Her Richest Body Guard

“You k-know what you seem familiar ha-have we met before?” Daphne asked a guy while looking at him. She wanted to focus her gaze on the person who’s seating in the driver’s seat but her vision is getting blurry. Maybe because of the alcohol she drinks a while ago. She know that she have a high tolerance for drinks or maybe because she was not familiar anymore that’s why she got drunk easily. When is the last time she drinks alcohol? Maybe weeks? Months or since the day he enters her life? “Is that even possible?” She asked herself as if someone will answer. A guy with a broad shoulder took a deep sigh as if she asked something weird. “Yes, Ms.Moscera I am familiar because I’m your bodyguard.” Jack seriously answered, who is focusing on driving. If there’s last thing he will do, that will be looking at the girl seating in the passenger seat where he is at. Honestly, he is mad that at any moment he will pull the car a high speed so he can send her home and get away from her. But where is he right now, driving with carefulness for her? He is mad, they made a deal where she disobeys. He thought that friending her will be a good decision to make their relationship civil but it turns out that Daphne just using their relationship in order to do what she wants. A partygoer who just wanted to be free and doesn’t care if she messes anything. Daphne examines his broad shoulder, his charcoal hair, and his arms gripping the steering wheel. She knows that she must stop what she’s doing but she can’t help it. She shook her head, and regret it after as she felt dizzier. “Idiot I know you are my bodyguard. I, I am not drunk, I’m still a-aware of what I’m doing” she protested, trying to keep her sentence clear. She closed her eyes, regretting it when the image of him popped into her mind. “Damn it.” She cursed in her mind. The man that pesters her mind is the man who’s driving her safely to her home. Her heart pumping fast and she can even hear her own heartbeat which she begs that the man in front of him will not hear it. Before she can cover her chest Jack talk. “Aware? You are still aware that a while ago you almost strip your clothes.” Jack asked in frustration. Flashback hit him, he tightens his grip on the steering wheel. If he can go back to where they went a while ago, he will not regret punching the man who almost touch her. “Common Daphne, why you’re making my job harder?” He doesn’t want to yell at her because he knows that if he does that they will end up starting a war again. In this state his the one who’s thinking normally right now, having a fight with a drunken woman will end up nothing. “But every time we fight- everything doesn’t make sense either.” Jack pointed to himself. “If this job makes your life harder then why don’t you leave… like everyone did to me.” She replied. Daphne looked outside. She wanted to not sound hopeless but she is. Her voice cracked. Tears fell down her cheek, and as she was about to wipe them out. She senses the car slowly stopping. She looked Jack who parked the car on the side of the road. Glad it’s night and there are no other vehicles passing the way- as if there will be, the road is restricted and only Moscera’s Clan can pass that road. Thinking about how powerful they are in this small town, Daphne feels more pressured as she will be the next heir of all of the properties they have. She should be glad, happy that she doesn’t need to question what her life will be after she finishes college but there she is- she doesn’t want to take that responsibility. Her friend knows what she wants “At first it shouldn’t be me- it should be other. I’m just a… substitute.” She shouldn’t be the one who takes care of, who watches for. It just happened that their Clan made a mistake before that’s why they don’t want it to happen again. If they didn’t make a mistake before, she hundred percent sure that no one will be concerned for her… everyone will leave her. She wiped her tears and looked in front only to meet a pair of brown eyes of a man who was looking at her with mixed emotions. Concern and Adoration, she wants to subside what she’s seeing but she knows it is all true. Her beat accelerated again when he touched her hand. Soft and careful. “Jack.” She whispers. He looked at her, giving her the assurance she want. “You know, there is one thing why I take this job. Do you know what is it?” Jack asked. “W-what is it?” She stuttered. Jack smiled lightly, he looked at their hand. He can feel the coldest of her hand opposite from him, hoping he can make it warm. Hoping he can say what he wants- what he really feels. “I’m not leaving you Daph. Whether you take your obligation or not. I’ll support and protect you until you finally found your freedom.” He said. He is about to feel disappointed when Daphne takes her hand back not until she leaned forward and touches his face. “Protect me, Jack.” She whisper before he can process what she did the next thing he knows Daphne’s lips met him.
