Bad Boys Who Become Bodyguards ✔

Chapter 16. Catch Me If You Can Smith.

3:46 pm.

I walk into the living room to find AJ sitting on the couch, playing games on his phone as well. "AJ it's almost four we need to leave so we're not late for the party," I say, folding my arms over my chest. 

He groans as I pull him off the couch by his hands. "Why can't we just stay home and watch Harry Potter?" He asks me. I look at him, "You don't even like Harry Potter!" We walk to the door, our hands interlocked.

I grab the keys from the counter along with my phone and I shove him out the door. He walks to the car as I lock the door behind me and I enter the passenger side of the car. After buckling my seatbelt, I look up and see AJ's hand on the center counsel.

I take his hand and we stay like that up until we arrive at Steve's pool house. This house is basically just one gigantic house full of at least five pools. His family has always been rich, everyone knows that.

AJ finds a parking spot next to the house in the yard. I get out of the car and walk to AJ's side as he waits for me. We walk to the front door and AJ knocks before Steve opens the door for us to come in. 

We walk in and the house is full of people dancing, swimming, some are even passed out on the furniture. AJ and I walk to the kitchen to get a drink, AJ grabs a beer for himself and then one for me. I look around the place and try to look for any familiar people I know.

"What's going on in that head of yours?" AJ whispers in my ear, grabbing my hand and playing with my ring. "Just trying to look for any familiar faces," I say back to him. I continue scanning the crowd until my eyes land on Trystan's girlfriend.

I watch as she gives Trystan a kiss on the cheek as they are talking to people. "I'm gonna go swim," I say to AJ, setting my beer on the counter beside me. He nods and smiles, letting me go. I walk upstairs to the pools and I set my clothes beside a chair.

I slip my shoes off my feet and set them on top of my folded clothing. I look around to see that there's no one in the room beside me. I exit the room and look down the hallway to see that everyone is too busy crowding the other three rooms.

I walk back in, closing the large double doors behind me. I sit on the side edge of the pool, letting my feet sit in the cold water. I feel to large arms wrap around the back of my neck and his hands sitting on my chest.

"Everything alright?" AJ asks me. I nod my head and kiss his hand for reassurance, he sits beside me and hangs his feet in the water beside mine. I get a small handful of water and fling it at AJ's face, getting his sunglasses wet.

I watch as he takes his sunglasses off and pushes them onto my face. I laugh at his actions and look back at the water. I feel arms wrap around me and AJ lifts me off the ground and he laughs at me, doing curls with me in his arms.

"AJ put me down," I say, still laughing at his actions. He debates about it for a minute before shaking his head, his eyes looking down at me. "Fine." He says, setting me on the ground. AJ turns away from me and starts walking but I run after him and push him into the pool.

There's a big splash and he comes up, pushing his hair back out of his face. "You are so gonna get it now!" He yells, swimming to the edge of the pool towards me. I start running to the other side and I watch as he gets out.

I laugh and scream as he runs to one edge of the pool and I run to the other. "Catch me if you can Smith!" I yell to him, running to the other side. AJ chases after me and I scream as he wraps his arms around me and throws me into the pool.

I swim up to the surface and laugh, wiping the water from my eyes. I open my eyes and see AJ in front of me laughing his butt off. I swim towards him and shove him underwater, he comes back up to the surface and laughs one large laugh before looking at me.

"What?" I say to him. He shakes his head and walks over to me, "you've got something on your face." He wipes something from my face with his thumb and smiles after. I watch as he just continues looking at me in silence.

He steps forward, his face inches from mine. "I guess I caught you." He says, grinning at me. I scoff and dunk him underwater again. I start walking to the edge of the pool until AJ spins me around and places a hand on my face.

He holds onto my waist and wipes water from under my eye with his thumb. He leans in and places a kiss on my lips gently, before letting go. I look at him and I just smile, "AJ Smith you are truly a prince charming."
