"Woah! What are you doing?"
We simultaneously turn to look at the guest standing in the doorway.
"You should have locked the door." He smirks as his red-pink eyes hover between Panda and I.
Pan's ears tint red as he glares, "Wade Rider! What are you doing here?"
"Is that how you greet your saviour?" Wade grins, crossing his arms as he leans against the door frame.
"Tin rescued me. How are you my saviour?" Pan asks.
Wade glances at me, "You didn't tell him?"
I shake my head, "I didn't have a chance to."
He clicks his tongue, "I helped Tin bring you back. You couldn't even sit upright on the motorbike."
As Pan moves slightly, I feel something poke between my legs and stare at him in horror. I forgot for a moment that he is still nude. Is it normal for male friends to see each
My arms ache as I carry the countless bags. Liana seems to enjoy shopping. She brought Pan and I along with her but instead of being a bodyguard, I am being used as a human bag carrier. "Liana, are you sure you still need to go to another shop?" Pan asks wearily, glancing behind at me. "Yes. I promise it's the last one." Liana turns her head to look at me, "Sorry Tin." I smile tiredly, "It's fine. I'll manage." She tucks her blonde hair behind her ears as she walks in front of me with her brother. What is so enjoyable about shopping? I usually just get the cheapest top I find. Rich people sure are different. As we enter the last shop, my eyes glance around. There are actually decent clothes here. Liana excitedly heads to the dress section and calls me over. "Tin, leave the bags with Pan and help me check which dress looks good on me."&
Sure enough, Wade Rider is already outside when we arrive. Liana hurriedly gestures for me to enter through the back and I nod and head around the other side of the mansion. I manage to climb up to my bedroom balcony. Fortunately, the door isn't locked and I can easily slide myself inside. Liana should be making an excuse for me right now. I gasp as I hear footsteps and loud voices approach my room. Is he suspecting something? "Are you sure Tin is out with his girlfriend? He didn't say anything about a girlfriend to me." Wade's voice says. "Yes, he rang to tell me he is on a date." Liana lies. "Fine. Let me ring him." Wade says. No!" Liana says quickly and I hear some shuffling outside my door. "Dude, why don't you call it a day and leave? We're tired after shopping all day." Pan's voice says. "P
"Fine. But you can't sleep on the bed." Is what I said but why the hell is he lying next to me?! I forgot about his sleep-walking habits. He somehow moved from the floor to the bed whilst I was asleep. As his arms hug me tighter against him, I try not to slap his hands off me. Why do I always end up in weird situations with this guy? "Don't leave me Tin..." He whimpers in his sleep. Is he dreaming about me? He must be scared that I'll leave. "You're a difficult person but I won't leave you again." I promise as I gently touch his hands. Is the darkness making me weak? *** I wake up to the feel of something soft against my mouth. Flicking my eyelids open, my eyes widen at Panda King in front of me. He is still asleep but his lips are pressed on mine. How many times have we accidentally kissed now? I'
"Tina, are you free this weekend?" My mother asks from the other side of the phone call. "I'll check. Why Mum?" I ask curiously. It's strange for her to call me and ask if I'm free. Is she planning something? "It's nothing. Just a friend of mine is holding a small party and wants me to bring you along." Mum explains vaguely. I frown. Why does she want me to go? "You can take Mint instead." I say. Knowing Panda, I doubt he will let me leave my duties. "My friend last saw you when you were a baby and she's excited to see how you've grown up. Please Tina. Do it for me darling?" Mum pleads. She's using that desperate voice which she knows I can never refuse. "Fine Mum." I sigh in defeat. "I'll come home on Saturday." "That's all. Thank you darling." She sounds cheerful and a little too excited. What is she planning now?
