Under His Protection

Laura looked around her surrounding while shaking her head she turned to Michael who was still holding the car door waiting patiently for her to get in.

“You got to be kidding me right now Michael, there is no way I would go with you! You dare not come near my apartment” The thought of Michael coming over to her apartment made her heart beat widly as she remembered when he was still her father’s bodyguard, that night he entered her room was still fresh in her memory, but now? No! He won’t dare. Michael will never step his leg in her apartment.

“Laura, you need to start getting used to me being your bodyguard, which definitely means I have to be with you everywhere, every day and Everytime” he sighed looking at her, deep down he knew she was still hurting with how he left her with no word, no goodbyes…….. Nothing atall.

He continued “We can stay here though and argue all night if that’s what you want, because it seems to me you’re no longer interested in the dinner with your good friend” he rolled his eyes looking sideways.

Laura cursed silently with a heavy sigh. “Damn you Michael” slowly she dragged her feet towards the car as she slumped defeatedly on the passenger seat.

Michael smirked closing the door he walked over sat beside her and turned on the car ignition.

Silence filed the car making it look smaller and uncomfortable for both of them, Laura could feel the heat through her body even though the car AC was working perfectly well, just merely sitting beside her driving Michael was making her feel those things she though we’re dead. Her mind wander to possible reasons why he left, yet she could not summon the courage to ask him. He has been the only guy who is the object of her wayward emotions, Laura could still remember the feel of his lips on hers, how his hands held her in place when she tried to break free from his breathtaking kiss thinking her father might walk in on them that moment.

She sighed facing the window looking at nothing in particular, she could not stop her mind from remembering how they see each other secretly in the palace while everyone else is asleep, how he had profess his love for her every time they met , she had believed him until he left without notice leaving her heartbroken and shattered and now he is back seated close ti her again as her bodyguard. Laura closed her eyes with a sighed she sank back to her seat earning a stare from Michael.

The silence was making Michael who was driving go crazy as to why she had not said anything for about forty minutes, “what exactly is going on in her mind?” He wondered as he tried focusing on the road.

He wished she had not agree to that douchebag she called friend, he cursed silently as he waited for the traffic light “if I caught that motherfucker, I will make him regret this day he knew Laura” slowly he exhaled as the image of Japhet pecking Laura falshed before his eyes, tightening his grip on the steering he drove with speed avoiding the traffic light, the woman seated beside him was messing with his brain and how is he going to tell her the reason why he left? Will she care to know? Seeing that she’s already accepting dates from her male friends which is an indication that she has moved on. Laura hated him, it was evident because she didn’t hide it one bit but it wasn’t his fault, he was young then…… He was just 24!

Jadua would have had his head on a platter if he had caught them that night, if he had found out about their love affair because as the day goes by he was having a hard time concealing his hunger and desire for her even when they had promised to make it a secret, he could not stop his hands from holding her, wanting her to him self.

He had almost wanted to kiss her hard when he met her crying complaining to her father about the runway competition she missed, and he knew he would have been long dead with his flesh used as meal to the wolves if he had taken her with him. Micheal knew Jadua is a No Nonsense man, a cold… Brutal ….. Father, on many occasions Jadua has sent him to silent whoever objects him not to talk of kidnapping Laura, he knew Jadua would not rest even in his grave he would singlehandedly pick up everything that creeps on the surface of the earth one by one and when he gets hold of him, Jadua will cut him limb by Limb making him regret ever knowing her father. but one thing he admire alot about Jadua Van-Lerie is his geniue love for his family…. Jadua loves his family.

Michael turned seeing Laura who was already sleeping peacefully beside him, his eyes raked over her pretty face.. just three years of not seeing her she had turned into a full woman with a body that would make any sane man go crazy. His hands, mouth and body desperately yearn to do those bad things he had always thought of doing to her for the past three years, he wants to know her again….. Posses her forever.

He slowly entered her apartment turning off the car, he looked at her for some moment making sure the image of he sleeping is bodly imprinted strongly in his brain, he will do everything to make sure she forgive him but not until he caught the bastard stalking her.

Leaning forward he spoke softly to her as his finger trailed her soft skin ” I love you Laura, and j will do everything I to make you forgive me…… To give us a chance” he leaned closer and kissed her forehead.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
