XII - Jealousy

"Kassim! We'll have a guest tonight so be sure you serve them properly, okay?" said one of the service staff.

"Yes, I'll do my best," Kaizo said.

"Hey. Just relax. Alright, newbie?" He said as he patted Kaizo's back.

"Y-Yes," Kaizo replied.

The staff walked away from Kaizo. He exhaled and glanced off the stage. On the stage, Nerissa will perform. About an hour left, Cobra Guzik will arrive at this nightclub. Kaizo disguised as service staff, and Nerissa will be the performer there.

"Getting cold feet?" said Nerissa.

"Not really. I just got cheered up by one of the staff." Kaizo said and touched his earpiece.

"Lucky you," Nerissa said.

"How about you back there?" He asks.

"The backstage area is kind of noisy. The girls are busy preparing themselves. And this thing I'm wearing right now is quite uncomfortable. Even though they said I looked perfect in this." Nerissa said.

"She looks stunning," Grandia said

"Grandia!" She scolded her assistant.

"Oh, yeah? What are you wearing?"

"Y-You'll see it later." Nerissa blushed.

"Alright, fine." He sneered, "Did you get cheered up?" He asks.

"Kind of? They only cheered me because I looked good in this. But the rest of that, I cheered myself."

"Because this is your first mission?"

"Probably." She answered, "Is he here yet?"

"They said he'll arrive in about 50 minutes. Best you prepare yourself, Nerissa." Kaizo advised.

"Yes, captain," Nerissa said.

Nerissa took a deep breath and exhaled all of it. She looked at herself in front of the mirror-her every design and curve.

"Huh... It does look good on me." She thought to herself.

"Nell, darling! Time for your make-up ~" said the make-up guy.

"O-Oh, coming!" Nerissa exclaimed.

For about 45 minutes, Kaizo has been serving all the people in the bar. All of a sudden, the elevator opened. It's a huge crowd but led by a middle-aged man. His slick dark grey hair and grey beard made him look like an older man in his early 40s. He wore a shiny black tux with a silver vest underneath it to cover his muscular body and a pair of shiny black shoes. Judging by his style, Kaizo felt that this was Cobra Guzik.

"Mr. Guzik, welcome to Young and Restless!" The club manager shook hands.

"Thank you." Guzik immediately hands him his expensive coat.

The manager could feel the dark aura grimacing above him, making him sweat as he escorts Guzik to his seat. The rest of his guards found themselves some sofa, anywhere with girls.

"Nerissa. He is here." Kaizo said to his earpiece.

"What?!" Nerissa whispered.

"Yes. Now remember this, Guzik is grey-haired with a beard. Maybe he's in his early 40s-black tux. Do everything you can to make him attracted to you. Think you can do that?" Kaizo questioned.

"Yes, captain. I will." She replied.

"Good girl," Kaizo said.

"Kassim! Serve the guest!" The staff commands him.

"Y-Yes!" Kaizo returns to his station.

As Kaizo serves a drink to Guzik, he stares at him for a while. It irritates Kaizo, so he asks him a question.

"E-Excuse me. You have been staring at me. Is there something wrong?" He smiled.

Guzik scoffed with his guards beside him and asked, "Then, am I allowed to look at a waiter like you? I guess it is up to me as the guest in this place."

"I apologize for asking like that. If you'll excuse me."

Just as he was about to take a step away, Guzik quickly got to his feet and grasped his shoulder. Kaizo got retracted, and Guzik cast a glance at him.

"You know, a friend told me there was a dangerous hunter for power spheres. A strong, confident, and sometimes arrogant individual. He said the hunter is not one to shy away from what others may deem immoral. Now, that hunter has blue hair and red eyes, like yours. They called him "The Legendary Space Rebel." But I think I'm just mistaken. That would be impossible if he is here," Guzik grimaced.

Kaizo fell silent, hearing all the words that came out of his mouth, and felt the pressure above him. But he is relieved that he is mistaken. How could he have known him?

"I apologize for my unpleasant behavior. You may go now." He said as he returned to his seat and a woman crawled over him.

