Angel by the wings

Chapter 6

Dakota.

I gasped , he saw me , he really saw me and smiled.

Alejandro  has a gorgeous smile , I don’t understand why he never smiles. Maybe he enjoys being gloomy.

I feel some relief to know he hasn’t seen me with my X-ray vision I was able to see beyond the wall to his side.

I sat outside his office for an entire day as I listened to some music on my phone , am just a simple bodyguard.

I got up and stood straight , his time was up.

He opened the door , I followed after him. I have a feeling hes a gentleman but wants to hide under a badboy aura. So I decide to do the horrible deed... read his mind.

I don’t often like reading peoples minds because its like an invasion of privacy, I can hear their thoughts and feel their emotions and some are pretty nasty and some very disturbing.

As we were in his car I began to think if I can really do it , this man makes me so nervous , hes very charismatic and so intimidating his deep voice supplements it all.

All I need is some focus and concentration and I will be deep in his mind , this works if I am looking directly at him.

I waited when he was having dinner at his palace like mansion it would be a perfect situation for me to do the deed of reading his mind, so I can be able to understand him and why he acts the way he does.

He was busy on his phone I took a deep breath and focused drawing all my concentration into him , suddenly I couldn’t, I tried again but it backfired , I couldn’t read his mind .

Maybe my powers are not working because am a human , I looked at Dan , the man in charge of his home security .

I focus and concentrate on him , hes talking to some guy outside. I could hear his thoughts very clearly.

"I cant wait to get home and watch a movie maybe some batman, the boss's new bodyguard is a hottie maybe I should ask her out someday"

He looked at me and winked I looked away.

I tried again to read Alejandro's thoughts as he was on his phone but nothing came ,its like he had this invisible wall blocking me from accessing his mind.

He looked up our eyes met.

"Dakota, "he said as his eyebrows arched up .

" Yes sir” I replied.

"You have been glaring at me for a while, something wrong ?"he asked.

" No , sir” I replied.

"Good , speaking of which, where are your parents ? What do they do? Are they alive? “he asked,

Oh s**t! I had to remember the script Randy gave me of my identity incase anyone asked .

The thing is Randy forged my documents I don’t know how he did it, he is risking jail time if he gets caught.

" They ... uh... they ...um ... passed away . "I said.

"Your file says they are in Ireland “he said.

Oops!

"Yea they are there but died from an ... accident. I rarely tell people about it because it still hurts sir ,the memory is still fresh in my mind” I said. I can’t believe a whole angel like myself can lie to a mere mortal. Father will be upset.

His eyes maneuvered my body .

"Don’t you have any friends? You seem so alone Dakota "he said.

"I work alone sir, keeping a very thin circle” I said.

He is really grilling me.

He got up and walked to where I stood , stopping a step away from me.

He stroked my ponytail.

"You are so young to spend your youth in jail Dakota “he said.

"Pardon sir.” I said looking away, nearly choking on my saliva, he smells so dark and minty . His presence scares me .

" If I find out that you are lying to me about who you are, I wont hesitate to put you in a solitary confinement in the worst cell ever created in the world ."he said .

"I am not lying sir "I said.

"I am glad you are not "he said .

He let out a devious smirk.

I understand where he is coming from , if I too had someone I barely know as a bodyguard I will be very careful . You just never know whom to trust. Plus its obvious he’s not a huge fan of the idea someone younger than himself is his protector. It must have bruised his ego.

He turned to leave but stopped and looked at me narrowed his eyes.

"I am very careful with whom I trust “he said .

"Then don’t sir” I replied.

He looked at my cleavage then back at my eyes.

"I will try “he said and walked out.

As I laid in bed I began to wonder, why cant I read his mind ? why is there some kind of barrier that locks his mind ? it works on everyone else and trust me I do not want to read any more of the men in this house minds, goodness ! The things they fantasize about me are graphically so s****l, explicit and too rough ,but how comes it doesn’t work on Alejandro.

As I walked to take Alejandro's suitcase to the car since he’s travelling to Dubai I met up with Dan.

"Good morning Dakota “he said.

"Good morning Dan” I said.

"You look amazing , "he said.

"Thank you "I replied.

"I was wondering if you are free this weekend I would love to take you out to a dinner at the restaurant downtown “he said.I could use a day off and just have a fun dinner date , besides I have never been taken on a date by anyone else other than Randy . Over the weekends he used to take me out , a nice dinner or we watch the movies.

Alejandro isn’t going on this trip with me , he declined to have a female shadow in a male dominated country and termed it " an embarrassment of the highest order “ I happen to have overheard one of the bodyguards say .

He will be accompanied by Taylor.

"That would be dope, I would love to..."

"But she’s accompanying me to Dubai"Alejandro said cutting me off . I am? .

How long has he been standing there? I hadn’t even packed since I knew I wasn’t going with him.

"Come on, we don’t have much time , my jet is ready “he said.

"I hadn’t packed I heard you choose Taylor instead” I said.

"Did I say that? “he asked,

"No , sir” I said.

"Good, ten minutes I will be in the car “he said.

I dashed to my room and threw some clothes I knew I would need into my purple suitcase . The place is so hot so I needed something less heavy.

Dan helped me load my suitcase into the SUV trunk.

He looked at Alejandro then at me , contemplating whether to shake my hand or hug me , he knew hugging me would put his job on the line so he walked away without saying goodbye.

I sat next to Alejandro in the car.

He was busy working on his laptop .

I decided to try one last time to read his mind and know what he is thinking , his deepest thoughts , so I can understand and know him better and maybe it will explain why he’s so mysterious and cocky. It may have backfired last night due to lack of enough concentration or I may have missed out a procedure.

I looked at him concentrating on him still there was a barrier , its like when you are trying to walk but you can’t because some invisible string is holding you back , suddenly he stopped typing on his laptop and stared directly at me

"What do you think you are doing ?"he asked in a stern slightly angry voice.

Fuck! f**k! f**k! Am screwed.
