"So John would officially be your bodyguard from tomorrow morning."grandpa said giving me a kiss on my forehead."You'll be safe with him,trust me."
I smiled."Thank you grandpa."
I actually believed what he said, in fact I felt safe with John around,could it be because he saved me or was there something else?
"Go get some sleep."he said raising up from my bed and closing the door behind him.
My phone vibrated on the bed and I picked it up to reveal a message from a number I hadn't seen before.
Hey this is John.Store this number and call whenever you need me.
My heart skipped a beat immediately -John just messaged me!I tried to hold in my inner squeal as I searched my brain on what my response should be.
What should I reply?
Me:Thanks for agreeing to be my bodyguard.
I placed my phone on the bed and waited anxiously for a reply.
John:NP.
That was it.Just a no problem?Why the hell did a no problem have my heart beating ferociously!
I sighed flipping over my covers and tucking myself into bed.
It was quite obvious I had a crush on the guy but who could blame me when he saved me in such a heroic manner...not to mention the good looks.
It was also quite evident that he had no interest whatsoever in me.
I sighed,maybe he already had a girlfriend, I didn't like that thought.I didn’t want to think of her ugly face…oh come on Rosella, stop being so immature,I’m sure if he had a girlfriend she would be every bit of gorgeous as he was.
Closing my eyes I smiled to myself thinking that I would get to see him in the morning.
...........................................
"Wow you're up early this morning."my mom commented as I made my way into the kitchen.
I smiled."Good morning mom."
She leaned over to give me a kiss on my cheeks"Good morning Rosella."
I took a bite out of the pancakes in front of me.
"So John is already outside in his car waiting for you."
I stopped chewing and swallowed quickly."He is already here?"
"Yeah.He said whenever you're ready to meet him."
"Oh-well in that case I'm already ready."
Mother's eyes widened."But you haven't eaten out your pancakes."she protested.
"I'm not hungry mom."I said raising up from the chair,giving her a quick kiss and heading out the front door before she could say anything else.
Wow,slow down there Rosella,you don't want John to be seeing you acting like a clutz.
I noticed a silver BMW parked in the garage and opened the car door,hopping into the front seat.
"Morning."John greeted me.
I turned to look at him for the first time and lost my breath immediately.He had on a blue T-shirt which did wonders to his mesmerizing eyes.
"Morning."I managed to reply.
"So where are we heading to today?"
"Well first I have to attend dance class."I answered blushing.
Why was I blushing?All he did was ask a question.
He nodded."Where is your school?"
I played with the ends of my short black skirt to help the nervousness." Chin's street,fifth building on your left."
We both didn't say anything as he backed out of the garage ,actually we didn't speak for the entire ride until we reached the dancing school.
"Um-You don't need to come into the classroom."I stated totally embarrassed of him seeing me in dancing class.
What if I made a fool of myself?
"I have to come.As your bodyguard it’s important that I do."he instructed.
I tried not to panic forcing myself to nod.
I could feel everyone's eyes on us as we entered the class,practically all the girls were staring at him,heck even my own dance tutor was looking at him.
"I'll remain in the back you wouldn't even know I'm here."he whispered to me.
Yeah like if I could forget he was watching my dance lessons.
"Oh and one more thing no one is to know I'm your bodyguard." he warned.
I nodded and walked over to where all the dancers stood.
"So who’s that guy that came with you?"Chloe asked.
"Yeah is he taken?"another girl asked eyeing him.
I tried not to roll my eyes.
Why was I getting jealous?
"Um-he actually is my boyfriend."I lied.
Why did I just say that?
The girls eyes widened in shock,was it not believable that someone like him could be my boyfriend?
I hope he hadn't heard what I just said.
"Since he is your boyfriend why don't you invite him to dance with you today?"my tutor suggested.
"What?"I asked in shock.
"Today we're partnering up for slow dancing .Invite him to join you."she explained.
Wh-hat!
That was the craziest idea ever.
I looked on in horror as she motioned for him to come forward,his brows rose up in confusion but he walked closer until he stood next to me.
"Since we're learning slow dancing this week why don't you join your girlfriend."
Oh crap she just said girlfriend.
John looked at my tutor as if she were mad."I'm sorry,what did you just say?"he asked.