"Pretty Lady, would you mind if I join you?" Reflexively glancing at the voice, my eyes widen in shock and panic. "W-what at are you doing here?!" I gasp. It's too late for me to escape. "I should be asking you that Tin." He stares at me intensely, "Why are you...this?" He asks gesturing at my clothes and face. Damn it! I was too confident in thinking no one will know me here. "Don't tell anyone." I hiss, as I gesture for him to sit. "Or I will kill you." "Don't worry, I know you probably have your reasons right?" He says as he sits opposite me. I nod. "Actually, my mum planned to have me dressed like this today." "But now that I see you like this, you're definitely a girl. No wonder, I always felt you were too feminine." He says with a nod. "Wade Rider, don't you dare tell
I end up leaving the party early and Mum isn't pleased at all when I head out without her. Did I overthink? Maybe she didn't plan anything. Even if she did, meeting both Wade Rider and Panda King when I am dressed like this is the worst thing that could happen. My head is slightly hurting after being exposed to the loud music, dancing and drinks. We came in a taxi so I'll have to call another one to get home. It's still early and Mum will probably take longer so I can walk around for a while and clear my head. I'm still hungry after eating a lot of the snacks. Maybe the dancing made me burn it off. Walking out of the gates and onto the street, I check on my phone for the nearest shop. It's fifteen minutes away. Following the map on my phone, I walk down. The street lamps are on already, illuminating the dark streets. As I continue on my way, loud voices distract me. Listening carefully,
"Tina, come out and talk to me." I groan and stand up. "Why Mum? There's nothing to tell you." "You didn't even wait to meet Bryan." She says through the door. Bryan? "Who?" I ask in confusion and open the door. She walks inside my room and sits down on the bed. "Aunt Camellia's son. He was looking forward to meeting you." I roll my eyes, "So that was your plan. You wanted me to meet him." "I know my daughter is clever." She smiles happily. "Well, I had other things on so I had to leave. Anyway, I'll be going back tomorrow morning Mum." I say. "You and Liana must be close." She smiles. "Huh?" "Does she have a brother? Maybe I should try to set you up with–" She drifts off into her dream world.
As I get ready to go to the beach, I grin. Shall I ask Ciarra to come along? She mentioned that she has recently moved here so she doesn't know many people. And this will help Panda to get used to women so he can overcome his phobia.It's only been a day since we met but Ciarra doesn't seem like someone who would lie. She wants to be friends doesn't she? This is a great opportunity for me to get myself another friend.I frown. How should I explain my male persona to her?Texting her, she immediately replies to tell me she is free.Panda will refuse if I ask him directly. We will just meet up at the beach."Are you ready?" He asks as he picks up a backpack."Yes, let's go." I smile happily."You seem excited." Pan says, watching me."I'm not." I say nonchalantly.***
...And that's a wrap! Thank you to every person who clicked on this story and stuck with me through to the end. It's been a long journey and I honestly never thought I would get more than five readers when I first began writing His Bodyguard. I wasn't sure how or if I would be able to complete it but knowing that there are people out here who are giving me a chance and giving my story a chance, it really motivated me. There were times where I wondered whether I should stop, but your comments, votes and reads helped me buckle up and continue. Thank you for all the votes and comments. I really appreciate them. This story has now reached its ending but stay tuned for more of my stories in the near future. May you all find the happiness you deserve.
Heart racing and my hands shaking with nervousness, I stand up. The mirror is a long floor length and my white gown flows down my body like a waterfall. The lacy neck adds a touch of elegance to the dress and the trail is shorter than the regular wedding dress' since I want to make sure I don't accidentally trip whilst I walk. As Liana turns around and puts the makeup and hair styling tools back into her bag, I pace around, trying to calm my nerves. "Tina, are you still nervous? Don't worry, everything will be fine. I'll look after baby Carl when you walk down the aisle." Liana says, patting my shoulder comfortingly. Panda and I finally decided on a name for our baby because the parents kept scolding us for calling our son "Cub". Thus, he is now named Carl Martin King. I smile at her, "Thank you. I don't even know why I am so nervous." I admit. I haven't been feeling well since last night. It must be what the
Sleeping in the same room as Panda King feels different. It's different from all the times in the past when I was "Tin" and it's different from the night at the island. My nerves are everywhere as he wraps his arm around me and hugs me to him as I lie on my side. Cub is sleeping in his Moses basket which my father already prepared for him. I am surprised how easily my dad accepted my baby and Panda. I thought he would continue with his cold, stern father charade for longer. "You're not asleep yet are you?" He asks quietly. I close my eyes and pretend to sleep. I feel him moving his body even closer, his warmth against my back. "I know you can't sleep." He whispers into my ear, causing my body to shiver. I try to stay still but he gently turns me over until we are facing each other. "Open your eyes or I will kiss you." He teases. Damn it! Not
