"So is it too early to ask for that kiss?" Michael asked as he suddenly cornered me as I was on my way to breakfast.“What kiss? Ugh, I don't have time for your bullsh*t this morning, Michael." I frowned as I tried to walk away, but he blocked me."Come on, don't you remember? You said if I could convince Dad to let you have your little girls' fun, I would have a kiss. You can't go back on your promise; I've been thinking about it all night." He pouted."I didn't promise you anything, for f*ck's sake. We agreed to help me, and in return you'd be my bodyguard. That's it. I don't understand what crazy talk you're spitting right now." I growled."Sheesh, take it easy. I was only joking." He chuckled, and I rolled my eyes. He was dumber than I expected if he expected me to believe he was just joking.His creepy, twisted mind actually wished I would kiss him. Eww, I'd rather eat hot coals than even dream of doing that."I've got a lot of things planned for today, so I don't have the patien
"I'm so hungry, I could eat a cow. I forgot how draining swimming makes me." Gabi groaned as Clara, she, and I sat at the dining table as the servants set out dinner in front of us."Me too. Honestly, I'm kind of glad we didn't go anywhere today. I'm exhausted. If I weren't so hungry, I swear I would have fallen asleep already." Clara yawned."At least we still had fun today. Tomorrow will be so much better. If Michael was able to convince Pablo," I said."Convince me about what?" Pablo asked as he walked into the dining room and sat down."About locking us in the house like damsels in distress. Did it work?" I smiled."I'm still contemplating it." He said."Oh, come on. You can't really intend to keep us in here forever. It wasn't like what happened was even serious." I frowned."What worries me the most is how nonchalant you are about the situation. Have you ever been attacked before? Held at gunpoint or had a bullet fired at you out of nowhere?" He asked, and I bit my bottom
"I should have known you'd ask for something stupid." I sighed and tried to walk away, but he was still holding me."Wait, can't a guy make a joke?" Michael chuckled, and I rolled my eyes."So what do you want? Or are you just messing with me?" I frowned."I could convince Dad to reduce your house arrest sentence, but it will have to come with a minor inconvenience, depending on how you look at it." He said."Enough with the suspense, Michael. Spit it out." I grunted."So bossy. I can convince him to let you have a bodyguard when you go out." He replied."That isn't too bad. I think it would work, though I don't like a man breathing down my neck. Better than being trapped in the house." I mused."But your bodyguard would be me." He smirked."Why you? Isn't there any other capable man l from the hundreds of people he has under him? What about Logan?" He frowned."Believe it or not, I am literally the best person that can protect you. I'm not boasting, but I know my stuff. I am
"Hey, handsome." I grinned."Hey, gorgeous. You seem to be in a pretty good mood." Lorenzo said.The thought of telling him what had happened crossed my mind, but I brushed it aside. With how Pablo had reacted, he was sure to react much worse, and he would definitely force me to return to Sinclair, which I didn't want to."Of course. My girlfriend is finally here. I missed her so much." I replied."As much as you missed me?" He asked."Maybe? What, jealous?" I teased."No, because I know no matter how much you care about Clara, she can never make you feel how I make you feel." He smirked."Really. And how do you make me feel?" I asked as I twirled a strand of my hair."You know how. Hot, needy, lustful, and hungry—do I need to say more? Have you forgotten how I bent you over and made you scream my name? You remember how f*cking dirty and yet so f*cking sexy it was when I was buried deep inside you." He chuckled darkly, and in between my legs turned hot."Stop that," I huffed.
Pablo arrived at the restaurant ten minutes later with an entourage of six cars, and I cringed at how much attention we had drawn."What happened?" He demanded, and before I could speak, Gabi had already started ranting about what had happened. His face was bright red by the time she was done. "You three should wait in the car. I want to have a conversation with him." He growled as he glared at the manager, who was almost sh*tting his pants. "It's not his fault." I quickly defended the man."He better hope so. Logan." He hissed."Come on, ladies, this way." Logan said as he tried to lead Gabi, Clara, and me out of the manager's office, but I refused to move."I'm not going anywhere unless you promise he won't lose his job or something." I insisted."I can't promise you that. Even if he wasn't involved, he has clearly shown he isn't capable of his job, so he needs to be replaced." Pablo scowled."No, it was a mistake. We all make mistakes. Besides, he isn't the only one at fa
"Hey! Can anybody hear me?! Help! Someone locked me in here!" I yelled and banged at the door.After a few more minutes of shouting and banging, I groaned and hit my head on the door. What sort of cruel prank was this? I wished I had brought my phone along.The main bathroom door swung open, and I perked up."Gwen? Are you in here?" Clara asked."Clara! Thank goodness you're here!" I yelled as I hit the door."What happened? Gabi and I were waiting for you." She asked as she stood in front of the stall."I don't know. Someone just locked me in here." I scowled."What? That's crazy!" She replied as she turned the knob, but it refused to budge. "Wait a few minutes; I'll go get someone to open it.""Please hurry up. This place might be clean, but if I stay here any longer, I'm going to lose my lunch." I said."Don't worry, I'll get you out as soon as possible." She assured me as she ran away.A brief moment later, she returned with Gabi and two of the restaurant's staff, and I
