CHAPTER 2.1
Anita was looking for Porsche as she wants him to settle in the room and get familiar with their sweet roommate, Pete.
"P'Chan, do you know where Porsche is?" Anita asked.
P'Chan looked at her and shook his head.
"No, Nita. I don't. But I'm heading to the main room right now. Come with me and maybe you'll find Porsche there." P'Chan suggested.
Anita nodded and went with him to the main room. They can hear the commotion from the outside. Anita saw that all bodyguards were on their feet with their guns drawn on Porsche who was on the ground.
"Hey!" P'Chan yelled.
All the bodyguards withdraw their guns when they saw Anita and P'Chan entering the room. P'Chan and Anita's gaze was stern causing all the bodyguards to bow their heads. Big started telling the third rule to Porsche.
"The third rule is, all the bodyguard must be at peace. No arguments and no fights. We don't like chaos."
P'Chan nodded. He went towards Big who took a step back and bowed his head in shame. P'Chan straightened Big's collar.
"You do know."
Anita looked at Big with a smile. Big smiled back at her but he quickly turned serious again.
"This is not a playground. If you want to work here, you must know all the rules by heart. Understood?" P'Chan asked, sternly.
His words was meant for everyone in the room but his eyes were locked on Porsche and Big. Porsche was avoiding eye contact from both P'Chan and Anita. Big nodded but was glaring at Porsche.
"Everyone, back to work." Anita demanded, sternly.
"You. Come with Nita and I." P'Chan said.
Porsche, Anita and P'Chan were giving Porsche a tour of the bodyguard's main room.
"This is the tailor room for all the bodyguards." P'Chan informed.
"And if you're lucky to survive from getting shot, there are doctors and nurses here to take care of 24/7." Anita explained.
"But if you die, so be it." P'Chan said and patted on Porsche's shoulder.
Anita chuckled at the wide eyed Porsche and nudged P'Chan a lightly. He looked at Anita with a small smile and winked at her.
"Now, Nita will take you to your room. As you already know you're sharing the room with her and her roommate." P'Chan said.
"Yeah. I'll lead you from here. Bye, hubby. Catch you later." Anita said, smiling cheekily at P'Chan, who shook his head and went from there.
"Is there something going on between you two?" Porsche asked.
"No, dude. I just tease him. He was quite a strict teacher. He always used to give me punishment for the slightest of mistake. It's a kind of revenge, you can say. But he is a great teacher. I respect him a lot. Whatever I am right now is because of him and my father." Anita explained.
Porsche and Anita arrived in front of their room.
"You go in. I'll come back in a minute." Anita said.
Porsche nodded and went inside. Anita went back to the main room. She saw Big sitting there with a sad face. Anita went towards him and sat beside him. Big looked towards and her gave her a smile which didn't reached his eyes.
"Quit your facade of being okay, Big. I know you and I know you very well." Anita said.
Big sighed. He knew he can't act being okay in front of Anita who knew him through and through.
"Am I this weak that Khun Korn replaced me so quickly? That to with a newbie?" Big asked.
"No. You're not. Even with a cast you defeated Porsche. Khun Korn did a very wrong thing. I don't know why he was so persistent that Porsche should work as Hia's bodyguard." Anita said.
"But you became that newbie's friend." Big said with a pout.
Anita laughed and pulled his cheeks.
"Because my grumpy friend, you said it yourself, he is a newbie. He always took the decision of his life, himself. Now, he has people to answer to. He can't live his life on his term now, which frustrates him. He wants some kind of control." Anita explained.
Big nodded in understanding.
"That means we are still friends?" Big asked.
"When were we not? Plus, I wouldn't be here, consoling you if we weren't friends. I care about you and even for Ken a little bit, even if he is an asshole." Anita said.
Big chuckled. Anita was not a fan of Ken. She completly hates the guy because he can't take the hint that she doesn't want him but the guy keeps on trying.
"Then why did you scold me?" Big asked.
"If you tried to argue, you would've gotten a punishment." Anita explained.
Big nodded and side hugged her. She bid her goodbye and went towards her room, where she smelled the food which was quite familiar to her.
"Pete, did you grandmother sent you the lunch?" Anita asked.
"Yes, she did. And she specially cooked it a bit spicy for you. It's on the table." Pete said.
Anita happily opened her lunchbox and sat with Pete.
"Did you get familiar with Porsche?" Anita asked Pete.
"Yeah. He saw me butt naked." Pete said and chuckled awkwardly.
Anita laughed and recalled when she also saw him butt naked. Anita was on a mission when Pete came for the first time. He thought he was the only one in the room and was exercising butt naked when he heard a gasp and saw Anita who had her eyes closed. He ran so fast and came out fully clothed. He got to know that she was his roommate. He apologised profusely. Anita laughed and waved off the incident. Pete and Anita became close friend or more like brother and sister.