Kaizo quickly returned to his station with a heavy breath. He tried to calm himself by taking a deep breath and exhaling all of it.

"That was so close!" He thought to himself.

The place went dark in a blink of an eye, and the light went red. A beat came to the speaker. The big screen on the stage showed red, and then it went off.

"Is it the time?" Kaizo asks himself.

"Ladies and gentlemen! On the stage right in front of you, we will present to you DESSERTS for this sexy night! We present to you, the Young and Restless angels!"

The red screen appears behind the girls. As the loud music began, they started moving their bodies and slowly showing their curves. Hands travel every inch of the body. Hips swayed. Giving the audience a pre-sensual feeling.

The whole place lights up, revealing the girls who are performing. Kaizo turned an eye on his Princess standing in the center of the stage. She wore a black bra with smooth ring back straps, a black strappy cheeky panty, black thigh-high stocking, and black pumps-style high heels. Revealing her hourglass figure.

Everyone gave their attention to her. Kaizo blushes, heavily seeing her on the top. Elegant, beautiful, yet sensual. He tries his best to keep serving the customers, even though, in the end, he keeps distracted by Nerissa's sexiness.

She spotted her target and prayed to the gods, hoping she could do this. She moves her body gracefully along with the girls beside her. Eyes set only towards him, the mafia boss. Surprisingly, he shrugged the girl beside him, only to watch Nerissa performing.

The performers went off the stage and walked toward the audience, entertaining all the guests present for the night. Nerissa slowly came toward Cobra Guzik. She went behind his back and attempted seduction by exploring his muscular body with her hands. Her breasts accidentally touched his nape.

She moves towards Guzik in the front and sits on his lap. She pulled his tie, making his head closer to hers. He felt her expressively erotic and wild. She moved her hips on his lap and saw Guzik slightly blushing. She unbuttoned his tux, and her hands traveled his vest. Nerissa suddenly felt a blush on her face and shivered as Guzik crossed his hands on her skin and her sides. She accidentally let out a small moan. It makes Guzik even more excited. He pulled the ring strap behind her and let it hit Nerissa's sensitive skin. She let out a small moan again. They both looked at each other's eyes, blushing and breathing heavily. She bit her lower lip.

"What's your name?" Guzik asked and breathed heavily.

"Nell."

"Nell. We'll meet again later, sweetie." He smirked.

"You are being very naughty, sir." Nerissa also smirked.

"And so are you."

Kaizo witnessed everything. He suddenly felt this pain in his chest. The more he watches Nerissa with another man, the more painful it will be. He felt irritated and furious. Then, he realizes this feeling. Perhaps this is what they called jealousy.

The show's over. Staff and performers take a break from their shift time, and Kaizo walks down the hallway. And suddenly, he got pulled out of a door and ended up inside a small storage room. He felt cramped, and his neck hurt.

"Ah-argh! Who?!"

The expression of scowl fades into a blush a few seconds after he spots Nerissa right in front of him.

"How is work going, Kassim? Can't believe you used that name again." Nerissa greets him with a smile.

"What about it, Nell?" Kaizo replies.

"Well, everything went very well so far. Were you surprised when you saw me back then?" Nerissa asks.

"Oh, you're asking me? No, not at all," Kaizo scoffed, "Of course I am. And why are you still wearing that?" He scolds her.

"I admit it. It does look good on me." She said.

"You must be having real fun with our target, aren't you, my Vice-Captain?" He smirked as he touched her chin with his finger.

"Believe me. The man reeks of girl's perfume and alcohol." Then, she sniffed Kaizo, "Even you reek of it. I bet those girls placed their filthy hands on you back there!" She assured.

"Oh, you're the worst one. Guzik had his hands all over you! You even had his scent!" He snapped.

"At least I got his attention! He even almost recognized you!" She also went snapped.

They both lost words and tried to calm themselves. The room went empty for a couple of minutes. Then, Nerissa decided to break the silence.

"Look, let's just hope that Guzik sees me again. I'll give you the signal; you must come wherever you might be later. Got that?" Nerissa asks him.

