KELLY's POV

I shook my head as I looked at Stephen who was standing at the doorway of my room while observing my every move like a hawk. I was currently unpacking my things from my small suitcase. I was about to pick the last two jeans that were left inside the suitcase when my fingers touched something underneath them. I suddenly remembered the things that were hidden underneath those jeans. I gave Stephen a look.

"Will you cut it out already?" his eyebrows arched as he crossed his arms across his chest and then chuckled tauntingly.

"What? I am not doing anything. I'm your bodyguard so here I am, doing my duties" I rolled my eyes and then stood straight and faced him completely.

"You're being silly. We're here in my family's private beach and we're safe here. You can go to your room and unpack as well. We're going to stay here for a week so you should fix your things" I ordered him but he didn't seem to look like has any plan on following my order right away. Ever since that incident at the party, he had been following me around like crazy and even when I was at school, he remained outside the classroom like a stalker.

I didn't know how come the school allowed him to enter inside the campus just like that but it was getting on my nerves. Whenever I tried to shoo him away, he would just stare at me like a father that disciplining his daughter and I've never been so pissed in my entire life.

Even Mike and my other male friends couldn't even approach me because he would give them a deathly glare whenever they try to approach me. Because of it, we've been arguing a lot this past week...

"This is crazy! I can't breathe anymore when you're around! Will you keep your distance at me like you used to do?! This is ridiculous!" I was almost shouting in total frustration. He just stood there while looking at me without any emotion in his eyes.

"I don't like what happened at the party to happen again. You almost got yourself killed because of how hardheaded you are so I am taking this measure. I won't ever allow you to get endangered again" I huffed as I ran my hand over my face in annoyance.

We're currently in school and everyone was looking at me curiously, some are even laughing, because Stephen literally looked like one of those men in black in movies while following me whenever I go.

"This is too much! I am not a child anymore and I can take care of myself! Please, just go outside like you used to do before and wait for me until I finish my classes" I tried to calm down while telling him that but he just arrogantly smirked at me.

"Sorry but you're not my boss. Your grandma was the one who instructed me to follow you wherever you go" Yes. Stephen and Cyrus informed my family about what happened in the party and they got so worried about me because of it.

My grandma panicked when she heard what happened so she ordered Stephen and Cyrus to double their efforts into guarding me.

I understand her that she's just worried but about me but this is too much!

"Argh!" I screamed in total frustration and walked towards the canteen to eat my lunch. Of course, he followed me. I mentally shook my head.

After I ordered my food, I sat alone at the table in the corner of the school cafeteria. I was about to begin eating when I suddenly realized something.

"Why don't you order something and eat as well? You look like some stalker and creepy person while standing there" I said with my eyebrows creased. To my surprise, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Me? A Creepy stalker? I don't think so. Look" my eyes followed what he was referring to and my mouth hang open when I saw a group of women, openly staring at him flirtatiously. Those girls were popular in the campus because all the member of their group were beautiful and loves flirting with guys.

They were openly ogling at Stephen to my irritation, Stephen winked at them and that made them giggle.

I suddenly tasted something bitter in my mouth as I glared at Stephen.

"If you don't want to eat, keep quiet and let me eat in peace!" I hissed. I didn't know why I felt so irritated at him especially when he winked at them. I heard him chuckle but I chose to ignore him and just continued eating before I lose my appetite.

After I finished my meal, I went to my last two subjects in the afternoon.

When my classes finally ended, I decided to go to the library to read a book about my report.

"I need to go to the restroom. Wait for me here" Stephen said while we're walking. I rolled my eyes and sassily faced him.

"Just go. You don't have to tell me"

"Stay here and wait for me" he said firmly. I released a harsh breath. He's really a bossy man! Argh!

"Fine! Go!" he kept on glancing at my direction while walking away from me to go to the restroom. I mentally smirked.

"You really think I'd wait for you here? You wish!" I said playfully to myself and then left that spot.

I was almost near the library when I saw Mike at the nearby bench, obviously waiting for someone. His face brightened up when he saw me.

"I knew you'd go to the library" I smiled. Since the night of the party, we haven't had the chance to talk because Stephen was always near me.

"Why? Do you need something?" he shook his head but the smile on his lips widened.

"Not really. I just want to see you. Thankfully, your bodyguard isn't with you" he openly stared at me with awe. I gulped inaudibly.

"Why?"

"Because my day isn't complete without me talking to you" he took my hands. I suddenly felt uncomfortable because of what he did.

"I meant what I said at the party, Kelly, but it's not just crush. I like you and I am willing to court you to prove my feelings for you" he lifted my hands that he was still holding and was about to kiss them when someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Mike's collar and pulled him away from me.

"How dare you go near Kelly and try to make a pass at her?" Stephen's voice was dangerous and menacing. He lifted Mike from the ground by clutching his collar tightly. Mike has a smaller frame than Stephen that's why he lifted him up that easily.

"Stop it!" I yelled.

"S-So what if I go near K-Kelly? Y-You're just her b-bodyguard" my eyes widened when I noticed that Mike's face was already red because he's choking. He was also having difficulty talking.

I grabbed Stephen's solid arm to stop him but he ignored me. Because of worry and panic, I didn't even notice that my hand flew to his cheek, slapping him hard to pull him back to his senses.