Porsche came out from the bathroom and sat with them. Pete and Anita served him the food.
"Are we allowed to eat in the room? I walked past a huge cafeteria earlier." Porsche asked.
"Actually, no. But my grandma sent me this. It tastes way better." Pete said.
"I totally agree with you." Anita said, with her mouth full.
Pete smiled at Anita. She absolutely loved his grandma's hand made food. When she first tasted it, she was on cloud nine. She also visited his grandma with him and grandma always put extra spice in her food, since Anita loves spicy food.
"My name is Pete. I heard that you're the head bodyguard of Khun Kinn. You and Nita share the same position." Pete said, smiling.
Porsche nodded and asked Pete
"And you?"
"I take care of Khun Tankhun, Khun Kinn's older brother." Pete informed.
"Kinn's the younger child? I thought he was the big bro, acting all mature. Jerk." Porsche said.
Anita laughed at Porsche's comment.
"There are three sons in the family. Khun Tankhun, Khun Kinn and Khun Kim. But Khun Kim moved out and lives on his own. He comes once in a while." Pete explained.
"Oh. The egoist, I see." Porsche commented.
"Don't know why even he comes here." Anita mumbled to herself but Porsche and Pete heard her.
"Oh, I forgot. Our Nita had a little something going on with Khun Kim." Pete teased.
Anita glared at Pete and hit him on the back of his head.
"We agreed to not talk about it." Anita said to Pete.
"Khotod na, Nita. But Porsche is our roommate. There should be no secrets between us." Pete said. Porsche was giving her a teasing smile.
"Poor Nita was so heartbroken when Khun Kim moved out." Pete said and he and Porsche laughed.
"I'm gonna beat you guys." Anita said raised from her seat. Pete and Porsche quickly got up and started running around the table. Anita was chasing Pete and Porsche. Porsche was genuinely having fun with these two.
After a while, Porsche, Anita and Pete sat down on their respective seats and started laughing. They continued eating and talking.
"And Khun Tankhun, is he a psycho like Khun Kinn?" Porsche asked.
"Nope." Anita said, making Porsche sad and he looked down.
"You're lucky." Porsche said.
"Because he's worse." Pete said, making Porsche look at him with surprise.
"Your Khun Kinn is the most normal one in the house." Pete said.
"No way. Normal my ass." Porsche said.
"Hey! Go change and get your things from Kitchen." Big ordered Porsche.
"And Anita, Khun Kinn is asking for you in the shooting range." Big informed Anita.
Anita finished her lunch and asked Pete to thank his grandmother.
"Wait, I need to ask you something." Pete said.
Anita nodded.
Pete's smile turned into a teasing one and he said
"Do you still like Khun Kim?"
Pete and Porsche laughed. Anita rolled her eyes and showed them her middle finger.
"Fuck you."
"That's no way to talk to your elders, Nita." Pete said, smiling.
"You're only 2 years older than me." Anita said.
"Wait, how old are you?" Porsche asked.
"I turned 21 last month." Anita informed.
Anita cleaned up and asked Porsche to go to kitchen as soon as possible and she went to the shooting range.
"You asked for me, Hia?" Anita asked.
"Yes, Lia. Tem and Tay are coming. We all will shoot at the targets. So be here to shoot with us and correct our stance if you think it's wrong." Kinn explained.
"Hia, you have a perfect stance, so does P'Tay and as much as it kills me to admit so does P'Tem." Anita said.
"I know but we don't hang out anymore. So be here with us." Kinn said and wrapped his arm around Anita's shoulder.
Tay and Tem entered the shooting range.
"P'Tay!" Anita exclaimed and ran away from Kinn.
Tay looked at Anita running towards him and opened his arms to hug her. He chuckled how tightly she hugged him.
"I take it that you missed me?" Tay asked.
Anita nodded.
"I missed you so much, P'Tay. You need to visit more often." Anita said, still in Tay's embrace.
"Did you miss me?" Tem asked.
Anita looked at him and then Tay.
"No. I didn't." Anita replied and pulled Tay away from him.
Tem chuckled awkwardly. Tay smiled. Anita hates Tem. She used to like him a lot just as much as Tay but not after when Tem cheated on the Tay. Anita refused to talk to Tay also when he forgave Tem for cheating. He brought her shoes, clothes and jeweleries so that Anita would talk to him again but she didn't take any of that and returned all of it. At last Tay bought a small teddy and a big chocolate bar for her and she forgave him instantly.
"Not you abandoning me the moment you saw Tay." Kinn said, glaring at her playfully.
"Of course, P'Tay is my favorite." Anita said.
Kinn gave her a betrayed look.
"Come on. Let's shoot." Kinn said.
