Chapter 7: Family Reunion and Stories

The Kardashian Jenner household was once again in high spirits, this time for a family dinner. The mood was light and cheerful, with Kendall's sisters preparing for an evening of good conversation and laughter. The house was elegantly decorated, with well-set tables and a mix of delicious aromas coming from the kitchen.

Thomas arrived early, as usual, to make sure everything was in order and that the family's safety was guaranteed. Kendall was in one of the bedrooms, getting ready for the event. When she finally came down, she was radiant in an elegant dress that highlighted her sophisticated style. Thomas followed her closely, his posture always alert but discreet.

As soon as they entered the main room, all of Kendall's sisters were there to welcome them. Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Kylie were in the middle of an animated conversation about the details of the family's upcoming event. Upon seeing Kendall and Thomas enter, they all stopped and turned, their expressions lighting up with smiles.

— Kendall, you're here! — Kim exclaimed, giving her a tight hug. — And this is Thomas, right? Great to see you again!

— Hi, Kim — Kendall replied, hugging her sister. — Yes, this is Thomas. And as you can see, he's more than just a security guard.

Kourtney, who was standing next to Kim, also approached to greet Thomas.

— Hi, Thomas! — Kourtney said with a smile. — Kendall told us about what happened in New York. You did a great job.

— Thanks, Kourtney. — Thomas replied with a modest smile. — I was just doing my job.

Khloe, who was sitting on the couch with Kylie, stood up to greet Thomas.

— Hey, Thomas! We didn't have much time to talk last time. — Khloe said, in a friendly tone. — Kendall already told us a few things about you, but we want to know more. Come sit down with us!

Kylie, who was next to Khloe, nodded enthusiastically.

"Yes, we want to know more about your background and how you ended up working with Kendall. Please have a seat."

Thomas settled down on the couch next to his sisters, while Kendall sat down next to him. The sisters were eager to hear more about Thomas's career, since he had been reserved about it the last time.

"So, Thomas," Kim began curiously. "You were in the Navy SEALs, right? That must have been an incredible experience. We can't help but hear more about it!"

Thomas smiled, enjoying his sisters' genuine interest.

"Yes, I served in DEVGRU, which is one of the United States Navy's special operations units. I was trained to deal with a variety of complex and challenging situations," he began, his tone mixing pride and humility.

"Wow!" Khloe exclaimed. "That must have been intense. And how did you end up working with Kendall?"

"Well, after I left the Navy, I started working in private security. Highly skilled security is in high demand, and Kendall needed someone with a solid background to protect her. And here I am."

"You must have some interesting stories to tell," Kylie said, her eyes shining with curiosity. "Do you have any pictures or anything you can share?"

Thomas thought for a moment, then pulled his phone out of his pocket. He began to scroll through the photos until he found a few he thought would be appropriate to show. The sisters were eager, moving a little closer to get a better look.

"Here's a picture of me at a special event," Thomas said, showing a picture of him in a smart white evening suit. He was receiving a medal from President Obama. The photo captured the moment perfectly, showing Thomas in a position of honor as he was presented with the Navy Cross.

Kim and Khloe both let out a small squeal of admiration.

"Wow!" Kim said. "That's amazing." You have a picture with the President of the United States!

"Yes, it was a very meaningful moment," Thomas explained. "The Navy Cross is one of the highest honors a military member can receive. It was a great honor."

The sisters began to make playful comments.

"Now I understand why Kendall is so protected," Khloe joked. "A man in uniform is always charming."

"I agree," Kylie said, winking at Thomas. "I'm a big fan of a man who knows how to dress."

Thomas laughed at the lightness of the conversation and the sisters' relaxed manner.

"I appreciate the compliments. But really, I would prefer the focus to always be on the safety and security that I can provide."

Kourtney, who had been listening intently, leaned a little closer to Thomas.

"And how do you feel about working with Kendall? It must be a huge change from what you were used to in the Navy."

Thomas smiled, thinking about the answer.

— Working with Kendall has been a rewarding experience. Although the environments are different, the mission remains the same. And of course, it's great to work with someone so professional and dedicated.

As the conversation continued, Kendall's children began to approach, drawn by Thomas' presence and curiosity about his stories. Kim's children, North and Saint, and Khloe's daughter, True, were especially interested.

"Hey, Thomas, can you tell us more about the missions?" North asked, her eyes wide with anticipation.

Thomas smiled at the little girl.

"Well, North, I can't tell you all the details, but I can tell you that a lot of my missions involved protecting important people and solving problems in complicated situations. Sometimes that meant going to dangerous places, but always knowing that we were doing the right thing."

Saint looked at Thomas with admiration.

"That's really cool! Do you have any stories about when you had to save someone?"

Thomas paused and thought of a story that would be appropriate for children.

— Well, I once had to protect a team of diplomats in a country where there was a lot of tension. 

We had to make sure they could do their job without worrying about their safety. It was challenging, but in the end, everything went well and they were able to complete the mission successfully.

The children seemed enthralled by the story, and Thomas continued to talk about his experiences in a way that was accessible and interesting to them. The atmosphere was cheerful and relaxed, with everyone feeling at ease.

As the evening wore on and dinner was served, the sisters continued to chat and joke with Thomas. The mood at the table was relaxed, and everyone was engaged in lively conversation, laughing and enjoying each other's company.

Thomas, who was normally reserved, found himself enjoying himself more than he had expected. The interaction with the children and the warm welcome from the Jenner sisters made him feel more at ease, and he realized that although his job was serious and demanding, these moments of relaxation and connection were important and valuable.

At the end of the night, as everyone was saying their goodbyes, Kendall approached Thomas with a grateful smile.

"Thank you for making the night so special. The girls loved hearing about your career and seeing your more relaxed side," Kendall said.

Thomas smiled, pleased with how the night had turned out.

"I'm glad it turned out this way. I appreciate the opportunity to be here and get to know your family better. They're amazing."

As Kendall and Thomas walked out of the house, he reflected on the importance of his role not only as a security guard, but also as someone who was a part of Kendall's life in a more personal and meaningful way. The night had been a reminder that, despite his highly specialized and often isolating job, moments like these were precious and helped build lasting bonds.
