My Bodyguard Hates Me

A/N: This is why I love him so much 😩❤️ He's just so amazing!

"So what, were rogue now? How are we gonna get what we need or did you forget that the organization was paying for everything." Mark says giving Theo the stank eye.

We met back up with them at a random gas station a while back. Mark with a bleeding nose and Erika with bruised knuckles. I asked her when we were alone what happened but all she said was that Mark pushed it.

"I know a guy from when I went rogue before, he doesn't have the best manners but he's trustworthy." Theo says to him, trying to ease his rising anger.

"But we may need more help, it's just the two of us against their whole fucking section." Mark says back. "And stop giving me that look Erika. I'm not being sexist just stating the facts."

"Hmph," She walks around the car to him with a sly smirk on her face. "Well, you're facts are incorrect because this girl can put you on your back in 0.1 seconds."

"The only problem is could you make me stay on my back." Mark says slyly, pulling her close to him. Erika blushes and pushes away from him.

"Be serious, right now." I snap finally. "I don't know about y'all, but I have a family. People that I care about in danger because of some bullshit. I would like to see them again, so I would greatly appreciate it if y'all would stop playing around and let's actually come up with a fucking plan."

I glance around at their faces and they have the nerve to look ashamed.

Theo's expressions are always unreadable, but I can feel the question in his eyes as they sweep the length of me.

I look away before he sees the answer.

"She's right. We have to work together if we're going to survive. Mark I know you're mad, but it was a decision that I needed to make. And I won't apologize for it." Theo says and holds out his hand.

Mark nods his head at that and grabs his hand in a firm grip. "You've always been a bastard Theo, but you're a honest one."

A small smile ghosts across Theo's lips, "First, were going to visit my old friend, then we'll go from there."

***********

"Can I ask you a personal question?" Y'all know breaking the silence is my specialty.

"Why?" Theo says glancing at me. "If you ask me about food one more time—"

"It's not about food," I say cutting him off. "Besides, I don't even ask about food all the time."

Bitch, now you KNOW you lying!

When he glances at me again, the quirk in his eyebrow tells me he's thinking the same thing.

"Okay. Maybe I do ask about food a lot, but that's not what I wanted to ask you."

"What do you want to know?"

I hope he doesn't get angry at me. We've been good the past few days.

"Why did you get into this?" I guess I said that right.