Porsche entered the kitchen with the drinks when he saw Anita, Kinn and two other men shooting. They removed their headphones and went towards Kinn.
"Yeah. Oh well, all hits again." Tem said.
"You're such a brag." Kinn said, grinning.
"A brag? Didn't you see that?" Tem asked, proudly.
"Hey, that means we're still good." Tay said, wrapping an arm around Anita's shoulder.
"Yeah, we're doing alright." Anita said, grinning.
Tay affectionately rubs his nose against Anita's temple. He noticed Porsche and he furrowed his eyebrows.
"Who is this? You new guy? Looks like your type of guy." Tay said, teasing Kinn and geeting the attention of Porsche.
"My papa brought him in. His name is Porsche. You can use him all you want." Kinn replied.
Anita rolled her eyes at Kinn's statement.
"Tell your papa to find me one." Tem said.
Kinn shook his head in disbelief and gripped Anita's clenched knuckles.
"You want me to find one for you?." Tay asked.
Tay and Anita were full on glaring at Tem. Kinn grinned at the scene and pulled Anita with him towards the seats.
Tem walked over to Tay, who was clearly upset. Tay shook his head and looked away from Tem.
"That's alright. I'm just joking." Tem said and him and Tay walked over to Kinn and Anita.
Anita smiled at Porsche and pulled his cheeks before sitting down with the rest.
"I'll tell my papa for you. In exchange of telling you papa that I want to expand my business to Thonglor area." Kinn said.
"Whoa! This you need to talk to Tay's dad. That's his old area. When I crashed my car, he cleared it off. The whole thing went silent." Tem grinned.
Kinn chuckled and shook his head in amusement.
"You guys are a bunch of asses." Porsche mumbled but he was quite audible to everyone sitting near him.
Anita, Kinn, Tay and Tem looked at him. Anita mentally facepalmed. 'Him and his big mouth.' Anita thought.
"What did you say?" Kinn asked.
"I said the weather's rad." Porsche replied.
Tay went to take a drink when Porsche stopped him.
"Oh. It's nothing. This one is for Khun Kinn. Auntie said that this one was specially made for Khun Kinn." Porsche said, referring to the glass in the middle.
Anita and Tay looked at each other and smirked. Kinn picked up his drink, stirred it with the straw and hold it up towards Porsche.
"I'm not thirsty. It's all yours." Kinn said.
"It's alright. I've had it just now. I'm still stuffed." Porsche made an excuse.
"Why not? Drink it." Kinn ordered, placing the glass back at the table.
"It's alright. I wouldn't dare. I'll be right here, guarding." Porsche said.
"Are you going to drink it or not?" Kinn asked.
Porsche smiled awkwardly and nodded. He took a sip of the drink and made a face. Kinn smirked slightly and made Porsche finish the drink. After refreshment, Kinn, Anita, Tay and Tem started shooting again. Tem finished his shooting and went to Tay and wrapped his arms around Tay. Kinn and Anita were still shooting.
"You're so good babe." Tem said, kissing Tay's cheek.
"Of course." Tay said before kissing Tem's cheek.
Kinn and Anita removed their headphones and smirked.
"Where did he shoot? That's such a big target." Porsche said to himself but Kinn heard him clearly.
"I think paper targets are boring. Hey, put an apple over there." Kinn demanded.
Porsche confidently walked before the paper target with an apple on his head.
"So, where should I put it?" Porsche asked.
"On your head." Kinn replied, making Porsche face fall in a frown.
"It's a nice joke." Tem said, laughing.
"It's not funny, Hia." Anita said, frowning Kinn.
"I'm for real. What are you waiting for? Or are you scared." Kinn said, mocking Porsche.
Porsche put on a poker face and put the apple on his head and stood still.
"Kinn, are you being serious?" Tay askes, concerned for Porsche.
Kinn shot the apple and it burst in pieces. Porsche stood there, emotionless. Tay and Tem stared at Kinn in disbelief. Anita eyes held anger in them.
"Come on. Let's have a meal. You! Make me a coffee and bring it to the living room." Kinn ordered and pulled a fuming Anita with him. Anita ripped her hand out of Kinn's, shocking him andc causing him to turn.
"What was that, Hia? You could've shot him? Did you forget that he got a brother who his depended on him?" Anita asked, vexed.
"You yourself said that my target and stance is correct. There was no chance that he would have been shot." Kinn said.
"That's not the point, Hia. You don't treat other bodyguards this way. Why him?" Anita asked.
"Because he's disrespectful, irritating and doesn't listen to me at all." Kinn answered.
"Sometimes, I also don't listen to you, Hia. I scold you too. If I was not your sister figure, you would've done the same thing to me?" Anita asked.
"But, you're my sister. Why are you defending him? Why are you taking his side?" Kinn asked.
