The Bodyguard

Chapter IX

Chapter IX

Noah grabbed my arm and put me behind him where Prince Char wasn't even visible to me anymore, and happiness washed over me.

"Princess, did you give your bodyguard the right to interfere like this? It's extremely ridiculous." His British accent got thicker for some reason. I felt angry, my mind was telling me to stay behind Noah, but my gut was telling me to defend him. I grabbed Noah's arm, and pushed him around. I smiled and he nodded as if he knew what I was doing. I made my way in front of him and I faced Char directly.

" You will never speak of him like that again, he's my bodyguard and my friend. And it does not give you the right to tell me what I do and what I give permission to do ridiculous. He's here protecting me, you can at least give him respect for that.Now if you'll excuse us, Noah and I are going for lunch." With that I turned around to face Noah, whose eyes are literally gleaming with excitement and happiness. I then grabbed his hand and started pulling him towards the way that I was walking. I was trying to get away from Char as much as I can. And Noah being here makes it ten times more great. I still can't believe he came, or how he knew how uncomfortable I am with Char holding my arm.

We made our way into the palace and then Noah stopped moving, he didn't let go of my hand though.

"Bella, where are we going?" He said with a weird, but cute smirk on his face.

"To lunch?" I didn't look at him, I kept my gaze towards the door the we came in from. I let go of his arm even though I really didn't want to. I just didn't want him to feel uncomfortable with me holding on to it. But before I can set my hands to my sides, I felt a hand grab me again. Noah grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him. I didn't know if I was dizzy cause of Noah holding my hand or because I haven't eaten. But I'm pretty sure it's neither since darkness surrounded me and the arms that grabbed me on the plane have grabbed me again. And at that moment I didn't care what was happening to me.

My head was pounding, and I couldn't move my shoulder. I wanted to open my eyes but the sun was making it harder then it was suppose to be.

"The blinds." I probably sounded like a drunk whale. But in seconds the sun wasn't anywhere near me, instead the whole room went dark. I felt someone coming by me, so close I can smell their cologne. Cologne? It's probably my father. I started to open up my eyes and my head was pounding every time I opened my eyes wider and wider. everything was blurry at first, but when my eye sight settled I knew exactly where I was. The infirmary in the palace,it seemed so new and clean. I've always hated this place. When I was a kid I use to get sick all the time, fevers, coughing, and every type of sickness any kid could get.

I couldn't see who was standing next to my bed, all I saw was the leather jacket. Wait, what the hell am I doing in the infirmary? What happened this time? All I remember is the happiness I felt when Noah's arms caught me before I fell to the ground. I tried moving, but every time I tried, it hurt.

"Bella you don't have to get up." A male voice said, it sounded so loud it made my head hurt a little.

"What happened? What am I doing here?" I tried looking at the person who was speaking, but I couldn't get my self to turn around. What is going on with me?

" Bella, just rest." The person came by me and Noah was standing right in front of me now. He looked so tired. Bags under his brown eyes. His eyes seemed so drowsy, like he hasn't slept in days.

"No, just tell me what's wrong with me?" I said with an icy tone. What happend Noah?" My tone sounded a little more scared this time.

"Someone tried to poison you again, but this time it was even worse. Someone tried to paralyze you Bella." His big brown eyes were flooded with water, but they stayed there, no tears strolled down his face. Someone tried to poison me? Again. I wish I knew exactly whose doing this, I mean I just want to have a conversation with them. If you want to kill me, at least do it right. I mean seriously, if your going to kill me do something that would guarantee it. I wonder how long I've been out.

"How long have I been out?" I looked at him, trying to make him feel like I'm okay. I mean I am okay, I'm alive aren't I?

"About three days." He said looking away from me. Three days? Three freaking days? What the hell did this person put in me? And it still didn't kill me, so jokes on them.

"Three days? Hmm, well at least I can say that I'm well rested?" I tried joking but it wasn't working. "Any leads on who might have done this?" Noah's face spoke his feelings. He seemed angry, sad, and tired all in one. Why would anyone do this? Who can hate me so much to the point where they want to paralyze me? I mean I don't remember having any enemies. I've always been nice to everyone,I don't know why anyone would do this. But the question is, Why is Noah so upset?

"I'm so sorry Bella." He looked me straight in the eyes. Sorry? What the hell?

"Wait, why Noah?" I was confused. Why is he sorry?

"I couldn't do anything, I couldn't save you. I could have prevented this whole thing but I didn't. I don't think I'm the right bodyguard for you Bella." What is he talking about. He's the one that saves me every time. He is the bodyguard for me. He's for me. I'm not ever going to let him go.

Whoa there Bella, where did that come from?

"Don't say that Noah, you are everything I need. Your my friend, and you saved my life twice so far. How is it that your not right for me? I need you Noah. You can't leave me."

What is wrong with me...

" Bella, I will never leave you." He leaned towards me and placed his lips on my forehead. The kiss was so sincere and genuine. I felt something I've never felt before, protected. He then leaned back to face me and he was so close I felt his breath on my lips. I wish he would just kiss me. Oh my god I wonder how I look right now, I probably look like a hobo. I've been knocked out for three days, I probably look like I came back from the dead. He was about to turn and leave the room, but before he could turn all the way around my gut told me to grab his arm. And I did. He turned around to face me and I felt my heart drop a little.

"Stay?" For some reason tears filled my eyes and I couldn't hold them back. He almost ran back to my bed and put himself next to me. He put his arm around me and I fell on his steel like chest. It was a perfect fit, it's like our bodies are made to be in each other's. The heat radiating from his body was making me feel secure and at home.

"I will stay as long as you want me to Bella. I promise you I will always be by you." His breath was hitting the back of my head. And when he said that I couldn't help but smile in the midst of my crying.

Wait, why the freaking hell am I crying. Damn it Bella, why do you have to be so emotional?

We stayed in that position for awhile. I asked him where everyone was and he told me that everyone stayed by me until last night. My father had to go see my mother and my siblings in the summer house. The girls didn't leave my side, but they had to go fill some papers out because of school. They we're suppose to graduate like everyone else but they had to leave with me. So they have to fill up papers in order to take an exam, and if they pass their done with school. No pressure or anything.He said that my mother calls every hour to check up on me. The only reason my father went to see her, is to calm her down. My mother and I are opposites once it comes to dealing with hard situations like this, I'm calm but her on the other hand, well let's just say she ends up fainting most of the time.

"Thank you." I said while moving my head away from his warm chest to look at him. I smiled and he brought his hand and placed his fingers into my hair, and moved the hair into face behind my ear.

"I just want you to be safe." His eyes spoke the truth. " I just wish there was a way where I could stop all of this." His voice sounded angry, yet very depressed. He's acting like this is all his fault, and it's making me really upset that he's taking the blame for it.

"Noah, don't blame yourself. Everything happens for a reason. And I'm okay, see?" I have him a huge smile. He smiled back, and l wish I knew what he was thinking.

" I just need you to he safe. I don't know what I would do if something happened to you again Bella." Those words gave me goosebumps and I couldn't help but smile. Our eyes were fixed on each other's and no one can get us out of our gaze. I felt sparks and butterflies making their way through my body.

"Well my bodyguard keeps me safe, and company." I said trying to make him laugh a little. Before he could say anything, there was a knock on the door.

"Princess? Prince Char is here to see you." The old mans voice said while standing by the door. Before I could say no, Char was making his way inside and to my bed.
