975 Words
I watched in horror as John ran out in the open towards me,before I could react however he had already reached my side rolling us both over on the ground.
Before I could say anything he covered my mouth with his hands,both of us breathing hard , staring at each other.
He pulled me up besides him ,his eyes roaming over my body."Derek!"he shouted as one of the FBI agents ran over to us.
"Yes sir."
"Take her to the van and shoot anyone who tries to harm her."he ordered.
Derek's eyes widened and so did mines."But what about you?"he protested.
"Do as I say."he demanded roughly.
I wanted to protest as well but didn't say a word knowing I've already caused a lot of trouble.
John waited until I was transported safely to the van before he went back to his duty.
"Will he be okay?"I asked trying to calm my racing heart.
Derek looked up from where he was sitting to stare at me."He isn't known as the best agent for nothing,he will be okay."he said."Once he doesn't get any distractions from you."he added.
"What is that supposed to mean?"I asked.
"He obviously cares about you alot and if you go out there one more time I'm sure he could get hurt this time."
I blushed."No he doesn't ,he just has to keep me safe because my grandfather made him my bodyguard."
His eyes widened in understanding."So you're the girl everyone is talking about."
"Everyone is talking about me?Why?"I asked curiously.
He chuckled."I don't think John would be to happy if I were to tell you.But you're wrong if you think he is protecting you because that's his job.I'm one of his best shooters ,he doesn't go to any shootout without me and today he let me go to protect you.Hell he even just risked his life out there for you by running in the open to get you to safety.It's the first time I've seen him like that,the first time he took such a huge risk without a second thought."he explained."But I guess he is not the only one doing crazy things since you came all the way here risking your life also."he pointed out.
My cheeks reddened in embarrassment ."I know what I did was stupid now,I put his life at risk and all of his men at risk."
Derek placed his hands on my shoulder with a friendly smile."I know what it is to do something crazy for someone you care about,its natural,so don't blame yourself.Though you should trust him next time,don't do something so risky again."
I jumped when the van door opened.
John stood outside ,his eyes wandered to where Derek's hand was on my shoulder and I could of sworn I saw a hint of jealousy.
Derek pulled away immediately climbing out of the van."Is it finished?"he asked.
John nodded pulling out a key from his pocket."Take my car home with you today."he instructed.
Derek looked a little confused but did as John said taking the key from him.
He turned to me ."Take care."
I smiled."You too."
John grabbed my hand and pulled me towards my car.
"What the hell were you thinking!"he shouted grabbing my arms.
"I--I'm sorry."I stuttered.
His eyes narrowed."You not only put my men's life in danger but you also put yourself in danger."
"I--"
"Damn it!"he shouted again running his hands through his hair."I don't know what to do with you."
I gasped noticing blood on his forehead."You're hurt."
I reached out with my hands and touched the cut on his forehead,he winced and grabbed my hands preventing me from touching him again.
Did he hate me now after what I had done?
I felt the tears well up in my eyes at the thought of him hating me.
"s**t--are you crying?"he asked,his voice softer now.
I shook my head,wiping the tears from my cheeks.
He sighed and totally surprising me pulled me into his arms."I'm sorry,I shouldn't have raised my voice at you,I was just scared of loosing you."he admitted.
Did I just hear right?He was scared of loosing me?
He pulled back and wiped my tears."Let's get you home."
My eyes widened."Where is my grandfather?"
"I didn't want him going to the shootout so I dropped him out at the agency first."he said opening the car door for me.
What was I going to tell my parents when I got home?
........................................................................................................................
"What on earth were you thinking!"Both my parents shouted angrily.
"I always told you that you gave her too much freedom!"mom said angrily turning to my father."You never listen to me."
How could I tell them I was worried for John,that would send them mad.
"I'm very disappointed in you today."dad said angrily."Your actions would cost you this time,you're grounded until your mom says you can go out."
"Mr. Patterson with all due respect,I know what Rosella did wasn't a good thing but she was only worried about the safety of your father,she shouldn't be punished for that."John cut in.
Dad stiffened glaring at John but mom placed her hand on his shoulder to stop him from saying anything.
"I guess you're right John,she wouldn't be punished this time however I would like to thank you again for saving our daughter,we're truly indebted to you."
"I'm just doing my job,I'll take your leave now."
"But how would you go home?You left your car with Derek to drive me home."
"I'll travel."
"Why don't you stay the night?"my mom cut in shocking all of us.
"That's not necessary."John said immediately.
"I insist."mom said.
John hesitated for a second before he finally agreed.
I couldn't believe it,John was spending the night at our home and he would be staying in the room next to mines since that was the guest room.
This was going to be a long night.
