Farah Protection.

CHAPTER 2.

Farah

Harry has an evident European accent.

Never in my life did I thought I'd be in a position romanticising an accent but here I was, romanticising my bodyguard. I could feel my shallow breaths just staring at him, I don't know how long I stand there gaping at him until Husam breaks the silence.

"Thank you"he nods towards me. "Princess Farah would need to go off to rest, she's most certainly had a long day"

I smile, seemingly the only thing I could. He didn't smile back, the frown on his face still plastered. I didn't want to judge someone I had just met over a first impression but to be honest it was hard not to.

They both step out and I turn my heel to the double spiral stairs. I like to go bed early, I've gone to bed early for my whole life apart from the gap of high school. My best friend Nabila and I used to stay up all night then sleep in all our classes, at least we did until our parents found out. We were definitely a bad influence on each other but that was what made us so close, we used to be so close, as close as friends can be.

When I'm on my bed, I find it hard to breathe. I think of what could've been, think of what is. I only find peace when slumber hits me.

*

I don't realise I've slept long after Fajr till Niesha wakes me up. I am deep sleeper, no matter how much I don't want that. I am."What time is it"I yawn.

She goes over to open the blinds "8 o'clock"

I face palm myself before finally dragging my feet of the bed. "Is Siham here yet"I ask.

Siham was my assistant.

"Yes she's having breakfast"Neisha answers. "I've prepared your bath"

I still feel drowsy. "Thank you"

I don't take as long as I normally do in the bath because I already to get today over with. I want to be in the comfort of my soft blankets, I sigh rinsing my hair before wrapping my towel. I stride out seeing my full made room, after unplugging my phone. I switch it on.

I reply my necessary messages and forward the others to Siham. I try my best to be active on social media but to be honest it just wasn't my thing, having being in the public eye for so long I had gotten used to it but it didn't make it any less anxious.

"Good morning Ruby"I greet, she's going though her IPad, probably designing outfits. Sometimes I feel bad that Ruby is my personal designer because she would have been worldwide known for she was amazing. Everything she designed was sown by her by bits. She would have definitely been another Victoria Beckham.

"Good morning Princess"she grins. I know she's excited, I'm literally her doll, I mean model.

I groan before sitting on the chair. She laughs"I have so many looks for today, like 'I'm inevitable bitches"

I giggle "have you been watching avengers again"

"Just a few times"she takes of my towel and starts on my hair. Ruby does my makeup and hair, having dismissed all my other artists claiming their work didn't match hers. She was ambitious that way.

"You know I doubt I have any official events"

"Honey"she replies. "You're the Princess, everyday is an official event"

I don't refrain from rolling my eyes. "Something bright then"

"We'll see"she shrugs off.

We're quiet for the rest of the time because I constantly play candy crush for the rest of the hour before we're finally done. After wrapping the white scarf around myself, I make my way downstairs. Ruby following me suite.

I'm dying to eat breakfast. I hope it's waffles, I've been obsessed lately. At the dining Siham is the only one aside from the guards. I take a deep breath realising that today was the first day that I'd be with my personal guard. I didn't know how to feel about that, the good thing was that he wasn't here for now. Lacey drops my shoes and bag before finally going off.

"Princess"Siham acknowledges as I sit down the chair. One of the maids comes to serve my plate and I send her a smile.

"How are you?"she asks. Siham was one of my only close employees that we weren't really well close. She could come off as cold and straight forward but she was a good person and we all had our days just that hers was everyday. Gemini energy.

"Alhamdulilah"I answer. "How about you"

"Good"she answers curtly.

I dive in to my food as she continues her work. It's not waffles but it's pancakes and I enjoyed it way too much. The good thing was that I always eat light if not I would have gained a whole lot of unhealthy weight. "Would you like us to go over your schedule?"

I nod.

She starts off. "The Joy foundation fundraiser planning at 11, Princess Kiara's baby shower at 2, Ali School of Medicine grand opening at 5:30"

I sigh in relief after hearing today's plans. Nothing too major and limited, I mean I had been dying to start planing my foundation's fundraiser which was coming up. And my cousin's baby shower would be the highlight of my day. Kiara or Koko as we all call her is my closest cousin, we get along so well and she's one of the only people I relied on, I'm grateful for that.

"Very well"she says. "I'll make sure everything is ready"

She's about to stand up when I speak. "Siham, your nephew handles the employee hirings, right?

"Yes, Princess"she answers. I could tell she was confused, she didn't know what I was heading at.

"Could you please get me all the guards resumés"

She's perplexed at my question but she nods anyway.

"I'd like it now please"I add.

"Of course"she agrees.

Going through all my guards resumés would be hard but I was determined to find Harry Andino's. I needed to know more about him since I was going to spend so much time with him. At least that's what I told myself.

The wait takes forever before Siham finally brings it over. I excuse her off and hurriedly open them, I'm too eager to wait. They're thousands of them and I almost give up till I finally stumble upon his.

His face is the first I recognise. Those blue eyes, I fight the urge to not get lost in them as I start to read the only information of his.
