Guarding The Mafia's Son

Chapter 8

Diamond's POV

The alarm beeps loud enough for all four of us to hear, bringing our game to an end. I can't help but shout our victory, "yes, yes, yes".

Ace shouts, " five to two, we win".

Ace and I laugh heartily at our opponents defeat. Before I know it, I'm in his arms. He picks me up and whirl me around. I don't think I can't stop laughing.

Ace sets me on my feet then. I continue to laugh at the defeated looks on their faces.

"That was fun", I say and bring my laughing spree to a stop.

"You are an amazing player", Trevor tells me and add, "maybe you should the team".

"Um, I'll think about it", I say and wink at him.

Two phones beep at the same time and I watch as Jeremy and Trevor jog over to the benches, and a after a minute, they turn to Ace and I.

They share a serious look with Ace and I see Ace nod at them before Jeremy smiles in my direction.

"I had fun Diamond", he says and plants a kiss on my cheek. I think this is the first time he's said my name.

"Me too", Trevor says and also kisses my cheek.

What's with the clique and kisses?

They say farewell and run off the field towards the lot with their bags in hand. I'm sorta confused. Why isn't Trace – I mean, Ace going with them.

"Hey"

I turn to see Ace gazing at me. My gaze meets his piercing ones and hold. My weak heart starts its usual flatter when I gaze into those eyes.

I think he's leaning forward but we hear a voice call out his name. He retreats with a sigh and I look past him to see Ray and Trent way over the field in their trademark suits.

My breathe falters.

They're not gonna recognize you Diamond!

I catch Ace roll his eyes.

"Who are they?", I ask on behalf of Diamond.

He breathes, "my bodyguards. I'm glad the other two aren't with them".

"What other two?"

He smiles, "Monica and Raina. I'll tell you about them later, friend".

Friend? "Sure friend", I say and end in a sigh.

He laughs and pecks me on the cheek, "see you tomorrow, gotta go".

"See you", I breathe.

He turns and runs over to Ray and Trent.

My hand fly to my cheek. I hadn't failed to realize the spark that had gone through my body when his lips touched my cheek. I just wish it had touch someplace else.

What's with you, Diamond?

Diamond's POV

Matt drops the screw driver when he sees me approaching.

"How's my guard?", he asks with a soft smile.

I smile back, "good. You?"

"Amazing. You earned a pretty good amount last night", he informs me.

My eyes grow wide with misapprehension. I know Matt and I had agreed the money I earned from guarding the mafia's son would go to him to be deposited in my account but what was he talking about?

"Fifteen thousand dollars!"

"What?", I exclaim and a laugh escapes me but wait, fifteen thousand for just escorting the mafia's son and driving him to his mansion? I think I'm gonna stick around this job for some time.

I think I can settle everything for Violette's birthday. That remind me, "Matt, I need your help".

"Anything baby".
