His Secret Bodyguard

Part 75

I opened the door, walking past Jeff like he wasn't even there. I grabbed my leggings, pulling them on, not caring that Jeff was standing right there. Surely he'd seen a girl's legs before, right?

"Harry, did you lie to me earlier?" Jeff questioned. "About..." Harry trailed off, playing dumb.

"Did you two sleep together?" He asked, being entirely straightforward with him. Harry looked over at me, but I was busy packing some clothes into a bag..

"No, we were just getting ready. She had to do her makeup, and I had to shower. But there's only one bathroom, so we saved you some time. You're welcome." Harry lied. Jeff was watching me. "Brynn come over here." He said. "I'm busy." I stated, grabbing some shoes and shoving them into the bag as well.

He walked over. Before I could move away from him, he grabbed my arm and pulled the hem of my t-shirt down, revealing my collarbones. I pushed his hand away. "See, don't tell me you didn't sleep with her, Harry." He stated. I rolled my eyes, pulling my arm out of his grasp and going back to packing. "That doesn't prove anything. I've done that to her multiple times, Jeff. Can we just go?" He asked, grabbing his hoodie from last night and pulling it on..

"No. I want you to stop lying to me." He replied. I went in the bathroom, grabbing some stuff from
in there and taking it out to put in my bag. I grabbed a few of the sweatshirts I had on the ground, shoving them in the bag.

"Where are you going?" Jeff asked me. "None of your business." I said, zipping the bag up and walking out into the living room. They followed me. "Brynn. I'm serious, where are you going?" Jeff asked. I shoved my feet into my shoes.

"Brynn." He stated. I rolled my eyes, turning around. "The phone call I had earlier, with the urgent matter. That's where I'm going. I hope you don't expect me to tell you where I am from now on. Also, I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't call me; I don't work for you anymore." I commented, grabbing a few more things and putting them in the bag. Harry was watching me.. I had a few different sets of house keys hanging by the front door, and grabbed the ones to my New York apartment. "Bye." I said, walking out of the apartment and down the stairs.

This place has decent security, and I trust my neighbors. So, no, I'm not worried about leaving my apartment unlocked for a few days. I had my bag slung over my shoulder as I got to the bottom
of the stairs.. I pulled my sunglasses down over my eyes, and stepped out of the building.

I'd called for an airport SUV limo to pick me up, and they were waiting down there, right on time. Two guys were still out there with cameras, and they immediately got off the curb and started yelling questions at me. I opened the backdoor to the car, getting in with my bag and shutting the door behind me before they could get any actual pictures of me. The guy in the front seat looked back at me. I pulled my ID out, handing it to him.

He glanced over it, nodding, and pulling away from the curb.....

•• Harry's POV ••

She'd left a lot sooner and quicker than I thought she would. Jeff turned to face me. "You need to start talking." He said. I sighed. "I don't think I should." I replied, going into the kitchen. I got some food from
one of her cabinets, and sat down out on the living room couch. "Well, I think you need to." Jeff stated, still standing.

I looked over at him, and looked back down at what I was eating, not able to keep myself from smiling. "I knew it." He commented, walking over and sitting on the other couch. He didn't sound as mad as I thought he would. "So you did sleep with her." He stated. I took another bite of the breakfast bar, glancing up at him.

He shook his head, laughing a little. "Of course you managed to get the coldest person in the world into bed." He said. I shoved a hand through my hair, and looked over at the door.. "Are you going to give me any details?" He asked. "Cause nothing ever stopped you before. I mean, how'd this happen? You two were arguing yesterday." He commented.

I hesitated. "She told me she wouldn't go any further with me, because she knew it would hurt me when I couldn't see her anymore.. So, I told her I wanted her to hurt me.. She definitely did that." I replied, already missing her presence.. And it did hurt to think that I wouldn't ever see her again..

He was watching me. "Was it at least worth it? Or did you get hurt for no reason?" He asked. I shook my head. "It was worth it.. She's like..." I trailed off, trying to find the words.

"She's always been different. Her mind works differently, and she has that whole bad history and cold personality. And she's one of the smartest people I've ever met.. But, I've never experienced anything like that before." I explained, going back over it in my mind. "Really?" He questioned, seeming surprised.

I laughed. "You wouldn't think so, knowing her. But.. It doesn't even feel real." I said, running my hands through my hair. "Wow." He murmured. "I know.. She told me that if we did that, it would hurt me. And she kept making sure I understood that, and I thought I did. But, I never expected that." I elaborated.

I opened my mouth to say something else, and stopped, panic running through me. I sat up. "What?" He asked, looking at me.

"I forgot. Damn it, I forgot." I said, standing up and shoving my hands through my hair. I cursed, pacing across the room. "Harry, what?" He asked, confused, watching me. I hesitated, turning to face him. I bit my lip. "It broke.. One of the condoms broke." I stated. The look on his face changed. "Oh my god.. Okay, well does she know that it broke?" He questioned.

I nodded, and started pacing again. "Harry, if she knows, then it's probably fine. She'll deal with it, like she did with Daniel. Except this time it wasn't intentional. You couldn't have known that it would break." He explained, trying to calm me down.

I shook my head, not sure if I should tell him.. "It broke before..." I said quietly, looking at him. He sent me a confused look. "Before what?" He asked.

"It broke when I opened it; so I threw it away. I didn't tell her, and did it anyway." I elaborated. He sent me a look. "Harry.. Why wouldn't you pull out?" He questioned. I ran a hand through my hair, stopping my pacing and turning to face him again. "I tried, Jeff. Her fucking sheets are like silk or something and I slipped." I explained. He sighed, looking at me. "So you slipped.. And you.." He made a motion. "Twice." I said, running my hands down my face. I cursed, and started pacing again..

"She'll handle it. I'm sure that's where she was going." He commented. I shook my head. "I think she forgot too, Jeff. She didn't bring it up once this morning.. You need to call her. She needs to go get that pill." I said, stopping and walking back over. He sighed, but pulled out his phone, calling her..

She didn't answer, of course. He called her six more times. On the seventh one, he handed me the phone to leave a voicemail after she didn't answer again.

I did that, and gave him his cell back. "Jeff, what if she doesn't even listen to it?" I asked, sitting down on the couch, panic still running through my veins. "She will, Harry. It'll be fine." He said.

But, we both knew Brynn was unpredictable...
