Max POV
"So, until we get home, how close are you to Lea?" Ask Brad.
I smiled as I pointed my rifle at this taget in front of me,
Dor's!
"You think?" I asked and styled arrogantly when my shot hit the target.
Brad clapped, "Wow, you're a maestro, huh?" Brad Said.
I looked at him from behind the glass booth that separated us in the shooting range with a smile, "The point is just one, focus." My answer.
"Okay, I'll try to focus on the point that I want to be targeted." Brad Said.
Dor's!
Brad's shot hit the left side of the target board, "Lumayanlah. If the target is a human, you shoot him in the arm." My word.
Brad took off his earplugs, "Why should I shoot a human if there's a target board in front of me?" Ask Brad.
"Because many humans are willing to kill each other just to fight over things that are not important there is no price." My heart, and began to point my rifle at the moving target in front of me.
Dor's! Right hit the target doll head.
Brad again clapped, "Are you really a mobster?" Ask Brad again, curious.
I took off my earplugs and glasses and walked into the break room to get a drink, "What do you think of me as a mobster?" I turned the question to him.
Brad downed a drink from the bottle, "That's really cool, Max." The answer.
I laughed, "I'm a mobster, a mobster who only thinks about my land, my territory and taxes. I never really repented until I met Leah. He brought light and changed my life." My answer.
"remarkable. That close is your relationship. Then now? You want to go back? What happened to you and Leah?" Brad asked to know.
"long story. Something magical happened to me." I said, "Lea still refuses to let us go back to how we used to." The answer again added.
Brad sat next to my chair, "I fell in love with him the first time I met. His eyes were puffy and carrying a cup of ice cream. Something interested me in Lea, I mean other than because she's beautiful." Brad Sahut.
The deg!
Shoot it! Shoot Max! I want to shoot him right now!
"I accidentally hit him, his brother was furious with me. They refused to go to the hospital, only asking me for a job. I gave them a home and a job. They look nice and fun." Call Brad again.
Chequek!
I accidentally cocked my rifle, then turned it against a moving target that was two meters in front of me.
Clangs!
On point,
I put my rifle back in peace and looked at Brad who was currently amazed by my shrewdness in shooting. He had no idea that my mind was currently flogging between wanting to shoot him or not.
"They're not sisters. Lea was a single princess while Rue was well like Lea's guard. It's only natural that he was so mad at you when you hit him." My solute.
Brad nodded, "I'm not worried about Max." Said suddenly.
"Worry about what?" I squinted both my eyes.
"You're handsome and you're close enough to Lea, I'm not worried about competing with you. So, let's compete gently." Brad said, extending his hand.
I smiled and returned his hand, "OK. I'm not afraid and I'm not worried either." My answer.

That night I accidentally visited Tom and I invited him to come with me with all the necessities and ingredients to make ice cream.
"Sa...Where do I take Mr Max?" Ask old Tom scared.
"How could I kill you with all your ice cream needs and ingredients!" Tukasku a little bit angry.
Tom is still unsure and refuses to come with me, "Sorry Mr. Max, but I refuse!" Said.
Sure enough Lea has a password, once the name Lea called Tom's face turned cheerful and his eyes twinkled, "Miss Lea? Where is he now? Well sir, I'd like to see Miss Lea." Tom replied at the end.
With a flash he prepared everything I asked for.
On the way Tom hummed and there was no stopping talking about Lea, "Is Miss Lea healthy? Is she okay? I will cry when I meet him. I've taken it like my own granddaughter." Tom said as he hung up his clothes.
"She's fine, and she misses you Tom so I picked you up." My solute.
Tom turned his head towards me and grimaced widely, "Yes Sir." Tom replied happy.
Arriving at Lea's house, I helped Tom to get his things.
"Please wait here." My love to Tom.
Ting.song.
Ting.song.
Shortly after, Rue opened the door for me. He said Brad was inside and showed me where Brad's house was.
"That's her house? Right in front of this house? Goddamnit!" My Tukas don't believe it. It was only fitting that this year he was close to Lea because he was so close.
Hmh! I lost the start.
I asked Tom to come inside, "Let's surprise Lea." Sahut whispering.
Rue led our way, and as soon as we got to the room where Lea and Brad worked, "Lea, look who's coming?" Ask Rue
Lea walked up to us and followed behind Rue, "Tom!" Follow her and immediately embrace the old man.
"Tom, how are you? I missed you Tom. Thank goodness you are healthy and alive." Said Lea.
"What do you miss is me or my ice cream?" Ask Tom jokingly.
Leah laughed, "Hahaha." Answer Lea.
"Good boy." Said Tom.
After a chat, Tom made Lea's favorite ice cream assisted by Rue. And Lea? Brad gave him a super strong glue so Lea didn't move from Brad's side.
Prangs! Prangs!
One crystal glass fell from slipping from my hand, "Sorry, I didn't accidentally." I glanced at Brad and Lea who were not bothered by me at all.
Tom's done making ice cream, I took the ice cream out of Tom's hand and gave it to Lea, "It's your favorite ice cream." My speech.
"Thank you." His heart without paying the slightest attention to me.
How interesting is that piece of paper and the fucking screen that's in there compared to me?
"Patience Max. It's new for Lea and she doesn't understand everything she's feeling right now. All he knows is that he wants to be human, and become rich so that he has a home on earth." Slowly Rue.
"I'm already rich. I can buy him any house he wants." Tukasku.
"It's not a question of being able or not being able to. We are not human, our feelings are not as complex as you, so now Lea is learning what is jealousy, what is love, what is heartbreak or anger. All he knows is happy and sad. It's good to laugh while sad it's crying." Said Rue explaining.
I looked at Lea, "But, suppose she'd like Brad when Lea used to be very close to me. How's that Rue?" Ask weak.
Rue laughed, "Hahaha, that's your destiny. I can't interfere." Said.
Damnit damnit! I'm laughed at! All right, I'm gonna try to get Lea to see me, too.
I took one cherry, then I removed the tip and put it in my mouth. I know Lea loves cherries.
I went up to Leah, "Lea," I called her.
Lea looked at me, "Yes Max?" He said sweetly.
"You forgot the cherry on your ice cream." My solute.
And before Lea looked towards her bowl, I pressed my lips against Lea's lips then gave the cherry directly into her mouth, and within seconds I kissed her gently. Cherry taste kiss.