Once the doctor has made sure that I am fine, Panda holds my hand and takes me to the Neonatal ward. The nurse gently picks up a sleeping Cub and hands him over to me. It feels both wonderful and fascinating as I feel my child in my arms."It's best to feed him your own breast milk for the first year, then he can be weaned onto baby food later." She explains as my eyes are still fixated on him.I nod absentmindedly, too busy gazing at this cute baby. "Yes.""Thank you for taking care of Cu-our son." Panda says with a smile. He wraps his arm softly around my waist and gently manoeuvres me out of the room."He is so cute." I say quietly, touching Cub's soft hair."Just like his dad." Panda grins.I chuckle, "No way, he obviously takes after his mum.""Of course. His mother is the most beautiful woman." Panda hugs me to him. "I'm glad
With my face damp, I wake up. Did I have a nightmare again? Why is my body hurting? Sitting up slowly, I glance around. I am not in my room. My hand has a familiar drip injected inside. Why am I in the hospital again? Touching my bump, I gasp. Why does it feel so light? Where is my baby?! Crying as thoughts cloud my mind, I hurriedly pull off the drip from my hand and climb out of the hospital bed, ignoring the pain in my stomach. The door suddenly opens as I run towards it and an exhausted looking Panda King stares at me with wide eyes. I run pass him, trying to leave the room so I can find a doctor and find out what is happening. I am so confused. "Tina! Tina, please calm down." Panda says as he holds me in his arms, preventing me from leaving. He worriedly holds my hand. "You're bleeding. Please listen to me Tina and sit down. Let me sort your hand out." My body feels cold as I stare
Seeing Panda King via video call does not satisfy my heart. I miss being with him but to carry out our plan and get the evidence from Ciarra Lake, I have to sacrifice my time with Panda.Of course Hans is still angry about me going to see Panda but he has started talking to me again. I returned home and lied to my dad about having some gastric issue. I still can't tell him I am pregnant.I don't meet Panda for a few weeks. It's a day where I am uselessly lounging around the house when Panda video calls me. Smiling happily, I accept the call and gaze at his handsome face.He looks extremely excited about something as he grins widely. "I've done it Tina!"Confused, I raise my eyebrows, "Done what?""I finally got hold of the evidence Ciarra had. I have gathered all the CCTV footage from the house too. The kitchen footage is pretty interesting." He says.I
"Pan, is Ciarra really your wife now?" His sister Liana King asks as she pushes her blonde hair back. Liana has been worried lately. Ever since the ruined wedding, Ciarra Lake insisted and demanded to move into Panda King's mansion and live as his wife.Panda shrugs at his sister, "In her dreams.""You don't care for her, not even a little?" Liana asks curiously as she drinks the milk."No. I only love..." Panda hesitates. Will Liana get upset if Panda tells her the truth about Tin being a woman? He knows his sister has a crush on "him"."Who?" Liana asks with wide eyes. "Come on Pan, tell me." She begs."Someone." Panda says mysteriously. He doesn't want to upset his younger sister. She will find out soon anyway."What are you guys talking about? Shall we eat together?" Ciarra's annoyingly cheery voice says as she walks into the kitchen.
The dreaded day finally arrives where I have to leave Panda King. I shouldn't be feeling this unhappy and upset given that this is all my plan and Panda is helping me by willingly sacrificing himself. All the way through the ferry ride back to the mainland, I had held hands with Panda and slept on his shoulder, afraid of when I will be able to be this close to him again."Don't cry Tina." Panda hugs me to him as my tears fall out of my eyes. "It won't take long. I'll come to get you soon."I wrap my arms around his back and cry into his chest. Why does this man have the power to weaken me so easily?"It feels like a dream." I mumble against him, "The island.""Don't worry about me," Panda pats my back in comfort, "I'll get the evidence and put her behind bars.""Come back to me quickly." I say through tears, "If you don't hurry back, I might decide to get married to Hans."
TW: Slightly 18+ Content _____________________________ After staying at the island with Panda King for a few days, I have discovered that he has learnt new skills and improved himself into a better man than which I had thought. "Open your mouth love." He says gently as he holds the spoon out towards my mouth. I stare at him incredulously, "I'm not ill Pan, I can eat by myself." He shakes his head, "I have to take extra care of you right now. What would I do if you got hurt? Just let me feed you." Staring at the bowl of soup in his hand, I warily ask, "Is it edible?" "Of course it is! You don't know how long I practiced cooking after you left. I can make a decent meal now." He puts the spoon of soup into my mouth as I obediently eat. "Of course not as good as you love." I blush as he feeds me. I am stil
