Chapter 12
Chris knocked on Lily's door. It was past ten already and she wasn't awake. Earlier her maids had gone to wake her up telling her that her father asked her to join him for breakfast but she denied saying she'd eat later.
Chris opened the door and saw her all sprawled in her bed. She looked tired from the position she was lying on. He chuckled lightly once he saw her blanket on the floor and just a few sides of it hanging in the bed.
He shook his head. Her father asked him to wake her up once it's ten and help her fill the forms so she could register and begin her online classes.
When the time was ten and he realised she wasn't awake yet, he decided to give her some minutes before he walked to her.
As he moved closer to her, he couldn't help but admire her. Her lashes were long, covering her eyes well as they fitted and complimented her pointed nose.
Her lips were small with a heart shape. Her forehead creased as if she was almost awake but she wasn't. He sat down on the bed, moved his hands slowly until they were resting on her cheek.
He told himself not to but his hands weren't listening to his head. Just as he was about to touch her lips, the ones he had tasted before that put in on edge, she shook.
He removed his hands quickly before clearing his throat. "hi," he said, thinking she was awake but she wasn't.
He looked and realised she wasn't. He knew if he kept staring at her, he wouldn't do what her father had asked him to so he tapped her lightly so she could wake up.
"Miss, wake up," he said. He felt the need to call her by her name but decided not to.
After tapping her two more times, she groaned. "Fuck off! I'm tired and I need my beauty sleep!" She whined. He found it so cute that he couldn't resist the urge to smile.
"Miss, you...you have to wake up or you will wake up in the afternoon," he said, unsure of what to say to her.
"This voice sounds familiar..." She grumbled in her sleep but was yet to open her eyes.
"Yes and that's because it..." She cuts him off.
"Oh fuck off! What's your problem! I said I need to sleep. I have to get my beauty sleep and then again, tell Chris to come find me," she whined, turning to the other side as she tapped her arms.
He chuckled, she was so cute in the state and looked innocent.
"Chris is here and I'm the one speaking to you now. Come on Lily," he finally said her name and he felt a jolt of electricity down his spine.
Her name always left a feeling behind in his heart. He loved her name so much.
"Chris? Is that you?" Immediately she asked that, she jumped off the bed with her eyes wide open, glancing at every side to see if he was really the one who came.
She smiled when her eyes met him and she greeted him "Hi."
"Hi," he was. While most ladies didn't look their best when they woke up, Lily looked perfectly well. Her adorable blue eyes were gleaming and he felt his heart flutter.
She placed her palm on her mouth, "Oops! What's the time?" she asked.
"Almost eleven." He replied firmly.
"OMG! What to do? what to do? She looked around frantically unsure of what she's to do. Chris found this part of her cute. She was different.
When he first saw her in the club for the first time, his heart melted.
He could remember vividly how he became her bodyguard and had to go look for her in the club to protect her.
Her father was sure to keep him updated about the lifestyle of his daughter and how troublesome she could be. He told Chris that Lily was too much to handle and it was his job to make sure she was safe no matter the situation or consequences.
He told Chris it was his job to keep her out of danger and to watch her at all means as his enemies were increasing daily and he would use anything to bring him down and Lily was his treasure, the only person so important to him.
It wasn't hard identifying her as she looked just how she was described. She looked beautiful and his heart skipped after a long time once he met her.
But then she was in trouble, in the hands of some men. He groaned in annoyance and then again his opinion about rich heiress was proven to be true and Lily caused it.
When he saw her the next day, he expected to keep things professional between them but she started getting touchy and flirty and it started to file him up.
He felt disgusted by her actions and everything.
"Chris, what do I do? Is something burning or is my dad in trouble?" She panicked with her eyes wide open.
She mentally face palmed himself. "Nothing like that happened." He replied to her.
"Your father told me to wake you up once it is ten o'clock and you are yet to wake up so here I am doing as told." He explained.
She sighed, "Mornings are wicked!" She justified.
"It can't let someone be! It comes too early and then goes too early," she cried out.
"My back aches and my shoulder hurts and my legs ache. Argh! My life is stressful!" She complained.
Chris laughed lightly. She was so dramatic on a Monday morning complaining about all parts of her body.
"Would you like me to massage your neck for you?" He asked and she nodded her head with excitement.
He chuckled, "Okay," he said.
"Turn around," he told her and she did as told.
