On The Edge

Chapter Fourteen.

Jason's POV

Blaine looked very serious as he introduced me to my new bodyguard, I'm all for women rights but I have my pride so male or female, I.don't need a bodyguard especially a 5'2 woman shadowing me all the time.

"I don't need a bodyguard.", I told him, "in fact the only thing I'm in danger of is you."

"it's for your own protection, Cailen has one. So do you.", he replied stubbornly.

"no I don't, I.can take care of myself . it's not part of the deal."

"look, you were in am accident not two days ago and today, you want to go to work, I'm fighting the urge to tie you to my bed so the only way I'm letting you go is with protection."

"give me a condom and let me go.", I was teasing but obviously with all the money he had, he couldn't buy himself a sense of humour. "fine, let's compromise, the nice lady...", I pointed to the woman in the suit standing at the door, she was like a statue, no expression. "can drop me off at work, I think I'll be safe at the police station. Then when I'm closing, she can pick me up."

"fine. But you have to call every one hour make sure you've taken your meds and you haven't fainted from exhaustion."

"gee, just tap into the security cameras and spy on me.", I joked.

"that sounds like an excellent idea.", he looked like he was seriously considering it.

"don't you dare!!!", I snapped, "that's bordering on paranoia, are you a stalker? I already have an overprotective family, I.don't need an overprotective boyfriend that I'm not even sleeping with. "

he looked at me for a while then at statue lady, "fine, you can go "

"great, I called Cailen's nanny, she'll be coming over the days he doesn't go to school, her name's Joey."

I hoped he wasn't going to run a background check on the poor kid, I left with statue lady following me behind. I stopped by the kitchen to say goodbye to Cailen and Altair. They were sitting on the small table in the kitchen chatting noisily eating breakfast while Arlena leaned against the counter sipping coffee. "good morning, Jason.", she greeted.

"morning Arlena.", I leaned down and kissed Altair's cheeks, she giggled at me, "good morning, princess Altair, did you enjoy your night?"

"yes.", she nodded, I kissed Cailen too.

"good morning, Cail.", I started to raise myself when I saw the big chocolate stain on his shirt, "Cailen, did you take ice cream this morning before breakfast?"

He looked guilty, "only a little."

"Cailen..."

"stop fretting Kenny.", aunt Stevie said as she entered the kitchen she looked perfect, her hair all in place, her face bright and clear, what did she do? Clean up once she woke up, "when you were young, you and Jazzy used to sneakand eat almost a carton of chocolate before dinner, used to drive your dad mad."

I smiled at the memory, "fine but no candy for the whole day, understand?"

Cailen nodded, "good, I'm off to work."

I tried talking to statue lady but she wouldn't reply we drove to work in one of those really expensive black cars in movies that look really expensive and bullets bounce off of them.

I had statue drop me off a long way from the office so no one would see us together, I felt like Jaz when she was in her rebellious teen stage. Sneaking in so dad wouldn't see her.

I managed to get in with only a few very rude but knowing stares and lucky for me only Nikki was around, Terrence and Jannie had gone for breakfast.
