Opening the front door and entering. Walking back towards the kitchen area, she called out. "I made some sun tea yesterday. How does that sound?"
"Like a heaven sent gift" he said as he looked around the hallway to make sure she wasn't watching. He lowered the glasses in the large
mirror. A soft beam of light came from it, scanning his eye. It was to tell the hidden security system of the house that he was home. He
pushed the glasses back and walked into the kitchen.
Pulling the pitcher of tea from the fridge, setting it down next to the glasses, sugar jar and lemons. "You know, to bad you were not
here yesterday. You missed the excitement." she said pouring the tea after adding ice to the glasses.
"What happened?" he asked as he sat down still holding his backpack.
Passing him a glass of tea. "Well, I was going to go to the mall because they were having an amazing sale, but the stupid car wouldn't
start again. I swear I think I need to get rid of that thing."
leaning forward with her elbows on the countertop. "Anyways, I was not amused by it not working so I came inside and started shopping
online. Thank god for technology." Taking a sip of tea. "Well, about an hour later, I started get calls from my friends asking me if I was
alright. Of course I was so I asked what had happened. Evidently, some poor girl in the same type of car as mine, was leaving the mall
and got hit in the driver side by a big truck. Isn't that awful. I felt so sorry for her. I guess she is in a ICU in a hospital
somewhere." Shaking her head. "Everyone freaked when they heard. I spent hours talking to people telling them it wasn't me."
The intelligence had served him again. If she only knew the kind of people that were after her. She would never leave the house. "I am
glad that you are okay. It is to bad about the girl. So, what did you get online?" he asked, trying to steer her away from the subject. He
was the one who had disabled her car, he was the one who had made sure that she didn't drive.
"Oh. I got some great deals. Cute pair of knee high black boots. They have a five inch heel. Which will look great with the new leather
skirt." Taking her drink and moving to sit next to him. "What happened on your trip? Did you have a good time?"
He cursed in his heart, why did she have to buy stuff that made her that sexy? He dreaded the day he would have to see her in it. "Well,
yes. We took a trip down to the observatory and looked at the stars. Read about space, theories, advanced math-theories and even had a go
at string theory"
Tilting her head to the side. "Uh-huh. And that was fun for you?"
"Very exiting. They wrap your head around the fact that everything around you is small vibrating strings..." he looked at her as he took
a sip of his own tea. "I am boring you aren't I?"
"Umm..no. It's fine." giving him a slight smile even though she truly had no idea what he was talking about. He was a geek but she adored
him.
"Okay. So, what did you do today then?" he tried to focus his eyes slightly beside her. He had a hard time looking at her directly. She
was beautiful, she had his heart wrapped around her finger and he was her bodyguard. Those things should never mix.
"Just waited for you, mostly. I did laundry and cleaned also. But why does time slow down when you are expecting something or someone? It
was awful." Taking another sip then running her tongue over her lips.
"There is a saying in Sweden: The one who waits for something good, never waits too long" he caught her act with her tongue. He cursed
inside as he accidentally made the tea go down the wrong way. He started to cough violently.
Reaching around to pat his back. "Goodness, you really need to be careful. I'd be lost if something happened to you."
After a few more coughs, he managed to get some words in a coarse voice. "You will be fine without me." he gave a few more
coughs to clear his throat a little more.
Snorting at response. "You are my best friend. We've known each other all of our lives. I would not be fine."
"Ok ok. But you are more then capable of handle yourself" he said as he stroked his throat. He sighed softly.
Smiling. "So what would you like to do? Oh I bet you'd like a chance to rest." Suddenly her cell rings. Glancing at who it is, she hits
the ignore button and looks at him.
"Who was that?" he asked, ignoring her question for now.
"Oh.." looking at the phone "Just another Jerk of an ex. I swear why can't guys be more like you. You don't get jealous or think the world
revolves around you." Standing up to get more tea. Looking down, she sees one of her sandals had slipped off the back of her foot, so she
bent over and fixed it.
After getting a good view of her rear end, he leaned back on the chair so far that he fell backwards with a loud thud and sent the cup
flying through the air. He was fast enough to catch it before it hit the floor.
She spun around quickly at the noise only to see him lying on the floor, glass in hand. Unable to resist she started to giggle. "What
happened?" giggling some more. "Are you okay?"
"I slipped" that was a bad lie. He only hoped that she didn't see through it.
"Slipped? off of a chair?" walking over to him. Placing her hands on her hips looking down at him.
Oh how he hated the day he was given the task to protect her, this woman was to good looking for her own damn good and being a geek as a
cover didn't really give him much of a squeeze with the women. "Um...yeah"
Reaching down, she took the glass from him then offered a hand to help up. "Why do things always happen to you?"
"I guess I am just clumsy" he answered and accepted her hand.
Pulling him to his feet. "I don't think anyone could be as clumsy as you. I just don't buy it. Maybe if we did a makeover on you. New
wardrobe, haircut. The works. What do you think?"
"Then what? I am still a geek" he hoped she didn't do that. It would partially blow his cover, he could no longer use his geekiness as an excuse to protect her.
Sighing. "It was only a suggestion. Sheesh." Looking down at his still torn pants. "Well, we will have to replace those, at least."
Catching the bulge in his pants, she flushed as she turned away from him going back to the sink.
"I got a few extra pairs upstairs" he said passing by heading for the them.
Washing the glasses out. "Alright. Just say I never offered." Looking over her shoulder at him, then turning around.
