“ You know…. I’ve been thinking about it-“
“ About what again Corporal Neo?!” Major. Sullivan at the teasing smile of Corporal Neo before he leans forward to his ears and whispers something. For a second, I thought that it was serious but Major. Sullivan only laughed and called him bluff before he ignores his remarks. After the social event in the garden, everything is back to the normal.
Yes, we didn’t get caught that night and there are too many sweats that I wiped before we faced the furious president of the country. He asked where did I go but the clever Major. Sullivan took the glory and arrogantly said how he found me in the hallway which is a lie! A total lie because he’s the one who dragged and seduced me in the hallway.
For the rest of the evening, I heard an earful to my father and the smirks on my bodyguard face didn’t leave for that night. He is having a fun time watching me get scolded when it’s totally his fault.
“ What ar
“ Someone is pissed yesterday,” Corporal Neo said in a teasing voice while I am busy sipping on my cup of tea this morning. My brow raised because of what he said. Right, I sighed because Major. Sullivan is still pissed or jealous at me. Corporal Neo stops in front of me grinning which makes me scoff at him. “ He runs 10 laps during the night even though the night is chilly,” he added which makes me bewildered. Does that mean that he’s trying to shake the heat off by running?! Corporal Neo is quick to stand and quietly walk away when we saw how Major. Sullivan enters the kitchen room. I am quite nervous too so without thinking, I grab my coffee and walk to the nearest stool. What we did weirded Major. Sullivan because of his reaction. “ What are you two doing?” he hissed before he snakes his hand on my waist which makes me cough. Immediately, I tapped his hands away from my waist because Corporal Neo and Kleo is now sporting a shocked reaction at his bold mov
For the past few days, there is a silent war going between us. Nope, it wasn’t between me or my father but between my bodyguards. Corporal Neo and Kleo seems to get all of the wrong idea and they didn’t want to have any conversations with me. They avoided my attempts of communication and my heart is swelling because of that.“ Do you think they are angry with me?” carefully, I lifted Major. Sullivan’s hand that is resting in my thighs. We are relaxing in my room because the president is not in the house for a provincial conference. He looks at the television for a second before he shake his head and deny my thoughts.With one move, he dragged me closer to his body for a tight hug. “ Don’t mind them, they will soon understand,” he added but I was too worried for the sake of our relationship. Recently, I know that I am falling and I am falling hard that everything about these things scares me.
It was sticky and uncomfortable. I didn’t know how did I manage to even have my dinner with the prime minister after what happened inside the restroom. Luckily, he didn’t suspect anything but the man who made me uncomfortable is back at throwing dagger stares in our direction. He’s not even hiding his glares but he boldly look at us with his rage. “ It was such a nice evening.” The prime minister commented after we arrived at the front gate waiting for his car. A force smile flashes to my lips to acknowledge his words but the truth is that I want to run in my room and change my clothes especially my soaked underwear. My feet steps backward when he leans forward and attempted to kiss my cheeks. He laughed at my reaction but it didn’t stop him from kissing my lips instead. Because of shock, I can’t instantly react and push him. “ Good night Amara,” he softly said, caressing my cheeks and hopping to his black sedan car. He looked at me one more time before the car
“ Are you stressed?” Someone asked from the photo launching but I can only give them a shrug and a small smile to hide what I am really feeling. Work seems to be more heavy, then I realized that I was accepting every offer to clear my mind about the feud that I had with Levi. Yes, no more major Sullivan because his thinking frustrates the hell out of me. Everyone became quiet when a pair of shoes stopped in front of me, “ Here’s your water, madam.” Levi, my bodyguard stood still in front of me with his hand stretched out to give me the water that I ordered around. Like a princess, I opened my mouth and signals him to make me drink with his own strength. He clenched his jaw but nevertheless, opened the bottle of water and let the water drops in my mouth. “ Go and get out of my sight,” I commanded him before he quietly turns around and obey my order. Someone commented about my harsh treatment but they shut their mouth when they saw me glaring to them. Co
“ Levi?” “ Major. Sullivan?” “ Hello? Are you inside?” Another knock and I decided to quietly open the door of Levi, my boyfriend, before I sneak in. My cheeks felt so hot thinking that he’s now my boyfriend. The night is deep and only the sounds of the crickets are still awake in the house but I cannot sleep thinking about his message. After the dinner, which is, by the way, I didn’t even enjoy it, the president and the prime ministers decided to call it a night but they ended up doing some business, so here I am, in the middle of the night sneaking into my bodyguard's room. As quietly as possible, I walked towards his large frame bed but momentarily stops when I saw him convulsing. It sounds like he was whispering some inaudible words and his sweats are dripping on both sides of his forehead. “ You can’t…. don’t leave me,” he uttered in pain which makes me panic. Is he having a nightmare?! Instinctively, I pat h
My feet are aching and my skirt is rising up into my legs because of how steep the mountain that we are climbing. Levi told me that he will take me on a date but I didn’t expect that this is the kind of date that he meant.I stopped walking and looked at him. “Let’s go down,” I suggested because my body is tired. It’s been what? Almost 5 kilometers… I guess we are mountain climbing for 5 km and my body can’t take it. My legs are all aching and if they can only talk, they will curse Levi for bringing us here.The brute only smiles before he kneels down in front of me. “Come on,” he gestures to his back before cranking his neck to look at me. Poutingly, I hopped on and he lifted me as if I didn’t weigh anything.“You needed to eat more, madam.” He teased before I can feel him intentionally squeezing my butt. He mockingly shouts when I pulled his hair but a playful smile is displays on his lip
“And now…for our last entry for this year’s charity event, may we call upon the stage, the president’s daughter, Ms. Amara Ildefonso.”The crowd applaud as I approach the mini stage where the emcee is waiting for me. Father didn’t tell me about this event not until, this morning. Levi is sulking because he doesn’t agree with it. However, father threatened another marriage proposal. A threat which made me accept going to this event.Noises from the crowd can be heard as I approach the leather seat situated at the center of the stage. The light is in dim brown making the ambience more appealing for this event. Below are the gentleman and some elite conglomerate of the country. I don’t understand this part of politics, because sometimes when I attended this kind of event it almost feels like it was just a bunch of jokes for some elites.However, I do not have a choice for being the president’s daughter requires
“ W-What..” I cannot utter words whilst my hands slightly pushed Major Sullivan away from my body. I can feel his toned chest from his suit. My lips parted as I saw his smirk, his arrogant smirk.He chuckles and gently pinched the top of my nose. “ You’re shocked that I can afford you for a half-million dollars? I’m hurt, Amara,” he manages to joke as he pulls my hand to join him on the couch.I cannot still believe that he’s here. “ B-But you’re just…”“ A bodyguard?” he finished his sentence, raising his eyebrows as he looked to me. His hands is now busy as it pours a bottle of champagne into our glasses.I bit my bottom lips because that is exactly what I thought. My eyes wander around his body, the expensive black suit that he’s wearing. The signature leather shoes and damn, the gold watch on his wrist told me that this is not my bodyguard.&ldquo
