The Playboy's Bodyguard

Chapter 2

I read the Abellioni's files again. It said here, the first attack happened three years ago and it costed the matriarch's life. Mr. Gerard Abellioni's business is related to exporting and importing of goods, nothing is unusual.

The second attack happened a few months ago. The two Abellionis had ambushed. And just reading all of this I knew there's something about the old Abellioni, he better spilled it now before it's too late. The enemies were just around the corner.

I've asked for this files from Kairo last night. But nothing was more suspicious with these reports.

My eyes curved into slit when I heard an odd sound outside. It's only four in the morning. Silenly and carefully I armed my handgun and reached the door. I turned my lights off. Using my senses I tried to feel my surrounding.

From my peripheral vision I saw a shadow. I was trying to see behind this unknown entity but he got in action. I instantly kicked his shin and tackled him down. A loud groan escaped from this shadow.

"f**k Axl!" then there was a familiar voice. My grip lossened a bit when it dawned on me. The shadow was not a stranger at all.

"Mr. Abellioni-Zero?" I got off from his back.

"Are you gonna try to kill me?" he seethed in anger.

"I didn't know it was you. I thought there's an intruder." I replied, I really didn't know it was him, it's too dark in here.

"Intruder my ass!" the lights flooded around us and there I saw him in pain. Ohh, I might be too hard on him.

"Sorry, I touched you a bit too hard." I walked to him.

"Touch? You twisted my-" his eyes widened and jaw dropped while looking at me. What's wrong with him?

Looking down at myself then just sighed. I forgot I'm only in my lingerie. I couldn't sleep with my clothes on and this made me feel comfortable. If I were at my own property or even at HQ I'd probably wear nothing but my panties and brassiere on.

"f**k! f**k!" I heard him curse loudly. My brows drew in a line when I looked at him.

"What's the problem?" I closed our distance to check on him. Did I break his bone? I checked on his arm and it looked just fine and still intact. When I tried for his other arm he spatted my hand away from him.

"I'm fine." he's not looking at my direction. "Just put your clothes on."

"I can't sleep with my clothes. I actually sleep naked in my apartment." I tilted my head.

"Damn!" I heard him groan. "But you are not in your apartment! And please do wear your clothes when you're here in my house." his breathing went rugged. What's wrong with my appearance?

"But the girl yesterday was naked and you too." I explained trying to make a point. What's wrong with them. Even Kairo had reacted like him sometimes when seeing me with my lingeries only.

"That's my point!" he spat. "We're naked because we're fu-nevermind!" he looked problematic now. "Just follow my house rule. Wear your clothes on if you aren't inside your room." he firmly said as he retreated. I just now realised, he's wearing sweat pants and pull over. He might be gone for a jog.

"Shit." I sprinted to my room for my clothes. He went out for a run and I was left here. He's really a pain in the ass!

I figured he's gone from my sight. He's way too fast for a dumbass. Few blocks and more and I still couldn't find him. Twenty minutes has been passed now. And I have no choice but to call Kairo. As of now I couldn't take a risk but a help.

"..Axl? What happened?.." I heard his raspy voice. Here we go again.

"I lost the young Abellioni. Can you track him down for me?" I was still here looking for the missing brat.

"..Okay, wait a sec.." a few shuffling and such before he spoke again. "..He's just around the corner. I think he's inside of a.. shop?.."

No wonder I lost him. I went back to his house, I didn't check the establishments near his yet. Later then I saw a convenience store. It's really not far from his house, my brows knitted while looking through the glass wall. He was flirting with the cashier. I wanted to kill this i***t for making me run around the village and yet he was here, almost f*****g the girl if they were not in a public place.

"..Have you seen him?.." it was Kairo, and somehow it calmed me down. Forgetting he was still on the line.

"Yes." I averted my gaze when the two people could not hold of themselves anymore and ate the face of each other. It's too early and yet my eyes got pulluted. "Thank you, Kairo. Sorry if I had to disturb your sleep." just to look for this manwhore.

"..No problem Axl ." Kairo said after while. "..That kid really giving you a hard time, huh? Too early for playing hide and seek.."

"I can handle him Kairo, don't worry about my mission. Thanks again." I cut the call.

I stayed outside the store, don't want to interrupt him again. I'm afraid that this time I'm gonna put hole on his body and that's the end of everything.

"Coffee?" a cup of coffee blocked my view. I looked at the owner of that voice.

He looked familiar. "Kale?" asking the guy. I was not sure about his name but better try my luck.

He smiled. My memory was right then. He's the back up vocals and the guitarist of The Xemical.

"Glad, you remember my name!" once again he nudged on me the cup and I accepted it, the aroma of the coffee filled my nose. "What are you doing here at this time?" he frowned.

"Zero." I pointed at the convenience store. "He's inside." I sat on the vacant chair and sipped my coffee.

"He drags you here at this very early?" he looked on his watch. "It's only past four in the morning." he said as he took his own seat.

"I'm his Personal Assistant." I said, stating the obvious. Unless gonna tell him that I'm his security or lady bodyguard. And my job is to watch Zero 24/7.

"Are you living with him in his townhouse?" his forehead creased. I nodded at his question. "Aren't you working too long? You suppose to be called when we're having gig only. You need rest too." he said lazily.

