"You have a plan?" I whispered.
"Yes, but it needs to be done as soon as possible." He said.
"Ok, but what is the goal of this plan?"
"My mom needs the help, but she will not accept it… The only thing to change her mind is…"
The features of his face transformed to sadness as he continued, "… Is to be fired from her job."
I said, "Fire her…!" he surprised me.
He answered, "Yes, that's the only way…"
"And then, what?"
"Then, you leave it to me, but you need to help her as you said."
I didn't like the idea, "ok, let us supposed that she got fired, and I helped her, what will happen when her leg healed?"
"It depends on you; if you are ready to help her and take the responsibility, let's do the plan, otherwise, just leave it…"
I thought for a while and talked to myself, "Okay… If I helped her, I need to take responsibility, I want to, but I don't know if I'm ready to take the risks and relate myself, plus, the driver told me that I need to be careful of the surrounding people; maybe he meant this… God, I'm lost."
As I looked at Joshua's sad and innocent face, I remembered Sara and how she is an honest woman that does whatever she wants, says whatever she wants. I directly remembered my mom and couldn't say no to him.
"I… I… I will try my best"
-And you can't believe how he jumped at me and hugged me strongly that I couldn't breathe.-
That hug carried so many emotions and made me sure that I took the best decision.
"Let me ask you for the last time… Are you sure about that? Because I don't think I want to see her if after she knows." I said.
"She will not know, and yeah, I'm sure about it." As looking into my eyes, I saw in him Sara junior.
"Ok, let's do it."
After he laughed, he spat on his hand and passed to shake me. I said weirdly, "Um… What are you doing?"
He stilled, smiling, "It's a deal… aren't the mafia to make a deal that way?"
I tried to not laugh and responded seriously, "First, I'm a rich man, not a mafia. Second, even mafia doesn't make a deal this way…"
He got embarrassed, but I didn't want to see him like that. "It's the Vikings who do this!"
He yelled in happiness, "Oh! You watched it! You watched it!"
"Of course! Baby, what you think!" I yelled two and shake his hands.
-He was talking about a great anime about dragons and Vikings called *How to ride your Dragon* in that's anime the Vikings when they do a deal they spit in their hands before they shake hands.
After we laughed for a little while and talk about that anime, I said, "I ask you again, does your mom know you are here?"
He answered, "Yes after you left I asked her if I can join them. She refused at first, but after some begging, she let me go… I followed you, but when I arrived I found only that fat man…"
I interrupted him, "Hey! Watch your mouth!"
"What?"
"He is my friend; you can't talk to him like that!" I answered.
"He is not even hearing." Stubbornly, he said.
Before he finished his word, Jake came and told us from the car's window that his mom was calling, and she is worried.
"Right on the time, Josh was about to leave," I said.
I saw Jake calling one of the guards. "Ok, kid, let's take you home... Brandon!"
I turned and whispered in Jake's ears, "Bro! Is he the best bodyguard we have?"
He answered me, "What? Of course not… I'm the best bodyguard we have."
"Then, you must go with him."
"Hell no!" he screamed.
"Why not?" I asked in surprise.
"Because… I… I have my reasons."
"What reasons do you have? C'mon!" I waved my hand desperately.
"Bro, you scare of baby girls and I fear baby boys, it's a draw." he made fun of me.
I couldn't find anything to say; he was totally right, I just laughed, "OK then, who is the best bodyguard after you?"
"It's James," Jake answered.
"He will accompany Joshua… tell him to take to the hospital and buy him anything he wants."
I crossed the threshold of the gate and turned around, "Joshua! Take care!" whilst swinging my hand.
We walked inside. "I have to say something, Jake," I said seriously.
He got worried. "What is it, bro?"
"Your fear of baby boys will take away the badge of the best bodyguard." I smiled.
"What are you talking about?" he acted like he didn't understand.
"Yeah, deep inside, you know what I'm talking about."
"Man, as a bodyguard, I don't need to protect you from kids." He seemed annoyed.
"No, your job is to protect me from anything."
"Kids couldn't hurt you, man!"
"You don't know that, four hours before, a little cutie girl was about to take away my manhood!" I screamed.
He burst out laughing, "… She what...!"
I laughed too, "take away my manhood…!"
We laughed hilariously without stopping until we entered the house.
"Hey, Joan, what happen…?" Tina was about to ask, worried, but when she saw us laughing, she stopped.
"It's about time, boys! It's Dinner time!" She called while preparing the table.
-We divided the house into two parts:
The owner part; and only the owner have access to this part.
The workers part; some rooms and kitchen and bathroom especially for the workers for sleeping and eating.-
Even though Tina and Jake were workers, they were the only people there who had access to the owner part; my place.
Jake and Tina used to eat with me, "and that is your plate, sweetie." Tina said while giving me my plate.
"Thank you!"
"So, how was your day?" Tina asked.
"Me?" I asked
"No, Jake."
"I have something to tell you." After he cleaned his mouth, Jake said.
"What is it, bro?"
"I'm going to marry." He said.
Tina and I said, "WOW! What a surprise…"
"Yeah, bro, I have no idea," I said in confusion.
He looked shy, "Me neither, it's the destiny I suppose."
"So, tell us who the happiest girl in the world is?" Tina asked.
"Actually, her name is Beatrice and we are expecting a baby soon."
I spat all the food in my mouth, "Beatrice…!"
