The Bodyguard (GxG)

A bitter reminder

The days following their date were filled with a delicate balance between professional responsibilities and the undeniable attraction that lingered between Mia and Emily. Despite the intense emotions they shared, Mia was determined to keep a clear head and maintain the boundaries they had discussed. But it was becoming increasingly difficult as her feelings for Emily continued to grow.

One evening, Mia accompanied Emily to a high-profile social event. The event was glamorous, filled with influential guests, and took place at a luxurious venue. Mia, as always, maintained a watchful eye on Emily, staying close but not intruding on her space.

As the night went on, Emily mingled with various guests, flashing her charming smile and engaging in animated conversations. Mia stood at a distance, keeping her gaze steady, ensuring that Emily was safe. But as the evening progressed, something caught her eye.

Emily had started talking to an attractive woman, someone Mia recognized as a well-known socialite. The conversation between them quickly turned flirtatious, their body language growing more intimate with each passing moment. Mia's heart began to race as she watched the scene unfold.

The two women moved to a more secluded corner of the venue, away from the prying eyes of most of the guests, but still within Mia's line of sight. Emily leaned in closer to the woman, her lips curving into a playful smile. Mia's breath caught in her throat as she watched, feeling a knot of tension building in her chest.

Then, it happened. Emily leaned in and kissed the woman, her lips moving with a familiar confidence. The kiss was passionate and intense, a reflection of the carefree persona Emily often displayed in public. Mia's stomach churned as she watched, a wave of emotions crashing over her—jealousy, hurt, and an overwhelming sense of betrayal.

Mia's fists clenched at her sides, her heart aching as she struggled to keep her composure. She had known that Emily was a free spirit, someone who enjoyed attention and affection, but seeing her kiss someone else so soon after their own intimate moment was more painful than she had anticipated.

Mia turned away, her emotions threatening to overwhelm her. She felt a sharp sting in her chest, a bitter reminder of the boundaries she had set and the complicated situation they were in. The sight of Emily with another woman brought back memories of the promise she had made to her late wife, a promise that now felt like both a shield and a prison.

Unable to watch any longer, Mia retreated to a quieter part of the venue, trying to steady her breathing and clear her mind. She knew she couldn't let her emotions get the better of her, not in a place like this. But the image of Emily kissing someone else was burned into her mind, a painful reminder of the complexities of their relationship.

As the event continued, Mia forced herself to focus on her duty, pushing her emotions to the back of her mind. But the hurt lingered, gnawing at her, a constant reminder of the challenges they faced. She couldn't deny that she was falling deeper for Emily, but the reality of their situation was becoming harder to ignore.

When the night finally came to an end, and Emily approached her with that same playful smile, Mia couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. She knew they needed to talk, but the words were stuck in her throat, too difficult to voice. For now, all she could do was continue to protect Emily, even as her heart grew heavier with each passing day.
