Her Bodyguard

Chapter 7

Cecilia's P.O.V

I woke up feeling sore all throughout my body, a sign that last night was not a dream and that it really happened. I sat up slowly as I feel slight pain on my hips and between my legs, I cover my face with a pillow and squeal my heart out. I look at the bedside table to check what time it is and it says half past ten in the morning. I slowly stand up and went to the bathroom to take a long bath to relax my aching muscles, I close my eyes feeling the warm water hug my body and I started to relax. I can't help but remember what happened last night and my body buzz with happiness, sex really is good and it was even more special because I did it with the man I love.

I soak in the bath for half an hour before I decided to get out. I drain the tub and wipe my body with a towel, I wash my face and brush my teeth before applying body moisturizer. Since I decided not to go to work today, I chose to wear a short that only covers half my legs and a crop top. I went down to the dinning room and eat my breakfast, my parents are on vacation at the moment for their upcoming anniversary and so I get to have the manor all on my own.

"Where's Elizabeth?" I ask one of the servant who pour me a glass of apple juice.

"Miss Bryan is at the servant's quarter Miss. Shall I call her for you?"

"No need. Thank you." I dismiss her and continue eating. When I finish, I pick up a tray and started cleaning up my plates, I've been dying to do this really. My parents are against it, saying that the servants should be the one clearing my plate, but I sometimes feel bad, so in a rare opportunities like this, I'll do what I want. I pick up the tray and went to the kitchen downstairs, the head house-maid saw me and she paled.

"Goodness gracious Miss! What on earth are you doing?" She exclaims and hurriedly took the tray away from me. All the servants gather to see what the commotion is about. "If your father sees this, I'm sure he'll get mad like last time."

"But Martha, you know how I wanted to do those things and besides, my parents are not here so it's okay right?" I said innocently.

She smile sweetly at me. "Just for today okay?" That made me smile and nodded happily. I happen to glance at Dimitri and all the memories last night came crashing in one after another against my own will. I know my face went beet red as all of them look at me curiously.

"So uhm. You can go back to what you're doing now, sorry for interrupting." I said and ran back upstairs as fast as I can, even when my body is still aching slightly. I breath heavily and calm myself down before I decided to stay in my father's study to read books. Dimitri came in minutes later and followed my every move, I feel shy all of a sudden and couldn't seem to look at him so, I continue looking for a book to read even though one book already catch my eye. After pretending to scan the first shelf I turn around and gasp when I bump into Dimitri's chest.

"You're avoiding me. Why?" He ask and wrap his hands around my waist.

"I'm not." I said, not looking into his eyes.

"You are. Are you regretting what happened last night?" He ask, concern lacing his voice.

"What? No! Not one bit. I just feel shy, that's all." I confess and buried my face on to his chest.

"Don't be. There's nothing to be shy about." He said and kiss my forehead. I look up at him and pout my lips, he chuckle and kiss me. "So, have you decided what to read?" He ask and scan the bookshelf himself.

"Yep. It's this one." I showed him the book 'Pigs in Heaven'. I went to my usual seat when I read books here and open the first page before looking back at him. "Do you like reading? You can read whatever you want here."
