Protecting the Bad Boy

Uh... Huh... My boyfriend? Maybe?

One month later

The bell"s ring filled the air signaling the end of the last period.

Finally!!!

I got up from my chair and started to put the books in my backpack. I have no idea why I even bothered to get them out, when obviously I wound"t pay any intention in the class. I never did. I wasn"t here to study. I was working so all I had to do was just to attend any class Rhydian attended.

I yawned as I threw the backpack on my back and headed to the door. Rhydian walked next to me but didn"t say anything till we left the classroom.

"You look really tired." He said as a starter.

"No way, captain Obvious." I mumbled as I yawned again.

Since Daniel came here to train me with fighting and stuff, I had to spend almost all the free time I had, training with him. I had to get punch after punch, to have bruises all over my body and wait for the next training... It kind of sucks.

"So what are you doing now?" He asked kind of shyly?... scratching the back of his neck.

I stopped walking and stared him in his eyes. He didn"t see me in my face, but then he decided to stare me right back in my eyes. What did he mean by that? Why is he acting like this?

"Why?" I asked.

"Answer me first." He said sounding like ordering me. I frowned at that.

"I don"t know. I was thinking of going to the supermarket and buy a few things." I answered sincerely.

"Can I come with you?" Seriously, why is he acting like this?

"Yeah? Of course." I answered not too sure. I don"t like when people act like this. When they do it, it means they are hiding something... I don"t like people with hidden things.... they can be very dangerous. "What are you hiding?" I blurt out, before being able to stop myself.

He hesitated first but then smiled shyly. What is all this shy thing about? He never acts like this. Why today? Why now?

"Nothing. Just was getting bored."

I nodded still not believing him. I know he is hiding something. "I will just act like I believed you." I mumbled and he smiled and then the smiled turned into e smirk. This guy has serious problems.

We walked toward the parking lot. Today I came in school on foot. I really missed running, but in this place I couldn"t just go out and run. I couldn"t leave the house and leave Rhydian alone. So I just decided to walk, since running was out of the options.

While we were walking, I felt Rhydian"s arm placing itself around my shoulders. I frowned. I didn"t like to be touched. Plus since that day when I threatened him, he didn"t do this gesture anymore. "What the f**k is wrong with you?" I asked him shrugging off his arm from my shoulders. "You are acting really weird." I said and he just shrugged. This guy will drive me mad, I swear to God, for that.

We got in his car and he drove to the nearest supermarket. We didn"t talk during the drive. I was still trying to figure it out what was happening. I had noticed that during some days or even weeks, he looked more happy, and all cheerful, like a kid in the Christmas morning, and in other days he looked like he was about to kill everyone, like something was bothering him.... he got lost in his thoughts and... I didn"t know what was going on. And that made me want to kill everyone.

I tried to chase him where he went, but he was good enough to don"t be chased. I never had the chance to figure it out what he did when he was out. I tried to find something by hearing his calls but it was like trying to solve puzzles. So till now.... I had nothing.

Rhydian parked the car at the parking lot of the supermarket and we got out walking towards the building.

I had in plans to buy everything that looked tasty to me. And by this I mean ice cream, chips, nutella, M&M, chocolates.... and things like that. I couldn"t eat things like that in CIA. So now at least I had the chance.

I started to pick one from everything. I didn"t mind the money.

"Where the f**k will you find the money to buy all of those?" He asked and I smirked.

"I have enough money to buy what I want." And that was true. I had enough money to live my whole life without working.

Being an agent brings a lot of money, and I had both of my parents doing that job. They didn"t like using all of them by buying fancy cars and huge houses or things like that, so they had enough money in the bank. After they died those money were left to me. And since I am working like an agent I earn those money by myself as well. I haven"t spend any of all of those money. I didn"t have to. I lived at the CIA"s building, where I didn"t have to pay for anything, so I didn"t have to spend money.... So yeah, I am practically a billionaire. :P

After finishing shopping Rhydian drove us to home. I got all of my bags... okay I tried to hold all of my bags, but since I couldn"t he helped me, and walked towards the front door. I was about to unlock it, when a shirtless Daniel opens the door and smiled down at me as I glared at him.