He placed his hands on her shoulder and began to press them lightly. Lily began to feel at ease. She loved the way he worked his hands on her shoulder, making her heart beat race faster than normal. She couldn't wait till he was hers and she was his.
She closed her eyes, enjoying his hands on her shoulder until she let out a seductive moan. "Shut!" He cursed underneath his breath.
Her moan was alluring and it turned him on. He quickly took his hands off her shoulder. "I think that's enough for now. You have to take your bath and freshen up so we can begin with your online registration."
She groaned, "I don't want to. I'm so tired!" She complained.
"Well you do not have much choice, do you?" He asked and she nodded her head.
"Now be a good girl and go inside the bathroom, take your bath, get dressed up and come downstairs so we can focus on the next thing. Will you do that for me?" He asked and she nodded her head like the obedient child she was.
While she went into the bathroom to take her bath, Chris went back downstairs to wait for her.
As Chris sat down in the small living room meant for guests while waiting for Lily, Bella came. "I see you are less busy," she said.
He turned his head slightly to look at her. "Yes I aint." He replied.
"You know you are the first," she whispered, confusing Chris.
He looked at her frantically with raised eyebrows. "First for what?" He asked.
"You know everyone who has been the bodyguard for Lily ends up leaving after a month. She's unbearable and rude and commanding and pompous." She lamented.
"I see and so?" He asked her, wanting her to explain what she really meant.
"She doesn't give a shit about others. She's selfish. She only cares about shopping, clubbing, drinking and hanging out with the same bitches that look and think just like her. She would sneak out so her guards wouldn't be able to follow her and then make her dad fire them for not doing their job properly."
"She didn't let any guards come close to her. She was also abusive. I guess she hasn't tried that with you but I do know she will soon. I mean take a look at what she did to me the other day."
Chris sighed, maybe Lily was all of that before but he wasn't sure what to say about her now. He kept quiet as he didn't know anything to say and felt the need to not say anything.
"You are really lucky. I do not know how you do it but be careful," she said.
"Thanks for your concern Bella, I'm grateful," he smiled at her and just then Lily came. She folded her arms across her chest as she saw Chris smile at Bella.
She wondered what they were discussing. She felt jealous that he was having a decent conversation with Bella and found it hard to have the same with her.
She clapped her hands, getting their attention. "I guess your work is at the kitchen and not here speaking go men and how many times to I have to tell you to not come close to Chris?" She asked, her brows raised up.
Bella's shoulder sagged, she never felt comfortable with Lily around. Lily has always been harsh and rude to her. She could remember vividly the first time she started working in the mansion and mistakenly stepped on Lily while serving the food. She remembered very well that she hadn't stepped on Lily and Lily's leg was not on the way when she walked. It was Lily who had put her legs on her path and once she stepped on her, Lily slapped her hard across the cheek.
Lily called her sort of names and threatened to fire her. She had to go on her knees to beg Lily as she knew because she really needed the job.
Her dad was in the hospital and they needed to pay his bills. The salary she would earn while working in the mansion would go a long way in helping her father's hospital bills.
She cried for days silently and that did end, Lily made sure to punish her whenever she could.
Chris looked at Lily and then at Bella. He wondered why Lily had against Bella for her to always yell at her.
"Am I speaking to a deaf and dumb? I knew bitches like you are seekers! Seekers of gold which you will never be able to attain!" She spat out making Bella flinch.
Bella was starting to hate Lily. She disliked her at first but now she is starting to hate her. Lily always found a way to embarrass her and make her remember her background which she knew well about.
"Lily, you..." Chris tried to interject but she stopped him.
"And you!" She began to walk closer to him.
"You are paid to guide me, not speak to her!" She exclaimed. She was starting to lose control and letting things get out of hand.
He looked at her with confusion. He wondered why she was so worked up. Just earlier they were fine and now she was making an issue out of nothing.
He knew she sounded too real to be true yesterday and she has started to show her real side. She was saying all of those things yesterday so he would let her into his life an d now she had proven his doubt to be true.
She would never change, she is just like every other rich heiress to him.
He felt so disappointed as he stared at her. Lily folded her arms across her chest. "I think I am asking a question?" She yelled.
She turned her attention back at Bella, "I warned you to stay away from him and yet it seems your legs won't! What is it that you want from him? You want to fuck him or what?"
