The ProtectoR A bit of Psychology
He picked his phone, navigating to his most recent call log and dialing Kaylee’s number.It rang until it stopped and she didn’t pick up. He tried it again and she didn’t pick.He tried it again the third time and after what seemed to be forever she picked, her voice rather calm as she spoke.“Nathan,” She said.“Kaylee..” Nathan said, rather unsure of what to say. “I didn’t pick up your initial calls because I wanted to get settled. I hate picking up calls when standing, or doing something. So I went to lay on my bed.”“Alright, so you’re on on your bed as we speak. I guess you intend to talk for a long while.” Nathan said.“Yeah, are you still busy?” Kaylee asked. “I mean, you can call me whenever you’re less busy.”“No.. not like that. It’s just kind of amazing that you headed to your bed to speak to me,” Nathan said.“Don’t let it get to your head. I do it for anyone I consider important.” Kaylee said.“Exactly, that’s what I’m driving at,” Nathan said then chuckled“You’re so fu
The ProtectoR His world.
***********It was a blissful start.Nathan woke up to a bright early morning, the sun peeking through the blinds of his bedroom window. He sat up on his bed, stretching his arms and legs before swinging them off the bed. As he stood up, he felt an unusual sense of energy coursing through him. He could feel a spark of excitement inside him, which was quite unusual for him in the morning.He went to the bathroom, showered, and then sprayed on some cologne, carefully choosing the one that would match his outfit. Nathan then got dressed in a nice black jeans and a white T-shirt, along with a black leather jacket that he had not worn before. Actually he couldn’t remember wearing it so he assumed he had not worn it yet.He put on his wristwatch, a sleek and expensive gilded one, and then ruffled his hair, admiring his reflection in the mirror.Nathan went down to the living room and found Cayden already dressed, waiting for him and also for Nicholas to arrive.“Homie,” Nathan said, getting
The ProtectoR Roses for Rose
She turned around, and gave him two brief kisses on his lips before interlocking her tongue with his.The cafeteria turned upside down with another uproar of endless cheering, screaming.They were like movie stars surrounded by a swarm of paparazzi, lights flickering from almost phone’s cameras at almost every angle.She crossed her legs leaning inward towards Nathan, while he clutched her waist and a clap sound started from a corner of the crowd. It went on, increasing in its loudness and speeding, setting the mass of the air in the room into a vibration.Nathan and Rose slowly withdrew from each other’s arms. Rose grabbed all her flowers, holding them tightly to her bosom- proudly.Nathan held her hand and without hesitating, Rose interlocked their arms like a couple.“Let’s go,” Nathan said. As much as he loved the scene the students were making, he was getting somewhat uncomfortable with the paparazzi.The lights, plus he wasn’t really the modern generation guy who enjoyed being at
The ProtectoR Crossroads
“Are you happy now?” Nathan asked jokingly.“Certainly,” Rose said, then got into the car. “See you later.”Nathan stood in ecstasy for a while watching her drive off. She honked her horn twice for a final goodbye.Nathan turned and headed back to Nicholas and Cayden.“Congrats on having your girlfriend back.” Cayden said.“It couldn’t have happened without the help of you guys,” Nathan said, gratefully.“Somehow, I wish you had more time to suffer the consequences of your actions and maybe you’d have learnt a lesson.” Nicholas said.“Look guys, if you look at what happened without sentiments you’d figure out that I didn't do anything that bad.” Nathan said. “I mean, all I did was visit Letha.”“Then lie that you were sick and you had to go home,” Nicholas interjected.“When you say it like that,” Nicholas said.“Let’s get going already,” Cayden said, falling in behind.Nathan got in front with Nicholas sitting in the passenger seat.Nathan started the engine, feeling relieved and hap
The ProtectoR dinner night
What is right?Nathan clearly didn’t know which route to take. Every possible contingency he played out in his head to keep his friendship with Letha led to him ineluctably losing Rose; that was a nightmare he didn’t want to go through.First he loved her and then he valued his relationship with her dad. He had entrusted everything about her to him. The safety of her body and also her heart. If he claimed to be her protector he had to guard her from every form of danger, external and internal.Messing with her heart will break her, making him a form of danger to her heart. And when her head is left unguarded, she’ll naturally run to someone else to protect it. And it might just be the dude’s son who Nathan had begun to spite for no concrete reason.His mind drifted to the sad possibility of him and Rose going back to the way they were when they first met. The regular bodyguard and his warden relationship. He snapped out of the thought, it was the worst that could happen, and then swa
The ProtectoR Letha's apathy
"Arrrggggh" Nathan exclaimed with frustration because no guard was at the glass check point. "You think there's no one in?" Cayden said as they all observed the well lit mansion. "The lights are on dude, are you too daft to see that?" Nicholas said and Nathan chuckled. "Shut up. I know" Cayden said. Soon enough a steward came to the rescue and pulled the gates open, a cranking sound echoing into the night. "Pheww, finally" Nathan said as Nicholas accelerated the throttle. As they drove slowly past, Nicholas paused as Nathan instructed him to do so. Nathan slid the window down and peered at the steward in a black and white apron. "What of the guards?""They are on leave sir, for the meantime."The steward said. "And why Is that?" The man shrugged. "I have no idea Sir" "Great" Nathan sighed, relaxing back into his seat as Nicholas continued into the mansion. They parked in one of the available parking lot when they noticed a yellow Limousine drive in as well. Nathan and the
The ProtectoR Family meeting
Yes I am" Nathan said in a delusional tone, as he was quite eager to hear what he had to say next, holding Rose's arm more firmly and putting up a mischievous smile."And you hail from?" The man asked, his tone brisk, with quite a deep and persistent voice as he tried to garner information about his background."Broken Springs, or so I was told " Nathan said. He noticed the odd look on the man's face and quickly gazed at rose briefly so he could avoid the man's hot gaze. "I heard it's a town known for raising rascals" "I beg your pardon"?Nathan all filled with rage, squeezing the silver slippery cutlery right before him as he gazed at the tan-skinned man."I think it's time to eat" Mr Swack interrupted As one of the steward walked round to open the trays on each side of the dinning table. Rose twiddled her fingers round Nathan's and bringing her lips closer to ears."Please don't let him get to you, he's always a jerk"Nathan put up a big smile on hearing those words as it rela
The ProtectoR Unanticipated vacation.
He stared at her as she ambled down the school block down to the library, as he stepped out and shut the door of the vehicle, then hurried down to class. The echoing sound of voices of every student as the professor rendered the lecture for the day, Nathan stepped in quietly from the back snuck to his seat so no one would notice his presence, but Letha's voice stopped him from behind. "Hush, latecomer, Guess it's cause of the party that you got all occupied?" She smiled " Oh, Not really, I had a slight headache this morning, I just couldn't get up early""Oh so sorry about that, hope you're good now?" "I'm very much good, Thank you" Nathan replied still in deep thought about why she was still caring after their conversation last night as he gazed at Cayden and Nicholas walk in. They both walked past the front of the class down to the back and quickly sat down next to Nathan" Bro you won't believe who we just saw outside"? Cayden whispered. "Who"? " Your girl Rose, she says
