Chapters of my life

A New Job

I woke up to the beating of Leo's chest and his warm arms around me. Alexander squeezed in between us and snuggled in the blankets. On my bedside table my phone was going off with messages from Larissa saying that our first assignment would be this weekend. It was such an amazing thing to wake up to since my dad recommend, I try to find a job while business is low. So, before I found out I was pregnant I signed up with Larissa and Hollie to be a professional bodyguard for a celebrity. I had been training in the gym and with Larissa for about a month now and my core had become rock sold and my muscles in my legs had become stronger. We learnt how to load and unload a gun in a hurry while hitting a target out of a moving car. I was so excited for my first mission because it was going to be Amy's first premiere on Hollywood street. Larissa and Hollie picked me up in their bulletproof SUV for the training. 

Today we are training in combat and weapons. When we arrive at the gym to 10 laps of the block and then 10 sets of push ups. After around 5 laps we had to put on a weighted vest and carry an unloaded gun with us. Once our combat lesson started Hollie went off and started on the platforms and agility testing. While Larissa and I started sparing in the ring. Most of the time Larissa open but even few times she leaves herself open for one of my hits. We had sweat pouring off us and our hair was stuck to our faces. The last part of our training session was loading and unloading a gun on the run with 20 pound vest on. Larissa and I were the fastest in loading a gun while Hollie were the fastest to get through the course. The sweat was pouring down our faces and our hair was a messy. Our vests were soaked with sweat. We drove all the way to the shooting range to practice our aiming and a kill shot. Larissa handed me a A-22 caliber pistol loaded with 10 rounds. I got straight to work and aiming and shooting the mannequin in the field. All my rounds ended up in either the head or the lower torso which would both leading to death. The one in the head would kill instantly while the one in the lower torso would make you bleed out. Hollie set herself up of the top of the building and firmed a round in the mannequin next to mine. She was using a sniper and her aim was perfect. Every round of hers went into the head of the mannequin. Larissa was busy loading up her Glock 19 with 15 rounds. Hollie was setting up her next round and I reloaded my gun and started firming the mannequin. 

By the end of the day the plastic in the back of the mannequins was melted and full of bullets. Larissa's mannequin's lower torso was full of bullets and melted plastic and Hollie's mannequin's head was full blown to pieces and bullets littered the ground around it. Our coach informed all of us that there was no need for us to practice on the shooting range because somehow, we were straight shooters. It was around 5 in the afternoon when we decided to lock up our guns and leave the shooting range. Leo was on the couch watching the news and Alexander was coloring in the paper. I was so exhausted from today's workout that I dropped my bags at the door and slid into a chair. My hair was messy, and it clung to my face. I striped off all my sweaty cloths and jump into the bathtub with candles burning and Leo coming in to read me the story called Me before you. I sat in the tub for around 1 hour with Leo beside me reading and massaging my head. That night I slept amazing and didn't stir once.