"There's no-uhm.. it's my job." glancing back at Zero. And the i***t seemed engross with his w***e. I chose this seat because I could still see a glimpse of him, of Zero Abellioni.

"What's your job before this P/A thing?" Kale made me snapped back at him.

"An agent." I replied shortly that made him cough a several times.

"What? An agent?" his jaw dropped. I bit the insides of my mouth. Damn you Axl. Spilling out your true identity. Where is the discreet and confidentiality?

"I did apply for an agent, a call center agent before.. but I failed." my face contorted a bit because of my lie. He looked at me for eternity before nodding reluctantly.

"Do you want a recommendation?" he smiled politely.

"No need. I am fine working here." I told him seriously. I needed to background check his band mates sooner.

"Okay. I live here too, four blocks away." he added. I will not be surprised if all of his band mates were living in this executive village.

"Are you long time friend with Zero?"

"Kinda." he shrugged. "Just be patient with Zero, he's a playboy but he's a good person." we both looked at Zero's direction. And at long last he noticed our existence.

He's not just a playboy but like a f*****g machine. Even a log or stick if you'd put a skirt on them he'll surely go for the pleasure. What a perverted playboy.

"Kale. You went for a jog?" Zero asked and stopped beside our table.

"Yep, and then I saw Axl." Kale glanced at my side.

"I thought you were sleeping." Zero faced me. I wanted to tell him the obvious reason, that I was paid to look for him but he evaded my security.

"I followed you." playing with my coffee. "I thought you out for a run, but you stranded inside." then looking at him straight in the eyes.

"You don't have to follow my every move Axl." his jaw ticked.

"But I'm your-" Kale's cut me off.

"She's your assistant why she's tailing you. And she stays with you in your house, why don't be grateful to her. It's too early yet you drag her here with you." a smiling Kale explained to the i***t.

"Let's go home." but Zero did not credited it.

"You done for this morning?" Kale asked him while standing up. And I rose from my seat too.

"I will continue to my house." he said then turned on his back.

"Thanks for the coffee.. Kale." showing Kale my cup of coffee.

"Welcome." Kale smiled again.

"Let's go, Axl!" Zero shouted. I turned to Zero only to see him still standing there with both of his hands on his hips.

I sipped on my coffee while walking towards him. But not after glancing at Kale who's now watching us.

"If you want coffee, you could tell me. And not to ask to anyone." Zero lamented as soon as we got inside his house.

"You were busy flirting with this cashier. I don't want to interrupt you again." I reasoned out.

"Bullshit!" he breathed out.

"Why you were so pissed? Does that girl reject you?" I creased my forehead. "But I saw you two kissing-"

"Enough Axl! We're not kissing! I don't know if you're dumb or innocent. But you really making me pissed!" he yelled. What did I do now?

"What are you talking about?" still trying to calm myself down.

"That you-didn't-know-what-is-going-on attitude! Crap!" he's panting. As if he ran ten laps.

"I haven't bitching out with your girl? I just stayed outside and waited for you to finish flirting with her!" I raised my voice. I didn't want to show any emotions but he's pissing me off, big time! "Look Mr. Abellioni, I don't care about your s*x life. I'm here to give you a full time security as an agent. Don't get me wrong, you can do whatever you want but don't expect me to leave your side. Coz I'll stick with you like a glue."

"f**k my s*x life!" he said in annoyance. "Yeah, don't forget that you're paid to stick with me. And not to have chit chat with others." he forcefully opened his door and went in. As same impact as he closed it to my face, I was left just dumbfounded at his immaturity.

I just enjoyed a cup of coffee and no more. I know for sure I could still in my hundred percent watching him professionally.

I decided to go back to my room. He's more of a pain in the ass than the last one, my last assignment. He really is more complicated case. He's like an immatured kid who's throwing tantrums anytime he wanted.

I did not get back to sleep, it's too late for a nap. I needed to background check his friends. Kale Haverford, Abbas Medrano and Ethan Olliston. We were still clueless about the enemy. What we have right now are the details about three years ago.

According to my research. The Xemical band founded eight years ago. They were started as a high school band. The members are sons of the wealthiest businessman who have passion and big love for music.

I massaged my temple. I have not found any useful things from my search. It's just all about the band, their fame and fans.

Zero never went out of his room again. And just a day of staying with him, I figured out that he doesn't have a maid for a helper. He's a loner in his house.

Feeling bored I decided to check everything. I looked at the direction of the window here outside. There was a huge tree across his window. I already checked the cctv that night but it was deleted.

The enemy was genius enough to notice my presence in a matter of day, and surely anytime they could plan an attack while I'm still here. I clenched my jaw. Elite's needed to double time. As of now they don't have a prime lead why I needed to be more attentive to Zero.

I heard my ringtone. I fished out my cellphone and answered the call.

"James." I greeted.

"..I sent you the papers. Call me back after you read them.." he informed. "..Anyway, Kairo discussed to me about your situation. Aren't you comfortable living with the young Abellioni? Do you need a place or wanna use the Van instead?.."

"Thank you James but I'm all right. Van was fine but I need to watch him closely." Living in our Van was not a big deal but it would be more convenient for me to reside close to Zero Abellioni.

"..Okay. I'll wait for your call.." I was about to cut the call when I heard him again. "..And Axl.. please stay safe.."

The line went dead. Kairo and James are like my big brothers. They've been always like that whenever I have my mission.
