Clockwork Assasins

Hired

Cassandra's POV

"So...am I hired?" She said with a smirk. All of the jaws of everyone in the room is on the floor and I'm not an exception. What do you expect would be my reaction? For gods sake! The girl just shoot five people without breaking a sweat and she just asked if she is hired?

"Who are you really?" My father asked her and she put on her shades again so I can't see her eyes. She shrugged and pointed at the head guard.

"You." The head guard pointed at himself.

"Yes you. Tie them up and get information about who hired them. The sooner you make them sing the sooner this bab--I mean this guarding job is finished." She ordered them and the guards quickly followed. They drag the injured men out of the room grumbling. Once they were out of the room Xena turned her back to us.

"Excuse me for a minute,I just want to confirm something." She said over our shoulder and she fished her phone in her pocket. She put it on her ear and waited.

"Hey dad. The job said that I just need to babys--I mean guard her until they identified who wants the little princess dead right?"

What the hell? Little princess? Did she just called me 'little princess'? Oh this girl! It doesn't matter how gorgeous and dangerous she is,no one called me little princess! There is only one person who can call me little princess. I stomped in her direction and tap her on her shoulder.

"Wait a minute. Can't you see I'm talking to someone?" Oh this girl is really testing my patience. I stood in front of her and grab the phone then throw it on the wall. I heard my parents gasp but I don't pay attention to them as I grab the front of Xena's shirt and yank her down so we're face to face.

"Don't you call me 'little princess' again." I said through gritted teeth.

"And why is that little princess?" She said with a smirk. Her cool breath fanning in my face and that is how I notice the distance of our faces. I look down at her full reddish pink lips that curved into a smirk. What did she asked again? Oh right.

"Because the only one who can call me little princess is my true love." I said proudly and she chuckled.

"Where are you in a fairytale?" I blush and move away from her. Just being near her makes me forget what I want to say.

"Go to hell." I said and she laughed.

"Already been there princess. So if you will excuse me I need to call someone so I don't have to be your body guard for long." She turn a round and walk out of the room without looking back. I stare at the door and at dad.

"Tell me you're not going to hire her." I pleaded to him. He shook his head and give me an apologetic smile.

"Sorry pumpkin but just bear with it until I get another guard for you." He said and I sighed. So she's going to be my body guard for the moment. Might as well start to like her even though she gets under my skin easily. Gorgeous but still a irritating jerk. I remember her eyes and wonder where did I saw that kind of eyes before. Her eyes really looks familiar.
