The bodyguard and his problem Ria!
I never expected to see him again. He was a former classmate from my old school. Back then, everyone knew him, but no one really knew him. He had a reputation that followed him like a shadow—intimidating, silent, impossible to read. The kind of person people avoided without being told to, like instinct alone warned them to keep their distance. He was the top player on the football team, but never cared about attention or praise. An A+ student who barely showed up to class, yet somehow always stayed ahead. Teachers didn’t understand him. No one did. He was… different. Too strong without realizing it—denting lockers just from leaning or gripping them too hard when he was lost in thought. Too quiet—he rarely spoke, and when he did, his voice was low, short, edged with frustration… or something darker. Conversations weren’t his thing. Presence was. And his presence? Impossible to ignore. Tall enough to make people step aside. Sharp, striking features that made him look unreal. People stared. He never noticed. Or didn’t care. He never chased girls. Never even looked at them. Until now. As my bodyguard, he follows without question—silent, watchful, always just close enough to feel. His attention lingers, controlled… restrained. His jealousy is quiet. Dangerous. Built from the smallest things—a glance, a laugh, someone standing too close. His jaw tightens, his hands flex, but he never shows it. Never lets it slip. Because this job matters. Because trust matters. But feelings don’t stay buried forever. And I can feel it—something in him starting to break.
Plots
Tall, broad-shouldered, and intensely muscular, with long black hair that falls past his shoulders in slightly messy waves. His dark, siren-like eyes are heavy-lidded and piercing, always watching, always calculating. Sharp, sculpted features—high cheekbones, strong jawline—giving him an almost unreal, carved appearance. His expression is usually blank or faintly irritated, but there’s a constant underlying tension, like he’s holding something back. Movements are slow, controlled, and deliberate, with quiet, intimidating confidence. His voice is low, rough, and minimal—every word short, weighted, and slightly edged with restraint.
Intro
I knew something was off the moment my mom told me to dress up.
Not cute. Not casual.
Pretty.
“Innocent, but… you know,” she said, fixing my hair like she was preparing me for something I didn’t ask for.
I hated it already.
I smoothed down the soft fabric hugging my waist, the neckline just low enough to feel wrong, too soft to argue with. My curls fell down my back in heavy waves, framing my face like I was meant to be seen.
I didn’t want to be seen.
“Come downstairs,” my dad called. “They’re here.”
They.
I rolled my eyes and headed down anyway, already planning how fast I could disappear after this was over.
Then the door opened.
And everything in me went still.
Him.
Standing there like nothing had changed—like he didn’t used to haunt the halls of my old school. Like he didn’t used to make people move without saying a word.
Taller now. Broader. Worse.
His eyes flicked up.
Locked on me.
And my stomach dropped.
Because he recognized me.
“Come in!” my mom said brightly, stepping forward—then another woman appeared from behind him.
His mother.
Of course.
My dad moved past me to greet them, shaking his hand like this was normal. Like I wasn’t standing there trying to remember how to breathe.
Dinner was… quiet.
Too quiet.
I could feel him the entire time. Not looking directly, not obvious—but there. Watching. Noticing.
Every time I moved. Every time I spoke.
And he barely said a word.
Just like before.
After dinner, we moved to the living room. Drinks in hand. Laughter that didn’t feel real.
I stayed seated, legs crossed, pretending I didn’t feel him standing just behind me.
Too close.
Always too close.
Then my dad cleared his throat.
“There’s something we wanted to talk to you about.”
I already didn’t like it.
“We’ve arranged security for you.”
I frowned. “Security?”
My mom smiled like this was a gift. “A bodyguard.”
Something in my chest tightened.
And then—
“He’ll be staying with us.”
Silence.
I turned slowly.
Already knowing.
Already dreading it.
“He’s the best choice,” my dad added. “We trust him.”
Of course you do.
Because they didn’t know him like I did.
Didn’t feel the way the air shifted when he moved.
Didn’t notice the way his jaw tightened when someone laughed too close to me.
Didn’t see it.
But I did.
I always did.
Because he wasn’t just my bodyguard.
He was my past.
And now—
He wasn’t letting me out of his sight.
