Under His Protection::: "Well this is a bit awkward, don't you think?" Japhet chuckled as he looked up to Laura then to Michael, smiling inwardly Michael removed his eyes from the fancy menu in his hand and looked at the man who just spoke breaking the silence from the quiet table.Japhet had finally saved him from ordering from the ridiculous pricey menu and equally absurd names for food."Are you comfortable Laura?" Japhet asked with a smile on his handsome face.Michael shook his head and gave japhet a sanguine smile, there was really something about japhet that he did not like, well not really but even if he had to admit it is probably his first time dining with a woman and her bodyguard, something was off about the guy."I don't seem to like the fact that you are here, no offense though" he looked at Michael with a small smile."None taken" Michael shot back briefly glancing at Laura sideway, she had been silent since they

Under His Protection:::: Japhet smiled " it is good to hear that then" Michael gave japhet a hard look, oh! how he wanted to remove that pleased smile from his face,  japhet then  looked at Michael " I apologise for my uncalled behavior when we first met, by now you should probably guess that iam courting Laura"Michael could swear he saw red haze in his vision when he looked at japhet who had the nerve to admit his feelings for Laura to his face. It took an ounce of his will not to strangle him or worse still snap his neck right on the table.Thankfully he was saved by the waiter from his unexpected death in his hand and Michael was saved from answering him when their food arrived. They ate in silence, Laura and japhet were making small conversation smiling and eating ignoring Michael which was fine by his opinion.Michael just ate his food without really savouring it, while they had the chance to busy chat with each

Under His Protection:::: Laura scoffed focusing her glittering eyes in his direction. Seeing her like this close under the soft lightening of a posh restaurant makes him wanting to do something he had promised himself never to do again just like that fateful night, he stopped himself ncrom remembering but here he goes again touring himself with those memories."If I did not know better my father has just found the perfect opportunity to keep an eye on me now that iam away from home, he likes to know everything" she lamented."Call it fatherly love" Michael said while trying so hard not to focus on her exquisite lip, those same lips he had tasted before when he gave in into the temptation one night, long time ago.She snorted pushing her hair at the back of her shoulder " my father is a stick-in-the-mud kind of guy who cannot accept the fact that iam no longer a little girl that needs to be in his care""You cannot blame his Excellency

Under His Protection:::: "Michael..." Laura called again, her voice filled with dread."If I caught this bastard he will die in my bare hands tonight" Michael swore, but too bad as he peeked in the varenda there was no sign of anything. Michael realized the stalker thing was way serious than he thought."It is okay" he comforted her with a hug, he could still sense her fear the way her body tremble under his touch. "Iam here, I will not let anything bad happen to you I promise"Laura heart was pounding loudly in her chest,she could swear that Michael could hear it, her body was shaking badly due to the unexplained shadow in her window,this was the first time such scene happened to her since the creepy stalker thing started.In the shelter of Michael's strong embrace she clutched his shirt tightly like a scared little girl, yet she hated herself for being in his arms which made her feel safe and secure from any arm. Laura

Under His Protection::: Michael shrugged casually, he eyed her from head to toe " Go ahead princess, show me what you've got. Do your worst me me see"Laura knew he was baiting her because he did not believe she could take care of herself. He thought she was this delicate girl that needs protection from time to time, she vow that moment to show him how strong and independent woman she had become who needs no man to gaurd her.she was about to kick him in the groin when he is totally unprepared from her attack, but in an instant swift movement Michael was already standing at her back with her hands folded in her back, he placed his other arm across her neck."See?" He said softly in her ears, his hot breath tickled her " what are you going to do when your stalker do this?"Let go of me this instant Michael" Laura demanded vehemently trying so hard to escape him, Goodness! "How can I get away from him?" She thought." I won't let

Under His Protection::::"Good morning princess"Laura stopped from locking her apartment door and turned sideways to look at the familiar voice of the man mirroring her gesture of locking the door infront of him.She frowned at him questioningly " Did you just come out from that room Michael? What the hell are you doing in the apartment next door?"Michael made a gesture of dangling the apartment key infront of her with a self satisfied smile on his handsome face " Starting today, I will be your new neighbor"Laura stared at him with her mouth hanging open, she didn't think she heard him right and probably need to clean her ears again because she swear to God she heard say something like he would be her new neighbor which means he would be living next to her."What did you do to the previous owner of that room? She asked him intriguingly. " Did you kill them so you could get the apartment? Did you bully them to give up their home for y

Under his protection::::Michael could not care less that night if her father would catch him kissing his daughter, he knew Jadua would kill him on the spot, right now the only thing on Michael's mind was to kiss those lips he had been dying to taste for years and he did not regret his decision, not for one second."You are awake" Laura voice dragged him out of his reverie, he became aware of those light brown eyes sparkling under the morning sun light, she was standing there looking beautiful when smiling like that.Michael happened to be self conscious about his state of appearance, he touched the back of his head, " Iam sorry I slept late, you should have woken me up""It is okay" she smiled brightly placing the food on the small table, " You are just in time, breakfast is ready"Michael wanted to pinch himself to remember that he was not dreaming, one of the reason why he hadn't slept well last night was the fact that her pillow, her damn

Under His Protection::::: Michael reached her just as the light above snapped and came crashing down, he grabbed Laura and pushed her against the wall shielding her with his body. Women were screaming and people were running all over as the equipment shattered into pieces, glass went flying in ever direction. With his back to it, he protected her covering her head with his hand while his body covered hers, Michael never wanted to let go of her, glancing over his shoulder he knew how he came close almost losing her.After things settled down he moved back cupping her face in his hand looking into her eyes that were filled with horror, " Are you okay?" He asked, as he checked her over for any sign of injuries.Her voice shaking, body trembling, she nodded " Yes, I think so""Stay right here while I check things out" he ordered, taking out his cell phone he dialed the police telling them what had happened and to send some officer o

Under His Protection:::: After his release last night, japhet had been early the next morning waiting for Laura In her shop like a smitten dog waiting for the lady he fancied. Michael could give him credit for seeing him that early but there was still something about him that is too good to be true, even his Excellency had flaws. He had sensed it since their first meeting but this japhet...."If looks could kill, poor japhet would be dead by now" he heard the snarky remark from the woman beside him on the pavement, " Don't you think it is rather too early to send dark glares to my good friend, Michael"Michael raised an eyebrow in her direction, deep inside he got annoyed that the woman was childing him early in the morning because of her friend. Does she like him too? His mind asked the question that haunted him since the first day he met japhet, this was one of the reason why he did not want to accept this job in the first place, he could not tak
