The Little Ifrit

Friends?

JAMES POV

Not again!!!!!!

Oh man she was good at this.And when I mean good I mean really good. I can't believe that I just got fooled by a seventeen year old girl AGAIN!! Like seriously I have some dignity okay? I deserve some self respect.

"Oh hi James.."

Ahh she's returned...finally...safe...

"I see you've returned safely home Miss. I really do hope that you would just give me a hint before going away like that.."

"Well I can't help it James..I mean really..you fell for that 'I'm going to powder my nose 'thing for like..I don't know...seven times?"

"It was actually four okay?"

"Hmm...but still how can one be so stupid to fall for the same excuse for four times? It's almost impossible. Do teach me how you do it sometimes.."she said walking past me.

"Miss Ella it is my job to see that you are safe.And I will do it with utmost dedication.You see I just realized what my weak spot was...I believed you.That was my biggest mistake. I believed it when you said you wanted to powder your nose.I believed it when you said you wouldn't run away again.I believed when you said all that.But don't worry that won't happen next time."

That stopped her in her tracks.She turned towards me.

"Good. Don't believe me and don't waste your time following me. My father always tell me that time is money."

Okay I had to play desperate.

"Will you just let me do this? I...I really need this job",I made myself look vulnerable. I couldn't help it I really needed this job.It was my only way back. And I will somehow make my way back. And if that meant that I had to act out being the innocent poor guy I was ready to do it. I was trained to do this. And I will definitely make my father proud.

Silence.

"Fine. Let's make a deal. Okay?", she was the first to speak.

"Well it depends on what type of deal it is.."

"You can keep doing this bodyguard thing but you won't follow me. I get my freedom you get to keep your job. Deal?"

Hmmm...it seems okay. It would give me enough time to do some searching.

"And your father?"

"He won't know. We will save each other. So deal?"

"Deal." I said smiling.

"So James now that we're friends -"

"Wait..what? When did we become friends..?",I cut her sentence before she could finish. I mean we cannot be friends. I wouldn't definitely call ourselves that.

"We just made a deal. And if you are going to be spending time around me we might as well become friends."

Well...actually this might turn out good for me. I can actually do more things with our friendship.

"Umm..okay",I smiled and we started walking in towards the house.

"In that case I need to know your name..I know that I know it.But I don't know your full name. I just know that it is James."

Oh well..she didn't know anything. She is definitely not a threat to my mission. I guess I could be a bit truthful to her.It was only my name after all.

"Me?.. Oh I'm James. James Dalgleish. "

A/N
