Secretly Talented

Chapter 17 

I woke up to light shining through my window and realized someone had opened the curtains and was now moving around my room. I tried to sit up and found that Alex was still asleep and had his arm across my waist preventing me from moving. I smiled at him then remembered everything that happened last night and the person that was in my room. I opened one eye, so I wasn't blinded by the light, then the other. I looked around and saw a guy sitting in a chair by the door watching us. I let out a little shriek that immediately woke Alex up. He sat up quickly and almost fell off the bed. Any other day I would've laughed at him but right now I had to figure out who this guy was and what he was doing in my room. Alex saw what I was looking at and before I could say anything he pulled me to him, put a protective arm around me and said "Who the heck are you and why are you just sitting there watching us like some creeper?" The guy chuckled and I couldn't help but feel the warmth in his laughter. He looked up at us and said "I'm sorry if I scared you Emma. I'm your new bodyguard, Bryce." He came to my bed and shook my hand and did the same to Alex then sat back down and waited for us to say something. I finally overcame the shock of him watching me and said "Wow Uncle Simon works fast." They both looked at me with amused looks on their faces while Alex said "After everything you've been through that's all that you could think of saying?" He tried to be serious but I could hear the amusement in his voice. I shrugged and stretched still waking up. I got up and walked to my closet to grab clothes to change into. I went back into my room and saw that Alex was glaring daggers at Bryce kept his gaze forward as if it didn't bother him. I walked towards my bathroom but turned around before I got there and said "I'm going to get ready. Alex, Isaac has some clothes you can borrow. Bryce, don't go into my bathroom while I'm showering or you will be murdered several times over." With that I turned around and walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower, but not before I heard both the boys burst into laughter at my comment to Bryce. I smiled to myself and stepped into my nice hot shower. I quickly washed and shaved before getting out and brushing my teeth and getting ready for the day. I knew that Uncle Simon wanted to go to the police station early so there was no point of making him wait any longer. I was really surprised at how everyone acted about the situation and how I didn't feel as scared anymore. I knew that they wouldn't let me out of their sight for a minute now and even though I liked my privacy, I knew rverthing was for the best and I was happy.  

I finally finished in the bathroom and I walked back into my room to find Alex, Isaac and Bryce all laughing like they were beat friends. I walked over to them and said "Wow I'm gone for half an hour and a miracle happens." They all smiled at me and Isaac said goodmorning. I rolled my eyes at them then went to walk out the door but Bryce blocked it with his hand and said "Woa where do you think your going?" I raised an eyebrow at him and said "Ummm to go talk to my uncle. Did you seriously think I was gonna go outside by myself anymore." I was really close to Bryce now and I finally got the chance to really check him out. He was about 6 feet tall and looked like he had a really nice body. He had brown hair that looked unruly but suited him, his eyes were a rich chocolate color nd they almost made me melt. I know what your thinking, you have a boyfriend why are you fantiscizing over this guy? Well the answer to that was I have no earthly idea. I really liked Alex and I barely knew Bryce but he seemed like a really cool person already and that made me feel different around him. All this ran through my head as he looked at me opening and closing his mouth many times looking very much like a fish. I laughed, grabbed the handle and threw open the door to find my aunt and uncle standing there looking like a deer in the headlights. I looked at both of them with a small smile on my face and said "Did you guys hear what you wanted?" My uncle looked down at the floor embarrassed but my aunt just smiled and nodded vigorously making me laugh again. I looked at my uncle and said "So are we going to go to the police station or not?" He finally looked up at me and said "More like or not. I called ahead and they said that they can't do anything about it considering you have no clue who it is and he hasn't hurt you." This time it was my turn to look at the floor as I said "O ok." My aunt pulled me into a hug and said "O sweetheart don't worry Bryce is supposed to be one of the best on the job. He wont let that scary man come anywhere near you again." She was talking to me as if I was a baby and I couldn't help but feel a little better knowing I had my family, well most of it anyway. I sighed an went back in my room and threw myself on my bed. I turned to everyone and with a smile I said "Well in that case I think I'm gonna take me a little nap." They all shook there heads and laughed as Alex said "No way you just woke up. I wanna at least talk to my girlfriend every once in awhile." My stomach fluttered when he said girlfriend. I'd never really had a boyfriend, I was never the popular one in school so no one had really asked me out. I sighed dramatically then said "I guess I could do that......" He rolled his eyes at my antics and came and joined me on the bed. Everyone took that as a chance to escape before everything got all mushy. So that's what me and Alex did all day, talked. I'm guessing that Bryce stayed right out side the door because every once you could hear scuffling against the door that made me jump every time I heard it thinking it was the stalker. I knew I was just being paranoid but I couldn't help it! If you were being stalked you would understand. After what seemed like forever Alex and I seemed to run out of things to talk about my phone rang. I grabbed my phone and answered it without looking to see who it was, which seemed to be getting into a lot of trouble lately. Ecspecially now. "Hello?" I heard deep breathing and tensed knowing exactly who it was without having to look. "Emma..... you can't hide from me, even with your new bodyguard, Bryce. Nothing will stop me from getting my revenge! Nothing! "
