Chapter78: protection

Alex was talking with Sheebalie when he noticed Kimberly and her friends. He really wanted to see her and once he set his eyes on her, he couldn't get them off. He wanted to see if she was okay from a far. He watched her and he saw Shawn take her wrist and it seems as if something is wrong with her wrist. What happened to her wrist?

"You can go over there and talk to her."Sheebalie said and Alex didn't say anything. He kept watching as Kim and her friends ordered food then they started eating. He saw her remove her sunglasses too and he noticed that Kimberly had not looked at him for even a second except only one time. He wants her to look at him but Kimberly is ignoring him.

He saw Kimberly talk and it's like they were arguing. Then he saw her stand and looked at them. What the hell is happening. She stood up to leave and he could see she was angry.

"Heey, I'm gonna be back. I just need to check and see if she's fine." Alex said standing up.

"I just hope you will be back. We haven't talked about the matter we came to discuss and you don't care what it is."she said shrugging but Alex turned a deaf ear to what she said and followed Kimberly outside. She's more important than any of this.

"Kimberly."he called her and she stopped. His heart ache so much when he saw her in tears. 

"Are you here to shout at me again Alex?" She said in her sobs. He felt so bad when she said this and all he wanted was to reverse time in the morning. If he had any time machine he would have moved back to time so he can prevent what happened today from happening at all.

He called her the sweet name that he always calls her but she didn't even have any of it. She got in the car and left him standing there looking at her disappearing car.

"Fuck"he cursed out loud. He knew she was angry but he didn't think it's to this extent. He stayed there one more time and then he got in to listen to what Sheebalie has to say. It seems serious.

"You are back."she said looking at her drink." How did it go? Let me guess, she didn't want to know anything at all."she said and Alex looked at the table Kim's friends were but they were already gone.

"Can you go to the point. I have much less time left."he said coldly.

"I wonder who wasted the time."she said and she sat straight setting her back on the chair. Alex glared at her and she lifted her hands up in defense." Fine, we have a problem."

"We?" He arched his brows at her.

"Yes we." She said back this time serious as ever." She's your girlfriend and you might wonna protect her from what is coming."she added.

"What do you mean by protect. Is she in danger?"he asked leaning towards the table.

"Yeah, my dad visited her today. You know how he has a lot of enemies who,one, have been searching for my sister and two they know my mom. For god's sake Kimberly looks exactly like my mom so it's not that hard to differentiate between them. They have been monitoring my dad's every move and they may have seen him walk to such a strange place or even they may be curious as to why he came to New York city. It's my dad's mistake but I can't blame him. He had missed her so much he couldn't stay away any longer. I need you to have men follow her all the time. This time not from a far, up close like they trail behind her all the time. She needs a driver too. And she ......."

"Shut the fuck up Sheebalie. What nonsense are you talking about? I told you to be careful. Fuck, how the hell does your old man have a lot of enemies. How is this related to Kimberly? I warned you about this. Fuck, this is not good at all."Alex said running his hands in his hair. He can't believe that some stupid danger is around the corner and it's after the woman he loves just because his stupid family is as stupid as it is.

"It's not good at all Alex. Everything is related to Kimberly. She is the key to many things."she said

" What the fuck are you really saying. There's no way Kimberly is getting involved in your lame Mafia shit." Alex said and his head was starting to hurt when he imagined anything bad happening to his baby.

"She is already involved. I blame my stupid dad for that but he had to do it."she said.

"What do you mean. Is there something you didn't tell me. You left something didn't you?"Alex asked.

"Yes, I left something. Something more important but dangerous."she lamented sadly.

"Oh my God. What the fuck is going on? Kimberly is so pure. My baby is lovely. She doesn't deserve all this. She has gone through a lot."Alex said frustratedly.

"I know and I wish I can change everything Alex. I wish I can. Are you ready for the story."she asked and then she started narrating the story to him. By the time she was done, Alex had sighed for the millionth time that day.

"Your dad did a fucking stupid move and mistake. How can he put her in danger like that and then abandon her."he said.

"He didn't. Alex, you know the story, please don't say that."

"You think that will change what Kimberly thinks. She hates your dad so much that I think she can't care if he died. I want a meeting with him."Alex said all of a sudden.

" With who?"

"Who else? Your dad silly."

"No, Alex. I can't let you do that. I know how dangerous you are. I can't have you kill dad when he haven't even seen the rest of the people. You know what I mean right?"she said sullenly.

"You think I care, Kim will always hate him anyway and since you can't have the story revealed to her it means the status will remain the same. Even for the other one."Alex said then looked around." Pray I don't meet paths with him because I'll surely kill him."he added.

"Does she know about this side of you?" She asked.

" She doesn't need to. All she needs to know is me being me. The Alex she knows. Now, get to the fucking plan. What are we gonna do about her protection"he said drinking a gulp of water.

"Thanks God you acknowledged the we thing."she said rolling her eyes." There is no plan. All she needs is you beside her and a few bodyguards. Period."she said laughing.

"I'm not fucking with you woman. Stop being an asshole. You fucking know well that everything will alert her. She's so smart don't you forget that. She hates bodyguards and more importantly, she doesn't want to see me. How do you expect me to pull everything together?"Alex complained.

"Stop being a coward man. You can deal with her in your own ways. All you need is to tell her that he needs bodyguards because you... Well.. that's tricky. Fuck, it's not that easy."she cursed again because she couldn't think of any plan or idea.

"Just forget it, I'll deal with that myself. Your dumb head isn't working properly. How are you progressing with Kim's secretary?"Alex changed the subject. He needs to think this through himself.

"Nothing much is happening. I need to stay away from her. She is a smart ass and I can't risk everything. I need first to gain her trust. Plus right now the situation is critical, I can't have her getting into problems because of me."she said sighing.

"Whatever, I need to leave right now. My day is not good and it's affecting my work. I just need Kimberly to forgive me and everything will be fine."Alex said standing up. He didn't eat anything and neither did Sheebalie, he just ordered a glass of water.
