I shifted gazes and by that, I meant selecting on what portion of his body to focus at. His bulging abs or his wonderfully shaped face, plump full wet slips and oh my as I look a little farther lower, I think maybe I may just get an outline of his dick, what am I even thinking picturing insane things like that. I genuinely need to rest my head, he's my bodyguard, there should be professional limits.
Beginning today, I'm going to not think about him. "Morning Sir." He welcomed showing civility and even his voice was heated. It's Enough to snap me out of my crazy ideas. Thankfully, I didn't get to finish that statement in my head,because otherwise I wouldn't be able to stop my imaginations from running wild all morning. I have to admit, he is beautiful. He had this careless vibe surrounding him that's making me lose my willpower. That fascinated me. I'm usually rigid, harsh yet he's making me fumble without so much as a dialogue. "Get it together Tracy You do neither want nor need a bodyguard. You took care of yourself." I warned, forcing a grimace on my face. It was very hard holding it there while gazing at him. It's like my insides turn to jelly. What's happening to me? He's the enemy not a buddy and surely not an attraction either.
"You are the new bodyguard. Antony . You came on time, that spoke good of you."His name took me off- balance for a second but of course, my father delivered a compliment to make him feel better and mask that he might be dying soon. Such a handsome face, such a waste. Ah well,it's to my advantage. I shouldn't care, maybe I'd joke around before he gets shot at by some random thug. "I would like to chat with you for a minute. At my office, so we may accomplish everything." My dad's conduct triggered something to stir within me. Antony becomes my bodyguard, yet I've omitted a chunk of their conversation? Once again, dad dearest decided and treated me like a kid. I clenched my fist in annoyance watching them depart. This time, however, I resolved to do something about it and silently follow them to eve's drop on their chat. I may find out something juicy,preferably something about his life. A clue. "Take a seat. You've been briefed already.
Are you okay with your salary? If you're not, we could work on anything." The voices are weak, but I can make out those words from my dad. He deceived himself thinking the money would be used to buy his way out of everything. Despite the worth of human life, I've never felt this much-disgust for anything before. "No Sir, it's fine by me." He responded. For a minute there, I figured he'd be like.every social climber who comes across my dad. I mean this work is incredibly risky. It would be justified to ask for more money therefore why does he agree immediately? Why has he been so different? I listen further trying to find the slightest excuse to feed my hatred towards him, he already scored points by being drop dead handsome. "My daughter's life is the most important thing to me, thus I want you to be close toher.''He requested eliciting an eye roll from me. Like I am a fucking toddler.
I'm sorry Mister, your daughter? I'm going to guard your daughter?"He questioned and from behind the door, I heard the surprise tinged in histone. I smiled maliciously at myself. He had no clue what he signed up for."Yes."My dad reacted in a neutral tone.
This was becoming fairly interesting.
"I simply expected that it'll be you."Antony answered in a strained voice,almost as if he didn't want to shield me and for some reason, it upset me, or is it my ego? Everyone wants me. Absolutely everyone.
"Not. I can handle myself, it's my jewel who needs protection." I groaned,internally wished he would stop speaking about me like I'm a weak kid. Likewise, I was an adult."Would that alter anything?"My father asked and there was silence for a second or two before he spoke out."Not." He replied, and they were back to talking about the rest of their agreement. The boring elements, his living arrangements.as well as his day offs. All old news to me, so I slowly crept away from the door without making a sound. I was back to relaxing on the couch and my thoughts of breakfast returned.
Minutes later, they both stepped out just as I completed a plate of pancakes. He was going to move into the house, follow me around, and basically, guard me. One last thing Mister Antony ," Dad said, making him halt for a second. They had no clue I was in the dining room listening in."Antony. How sexy." "The connection between you and my daughter is Platonic. Are I clear?"My dad made use of his domineering voice, making me giggle lightly.``Really dad!"I muttered to myself after his mild threat.``
Sir In that aspect there's no problem,I'm a married guy."He said making my face falls.All my thoughts of his sexy,hot, and drool-worthy body broke into a million pieces. It's understandable, any woman in her right mind would leap at the possibility of being married to him,so it makes sense. Doesn't alter that it's such a turn-off. With that in mind, I've found my reason to hate him, so I can get rid of him."Oh really, that's perfect then though it didn't show on your fi
le."
