THE BODYGUARD

When I was assigned at the Presidential Security Group after graduation, I was hoping I would be one of the details of the President or the First Lady or the former President Mike Bustamante. Then by a twist of fate, I was told that my assignment would be one of the children. From what I have read about the Presidential children, Orion Bustamante is the wild child. I knew I was not going to be detailed to him. I know too that he needed a man. With his reputation of being the worst Bustamante in the history of their family, he does not need a woman. So I am safe. If I will detail Solar or Cosmos, then so be it. But I still want to be the detail of the President.

I remembered when they talked to me before reporting for duty.

Two hours ago....

"Are you listening to me, Lt Corpus?"

"Sir? Y..e..yes sir."

"Okay it's clear then. here is his schedule. Class schedule, review, gym, training....even public appearance. He will be staying at his condominium in Taguig and you will naturally stay with him. Aside from the maids and two other security details. Good luck Lieutenant, I hope you will be able to tame Orion Bustamante."

"Orion? Sir?'

"Why?"

"Orion Bustamante sir?"

"Yes. I thought you were listening to me when I was telling you who you will secure?"

"But...sir?"

"Do we have a problem here Lt Corpus?"

Joweyn, you do not have the right to choose. You are just a new graduate and you my dear will have to accept whatever they throw your way.

"Yes Sir. I will do it sir. Just one inquiry sir, how do you want me to tame the subject sir?"

"In any which way you can, Lietenant. Just remember he's 3rd Dan in Karate and 2nd Dan in Judo."

"Copy on that sir."

You are in big trouble Joweyn. Very big trouble.

Orion Bustamante...you better behave when I am around or else I will make it a point you will have to follow whatever I  tell you.

I have always been a good girl. I fell in love once in College. I thought he loved me like I did him but one night when we went out while I was on break at the Military Academy, I heard him talk to his friends that he is just keeping me cause he needed to please his parents. His father is the friend of my Dad's, they have business together. He said that I am not his type and that I am not that beautiful anyway. I wanted to kick where it hurt the most but then I had to play it cool. When I went back to the Academy, I broke up with him. He acted as if he was really hurt but my friends told me that he had moved on. They never knew about what I heard that fateful fucking night.

SO this guy Orion better behave himself. I hate these kinds of guys. Those who plays around. I heard that Orion use them, leaves then and never loves them. A complete asshole. He just have to watch out and not do it while I am on watch or else he will regret it. But then again....why do I care?

Captain Rivera told me that I should pack my stuff because I will be staying at Orion's place. Unlike the two security detail, I get to stay there. They have their own place in the building but they will stay out of the unit. They did not tell me where they will be billeted. I wanted to complain why do I have to stay in the unit with the starlet, yeah I want to call him that, but I never dared ask. The captain is not one that could be joked around. I just accepted my fate.

The other two security details are older than me and are both Sgts. Thankful for that because older troops know how to respect the younger officer. And you can ask them what you don't know and they will teach you. Unlike if they are younger , they tend to judge you and your decisions. Oh well, I guess it's okay to be living with the starlet than stay with the older boys in their unit. That would be more awkward I guess.

"Corpus, Santos and Garcia are now waiting for you. Have you packed your stuff?"

"Yes, Sir."

And let's go.
