PART TWO OF THE SERPENT
✥The Rich Girl & Her Bodyguard ✥
She had first told me she loved me at 11:20 as my fingers were busy getting soaked by her. Those pretty coloured eyes begged a man who couldn't love to love her just as hard. Her rosy flushed...

6 months later... The wind was howling outside in desperate gusts, rattling the windows of the house while the soft babbles of Katerina playing in her playpen reached me all the way in the kitchen.
I'm blessed to say that our Kat is a happy baby. Her favorite thing to laugh over as of recently is all her father's attempts at funny faces. I'm not too sure if I'm immune to them either.
The only time I've seen Kat truly frustrated and angry was when she first started teething. Her tiny little bottom teeth were going to be the end of us both Octavio and me. When you have a happy baby crying all the time it's almost like someone transported to you in your own personal nightmare. But being new parents, Octavio and I didn't know all the ways we could help Katerina's teething process. Now though, I am proud to inform that I have all of the little tips and tricks under my sleeve for the next time.
As I finished placing the apple pie in the heated oven, I washed my hands to go check on Kat who suddenly had gone a little too quiet for my liking.
My heart that had picked up a notch, calmed back down when I saw our daughter dozing off in her father's arms without a care for the world on her tiny mind. Octavio was whispering sweet nothings to her while watching her before I finally caught his attention.
He instantly smiled and started making his way over to me. When he finally reached me he carefully bent down and pecked my lips twice, "There was not a thought behind her eyes as she tried her best not to fall asleep while playing with her bunny." I gave him a smile back as he pulled away and hummed in agreement.
"She's been fighting her sleep today, looks like it finally caught up to her."
He laughs as he shakes his head before saying, "I'm going to go put her down in her room and change. We can have dinner after."
I nod in agreement as I smooth my hand gently over Katerina's head before adding, "Sounds good, I made apple pie for dessert."
Octavio leaned down one last time and pecked my lips, "My favorite, thank you baby. That sounds perfect."
"Your most welcome, now shoo and go change."

The dinner was perfect and so was the desert according to Octavio who may have gotten a little too carried away with the whip cream. I had made sure to feed and check on Kat who was sleeping away in her own la la land while she drooled before I had gotten ready for bed myself and falling asleep the moment my head hit the pillow. Let's just say it's always a long day when you have a crawling baby in the mix who thought everything was a toy.
But in the middle of the night, I had grown restless and had woken up. I tried to go back to sleep but for some reason I just couldn't. Finally giving up, I carefully removed Octavio's arms from around me before adjusting the covers over him. The man even looked damn good when sleeping with messy hair and everything. Shaking my head while smiling, I made my way over to Kat's nursery to check on her.
The girl was still very much sleeping while she continued to drool away, probably dreaming about a bottle of milk.
Giving her one final onceover, I sighed and made my way to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. The wind continued to howl angrily outside and the windchime that Octavio had nailed outside on the back porch rang frantically to keep up with the weather.
As I turned away from the kitchen window and finished drinking my glass of water before placing it in the sink, a weird quietness filled around me. The vibrant sounds from the windchime were suddenly silenced as the wind continued to scream against the house and the trees around.
Maybe it fell off from where it was nailed. But before I could check I felt him behind me. My front flattened against the kitchen sink as his own pressed into me from behind.
"There you are," He whispered into my ear.
_ I know this is a very short chapter, I'm aware. But the good news is that the next one is almost done so hold your horses people, it will be out within a day or two. But as we wait please tell me how's your week going? I've been so busy that now that I finally have a break I don't know what to do with myself but I guess this hehe. Also has anyone watched any good shows or movies as of lately?! I would love suggestions! I'll leave you guys alone and stop bugging now. _
