Chapter 10

I don't own the rights to Black Joke I don't make any money doing this I only own my Oc's. Just warning you this manga rated M so is my fanfic so please you must be 18 and older to be reading this you have been warned.

Dun dun dun duuunnn can't believe I'm at the double digits for chapters now thank you reading everybody who has been keeping up with me, now on with the show.

You checked up with Hershel (remember the body guard from the first chapter) apparently he had done his rounds and there was nothing out of the ordinary. You try to be in a better mood but that little run in you had with Kiyoshi still left you fuming a little. But one good thing happened during this night you couldn't help but notice that Pedro kept staring at you every time you walked by. It was past 2 a.m. and the party wasn't really letting up and all the staff was looking a little tired. You were on your second wind and also the five cups of espresso was helping as well. You decide to check in with Mo you see that he's near the kitchen so you flag him down.

"Hey Eve how's everything going?"

"Great", you respond

"Are you sure you look a little exhausted"

"No I'm fine really I am"

"Well say what you want it's illegal for you to work without a break take 45 minutes and have a rest and something to eat order what you want its on me.

"Really thank you I was eyeing that truffle risotto", you say while rubbing your hands together.

"And to be honest I think you've had to much espresso you left eye is starting to twitch and I think it's starting to freak people out"

"Never can end anything on a nice note can you", you say while turning around and sticking you tongue out at him.

You grab your dinner and decide to eat it in you office as you turn you can't help but feel like your being followed so you turned around.

"Oh for fucks sake", you think to yourself.

"What the hell do you want!" you hiss under you breath.

"Why do you think I'm here I understand we left on a sour note and I'm here to apologize"

"Apologize you pretty much called me a pathetic loser"

"Humph", grumbled Kiyoshi

"So your one of those girls that remember things worse than what really happened are you?"

"I'm sorry is this what you call apologizing because its real shit"

"You know considering that this evening is going well and the chance of us working together is high you can try you can try to be less confrontational"

Great he was probably right so far the night have been flawless the customers were happy drunk, well fed and treated as though they were all Casa Nova himself. Not to mention Michael was on fire. Wait a minute how did he know that you were going to run the Mz. Valez in the Osen. He probably had a dirty little spy feeding him information. You made a mental side note to find out who the little bitch was.

"How do you know that I would be in charge of the new cabaret?" you ask.

"I have my ways", he responded calm and cool as ever.

You take a deep sigh because you suspicions were confirmed.

"So who's your dirty little spy?"

"I believe you know her as honeydew"

You can't help but taste bile in your mouth if you weren't angry before you were angry now it didn't surprise you that he gave her up so easily probably self-serving prick.

"Well you can tell her next time you see her that she's fired and if I ever see her around again I'll have her tongue cut out for talking"

"Smooth move little Miss Gangster but you just told me your working for the new cabaret and I just met Miss honeydew tonight, so its true women don't trust other women"

Son of a motherfucker you think to yourself you just literally spoon-fed him information.

"Well my pastas getting cold", you turn around and stomp to your office why does it seem like he's always trying to get under you fucking skin.

Your angrily scarfing down your pasta you can't even enjoy the flavor you hear a knock at your door.

"Come in ", you say with you mouth full of food

"Ugh sorry for interrupting I can back later"

Crap it was Pedro and here you are with a mouth full of pasta.

"No, ugh sorry its okay come in"

"Sorry if I'm interrupting your break I was just wondering if I could ask you a question"

"Shoot"

"So Michael…"

Ah hell you know what's going on to many times has a guy asked you about your hot friend.

"She tells me that your single and I was wondering if I'm not to bold but could we possibly go out for drinks sometime"

"Yes of course, wait a minute you know Michael?"

"Yes we are all childhood friends"

"All?... Then she knows Runover?" you couldn't help but feel a silent hostility between those two.

"Yes, they don't get along but trust me you like him when you get to know him"

Highly doubt it you think to yourself.

"I hope I wasn't freaking you out by staring at you tonight I was just working up the courage to talk to you again"

"No I'm fine really you get used to people staring at you in line of work"

"So how does tomorrow at 7 p.m. sound"

"Sounds great I can't wait"

Pedro leans forward you take the hint and kiss him just lightly though but still it felt good though. Just as you're in the middle of it your door busts open its Kiyoshi he seems taken back but then there was a smug smirk on his face.

"We have a problem", he says

"What is it?"

"Just some pigs bumming around outside I think they have been there awhile"

(Don't be offended I have nothing against police)

"I'll go deal with it hope you enjoy the rest of you evening Pedro"

You begin to make your way to the entrance

"Why are you following me? I can handle this myself"

"I its better to have a partner to watch your back, anyways that was quiet a show back there do you always bring guys to your office for alone time?" Kira said with a smirk still on his face.

"It bothers you to see another man get along with women doesn't it?"

Now it's your turn to be a smart ass a grunt was his response. You make your way out and approach the cop car they see you approaching and they role down their window.

"Sorry officer is there a specific reason you decided to park out here?" you ask.

"Just responding to a call about public disturbance madam", said the officer.

You role your eyes you know there lying clearly Runover and all his men where drawing to much attention something you were afraid of.

"Well this is private property and you can't be out here without a warrant so please move along"

"Look we like Mz. Valez you guys hardly give us any trouble."

"Look guys the lady said beat it and were trying to keep this place kosher", said Kira

"What?" responded the officer

"No pigs now get lost!"

You here the cop mumble something under his breathe and drive off.

"You don't beat around the bush with cops unless you want to be out here all night if you now there out of line its best to tell them to fuck off", Kiyoshi says while pulling out a cigarette and lighting it.

"You still have so much to learn", he adds while taking a drag of his cigarette.

You wish you could put that cigarette out in his eye what ever let him play mentor.

"But if you want some advise I could give it to you one on one maybe in the back of your office"

You walk right up to Kira so you're nose to nose

"I wouldn't take any advise from you even if you were the last man on earth"

You grab his cigarette out of his mouth and stomp it out and walk back to the entrance you weren't going to give the satisfaction of looking back.

Here you go sorry for taking so long to update hopefully you enjoy and review