Since he came here, he never left the house. Especially during the day. He didn"t wanted to be seen from the others, so he just stood inside, if it was really necessary he may came out during the night, but that"s all. So I have no idea why he opened the door, today.... in the middle of the day, may I add.

"Who are you?" I heard Rhydian"s harsh voice talking behind me.

The f**k, Daniel. Why the f**k you had to open the door?

"He is... Uh! Huh.... My boyfriend? Maybe? Yeah totally my boyfriend." I said as Rhydian"s face dropped and Daniel was smirking like and asshole. Jerk.

I pushed him inside, imagining a million ways of setting fire to him. "Thank you for the ride." I said to Rhydian trying to put a smile in my face, but I was beyond anger to do that, so it looked more like glaring than smiling. "See you tomorrow."

I closed the door and turned around to face with Daniel to glare at him. "What the f**k Daniel. You are supposed to don"t be seen, and then you go and open the door in the middle of the day." I shouted to him, heading to the kitchen to leave the bags.

"I was getting bored alone, and I didn"t know you were with him." I frowned at him at the way he mentioned Rhydian.

"Let me eat something and then we will train." I said pulling out of the bags some chips and ice cream. I will eat the rest later in my room, while I will act like a total stalker by looking at Rhydian with binoculars from my window. I am that desperate to find out what is he up to.

***

I tried to punch Daniel in his face but he ducked and punched me in my stomach leaving me breathless. He was about to go on with his next move but I hold up my hand to stop him from hurting me again and sat down in the floor. I was tired. Really tired.

"I can"t breathe." I said to him drinking water from the bottle that was near me.

"You are getting slower." He frowned at me and I gave him one of the best glares existing in this world.

"We have been training like this for three hour now. What do you expect from me? To turn myself into a f*****g green Hulk and keep fighting for hours?"

He didn"t answer to me. Instead he sat next to me and smiled at little.

"Why did you tell him, I was your boyfriend?" My whole body froze. f**k?

"I don"t know. That was the first thing that came to my mind." I said trying to find an other topic.

"So the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about me is being your boyfriend?" I turned my face to him to find him smirking at me.

"No. Of course no. I just wasn"t finding any other explanation to tell him in those moment. That"s it." I said and he frowned.

"I liked it though." Daniel smiled at me.

"Liked what?" I asked confused.

"The boyfriend thing." He said coming closer to me.

Wait what?

I got up immediately and started to blush. "Look Daniel... It"s not the time now. I"m in a mission... and I don"t want to have a boyfriend right now..."

"What about when all of this is over?" He said getting up as well and still coming closer to me. I was pressed against the wall now and there wasn"t much space between us. And I sure didn"t like that.

"I don"t think it would be a good thing. You are way older than me and... I"m almost all the time in missions and...." What the f**k is wrong with this guy?

"We can figure it out." He said and was leaning towards me to kiss me. Well I can"t tolerate that. I pushed him away.

"Daniel stop." He frowned and looked a little bit hurt. "I think of you like my friend and I don"t want it to change so please don"t destroy it." My voice sounded a little bit hurt and I didn"t liked that, but I couldn"t control it. "I will be in my room."

I walked out of the basement and headed to my room. As soon as I was in, I locked the door, and changed into some other clothes, since the ones I was wearing smelt like sweat. I lied down at my bed staring at the white ceiling. This was too much to bare. I had a mission to do and there is no place for feeling like that in my life. Love wasn"t part of my life. Since my dad died, there was no love left in it.

I took my binoculars and watched out of the window. It was dark outside, but Rhydian"s room was lighted up from the lights that were on. He was sitting in his desk frowning at some kind of file that he was keeping in his hands.

Then he left the file and started to take off his clothes and changed into some black ripped jeans and a black hoodie.

