The Bodyguard

Chapter 52

"You accepted" I stated as we passed by a Starbucks.

After Hudson had signed the papers the black man, Rocky, gave him they let us go. We actually had to hurry to catch our plane but I guess we won't go to Fiona's party after all.

"Yes" he nodded and took my hand in his observing me precisely with his bright blue eyes.

I gulped nervously not wanting to mention the next topic. He never talked about his past, none of the agents did. "Who... Hudson, who's Abigail?"

He sighed, sat on a bench and pulled me to sit next to him "Abigail is my mother and Ashton is my brother. I left them when I was seventeen and they get seventy percent of what I make. My family didn't have much money back then and now my brother is going to college -to Brown, to be honest."

I didn't say anything because I was kind of scared to interrupt him. He might stop talking if I comment his statement. But I was also so happy that he shared these information with me. He trusted me and that was so overwhelming I could cry.

He looked at his feet before his eyes caught mine again "My actual name is Atlas Tesfay."

"Atlas" I mumbled as If I never said that word before. I guess I just wanted to know how it sounded when I said his real name. "Should I call you Atlas now?"

"No, the last person who called me that was my mother. I got used to 'Hudson'" he replied smilingly. Hudson smiled at me revealing his perfect white teeth. "Let's grab a coffee and head to SanDiego. We have a party to attend."

We bought two coffees to go and went back to our hotel to grab our clothes. After an intense discussion that lead to sex he eventually let me take the blue dress with me. An hour later we drove to the airport and got on the private plane Fiona had prepared for us.

"The contract I signed says that I only work for them as long as it's just me" he pulled out a bottle of red wine and poured some into two glasses.

The plane was just about to start and Hudson looked really nervous. Tiny sweat pearls shimmered on his forehead and his face seemed really pale. He loosened his tie, opened three buttons of his shirt and rolled up his sleeves.

"I don't understand" I raised my eyebrows at him.

He gulped audibly making his Adam's apple move "I mean... uh...it kinda means that if I start a family I don't have to work for them anymore."

"What are you saying" I probably shouldn't be making fun of him right now but I just couldn't hide the amusement in my voice.

He was just so adorable and nervous. The way he repeatedly ran his hand through his blond hair and tapped a fast beat with his foot was just making me want to kiss and hug him.

"I- ah, one day we maybe-" he stuttered not daring to look me in the eyes.

"Hudson, stop! Please!" I bursted out in laugher "I am just kidding. Everything is fine. I get what you're saying!"

He glared at me and grabbed my hand pulling me up.

"What are you doing?" I asked a he pulled me close to him and placed his hand on my back.

"We have six hours time to teach you how to dance. The last time we danced together you were horrible but for your luck I am an amazing dancer" he smirked. "Come on, step on my feet and let me lead you."

"You are so cocky" I laughed shaking my head and letting him lead me.

We danced for straight five hours without any music or taking a break. It wasn't tiering at all although I believe Hudson's feet started hurting at some point. But during these five hours it was just the two of us and even though there was no kissing involved that was probably our most intimate moment so far. We just danced and looked into each other's eyes. It might sound corny but dancing with him on the plane was just magical.
