- MILA -

Azail has been here for four days.

What i've notice is that he works out every morning.

Today i decided to join him. It was 5am currently. How he wakes up this early every day, i have no idea.

But i was willing to disturb my sleep. If it meant spending more time with him, i'll do it.

It's not like you do anything else beside being with him.

Still it was not enough. It felt like my time with him was running out. There was a weird feeling in me that all of this would end too soon.

Let's hope he'll stay here for a bit longer that necessary.

I got up from the bed, took a quick shower and brushed my teeth.

Not having time to dry my hair, i put it in a high tight bun. I put my working outfit on. Beige sports bra and black tights.

I have never worked out. A year ago i tried to do yoga, but i gave up after the second day.

Was i going to embarrass myself in-front of him? Probably.

Trying not to think out about it, i took my workout mat and went downstairs.

Azail was in the kitchen taking a bottle of water and an apple from the fruit bowl.

"Good morning." I greeted him.

He turned around, a look of surprise on his face. His eyes slowly traveled over my body and than face.

Guess what!

I blushed. It was all i did being around him. His stare always made me feel giddy. And the feeling was stronger and stronger each day.

"I decided to work out today." I showed him my working out mat. "I use to do yoga." For one day, but i wasn't gonna say that out loud.

He didn't said anything.

He probably thinks you're weird Mila. You're not giving him time to breathe. Always acting clingy.

"I'm not gonna bother you, i can work out inside if your not comfortable-"

"It's okay. You're not gonna bother me." Yess, i did a happy dance in my head.

I followed him outside. He was dressed in black shorts and tight grey t-shirt.

Hot!

My eyes traveled over his body and i noticed a small tattoo on the back of his bicep.

It was two three initials. R D M. I wonder what they mean.

I'll ask him later.

I was currently on the mat. Trying to do the Cobra pose. And i was failing.

Failing because my eyes were on Azail. Yes i was starting at him. So what? He was beautiful.

He was doing push ups. I never knew someone could look this attractive while working out.

The muscles, the veins, the sweat...

"Do you need help?" My thoughts were interrupted. I came back to reality from my day dreaming about my hot bodyguard.

"Umm...i... it's okay... i was just trying.." what was i talking about?

"You're not doing the pose right." He stood up and walked towards me.

"You have to bend your back a bit more." He said and crouched down next to me.

"Can i?" He asked. I looked at him dumbfounded.

Ohh.

"Yes you can show me." He put his one hand on my lower back and the other one on right above my breasts.

Oh God, my heart was going crazy.

"Like this?" I tried to arch my back a bit more. My voice coming out breathless. This was definitely not good for my poor heart.

His hands on my bare skin.

"You have to tilt your head back." Before i did, he wrapped his fingers around my neck and slowly tilted my head.

His eyes boring into mine. They went from my eyes to my lips.

"Is this okay?" My voice almost whisper.

"Mhmm, good girl."

And that did it for me. Hearing him say that made my stomach explode with butterflies.

We went inside after that intense moment. My legs felt like jelly thinking about it.

Did friends acted like this with each other? It felt to intimate to be just a friend thing.

I didn't really knew anything about friendships, beside the one i had with Maggie and the other bodyguards. But that was barely anything. We didn't share the same moments, like the one i share with Azail.

The way he would look at me was more intense, more intimate.

But maybe he acted like that with all of his friends. I bet he had a lot of them.

He probably had other girl friends as well. The ones who were more fun than me.

It didn't matter though, he was here now. With me. And i was gonna enjoy his company as much as i could.

Before we ate our breakfast i took a shower and i assume Azail did the same, because his hair was damp when he came back downstairs.

Maggie was here today earlier so she was the one to make our food.

When we finished with eating, i decided do some school work and then do the same thing i do every day.

Read.

Lately i could not concentrate because of a certain someone. But i wasn't able to go through with the day if i didn't read at least one page.

With the book in my hand i went outside with Azail following behind me.

I should probably go and read by the lake today. It was two minutes walk to reach there.

When i was little, dad put a small table with two chairs by the shore of the lake. We would play board games, drink tea and watch the sun set.

We sat on the chairs and i opened the book. Just as i started reading, i remember to ask Azail about his tattoo.

"Can i ask you something." I broke the silence.

"Yeah." He ran his fingers through his hair.

"Umm... that tattoo you have. On the back of your arm. The R D M initials. What do they mean. If you don't mind telling me of course." I added the last part making sure he was okay telling me about it.

He looked to be deep in thought after hearing the question.

"You know i told you about my younger brother." He answered few seconds later. "His name's Rafael. So the initials stand for Rafael De Morano."

They both had beautiful names.

"He's in a wheelchair. He had a spinal cord injury when he was ten." Ohh he was so young. Just a child.

"After i started working i helped my parents pay for his medical bills, but since i moved from home i don't really see him as much." He sighed. "I do visit him but work gets in the way sometimes." There was a sad look in his eyes.

"Rafael is lucky to have you as a brother." I gave him a reassuring smile.

"You are amazing, Azail." I told him.

His lips tugged upwards. And he finally gave me a smile.

Mission accomplished Mila. Good job.

Thankfully i found some time to write this chapter. 😅
