"I just spoke to John,he will be here in about fifteen minutes.He said he's gotten a lead on the case."Grandfather said grabbing a pen from the desk and writing something down on his notepad.
I stared at him."Did you tell him that he is going to be my bodyguard?" I asked.
"No,when he reaches I'll explain everything clearly to him."
Something about his tone told me that he wasn't so keen on telling this to the agent.
"Would he be okay with being my bodyguard?"I inquired,maybe there would be some hope after all,this guy might refuse the job.
"Honestly no FBI agent would want to be a bodyguard,that’s like a nightmare to them especially when the agent is John.But he would understand that's it’s the best way to catch the kidnappers."he explained.
I nodded taking a seat by my brother.I studied him for a moment,he hadn't spoken much since the mention of John Miller being my bodyguard.
"You okay?"I asked taking the remote control from his hands.He looked like he could kill something or possibly someone.
"Yeah.Why do you ask?"
"Probably because you're not saying anything.Plus you have that look on your face when you're angry."I pointed out.
"You don't know John Miller.He thinks he in charge of the entire agency.He isn't the best person to be around with."he said bitterly.
I sighed."I guess I'm going to find out pretty soon."
Leaning back against the soft sofa,my mind went back to replaying images of the handsome stranger.How I wished I could see him again,I've been silently hoping that he would call soon,but to my disappointment ,it didn't matter how much time I stared at the screen,he wasn't going to.
The sound of the doorbell roused me out of my trance---the agent was here.
I sunk down deeper into the couch not wanting to meet this Miller guy.
I faintly heard the conversation between my grandfather and John as their footsteps neared the family room.
"Thanks for coming John."
"Don't mention it sir.Now what is it you said you needed to discuss?"
That voice-why did it sound so familiar?
"Rosella,come meet John."grandfather instructed.
I sighed and rose up heading over to where they both stood talking, taking my dead time.
John turned to me as I approached them and that's when I saw him for the first time-the handsome stranger was actually John Miller!
Wow,I just had a second explosion in one night.
I tripped on my own feet but before my face could hit the ground John reached out pulling me into his arms.
I gasped and his eyes widened as he laid them on me."You're Sir Liam's grand-daughter ?" he asked in shock.
He let go of me slowly,his eyes never leaving mine.
"You two know each other?"
He finally looked away from me to stare at my grandfather.
"He is the one who saved me."I explained.
His eyes widened."You were the one who saved her?John I can't thank you enough.You've proven yet again that you're a great agent."
"I'm only doing my job sir."
All this time while they spoke I couldn't help but stare at John,I couldn't believe that he was going to be my bodyguard.
I guess wishes did come true!
He was so damn good looking, the most handsome man I'd ever set my eyes on,I’m pretty sure I had already confessed this -and he was going to be my bodyguard.
"John would you follow me to the study room where we would discuss what I called you here for."grandpa said motioning for him to follow him.
"So that's the guy that saved you?"my mom asked behind me.
"Yes he is."
"He seems nice."she said with a smile."I might have to invite him over sometime to thank him.Now would you do me a favour and carry this drink for him."she said handing me a glass filled with soft drink.
I nodded taking the drink from her hand.Upon reaching the study room I stopped at the door to listen in on their conversation.
"With all due respect Sir I don't think I'm the right one for this job."John protested.
He didnt want to be my bodyguard?I mean I should have expected it but it actually hurt to hear.
"John I'm afraid you don't have a say in this matter.This is your next mission and it’s the only way we can find the culprits."
"Sir-"
"I don't think you want my granddaughter to get hurt now,do you?Because that's what is going to happen if you don't agree to protect her."
Was this a good time to enter?
I took a deep breath ,knocked on the door and entered.
John looked at me as I made my way into the room,his gaze intense,making it difficult for me to breathe.
"Mom said to give this to you."I whispered handing him the glass.
He nodded taking it from me."Thank you."
He sighed and turned to my grandfather."I'll do it."
I stood there in shock, he actually agreed to do it,what caused him to change his mind all of a suuden?
The handsome stranger who saved me was now my bodyguard!
Should I be happy or worried?