He was going out.

I left my room after grabbing some weapons and headed to the front door. "I"m going out." I shouted to Daniel and left the house. I got in the car and started it, waiting for Rhydian"s car to leave his house. I didn"t waited too much though and soon he was in the road driving and I was after him, driving in silence trying to don"t get noticed. This is the most exiting thing I have done all day so... Thank youuuu God!

This time Rhydian wasn"t driving like a maniac in the street or something like that. That was the main reason why I couldn"t chase him. He soon was out of my sight. Yeah I could use the micro-trackers that he had in him, but the bastard finished whatever he had to do before I could even figure it out that he had already arrived in the place.

But thank to God it was different today. Looked like he didn"t really wanted to do whatever he was going to do.

Anyway...

I just focused on the road so I wasn"t going to miss a thing. The whole mystery around Rhydian was making me pissed off more and more than often for my liking. I just wanted to know what was going on with this guy. I had my thoughts that he could be part of an gang or such a thing, doing illegal things and other stuff, but I wasn"t really sure about it. After all his dad worked in CIA, but yet again there were so many things missing in Rhydian"s file that I didn"t really know if I could even trust the ones that were already in the file.

Soon Rhydian slowed down the car and parked inside what it looked like a dark alley. I parked my own car and started to go after him without making any noises so he wasn"t going to notice me. I did my best to don"t go straight to him and punch the hell out of him, when I saw him entering a w***e house like it was the most natural thing in the world. Is he f*****g with me? He... He comes here almost all the time to f**k random girls?

I don"t know why I started to feel disappointed from him and... angry... maybe? I just wanted to kill him and save myself from all of this crappy things.

But I didn"t want to go anywhere till he comes out and I chase him to home. But I couldn"t stay in the dark alley as well, so decided on placing myself on the top of the roof, in front of the w***e house so I could see him walking out and then chase him to home.

I took my gun in my hand to be prepared for anything. Who knows, maybe I decide in killing him. After all he had fun enough by f*****g sluts. I want to have fun too.

I waited for almost half an hour when I heart a shot that filled the air. My heart started to beat so fast... and I didn"t even know the reason. Maybe because I had months without hearing that sound... without being in the middle of the action. It was... the adrenaline that was doing its job with my heart. Less than two seconds after I heard thew shot, Rhydian walked out of the w***e house. And he wasn"t alone... and not walking at all.... he was actually running for his dare life. And some guys.... some big guys with really big guns were shooting bullet after bullet towards his head.

Seriously Rhydian?

I did what I had to do. I started to shot to the guys that were trying to kill the jerk. But still I tried to avoid killing any of them. I didn"t want to kill anyone... yet. I wasn"t ready yet and besides that I didn"t know for sure if they were that bad guys to deserve a bullet in their head. I just started to shot at them in the shoulders and leg or arms. The best places to slow them down and still don"t kill them. The shoulders were a little bit dangerous, but I was that well trained to don"t injure them that badly.

After shooting almost all of them, I aimed at the last one who was trying to shot Rhydian.

Sorry dude, not happening. I thought as shot him in the leg, but unfortunately not before he shot Rhydian in the arm.

I ran across the roof and went downstairs the building and ran towards my car immediately as Rhydian"s car was driving in the road already. I chased him, cursing under my breath.

Why the f**k he had to do these kind of things and don"t be a normal person?

I looked at the phone to see were he was going, using the micro-trackers. I was hoping he wasn"t going in some other place to cause some other problems and me trying to save his sorry ass.

My eyes widened as I realized that he was actually going to my house. What the f**k?

And that was all it took to me to go in crazy mode and drive to home like mad. What the f**k was he doing in my house? Seriously you fucker? What do you want in my house?

I took a sharp turn and then I was near my house, but turned off the engine about two houses away from the house, so he wasn"t going to see the car. I bet he had noticed me and now I am in deep s**t. What if he now knows that I am an agent? f**k me!!!!!