"I said, stop it! Do you have any plan to kill him?!" I yelled. He blinked for a couple of seconds as if he just got out of a magic spell. He finally let go of Mike who's now coughing.

"Oh, my god! Are you okay, Mike?" I asked him worriedly and rubbed his back. I looked back at Stephen and saw a strange emotion that passed through his eyes. I gritted my teeth.

"I'm sorry about this, Mike" I said to him apologetically before I grabbed Stephen's hand and pulled him angrily away from there. That was my first time seeing him acted like that and I was shocked.

When we got out of the school premises and reached the parking lot, we had a heated argument. I was so mad at him.

"Damn you! You don't have the right to do that to my friend! Who do you think you are?!" I yelled at him exasperatedly and then repeatedly pounded him on the chest with my fists. I felt sorry for Mike. He doesn't deserve to be treated like that.

To my surprise, Stephen pulled me roughly to his body and enveloped me in his tight embrace.

"I'm sorry of what I did. I just lost myself there. I hate it when...when another man is touching you in anyway" he almost mumbled. I almost gasped in surprise. A familiar feeling rushed though me but I tried to ignore him because I was still so pissed off at him.

"B*stard! B*astard..." I kept on saying while hitting his shoulder as I burrowed my face on his hard chest...

Because of what happened, I decided to take some time away from everything. We don't have a class on Thursday and Friday so I decided to go to our private beach in Hawaii. I decided to absent from Monday to Wednesday classes. I talked to my teachers and told them that I needed to attend an important matter for a couple of days and they allowed me to go.

I didn't have plans of going together with Stephen but when I remembered how my family got worried about me the other day, I deiced to just bring him along. Cyrus couldn't come because of an important matter.

"Are you sure you're okay here?" his tone changed all of a sudden and became serious.

"Yes. Just go" I even motioned my hand to shoo him away. When I was sure that he already left me alone in my room, I carefully removed the two jeans from my suitcase and picked up one of my guns that was hidden there.

One of my former colleagues that was now residing here in Hawaii gave them to me along with the suitcase and clothes. I brought another suitcase which consists of my clothes but when we arrived here in Hawaii; Gyros, my former colleague met up with me and he insisted to give me another suitcase. He said that it was for my own protection to carry some.

He pretended to be one of my grandma's men so that Stephen would not suspect anything.

"Kelly, what do you----what the hell is that?" my eyes widened and I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard Stephen. Damn it! Why did he come back?! How come I didn't even sense his presence right away?! I didn't even hear a sound indicating that he was getting closer.

"Nothing. This is just for my safety" I tried to act normal as possible and then simply put the gun back inside the suitcase.

"For your safety?" I nodded my head vigorously. He was looking at me suspiciously and I almost groaned in frustration. I got careless!

"Of course. I've been targeted a couple of times already so I figured that it's time for me to have a weapon to defend myself" his eyes turned into slits.

"Do you even know how to use those? How did you get them? Where?"

"Don't worry. They're licensed" I answered dismissively. His forehead crinkled even more.

"You're not answering my questions" I heaved a sigh. Sh*t! I don't know how to answer his questions but I need to say an answer to shut him up and make him stop bombarding me a lot of questions.

"I know how to use a gun because my father taught me to. My grandma is very concern about my safety too so they taught me how to use guns. I already answered your question. You can get out now. I need to do something so don't disturb me" he stared at me quietly for a couple of seconds before he turned his back on me.

I didn't know if I my answer convince him. I cursed inwardly.

STEPHEN's POV

I didn't know what to think upon seeing Kelly holding a gun like that. I've never expected for her to carry a gun like it was a normal thing for women her age. That wasn't like her. I don't know why but I wasn't convince of what she said. Don't tell me I was right...

I clenched my jaw tightly. I mentally shook my head. I entered to my respective room and decided to unpack. We would be staying at Kelly's family's private beach for a week.

While unpacking, my mind kept on remembering about the gun that Kelly was holding. From that moment on, I decided to start my plans into discovering the truth...

After I finished what I was doing, I went to the bathroom and decided to take a shower. After that I went out of my room and went to the living room to watch TV while waiting for Kelly to come out of her room. After about an hour, she finally came out and my lips parted in awe when I saw her.

She was wearing a shorts that just reached her mid-legs and then an orange spaghetti strapped top. The perfect shape of her sexy body was evident because of her outfit. I gulped inaudibly.

"Let's go" she said. My eyebrows furrowed.

"Where?"

"We don't have something to eat here for now so we need to eat out. The caretaker will come tomorrow and she will be our helper her for a week" I nodded my head and then turned off the TV.

After that, we went to a nearby restaurant and ate dinner.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to ask me something?" I heaved a sigh.

"Why did you decide to come here all of a sudden? You didn't even say anything when I told you that I would come with you here. I didn't really expect for you to agree right away" she didn't speak for a couple of seconds. She looked like she was calculating her answer properly.

"I just want to take this opportunity to be with you and get to know you better" my breath automatically hitched upon hearing that as I stared at her in disbelief. What?! Did she really say that?!

I wanted to feel happy about that but something wasn't right...
