I will compensate with more cheerful chapters next, I promise. Also- thank you for reading and being soooo damn patient with me. I swear I get on my own nerves . I'm working on another story - which I hope you'll be able to read soon - and it takes most of my time.
After the shower Mike shaved and got dressed. He changed his shirt twice and finally went with a plain black one. He had a coffee. Then another. The weather was bad and it was going to rain. Mike was trying not to check his phone. And he didn't. Eventually one of the guys called and said he’d pick him up because he was passing by. During the ride the guy must have spoken to Mike and most likely Mike had replied. Maybe they had listened to some music, maybe they hadn't. He had no idea. Because all of that was just background noice. He arrived at the manor and Jesse greeted him at the entrance. He was as livery as ever. They were informed they would be guarding an event tonight at one of the manors. The guys finished what they had for the morning and before he knw it, it was late afternoon. They went for lunch. Jesse sat next to him at the table, talking about everything and nothing. He was halfway telling Mike a story when he realized Jesse was asking him a question. “Uh, yeah.
The gala had started. Michael was occasionally glancing at Killian who was talking to the same old, rich people who always attended those gatherings. Some of the guests were new faces, others were actually really young but still that rich. “How’s it going?” Jesse came to stand next to him, as they were staying to the sides, being invisible to the guests. “Not much. You?” Then Jesse gave him an up and down look. “What?” Mike asked. “You smile too much. “ then his partner’s eyes fell on the perfectly made tie Make was wearing. And he gasped. “You fucking idiot.” He grabbed Michael by the forearm and clenched his hand around him. “What are you doing?” Mike asked and Jesse hissed at him. “Because of my tie?” “Not because of the stupid tie. You smell like him. Are you crazy? Why were you close to the boss?” “I am his bodyguard. “ Jesse groaned. “And now you lie to me?” “I am not.” “Of course you are.” Jesse was pissed. Rightfully so. “Nothing happened. “
Flynn He was pacing around the spacious library. Waiting. Because Richard always made him wait. As if I am some punk he’s hired to clean after his deals. He scoffed but had no choice except to wait. Flynn went over to the window and took a look around the huge backyard. Two dogs the size of wolves were running around, playing. The manor was one of the most beautiful Flynn had ever seen. Something he thought he would never have, but fate was proving him wrong. Flynn had joined the Secret Service at a young age, just like anyone in this job. The reason was simple- climbing the ranks was extremely difficult. One needed time unless they fucked their superiors. Perhaps that was one of the reasons he hated Killian so much. Another was that the guy was always looking at him in such a suspicious way, Flynn could swear Killian knew Flynn was a double agent. “That fucker, “ Flynn thought bitterly, “He’s never done anything important besides being a fuck toy to Richard. Yet, he’s the o
Michael “I can drive you home. “ Mike said once the gathering in the manor was over and everyone began to leave. Killian glanced over to the others. No one had paid any attention to the offer, and after all, Mike was Killian’s bodyguard, there was nothing strange in this. “I will be out in ten minutes, “ Killian said, casually and Mike nodded. “I will be waiting for you in the car. “ The others from the gang still didn’t notice anything and Mike went out. Jesse was out of sight and that was a good thing- otherwise, he would have told him not to do it and all those things Jesse was saying. Mike got in the sports car parked in front of the main gate of the mansion. Killian went out of the building exactly ten minutes after he’d told him he would be there. His boss said goodbye to the others and as he was standing under the brightly lit front gate of the manor Mike noticed again how handsome Killian was. He was smiling, and he was always the most beautiful man he’d ever
MichaelIt was too late to stop it.Mike’s eyes changed entirely and he pulled back from Killian instantly. He turned away but there was no doubt Killian had seen the change.“I’m sorry. “Mike said and tried to get up when he felt Killian’s palm on his back.“Where are you going?”“I don’t want you to see me like this. ““Like how?”“Like…”Like this. That’s the way I am. Killian shifted closer to him and rested his forehead against Michael’s back. Then he wrapped his arms around Mike’s waist.“Don’t go. “Killian said against his skin and Mike didn’t dare move. He was just staring at the darkness of the room ahead of him. There were so many things running inside his head, but he only said the one
Michael He was staring at the endless blue above him. Then his eyes slid down and met with the other endless blue. Although it wasn’t exactly blue, since at this time of the year both the sea and the sky had that grey tint they always had in winter. But today, the weather was nicer and the sun was peeking through the occasional clouds. It didn’t bring warmth but it made the place look prettier. Michael had never been to this part of the country, but it was nice. Calm. Away from everything. He took a breath of the salty air and said. “Let’s run away. “ Killian laughed. “Okay. Where are we going?” “There are many places I haven’t been to. Let’s go somewhere we both never went to. “ Killian thought. “You know, I haven’t really spent much time in the US.” “No?” “No, not really. I’ve wanted to, though. “ “Why?” “I don’t know. “ he said lightly, “Many of the books I was reading before were about those guys who..you know, left everything and went travelling all over the US,
15 years ago Garrey “If you do anything stupid you are sent back. If you say anything dumb, you are sent back. And if you do anything to embarrass me “I am sent back. “ “No. I will kill you. “ “You always say that and then you don’t do it. “ “Until the day I do it. So shut up and walk. “ “I am walking. But I can talk AND walk. “ “Jesus…Don’t you ever shut up?’ He pretended to be thinking. “Sometimes.” “I hope this sometimes comes sooner, then “ I scoffed at him and we walked over to where the place of the meeting was arranged to be this time. As I was climbing the ladder and getting more and more trust from the gang and – above all from Richard, we had the occasional meetings in one of Richard’s manors. Today was one of those times when we met on Richard’s personal property. We stood before the huge house. Killian - I had resorted to calling him Killian because he kept not telling me his real name and this name kind of became his- was watching the huge manor wide-eye
Michael He got directly home after he left Killian to his place. Mike considered dinner, then a shower and going to bed, when his phone rang. He picked it up straight away, without even looking at who the caller was. “Hey, all fine. “ “Mike?” It was his partner, “Oh, hi, Jesse. What’s up? “ “Of course, it’s me who did you expect?? “ Jesse exclaimed. Killian, he thought. “My mother, maybe. “ Mike joked but Jesse didn’t laugh. Mike was in a great mood- no, more than that. All of the things that had happened in the past few days were still something he had to think over. His being with Killian like this was something he had been hoping for forever. He wasn’t just going to come back here and pretend nothing had happened. Mike had even decided to talk to Killian. For real. Sit down and talk to Killian and ask him. Perhaps getting out of here wasn’t such a stupid or impossible thought. Maybe they could really run away and never come back. “Mike?” Jesse asked, “Are you even
