Chapter 10

Elliot's POV

Do I really need to admit that I have feelings for my client? That I already like him? I will not give any meaning to that kiss if it's nothing right? I won't be this crazy to protect him if I'm not worrying too much and I won't be hurt by whatever he says if I don't have these feelings for him.

I did nothing but sigh. I'm becoming stupid. UGH. But I can't shake it off my mind, his soft red lips touching mine. I don't know why all of a sudden I started to feel like this. You know that feeling when your heart starts to beat really fast like it was having a race with a cheetah every time he is near with me, being intoxicated with his expensive perfume and having this feeling of joy whenever a smile is sketched on his gorgeous face.

But unfortunately, he doesn't like me nor was I his type. Ouch. It makes things worse when that kiss was a mistake. Ouch. It was a mistake for him. Ouch.

Maybe because I am only his bodyguard. Maybe he wants to put me in my place where I am nothing but a bodyguard.

What bad luck for my first love. Maybe I was meant for priesthood. Oh God please I don't want to die a virgin. Huhuhu. I kept processing the events today that I didn't realize that he was following me to the kitchen.

"Elliot..." Dmitri said. I ignored him. I was about to open the refrigerator when he grabbed my left arm.

I faced him half-heartedly. I am tired of his shit.

"Is there something you need, Mr. Maxwell?"

"...Please. Talk to me. I am very sorry."

"You don't have to say sorry. In fact, I do have faults in there too. I should have pushed you away. I didn't like it anyway so the feeling is always mutual." Lies. I can't help it but to get hurt at my own words. It feels like a poison that slowly eats inside.

He let go of my arm. "Then why are you ignoring me? I know that what I did was wrong. I don't have the right to kiss you, that's why I'm saying sorry."

"Even though I'm gay, I still have my own dignity. It's not right to steal kisses, especially their first ones! Now leave me alone. I still have a lot of work to do. Shoo!"

"I got your first kiss?" He said smiling. So what? What's done is done. It's not like he can return that kiss to me unless he kisses me again. Oh Elliot, stop it. I just sighed.

"Yes. Now go away. I have to work."

"Wait! I just want to know how your wound is. Did you clean it already? Do you want to clean it again? I can clean it for you." He offered.

Ugh. It will be hard on my part if he does that. Plus I'm trying to move on here. I don't want to be a fool.

"I'm fine; I am still alive and kicking. You don't need to worry nor panic over a bullet graze. It won't kill me."

"Are you sure?" he said worriedly. What the hell is wrong with him? Why worry so much?

I give him a fake smile and nod.

He sighed and stood up as he walked away back to his room maybe.

Don't be a fool Elliot. I have to kill whatever this attraction I feel inside of me before it blooms or else I will be doomed.

I just shook my head as I watched the footage of the security camera which was captured from the Investigation Department where Sheryl escaped.

"What the heck?" I asked them.

"Isn't it obvious? It's Sheryl and one of the guards having sex. That pervert guy." Liam replied.
