The President's Daughter

Protection

Jordan's P.O.V

I rub my eyes and sit up. I look around and it's still kinda light outside. 

"What is going on?" I mumble to myself. I stand up quickly and fall back down from dizziness. I crawl to the top of my bed and I grab my phone. I see multiple messages from Taylor,

Where are you?

Are you coming?

And 4 more messages like it. Then it dawned on me. Taylor!! We had a date today. I jumped back out of bed and ran to my bathroom to freshen up. 

Once done I ran out of my room and out to my car. I swung open the car door, jumped in and put the key in the ignition. I backed out carefully and drove quickly to her house, driving a little over the low speed limit. 

*********

10 minutes later I ran up her porch and banged on the door. When her door opened she stood in the doorway wide-eyed. Her eyes narrowed into splits as she glared at me. 

I put my hands on my head and pushed my way through the house, hoping she'll forgive me. 

"Taylor, I'm so sorry. I fell asleep and..." I trailed off and turned around to her soft brown eyes and huge smile. 

"What?" I asked stepping closer. 

"Nothing" she shook her head and began to walk away. My hand quickly lashed out to grab hers. She snatched her hand away and held it up to her mouth laughing as my face stayed serious. 

"Taylor, what's so funny?" I asked. 

"You!" she laughed. 

"Me?" I pointed to myself.

"I knew you fell asleep, Austin told me" her laugh was more controlled now. 

I felt my brow furrow as I thought about Austin and how he had said she was hot, "Austin? W-What did you guys talk about?" I asked nervously. Her smile disappeared and stepped back, "We talked about.....you" 

"What about me?" I challenged, she shook her head and walked away. 

I could tell she didn't wanna talk about it  so I changed the subject walking after her, as I found myself doing a lot. "Still wanna hang out?" I asked. She turned around and a small smile played on her lips, she pushed it away and nodded, "Sure" she answered. 

********************************

"I don't like this" she moans and I grab her hand and help her out of the car--because her vision is no loner present, thanks to my blindfold idea. 

"Why?"

"I don't like not knowing what's ahead" she whispers. I close her car door and I guide her to the door of the Huge shopping Center. 

"Ready?!" I ask smiling as I stop her in front of the door.

"I was born ready.." she says confidently. I take her blindfold off, and she grimaces. Yes!! All this trouble I went through earned me a grimace. She looked up at me with those piercing brown, secret holding eyes. 

"What?" I turned and faced her. She was still facing the mall once she answered,

"I don't.......I don't really like malls. I'm sorry, I should have told you. I'm a tomboy...." she admitted. 

"It's fine. I probably shouldn't have asked Austin for girl advice anyways." I say, tucking my hands into my comfy jean pockets.

"Austin?" she disgusted her laugh for a cough.
