Unexpected Feelings

Chapter 4: The flight abroad

After what happened in the garden, Katrina had no intentions to talk to anyone, especially Javier. She ran to her room and instructed one of the servants to prepare her a hot bath. When she got inside the tub full of hot water, she closed her eyes and relaxed her mind. She thought about a lot of things, including how she was going to live with Javier Abroad.

She got too comfortable in the water and suddenly falls asleep. Since Javier was Katrina's bodyguard, he was told to move in so that he could be with Katrina every 24/7. He was excited at first before he got to meet Katrina, but now, he was just feeling undescribable worst feeling. Javier who was busy packing heard a knock on the door. He lazily opened the door, when he sees who the person that was knocking, his lazily appearance quickly changed to seriousness. He cleared his throat and said politely. " afternoon, Mr president."

The president slightly nodded in response and enters the room while looking around. Javier closed the door and asked with a polite tone. " Is there anything Mr president wants me to do? "

" No. I just came to see what you are up to. " he looked at the folded clothes on the bed before returning his gaze to Javier.

" Oh. I'm just packing some stuff." he embarrassingly scratched the back of his head.

The president sighed helplessly and touched Javier's shoulder with one hand. " I know that you and Katrina aren't getting along. But just give her time to get used to you and you'll see that she's not that bad. " he smiled kindly while his eyes were focused on him.

Javier smiled and nodded, but inside he wasn't smiling. " I understand that Mr president. Don't worry, I will be fine with her behavior. " Javier wasn't really going to be fine with her behavior, one more day being controlled her, he was going to lose it. That's why he made up his mind to change her by being hard on her.

" I know I can always count on you." He continues. " Let's go and have dinner, I will call one of our servants to pack your clothes for you. "

" No it's fine, I can do that by myself." Javier doesn't like people to touch his stuff, so he quickly rejected.

The president didn't want to ask anymore and said." okay then, let's go. "

When they reached to the dinner table, the president asked his servant to call Katrina since he didn't see her there. Katrina was sleeping soundly. She was having a very strange dream, but yet the sweetest one in all of the dreams she ever had. In the dream, she was being carried to bed by a man who's face was blurry. She was smiling from ear to ear and she felt something she had never felt before in years, it was the feeling of love. Before the man that carried her to bed say something, she hears a voice and knocking sounds still in her dreams. She tried to ignore, but it got louder and louder making Katrina wake up.

When she realized that she has woken up, she groans in a dissatisfied tone. " What do you want? "

" Miss, Mr president sent me to tell you that dinner is ready." a pleasant polite voice said outside the bathroom door.

Katrina mumbled something that the servant could hear and said. "

I'm coming." She didn't realize that she was in the bathtub, so when she got out of the water that went cold, she shivers and slips, but she holds onto something before her head hits the ends of the tub. She sighed in a relief and grabs the towels and wraps it around her naked body. Her skin went pale from the cold water she just got out of and was getting a runny nose. She wears one of her warm, comfy pyjamas and went downstairs to eat. She had forgotten about the quarrel she had earlier with her father, and what happened at the garden. But when she sees Javier's face, everything that had happened came back to her fast. She snorted coldly and went to sit down.

" Good evening, honey." the president said heartily looking for her.

" Yes Dad." that's all she said. She wasn't in the mood to talk, because of the dream she had, she wanted to keep on remembering it so that she can forget about her miserable life.

" You are pale honey, what's wrong?" Mr president got worried when he noticed her pale face. Javier hadn't glanced at her when she came to the table, but when he hears what the president just said, his eyes quickly looked at her without his awareness.

Katrina didn't notice Javier who suddenly looked at her, she smiled and said. " I'm fine Dad, it's just that I accidentally dozed off in the bathtub while taking a bath."

" Is your temperature rising? " the president asked concerned about his daughter.

" Don't worry dad, I'm fine. I will be okay." Katrina's tone was a lot nicer than her usual tone which made Javier shocked. Her tone was like that because of the dream she just had, she was still imagining about that man she saw in her dreams. She began eating her food happily while recalling every detail of the dream. She didn't pay attention to Javier who was looking at her in disbelief. He has never seen Katrina smile like this before which made him assume that she was probably planning something bad. Although her smile was pretty and harmless, he couldn't help but to guess what she was planning to do.

He kept staring at her for a quiet some time. He couldn't take off his eyes on the smile she kept revealing every now and then. The president noticed Javier's stare and deliberately coughed twice. "* cough cough * "

" Did you finish packing your stuff, Katrina? "

Originally, Katrina was going to respond with an attitude, but still thinking of the man that carried her to bed on her dream, she instead responded unaware of her smile on her face." yes Dad. The servant did it for me."

The president was somehow amused by her current tone. He wanted to ask about the sudden change of her, but then stopped before his voice came out. After dinner, Javier and Katrina went in their rooms and walked out with their luggages. They went to the airport and waited for their flight.

" I'm going to miss you so much honey." the president said giving Katrina a kiss on her forehead.

" I will miss you too Dad. But don't worry, as soon as everything goes back to normal, I will immediately return home." she gave him a big hug.

Javier who was standing there with a bored expression on his face, he looked at both of them and began thinking about something. When they were done saying goodbye, the president went to Javier and said. " Take care of her for me."

Javier bowed and said. " I will do as you asked. Mr president." Their flight was announced that it was ready, and immediately they prepared to leave. After they got into their flight, they sat and fasten their seatbelts. Katrina was sitting next to the window and stayed silent until she sees Javier who was sleeping soundly. Since she had already slept when she was at home, she wasn't feeling sleepy anymore. She tried to sleep hoping to get the same dream she had earlier, but no matter how hard she tried to fall asleep, she just couldn't fall asleep. She glared at Javier who was sitting next to her sleeping soundly.

She wasn't going to disturb him, until she remembers what he did to her at the garden, when she slipped and fell into the pool of mud. She comes up with an idea and smirked when she looks at him. " Javier... Javier." she gently taps his arm.

Javier slowly opened his eyes and groans." What do you want?" he said with dissatisfaction.

" Why are you sleeping? Aren't you supposed to be protecting me instead of sleeping around? " she said haughtily.

" What do you mean? " his voice was hoarsy and his eyes were closed half way when he looked at her.

" What if something bad happens to me while you are sleeping. "

Upon hearing what she just said, he rolled his eyes when he guessed right that she was doing this on purpose to disturb his sleep. " What could possibly happen to you in this plane? "

" You never know. What if there is someone bad and shoots me while you are busy snoring here? mhm? " Katrina folds her arms and glared at him.

Katrina was testing Javier's temper right now, but he tried to calm himself down before he lost control. " Alright fine. What do you want me to do? "

Katrina secretly smiled and said proudly." you can sleep after I fall asleep. But before that, I'm sorry but you are going to have to watch me first and after I'm asleep, you can continue with your snoring."

When Katrina hears the cracking of knuckles, she secretly smiled for her success of making him angry. She took out her tablet and began playing a game she chose. After some time, she falls asleep with her tablet in her hands. Javier felt reliefed and slowly takes the tablet from her hands and put it on her bag that was next to him. Then he puts on his sleeping mask and fell asleep soon after.
