THE WHITE POISON

THE BODYGUARD

SIX YEARS AGO

The alarm beeped loudly making me to jump from my bed I quickly stood up from my bed to go to the bathroom to have my bath then prepare for school, thereafter I applied lotion and my favorite perfume which is “chocolate musk”, then I wore my uniform, I brushed my hair and it flowed down to my back next I applied my Lil gloss and I quickly made my way downstairs before my mum comes into my room and start nagging and I hate it when she does that, you might think I’m rude but I’m just being blunt I say things the way they are and I don’t paint words, I say it to your face without caring if you’re hurt or not.

After I’m done with my business upstairs I came down with my school bag, I’m in my final year in high school and I’m so happy I will be graduating this year hopefully, so I can go to university and finally become a model. After coming down and sitting on our expensive dining table, we are quite rich my mum “Rose Moretti ” is a professor in a university in Italy while my dad “Micheal Moretti” does business, that’s the only thing he says, my dad is so secretive, sometimes i wonder how my mum keeps up with him, cause even me his daughter can’t bear it. So we have a pretty big house we just parked here to New York we have a big mansion in Italy where we lived with grandma and grandpa I love then so much, but I guess it because I’m the only grandchild it more like they don’t have choice because I give them a hard time since I’m quite stubborn, they gave birth to only mummy, as for dad he said his parents died before I was born, I asked him what killed them, no response as usual.

My mum served me pancakes and orange juice while I greeted her “morning mummy how was your night” and she replied sweetly to me “ fine baby girl, how was your night” and I replied “peaceful” and smiled, I love my mum so much we have this special connection and he treats me like an adult, I don’t like eating much while going to school so I ate a little , after I’m done with my food I stood thanked my mum for the food and was ready to go out when I saw my dad with this good looking guy, tall, pale white skin, light blue eyes and nice biceps about 6”2 tall and good looking , for once I found a guy attractive but I quickly composed myself before my dad noticed, immediately I went to where my dad was standing with the hot guy, I was already calling him hot I’m such a bi**ch, I greeted my dad “good morning” and completely neglect the hot guy as if he was not there but I wanted to hug him and make him touch me, my dad replied “morning honey, how was your night” I replied “fine”. The he said “this is your new bodyguard” pointing to the guy standing near him, in that instance all likeness I developed for the hot guy turned to pure hate and disgust , I looked at my dad and said “unbelievable daddy what do I need a bodyguard for” he didn’t reply me as usual and started working away in that instance I burst out in anger, I uttered to my daddy “ seriously daddy you want to work away after I asked you what I needed a bodyguard for? You never take me serious, you never tell me things, you’re always secretive, what are you always hiding” I shouted at him I guess that got to him because he stoped walking, turned around and walk back to me.

He held my hand and looked deep into my eyes I could see his green eyes my dad is white from New Orleans but mum is a black American from Chicago, I guess I got my look from mum cause I’m dark abut I can’t deny the fact that I’m beautiful and very tall,that I got from my dad, cause daddy is tall and very good looking, I’m barely nineteen but have got a nice shape and I’m so good looking and attractive, then dad said “honey you know I want the best for you and I will never put you in arms way” I replied “daddy I know but I need to know what’s going on, not less than two month you made us leave our house in Italy, we also left grandpa and grandma, my former school and the place where I call home while you made us live here, without any explanation, I still did not complain, now you hired a bodyguard for me, what wrong daddy please tell me i know something is wrong” before he could reply mum came over and held me and said “baby girl nothing is wrong we only want what’s best for you, and since you’re our only child we don’t want to take chances, believe me honey nothing is wrong” in that instant I believed her, there is why I loved my mum she treats me maturely and explain things to me unlike daddy who treats me like a kid. I said “okay”and I worked outside with the bodyguard behind me, he quickly opened the back sit of our Bentley my favorite car and motion for me to go in , I ignored him, open the door and sat down at the front passenger seat, he might be hot but I don’t like him as my bodyguard it’s kind of irritating. He closed the door angrily and looked at me, that was when I saw his beautiful grey eyes and he had tattoos and some piercings, I almost got lost in those eyes, he looks so young but I know he is way older than me.

He gets in the drivers side and start the car ignoring me completely, like I care, after a fifteen minutes car ride, we were finally at my school before he could get down and open the door for me I angrily opened the door and left the car entering inside my new school which I have been attending for the past one month,

I might be spotted by my friend oliva because the kind of look she is given me confirmed that, as she walk closer to me I noticed her new curly hair, Oliva is the white version of me but am taller and more thick than her but not that thick, she is beautiful with long blonde hair, blue eyes unlike mine which is black and she has good kissable lips, believe me when I say I have been telling her these since the first day I saw her, she was the first person I talked to the very first day I started this school and I later discovered we were in the same class, so we hit it up and became best friend, she was a cheerleader and wanted me to join , but my parents won’t agree, saying that they don’t want anything that will make me attract people’s attention, when I asked why they said for security purposes.

I finally stoped at my locker to get my book when oliva stopped behind me and asked “who was that guy” I replied her “he is my bodyguard” I don’t hide things from oliva because she is my best friend and the only person I can talk to since I’m the only child, so I tell her everything about me and I won’t lie sometimes it takes off the burden, and in that instance she was shocked she said “”what for?”I replied her “honestly I don’t know, but I can feel something big is going on and my parents are not telling me about it” she answered me “yes but still they have a good reason for keeping it away from you, they are trying to protect you” I nod my head another reason I love oliva she is like my peace of mind anytime I complain something to her she always calms me and make me see the positive side of things and believe me it feels good when you’re hearing these words from an outsider it calms you. still deep in my thought when oliva was calling me to tell me the bell has been rang for class to begin, so we collected our books and went inside our class room.

The days passed quickly than expected not that I was even paying attention to what was taught my mind kept seeing one image, an image of my bodyguard he is so hot and handsome, I don’t even know his name, I made a mental note to kill my pride and ask of his name while going home, I know he will come and pick me up after all he is my bodyguard, and I want to ask him why he was employed to guard me and I pray he knows but I doubt he will even tell me if he knows,

When class was over, me and oliva worked hand in hand outside the school gate when I spot my bodyguard leaning in the the car waiting for me, he was so good looking in a black joggers and a Nike shirt all this muscle stood up in the shirt and in that moment I swore my heart skipped, I heard oliva said “Christ dovina you didn’t tell me he is this hot and good looking ”, before I would reply we were already close to him and oliva went to shake him and asked of his name, oh I didn’t tell you that oliva is bold and she behave slutty sometimes , but I love her like that, but she has a boyfriend who she can kill for but that‘s her nature, she is not interested In other guys except her boyfriend but she loves to flirt with other guys ,my bodyguard smiled at her and answered her question “my name is jack in a calm , smooth sexy voice in that instance my heart melted I know I have fallen for this bodyguard of mine.
