"Ms. Lopez, we need to leave."
I can't help the eye roll that follows Carter's words. I can't even have a meal with my friends without him butting in and ruining everything.
Carter Walters has been my bodyguard for just over four months, and in that time, he's made my life a living hell. Constantly telling me what to do, where to be, how to act, et cetera.
The first time I met him, I was practically drooling. He has silky brown hair that went down to his chiseled chin, with bright blue eyes that shocked me every time he'd look in my direction. Light skin with a caramel tint with pink lips to contrast. And don't even get me started on the muscles that constantly look like they are going to burst through his button up shirts.
Alas, his asshole personality did nothing but drown out his good looks.
For the most part.
"I'm in the middle of something, Carter." I snap, turning the brat in me up to a solid seven. His jaw ticks, the only give away that my attitude gets to him in any way.
"I won't repeat myself again. We are leaving." He grits out. His glare slightly relaxes, as he seems to think of something. "I don't think your mother would appreciate it if she knew you weren't following simple instructions, Ms. Lopez."
That was a low blow.
Maria Lopez, my bad ass, CEO mother. It's her fault I need Carter around in the first place. She pissed off the wrong people who decided using her family against her was the right move. I went through six bodyguards that were all deadbeats before Carter came along.
Whatever his faults, I can't say he's not good at what he does. I know he is right most of the time, but I'm sick of not being able to be a normal person just because of who pushed me out of her vagina 21 years ago.
I glare at the man at my side, before turning back to the table. "I apparently have to go. We need to do this again soon, though." I tell my four friends. I've been friends with Garrett and Danielle since middle school, but I just met Rita and Tony recently through Dani's college.
"Awe," Tony pouts. "Don't leave." He whines, standing up and walking towards me.
I can't help but laugh. "I'm afraid I don't have much of a choice, babes." I play along with his game, reaching out for an overdramatic hug. Leave it to Tony to brighten my mood. Although, I just barely touched his shoulder when I was ripped back from him. "What the fuck?" I cry out, glaring as hard as I can at the asshole in front of me. "It was a fucking hug, you asshat. Chill out for like, two seconds, could you?"
Annoyingly, he doesn't look the least bit affected by my outburst. "I told you, we have to go."
"Your oh-so-urgent matters can wait for me to say goodbye to my friends." I huff back, walking around him. Rita and Dani hug me at the same time.
"Get some of that possessive dick, girl." Rita encourages quietly in my ear.
"Jesus Christ." I sigh, but a laugh escapes me at her bluntness.
"We can't take you anywhere." Dani laughs as well.
"I want the details." Rita reiterates as they pull away.
