Chapter 14

In
Out
Breathe, come on
Breathe Juliet

I felt my chest clogging. Air leaving my lungs ,a sharp pain in my back. Not enough air, is it hot in here or is it just me.

I hurriedly stumbled out the trying to catch some air.

"Is she okay?" I heard the waitress ask my dad while setting our food down on the table.

Keep going
Keep going
Keep going

I had been walking for several blocks now. Still no air, I started to feel heavy. My body was falling onto the concrete.
I saw someone rushing to me and just as i was about to hit the floor a pair of strong arms caught me. He put me down gently. I opened my eyes, Calvin was there ,I couldn't read his expression.
"You need to calm down and breathe. Focus on anything except your breath. Talk to me it'll help you  to not focus on your breathing.

"Were ... you ...Following us?" I asked him between ragged breaths.
"It's my job,Juliet. I'm more into the someone attacks you and I beat them to a pulp part of this job,but I guess I can handle a bitch fit gone bad every once in a while."

I laughed sarcastically, "You don't even know me." I said angrily "Have you never heard the saying, don't judge a book by its cover."

"Oh please,I've seen you in action. What was it this time? Did the waitress bring you your salad with too much dressing. Or was it  that yet another guy rejected you."

"Fuck you." I said shoving him away from me. "You have no idea what happened, or you'd be sorry right now."

"I've read your file Juliet I know everything about you. Yeah, sure you had a hard life growing up,but so what! You're here now you're alive you get to live another. You get to make the choice to not let something like that define you. Look at you. You're crying, that isn't going to help. You need to make the choice to grow up. To forgive but never forget. You barely remember what happened and I get that you need closure, but you're going about this all wrong. You got to live with people who always treated you like family. They fight for you and protect you. They love you. For who you are. Who you've grown to be. I only know the minor details, but from what I know you're lucky to have people who care for you that much. Some people are starving and have no one in this world. Yet here you are crying over pointless shit. Newflash there are better things people could  be doing right now, making a difference rather than spending their time dealing with a slutty, rich, bi-polar brat."

"No one is forcing you to be here, go if you want to, but there is no way in hell I'm gonna stick around while you outrageously insult me!!"

I shoved past him and hailed for a taxi. Before I entered I turned back to him,we caught each others eyes and I saw something new in his eyes. Sadness and .... surprisingly. Defeat.
My eyes softened. I wiped my tear away quickly and got into the cab.

I gave the driver my address.

As I sat in the car his harsh words kept playing over and over in my mind. The tears kept rolling down until I ended up being the weirdo crying here eyes out in the back of a cab.

There was only one reason for this.

His words hit home,deep down a part of me actually agreed with him,every word he said was true. He was probably following us in another car and as much as I don't like  being followed and enjoy freedom. I'm glad he ran after me. He was doing his job, and was technically saving me from someone.

Myself.

Immediately when I got home I rushed upstairs avoiding everyone. I undressed,and hopped into the shower.

I don't know if anyone really understands the feeling of being overwhelmed, but from what I've felt recently I can definitely say I've come damn well close.

I washed my hair, brushed my teeth and really just cleansed myself. When I finished the bathroom was steamy.
I put on my towel and opened my door.

I didn't flinch

I just stood aiming my cold glare at the man sitting on my bed.
"Don't bodyguards usually do the whole protecting their client thing at a distance. Gee ,I don't know maybe outside my bedroom."

"What would you know about bodyguards."
I glared at him mumbling under my breath just enough for him to hear. "Here I thought I was supposed to be the bipolar one."

I grabbed my cream from the opposite side of him and started rubbing it on my legs. He looked at me from across my bed.
He averted his eyes from me ,a slight blush forming at his cheeks.

Awww you poor little baby. Stuck looking at my gorgeous body in a towel.
I once again glared at him but this time I was suttle about it.

"Is there something you needed or would you like to continue perving over me?"

Perfect,he's blushing again.

"No.I would not....oh no not like that,I mean."
He sighs.
"Seriously though, as you can see I'm multitasking. I evidently don't have time for this."

"I'm sorry ,I'm not good at this."
"Don't make that my problem!" I reply sternly. He stood and walked closer to me.
"Fine. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. I was trying to protect you."
I laugh sarcastically
"From what! Your imaginary friend, oh please spare me the bullshit!"

He ran a hand through his hair. An obvious sign of the frustration I was causing him.

"Listen. You just remind me of someone I used to know and there's something about you that draws me in that urges me to protect you, take care of you... to be with you. That's why I rejected you. We both know that there's something between us, I just wasn't ready to open my eyes. Until this afternoon when my heart broke seeing you so hurt. I gave you tough love because I need you ,I want you and I'm sorry that I didn't kiss you when I had the chance.

He leaned into my a placed his soft pink lips onto my own.

What can I say? The kiss was passionate,exhilarating and beyond what I've ever felt before. It gave me butterflies, made my toes curl.

I gently pushed him away from me. It was silent all you could hear was our breathing slowly getting lighter.

He leaned in again and I laughed right in his face.

"You think I'm gonna let you kiss me again." I laughed some more. He looked at me shocked.
"What? You look surprised." I had a cold amused smile on my face.

"I'm sorry buddy, but that ship has sailed. I'm long over that fetish and no amount of carefully planned words is going to change that. Now if you'll excuse me I need to change."

He exited my room,but just before he could turn down the passage I called out to him. "Hey Calvin." He turned and with a smile on my face I said  seven words to him.

"Karma's a stone, cold bitch, isn't she."

He smiled. "I think you've got yourself and karma confused."
He then turned and left my view.

My smile dropped and in its place a snarl formed.