"I don't like the idea of him touching you again!" He exclaimed.

"What?" She felt her cheeks begin to redden, "Hey. Don't tell me, are you jealous?" She asks.

"M-Me?! Jealous? Who would have wanted to be jealous of someone who has just danced in front of an audience, including me, just to get the target's attention?!" He exclaimed.

Nerissa still glared at him after everything he had just said. She wanted to ensure she wasn't the only one feeling this way. That one glare made him flush.

"Fine, I am!" Kaizo blushed.

Nerissa went silent for a minute then she started giggling.

"Yeah, yeah. Laugh it out all you want." Kaizo smirked.

She laughed and was somehow relieved that she wasn't the only one feeling that way. She stopped and calmed herself down.

"Then, do you want to replace it?" She smiles.

"Replace what?" Kaizo asks.

"Every trace he left on me. Think you can do that?"

"Am I allowed to do this, your highness?" Kaizo smirks.

"Time is yours, captain." She grinned.

Kaizo hugged her lovingly, and so did she. She locked the doorknob so that no one could come in. They both savor the moment and don't want to miss it.

"Huh. This is nice." She mumbled.

"I admit." He agrees.

His hands slowly travel her skin, making her shiver. She tried her best not to release any kind of sound. She felt like this was not enough.

"Take off your gloves. It's irritating." Nerissa commanded him.

"As you wish."

Kaizo took off his gloves using his teeth. She blushes after seeing him like that. He touched her hourglass body and caressed all of it. She accidentally let out a sound. He is shocked, and she quickly shuts her mouth. He teases her by sniffing her naked left shoulder and kissing it.

He is curious about the ring on her back. Remembering how Guzik pulled, it hit Nerissa's skin, making her moan. His curiosity went all over his head. He pulled the ring even though Nerissa begged Kaizo not to, and he didn't listen. He released the pull, and it hit her skin. She let out a loud moan. Listening to it made Kaizo want to fulfill his desires. But, he decided to hold it in. He imagines the soft lip behind those palms.

"Nerissa." Kaizo calls out her name.

"Hm?" She still covers her mouth.

Kaizo gave a peck on her hand, begging it to open, "May I?"

Nerissa gave the courage to release her palms from her face, revealing her lips.

"Come here," Nerissa said.

They kissed sweetly. Kaizo inserts his tongue inside her. Both of them blushed red as they kissed deeply. Nerissa pushes his head closer to hers, begging him to kiss her more.

"Arms behind me," Kaizo commanded.

She wraps her arms on his nape. His hands traveled her thighs and picked her up. He pinned her against the wall and rocked her. The more they kiss, the more voices she will make. He caresses her hair down to her nape while she clenches his hair as she begs for more. One of her bra straps fell over. He continues to kiss her skin as she hugs the man. From her shoulder, her neck, then down to her chest. She pecks his forehand.

"Where's Nell?!"

"Anyone see her?! Anyone?!"

"Mr. Guzik's looking for her! Can anyone tell me where she is?!"

They were still in the heat of the moment. Irritated from the words outside the room. They blushed and breathed heavily.

"Looks like that's my cue," Nerissa said.

"Damn it." He scoffed.

She giggled, seeing him like that, and kissed his cheek. He put her down and fixed her bra.

"Okay. Remember, I'll give you a signal by ordering some food. You must be the one who delivers it. Got it?" Nerissa asks.

"Hey," He pecked her forehand and smiled, "Be careful,"

After he said that, he pushed her out of the room. She touched the place where he kissed her and grinned cheerfully.

"Nell, there you are! Our guest is searching for you!" One of the staff told her.

"O-Oh?! My god, I am so sorry! We have to get there!" Nerissa apologized and left.

Kaizo, on the other hand, stayed inside the room. He went silent for a moment. Remember how deep those kisses were, her breath on his skin, her gentle kisses on his face. He touched his face and leaned on the wall. He grinned cheerfully and laughed. He suddenly felt a hard feeling below his body and blushed heavily.

"Fuck. Looks like I have to take care of this." Kaizo facepalms himself.
