Bad Boys Who Become Bodyguards ✔

Chapter 17. Loveless.

-Kara-

I. Hate. People. I have been standing at a dress shop in town for an hour now due to a long line at the cash register. I have my dress chosen for Saturday and I am very excited. It's a beautiful baby blue color and it's flawless, I wish I was this dress, to be honest. AJ doesn't know that I'm out today, he's having a guys day with his friends.

I was supposed to hang out with Masie today but she's too busy hanging out with her new boyfriend Mikey. He smells like an old litter box and he obviously never takes a shower but Masie loves him so what do I know? The line moves forwards a small bit and I shuffle forward, trying not to hit the woman in front of me.

She already seems pissed off anyways today. This line is not making her day any better. I look out past the line and I see the cashier and a person arguing over jewelry and the person slams her necklace on the counter before exiting the store. That's when the line starts moving a bit quicker.

A few minutes pass and I reach the cash register. "Good morning, did you find everything alright?" She asks me, taking the dress off the hanger it was on. "Yes, I believe so,"  I say, paying for my dress and getting out of the store. I walk to the car and enter the driver's seat, heading home to get some work done.

When I arrive I see a note on the door that reads, "Kara, I hope you had a fun day shopping and yes, I know you went shopping you're not very good at keeping things from me. -AJ" I rip the note from the door and step inside, seeing pop cans and Dorito bags on the counter. At least they're on the counter and not the floor.

I set my bag down on the couch, starting to clean up the mess the boys made here. I throw the cans in the recycling and I throw the chip bags in the garbage. I hear a ding come from my phone and I walk over to the couch where my bag is. I unlock it, seeing a message from an unknown number.

Unknown: Hey Kara, it's Trystan.

Kara: Go AWAY. I blocked your number for a reason!

Unknown: Can we at least talk? I'm not that cruel, am I?

Kara: Yes you are! You're literally heartless and loveless. Now leave me alone!

I block Trystan's number again and I shove my phone to the bottom of my bag. Ugh! Why can't he just leave me alone, I'm happy with my life. He doesn't need to go and ruin it for me. I start walking to my room until I feel a pair of arms grab me and spin me around.

I laugh and get set down to look and find my wonderful AJ. He kisses me on the nose and hugs me tightly. "Hi beautiful, I haven't seen you all day!" He says, giving me one last squeeze before letting go for me to breathe. "I saw you this morning before you guys left for your movie," I state, folding my arms over my chest.

He shrugs before spinning me around again, making me laugh the whole time. He sets me down and walks around the house, looking behind and underthings. "What are you doing?" I say, walking.

"I know you've got a dress hidden here somewhere." He says, running to the kitchen to find it. He looks around and starts to get annoyed since he can't find it. It's literally in my closet. He runs to my room and comes back with the dressing-case in hand.

I flop on the couch and he squeals with excitement. I tell him to unzip the case and he does, eyeing the dress silently. He doesn't take the dress out of the case but instead, he takes a picture of it with his phone. 

He zips up the case again and looks at me, walking over to where I'm sitting. He stands in front of me, looking down at me. He grabs my face and kisses me on the forehead gently, "you'll look smokin' on prom night." He says.

I chuckle at his response to me and he smiles. "You look beautiful either way." He says, sitting next to me. I rest my head on his shoulder, both of us interlocking our fingers together. I feel AJ's eyes on me the whole time.

I'm glad I have AJ. I feel safe, protected, and loved by him. Unlike someone I know, AJ's not loveless.
