I jumped up from the couch. Xan's scream filled the house. I grabbed my gun from under the coffee table, running to the kitchen. I turned the lights on when I got there.

Fuck.

"Stop, stop, put the gun down. I brought her here." I got in front of my security guard. Five more of them came into the kitchen, gun's drawn.

"What the fuck?!" Xan yelled.

I sat my gun on the counter, stepping over the glass and walking to her. "It's okay. Just security." I turned to them. "We're good here. Leave us. Now." They obeyed my orders, and left the kitchen. Tears were in Xan's eyes. "I'm sorry. Just security."

She was shaking. "Why do you have security?"   

I stalled. I couldn't tell her that I was in the yakuza. Hell no. "Intruders usually try to get in. They need to keep the house safe while my parents are away."

"Okay. But so many?" 

"Yeah. Safety precautions. I'm really sorry."

She sighed. "It's fine." She looked at the gun on the counter and shivered. "Why do you need one?"

"Safety precautions."

She nodded. "Okay." She looked at the floor. "Sorry for breaking your glass. But, a big man with a gun in the dark scared the shit out of me."

"It's fine. I'll have someone get it up."

I told security to hide in remote areas while Alex was here. I didn't want her getting scared or asking questions. This was exactly what I was afraid of. I made her some pizza to eat and then we went up to my room. I gave her some clothes to wear to bed. I obviously stepped out of the room while she changed.

"My braids are going to be fucked up in the morning." Xan said when I walked in the room. "Bonnetless life is a sad life."

I laughed. "You must be a really rough sleeper."

"Eh."

I had grey sweatpants on and no shirt. I continuously caught Alex peering at my body. Her eyes sneaking on me made my heart flutter. Alex laid down. I grabbed my phone and started to leave the room.

"Where are you going?" she asked.   

I turned. "Guest room."   

"Why? Sleep with me."    

I hesitated before climbing in bed with her. We laid side to side. It was quiet. Too quiet. She turned to me, starting to play with my hair. It helped me relax again. She didn't seem like she was going to fall asleep.

After a while, I opened my eyes. "Aren't you tired?"

She nodded and shrugged. "I guess."
