Versailles Series Book 4: The Bodyguard [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 27

=== P A T C H ===

I was just staring at the man lying on the concrete. He was of course, writhing in pain.

"Am I dead? Am I dead?"

"I was telling you not to do it." Sabi ni Kylo rito habang tinutulungan itong tumayo.

"What are you?" Tanong ng lalaki sa kanya.

"Uhm...I'm his girlfriend." Nasabi ko na lang. I've never hurt an innocent person before. Ngayon lang.

"Damn, Kylo. I didn't know you like someone like her."

Pinigilan ako ni Kylo nang susugurin ko sana ito. What did he mean by that?

"Sorry. I'm Laurent Llamanzares. Just call me Enteng."

Huminga ako ng malalim. I don't want any encounters during my stay here.

"I'm Patch. Sorry for..." Iminuwestra niya ang katawan nito. "...that. It's a normal defense response."

"I should have known that's what Kylo was trying to tell me."

Tumayo na ito at paika-ika pa. "I better head to the clinic. Have myself checked."

"Sorry again."

They watched him as he walked away. Inakbayan naman ako ni Kylo.

"You are safe in this club, Patch. Winter is screening everyone that enters here. You can let your guards down for now. No one will hurt us here."

Tumango na lang ako. "I'll try not to. There are some things that my body does on impulse. My body has been trained for defense, Kylo. But I'll try. I don't want to break everyone's neck here."

"Good enough for me." Namulsa ito. "Carrie might ask me about this."

"Who's Carrie?"

"The owner."

Napalingon kaming dalawa ni Kylo sa nagsalita. There stood a tall woman, probably as tall as her. She was wearing a large hat with a mesh veil that covered her face.

"I'm Carrie Versailles." Inabot nito ang kamay sa akin.

I accepted it and shook her hand. "I'm Patch. I'm Kylo's girlfriend."

"Nice to meet you."

"Carrie, about what happened-" Singit ni Kylo sa amin.

She waved her manicured hand. "Enteng is a grown man. He'll live. Besides, I like your girlfriend. I like strong women."

"It won't happen again." Sabi ko pa rin. This is a peaceful place and I don't want to ruin the serenity.

"Welcome to the club. I hope you enjoy the amenities. I know Kylo will take care of you."

"He will..."

"I'll see you around."

We watched as she walked away with her assistant.

"Is she normally like that?"

Tumango si Kylo. "I met her like that. No one has seen her face ever. We just let her be and keep it that way. She probably has reasons."

"Okay..."

"Gov!"

Nakita ko ang paglapit ng isang lalaki rito. What caught my eye was his green aquamarine eyes.

"Hindi mo man lang sinabi na dumating ka na."

"I just came this morning."

"Fine, fine." Tinignan ako nito. "Hi, I'm Rizky."
