyone he saw me with another man.

Valentim: This is the f@#$ing reason why you go out at night.

Pietro: I...I...I can...explain.

Valentim: Of course, you're going to explain this shit to me right.

Iago: Who is this man, Pietro?

Pietro: Nobody important.

Iago: So, he has no right to talk to you like that.

Valentim immediately takes his gun from his waist and puts it to Iago's head, who looks at me with frightened eyes.

Valentim: Don't get involved, asshole. Let's go, Pietro.

Iago: Pietro....

Pietro: Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll call you later.

Valentim: Let's go, Pietro.

I leave the club and Valentim comes after me, we walk in silence, nobody said anything. As soon as we arrive at the hotel, I enter the elevator and he enters behind me, we are silent, I didn't know what to say, I knew my future was in the hands of Valentim, who apparently hates me.

As soon as I arrive at our floor, I run out of the elevator and head towards my room door. Before I open it, I hear Valentim's voice.

Valentim: Come to my room, Pietro. Let's talk.

Pietro: I...I...I don't want to.

Valentim: I didn't ask you, I ordered you. Now, come on.

He opens the door to the room and motions for me to enter. I enter the room and he closes the door behind me. I was shaking with fear.

Valentim: Can you explain to me what the hell was that at the club?

Pietro: Nothing was happening.

Valentim: You were holding on to another man, what the f@#$?

Pietro: What's the problem? It's my life, I do what I want with it.

Valentim: You are here for work and I am here as your superior, you are not here to be doing who knows what with another man.

Pietro: My sex life is none of your business, and what I did or didn't do is none of your business?

Valentim: Are you gay?

Pietro: It's none of your business.

Valentim: Answer my f@#$ing question, Pietro.

Pietro: I AM, ARE YOU SATISFIED? CAN I GO TO MY F@#$ING ROOM NOW?

Valentim: I'm not done talking to you yet.

My cell phone started ringing and Valentim looked at me and raised an eyebrow. I grabbed the phone and saw Iago's name on the screen.

Valentim: Answer it.

Pietro: No.

Valentim: Answer the damn phone.

Pietro: NO, YOU DON'T BOSS ME AROUND.

Valentim: Either you answer the damn phone or I'm going back to that damn club and put two bullets in that man's head.

I pick up the phone and answer the call. Valentim looks at me and says:

Valentim: Speakerphone.

I put it on speakerphone, and I hear Iago's nervous voice.

🟢Call on🟢

☎️Iago: Pietro?

☎️Pietro: Hi.

☎️Iago: Are you okay? Oh my God, I was so worried. Who was that man? Did he hurt you?

☎️Pietro: I'm fine, he's just a relative of mine.

☎️Iago: I hope you really are okay, angel. Too bad our night was interrupted, it could have ended like yesterday or better than yesterday.

☎️Pietro: I'm going to hang up, I'll call you later.

☎️Iago: If you don't call me, I'll be worried. Kisses.

☎️Pietro: Kiss.

🔴Call off🔴

I hang up the phone and put it in my pants pocket. Valentim was looking at me with an angry look. He seemed to want to attack me at any moment. He keeps looking at me and then speaks.

Valentim: Did you sleep with him?

Pietro: It's none of your business.

Valentim: Did you have sex with him? Answer me.

Pietro: That doesn't concern you.

In a quick movement, he pins me against the wall and holds my hands above my head. Our bodies are pressed together, I tense up. He looks me in the eye and suddenly kisses me.

The kiss was rough, with his free hand he pressed my body against his. He lets go of my hands and I put them on his waist. The kiss was perfect, I had dreamed of this moment my whole life. After a while he breaks the kiss for air. He looks me in the eye and before I can say anything he yells:

Valentim: GET OUT OF MY ROOM NOW...