My dad reasoned but I waved it off "We liked to keep things low-key." He answered, making me snort. "Turned off. Back to kicking him out. tracy scott needs no man." I murmured before walking away in irritation. I didn't even know why. "Tracy." My father calls out. I walk up to him faking ignorance.``This is your new bodyguard. "Antony Santos ``Yeah, I know." My subconscious supplied a mocking retort, but I'm too smart to say it to his face.``You're not permitted to go anywhere without him. His room is practically next to yours so getting his attention would not too hard." Huh The final section grabbed every bit of my attention. Curse his marriage. With his room directly next to mine, a lot of things would've been possible but regrettably, he's tied by an oath.
"Mr Antony, you should go fetch your belongings and move in. You can still see your wife,but I hope you appreciate that we should have you near." Dad said, making me scoff. If it were up to me, I wouldn't let him go back home. After having a long bath filled with thoughts of my new gorgeous yet married bodyguard, I strode downstairs, and he's busy watching a movie.Someone's made himself rather comfortable, I heard him move in and our rooms aren't far away at all. We could converse through the barriers. It starts now.
If my dad doesn't fire him, I'll simply have to annoy him, so he'll quit. That'll be simple because I have an immaculate record of bothering people."Game on..." I thought to myself walking towards the Television. I shut it off and I folded my arms, stood in front of him with my arms akimbo. His eyes twinkled in confusion.
"I'm not permitted to go anywhere you're not there. I need to go see someone." I said as harshly as possible and he sighs. Not only that, but I couldn't help but ogle at him, I mean can you blame me?.Everything he does is just so gorgeous and really sexy but no, he's married,and I need to constantly tell myself.Yet, he'll be just unqualified like the rest of them. One week tops and he's either murdered or quits.
"By the way, I hope you can drive? Dying by accident wouldn't be a good look for me. " I mumbled, my voice tinged with arrogance precisely the way I wanted. But then, he did the most surprising thing. Nothing. Not even a facial frown or a sign. Nothing at all. He disregarded my statement, got up from the couch, and made his way outside. At This precise moment, crimson is all I see.
"No one ignores me. Hasn't he read or heard about me? Doesn't he know who I am?
How could he simply walk away and not even respond? Who the heck does he think he is? Oh! Anthony Santos, game fucking on. " I spouted in rage.
He must have felt fairly good about himself,gloating on how much he managed to get under my skin in such a short length of time. Maybe he investigated me and found out a handful of things. He believed he's different. I'd establish that he's badly misguided. No one got to play me that way, much less a pisky bodyguard who had a life span less than a bug. The nerve of the idiot. I did not care what I had to do, I'd find a cause to get rid of him. like he heard my thoughts he opened the vehicle door for me to get in, behaved like a gentleman. I resisted the impulse to call him out for it, saying he's treated me like a kid it would simply be ridiculous. Childish even and I needed serious therapy. I forced a crazy smark and got in. Antony stepped into the driver's seat and began the engine. I hesitated and waited for his next move. The tiniest mistake made by him would be my opportunity. Where to ma'am?" He addressed me appropriately once again, wasting another excellent chance. L ch
I yelled in a high-pitched voice mimicking one that was in agony yet I was in none. I clutched to the duvet in just my bra underneath. It dawned on me that the duvet wasn't bulletproof. One-shot on target and they got me. "Stop shouting!" He snapped, ordering me to remain shut. I nearly allowed myself to jubilate for a tiny response from him. Almost, I was not that foolish. Try to get out of here alive, jubilate afterwards. "I'm typically worth more to them alive. Why is someone trying to kill me!" I yelled out loud. They fired a couple more rounds and I had to clench my lips tight so I wouldn't scream. Glass was being shattered, it appeared we were encircled. "Is Ryder okay?" I questioned, worried as the bullet nearly missed him. I knew I was not concerned about his life as much as the controversy his death would cause. Call me a hypocrite but I had to say the truth. Firstly everyone would know of what we've been doing over the last several months, it would damage my image as w
He got up from his chair and took a deep breath. Ikept my gaze on him. He had better start talking or I swear I was going to move out of his house. I listened to him, I never complained. I did a little but still listened and all these while, he still treated me like a damn child. I'm frigging for twenty-two. I inhaled a sharp breath. He was testing my patience and I was going to blow up soon. Very soon.``I was able to snag a business deal. I had no idea some very powerful people wanted it and now they want me to hand it over." He blurted out. I tilted my head backwards in outright shock. Armed men, guns and danger just for a business deal. The life of his daughter just for money. He placed such little value on my life and he was my father. If he acted like this how would others who barely know me act?"So hand it over dad," I whispered, forcing my emotions right back down. This was why I never opened up to anyone. I acted cold for this singularreason. Even my father did not care