"Because, he is my fellow bodyguard and I can and I will always stand up for him, unless he does something stupid." Anita answered.
"I have training session in few hours. I'll go and prepare for that. P'Tay you need to visit more often. I'm going first. See you guys." Anita said and hugged P'Tay.
Tay kissed her forehead and promised to visit often. Anita gave Tem a small and quick smile.
"And I will see you later, Khun Kinn." Anita said and left.
"Congrats, you pissed her off." Tem said.
"You should write a book on how to piss off people in 2 sentences." Tay said.
Kinn glared at them and they all went to living room.
Anita went to her room and found Pete getting ready for training.
"You're back early." Pete said.
"Yeah, Hia pissed me off. He made Porsche keep an apple on his head and then shot the apple."
Pete was shocked. Kinn never does this type of thing with any bodyguard.
"Shia, is he okay?" Pete asked.
"I don't know." Anita replied.
All of a sudden, fire alarm started blaring and sprinklers activated. Thankfully there was not a big fire but just Porsche smoking in the no smoking area. Anita mentally cursed at Porsche as she just defended his ass but he got himself in trouble again.
An hour later, Anita and Pete reached near the pool in the training room and saw Arm, Pol, Ken and few other bodyguards were also present there. P'Chan and Big came into the training room and asked everyone to take their place.
"Just so you all know, if you're captured, taken hostages, you have less than 3 minutes to untie yourselves. Make the minute count. It'll be the difference between living and dying." P'Chan said in english.
Big made sure that everyone's hand were tied tightly. Big gave Anita a smile.
"I hope everyone remembered how to untie yourself as I taught."
P'Chan walked over to Anita, who was standing on the one end of the line, and pushed her under the water and doing the same with the rest. Anita, the second she was pushed started opening her tied hand and legs. She untied herself in less than a minute came up to the surface. She was first to come up, so she sat on the edge of the pool. P'Chan patted her shoulder, praising her. She smiled at him and again started watching her friends as they started coming up one by one. At last only Porsche was left. Anita and Pete started getting concerned for Porsche. He came up after 3 mins. He was breathing heavily.
"Hey, nice one, loser." Ken mocked Porsche.
Porsche just stared at him. Anita rolled her eyes. She and Pete patted Porsche's shoulder, asking him to get up. Anita was excused from shooting practice because Kinn asked for her.
"Yes, Khun Kinn. How can I help you?" Anita asked.
"Come on, Lia. Khotod na. Don't do this to your brother. I'm genuinely sorry." Kinn said.
Anita didn't said anything, just stood their with a poker face.
"Look I bought you your favourite chocolate, 'Diarymilk Silk Oreo'." Kinn said, showing Anita the chocolate.
Anita snatched the chocolate from Kinn's hand and started eating it and relcutantly shared it with Kinn as well. Kinn and Anita was eating their meal when a bodyguard knocked on the door and entered. He bowed to Kinn and said
"Sorry to disturb you Khun but Anita is needed in cafeteria."
Anita furrowed her eyebrows and noded. She went with the bodyguard,
"What happened, Sawyer?" Anita asked.
"I don't know. Arm asked me to tell you that you're needed in cafeteria. Khun Tankhun seemed infuriated, though." Sawyer informed.
Anita nodded and rushed to cafeteria.
"Who killed Elizabeth and Sebastian." Tankhun shouted.
Anita went towards Arm, who looked relieved that Anita was there. He told her how Tankhun found out that someone killed Elizabeth and Sebastian by peeing in the pool.
"Who killed Elizabeth and Sebastian? Was it you, newbie?" Tankhun asked, accusingly.
"No? No one will confess? Okay then. Arm, show him the video." Tankhun ordered.
Anita went beside Porsche to see the video. Arm reluctantly showed Porsche the video of him peeing in the carp pond. Anita facepalmed and smacked Porsche's head from behind.
"Is it you peeing in the pond? Yes, you did, obviously. How could you do it? You're crude, cruel and mean. Pol grab him. I'll make him pay." Tankhun ordered, angrily.
Pol grabbed Porsche from behind. Anita gestured Arm to be on side.
"Hia." Anita used her sweetest voice.
"Yes, Nita?." Tankhun asked.
"Miss Universe beauty pageant is today. I want to watch it. It's almost time. Please, let's go." Anita said, pouting.
"Pageant's today?" Tankhun asked.
Arm nodded. Tankhun couldn't resist Anita's cute face.
"Fine. Let's go. Come on Arm, Pol." Tankhun demanded.
Pol left with Tankhun, Anita and Arm.
"Nita, saved your ass today." Pete said.
"Yeah. I owe her one." Porsche sighed.
On the other hand, Anita knew that Porsche was not off the hook. She could only pray what tomorrow held for him.