Ugh!!!!!

I entered the house form the back door and entered my room immediately.

And then my heart stopped. Seriously it stopped.

"Hi!" Rhydian smiled at me in a very innocent way waving his hand in the air slowly.

I tried to look calm and very innocent since.... I was home all the time, wasn"t I?

"What the f**k Rhydian? What are you doing in my room?" I hissed at him as I closed the door, I don"t need Eric or Daniel right now to make this situation more awkward.

"I... had... a problem?... Yeah a problem... with some people and they chased me.... You know.... problems? Right?" He smiled at me still trying to look innocent.

I frowned. Couldn"t help on that.

I know problems. Yeah... You go f**k a random girl and then whatever else and puff.... you were being chased from the bodies working in the w***e house. Simple as that.

"Sorry I showed up like this." Well.... at least he doesn"t suspect on me.

"Yeah whatever." I said and sat on my bed. He was still standing near the room. Then I noticed the the wound arm. I could do a better job and protect him better. "Are you okay?" I asked emotionless.

"What?" He asked confused.

"Your arm." I said and took the first aid kit I had in my room.

"Oh.... Yeah.... It is nothing." He said and stared at his wound.

"Yeah a bullet in your arm is nothing in fact." I muttered.

"How do you know it is a bullet wound?" He asked raising an eyebrow. I almost bit my tongue at that.

"I watch action movies." I said and started to clean his arm from the blood which by the way was covering my floor and it was making me sick.

"Uhuh..." He said and didn"t talk again.

The bullet just had scratched his arm, so I didn"t have to go downstairs and take other tools and things to take out the bullet.

"Why were they chasing you?" I asked and raised my head to see him in his face. He was looking at me all the time.

"I... can"t tell you." He whispered leaning slowly forward. There was something strange in his eyes. It wasn"t pain or scare or I don"t know. It was like he wanted to do something so badly....

Our faces were so closed and it was actually making me feel uncomfortable. His eyes fell on my lips and then I realized what he wanted to do, I started to fight with myself to don"t punch him in the face.

There was a knock in the door and I walked backwards. "D..." and that"s the part when I ran to the door to shut Daniel before he says my real name.

"What do you want?" I said, but it came out too rough.

"I... wanted to say sorry for what happened in the basement. I was about to talk to you early but you went out and.... I... just hope what happened won"t change anything between us..." Daniel said and I really wanted to punch him now.

"I... need..." I saw behind me where Rhydain was standing in the middle of the dark. "Time. To think." I said and Daniel"s face fell a bit. "Look, I trusted you and then you tried to... you know what... and I don"t think it"s the time for this things..."

"I understand...." He said, but didn"t leave without kissing my cheek softly. "I hope you forgive me."

I closed the door slowly and stared at the dark. Maybe Daniel really liked me. And he was my only friend that knew me as well as Eric does and... maybe after all of this is over... Not the time Dylan!

"What did he do?" Rhydain asked and I frowned at the tone he used.

"None of your business." I said and walked toward him to take the cloth covered with his blood and threw it to the bin I had in my room. I will take care of it later.

"How old is your boyfriend?" Rhydian asked.

"I don"t know... Twenty or something like that." I answered him sitting on my bed and stared at him wondering what the hell was his problem. He was acting weird these last days and I wasn"t sure what to think for him anymore. I didn"t know if I had to suspect at him or he was just trying to be friendly or I just don"t know.

"But he is like three years older than you. Don"t you mind that?"

"Firstly he is two years older than me. I turned eighteen the last month. And secondly... No I don"t mind. Those are just years, nothing more, nothing less." I said crossing my arms over my chest. I really did not mind that. I just wasn"t ready for a relationship right now. That"s why I didn"t want Daniel to kiss me. Maybe I was scared that I would get hurt again, because all the people I care about are dead right now, and I can"t stand more pain. I can"t stand the pain of loosing someone again.

"Hmm... Interesting." Rhydian muttered.