I strode to the car full of fake smiles. My emotions were fairly under control that explains why I was not crying. Sadly, shopping was just a distraction. It's my only distraction whenever something happens although right now, the only thing I wanted was to get into my tub then cry until I felt nothing. I cried until my eyes got swollen, my mouth felt sore, limbs would be weak and my heart, mind, soul and body were numb. I can't do that, I had appearances to be kept up. I needed to keep up the bossy-bitch attitude and suckit up. "Took you long enough." I fired at him on sighting in. I'm glad he arrived just in time. A second more and I might let a tear or two seep out.The moment he stepped into the car, I scoffed at him pushing his buttons."I was talking to your father." His tone is hard,professional, cold, zero emotions. His words annoyed me in ways I cannot explain. He also mentioned the man who caused everything. I refused to call him my father. "Alright, whatever. We're
took his towel off and changed into a skin-tightgown showing all my curves before handing it over to the maids as he requested. I settled down, reduced my impulsive attitude and took the time to plan my next action. My face was reflected in the mirror as I appliedmakeup. I did not like too much of it so I justbrightened my face. Then, I grabbed my phone, my purse and left the room. My heels clicked on the tiles with every step I took. My dad stood in the middle of the living room watching me like a hawk. His lips twitched a few times. He tried to speak but no words formed. Finally, he overcame his trance and decided to talk to his daughter. "Tracyl, are you going out today? After everything that happened yesterday. Don't you think it's wise to stay home and rest? The maids will get you anything you want. Just ask darling but please don't go out." Unlike before, he didn't try to force anything on me. His tone was pleading and his lips were begging me to stay back home.
I was squealed in extreme happiness. Never in my life had I been so happy to see a maid. I could just hug her now. I won't, but I wanted to show her how much this meant to me.Then, From the corner of my eye, I noticed the looks she gave us before settling the towel. Her stay lingered on more than it should and my gratitude turned to annoyance. She knew her place in the house. My actions were none of her concern, yetshe's keen on poking her nose where it does notconcern her. I was sure the other maids were going to have a long day discussing Antony and me. I gave her one last cold look before she shut the door. Focusing on Antony , I noticed his downcast look. His smile, a hundred per cent fake. My dad taught me how to notice things, so I became very good at it. For a second there, we got close. He was not protective, and he opened up to me. Was he enjoying spending time with me so much that he forgot his wife? was still a bit perplexed. "What wife?" The words he uttered m
I could be very patient when I wanted to. Today, Antony made me into a very calm, gentle and patient person. I'd show him who was boss. Me not him. Tracy Scott would show him just how fierce I could be. He ain't seen nothing yet.After a few hours, I got tired of standing outside but wouldn't cave nor relent. I went downstairs for a glass of water, gulped it down feeling refreshed then returned back to waiting. When I reached his room, I had to lay on his bed and nearly dozed off. I shut my eyes but I was well aware of the happenings in my surroundings. As tired as I was, I would not cave in. Antony cannot win! I get what I want! No matter what! I will not fall asleep.Eventually, he came out, and I got what I wanted. Just like always. We exchanged words and I proved my stance. We were going to the mall regardless of what happened or what would happen. I brought him down and left him tired with no other option than to give in. I won. "I was waiting for your wife to call." I bit m
I lost track of time, the journey seemed a little longer on the way back. Coupled with the fact that I could not wrap my mind on his conversation with his wife. Strangely, she only called him once a day, during the evening or at night. Even more strangely, I stalked my bodyguard's phone call history. Even in my sleep, Antony clouded my thoughts. The screeching of the tires jacked me conscious. A yawn escaped my lips, as I felt exhausted. Still, I was not feeling sleepy. Tired, but not sleepy. I had lots of rest today, courtesy of Antony , and his crazy stunts. Asmile crossed my features, remembering today. Itwas an extremely crazy, fun, and wild day. I enjoyed it to the fullest. "Finally, I need to rest."He blurted the words out, almost staggering, as heopened the bonnet to get my things out."Aren't you going to call your wife here, I don't want to hear you two tonight please."I whined, rolled my eyes, and stepped out. Hechuckled, then sighed like he was trying to refrainfrom
