Her Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 23 - Games

His arm over my neck, holding on to me , I place my hand over his hip. He wasn't badly injured but, he was definitely bleeding and it was something I didn't like.

I didn't like seeing William and Jensen's blood on each other. I felt useless, trying to stop them. Like I could ever stop these men fighting. We continued walking up to the house, up the stairs he groaned but never hinting a sign of weakness. Jensen wasn't weak, he was strong and brave. 

He wasn't alone, they were both strong brave men. I admired them both, but William was stubborn, but then again so was Jensen.

Walking to my room, I open the door for the both of us, I walk him to my bedroom sitting down, I walk back and close the door. He groans holding his stomach, how were these two even alive? 

I speak, "I'll come back." I leave him there, I was to the bathroom grabbing some alcohol and a few cotton balls I kneel in front of him .

It has been a few weeks since the whole incident outside of my balcony. As the days pass the tension between William and I slowly becomes unbearable, it's like the silent treatment is torturing me somehow, and I can't begin to understand why. Maybe, I do know why but, I just can't bring myself to accept that there could be something more between William and me. After, that kiss we shared but, was never spoken of and we knew it had to be spoken about. This treatment is killing me. He acts like I'm never around anymore, like he's guarding a complete stranger.  

Everytime I try and make eye contact so, he can give me a sign that he's over and. that he forgives me for what happened in the balcony a few weeks ago, and the fact that he almost lost his job. I don't know exactly what this job means to William, and I don't know how to feel about it either. I search the kitchen cabinets for seem jam early this morning to add it to my peanut butter, I sip my cup of milk, making my way back to the sink, I fix myself my sandwich and place back the jelly.

I look down grabbing my breakfast, I look up and my eyes ... immediately focus on deliciousness. My bodyguard looking more than delicious... spectacular. His beard making an appearance on his face, and me loving the way it's looking on him.His chest hair visible through his v cut . Wow what is this? Where are we going ? His crystal blue eyes quickly avoid mine, he looks directly at the trash can that is behind me. I discreetly gawk at him as he makes his way past me, oh what a delicious smell. Everything about him is just wow.

Emery, chill. Control your drool girl. I turn and mind my own business pretending I'm alone, my heart begins to pounder inside of my chest with a sudden urge to break the silence. I feel daggers in my chest and I know it's not me being paranoid. I look over the kitchen sink to the reflexion of William, his eyes glued to my back almost dumbfounded. 

My heart beats faster

Am I okay? Do I need a hug, what is this and why is my heart beating so damn loud?  I bet he could probably hear it. I clear my throat still amazed in the reflexion of him he jerky looks away . He passes me on his way out leaving without saying anything. 

See this is what I mean? Why is he so dressed up wearing a black leather jacket, books and biker jeans with a v-neck. Where could he be going looking that good? Damn it, and it's so early too. What's going on? I peek my head out the kitchen door, I see his back leaving the living room entering the back pool area, he takes his cell phone out while I watch him disappear. 

I cringe at the sudden thoughts in my head, my heart uncontrollably beating in my chest, I take heavy breaths airing my face with my own hand I begin to relax. I jump when I hear my cellphone vibrate following by the ring tone I quickly pick it jus before Siri announces the caller.
