Her Bodyguard

Chapter 3

Maya's POV:

     I woke up the next morning with the sun shining through my curtains in my eyes. I mentally curse before getting out of bed to take a shower.

     I walk in my bathroom and brush my teeth. I peel my clothes off before stepping into the hot water. I stand there relaxing for a couple minutes before washing my hair with my favorite strawberry shampoo. I lather on my lavender body wash and rinse off. Once I'm out of the shower I decide to let my hair dry natural because I'm lazy and don't feel like doing it.

     I step into my closet to pick something to wear. I want to go out today, so I'm going dress up a little bit. I forgot that I have to ask before I go out. I sigh before choosing some black skinny jeans and my favorite AC/DC shirt. I apply some mascara and check my phone. I never really have notifications because I really don't have friends. I know.... sad right, feel bad for me. Nah I'm just kidding. My dad's rich so I don't care. I'd rather have money then friends any day.

      I walk down stairs to get some breakfast. I can already smell pancakes. I happily sigh before walking in the kitchen.

     "Good morning sweetie" Brenda greets me.

     "Good morning Brenda" I say "do we have any orange juice?" I ask. Orange juice is my favorite.

     "Yes, in the fridge darling" I turn to go toward the fridge and run straight into a hard chest. I rub my forehead before looking up. When I look up I'm might with bright blue eyes. I can feel my cheeks heat up under his gaze. Me being a dumbass I decide to quickly grab the orange juice and run away. Yes, I ran away. He is looking extra scary today. With all these thoughts going through my head I forgot to ask my dad if I can go to the mall. I make my way to his office to see if he's there.

     I walk into his office NOT to find him there. I sigh and decide to go to his bedroom. I doubt he's in there, he just uses his room to sleep then works all day.  Can't relate. As predicted he isn't in his room. God only knows where he's at. So I'm going to be brave and ask my bodyguard if I can go to the mall. I know what you're thinking...... Maya you brave soul. I know, I know I'm pretty awesome.

     Walking slowly down the stairs into the kitchen I see him setting at the table with food in front of him that he hasn't touched. Who would do that to pancakes just let them set there and get cold, the devil that's who. I bet he's secretly the devil. Woah there don't get ahead of yourself Maya I mentally scold. I walk up to him and look down. Probably feeling my gaze upon him he turns his head and makes eye contact with. Well...I can't run now. I stand there and stare for a minute before feeling embarrassed for not saying anything yet. I open my mouth to speak but nothing comes out. Oh My God.... this is so embarrassing. He's gestures with his hands for me to continue. Screw it I thought.

     "I'm going to the mall" I demand "and you have to come with me. I also don't know where my dad is so I'm not going to ask, I'm just going to go. I'll be ready to leave in five minutes so please be ready and meet me in the living room." Once I'm finished speaking I turn and walk out of the kitchen feeling accomplished. I high five myself before going back to my room to get my jacket and phone. I grab my things and go back down stairs. I still don't know his name I thought. I see my dad talking to some random man. There's so many random men coming in and out of this place doing 'business' as my dad likes to call it. I walk over to my dad and tell him that I'm going to the mall. Before leaving I turn and ask.

     "What's his name?" I ask my dad.

     "What's who's name?" He says.

      "My bodyguard dad, what his name" I say in a duh tone.
