Chapter 10

Malachi

My wife is incredible. In early January, she threw together a reception so I could meet the rest of her family.

Her grandparents were a trip. Her grandfather, Malcolm is a tall white man with silver hair. He kind of looks like an older, taller George Clooney.

Now, her grandmother, Janet, is a strikingly beautiful, short, black woman who told me jokes all night—not grandma jokes either. These were the kind of jokes that would make my old platoon blush. I’ve never laughed so hard or so long in my life.

I found some common ground with Mallory’s father, Eddie: we’re both Broncos fans. Probably the only two in the whole state of New York.

Her mother, on the other hand, took her time warming up to me. But I managed to win her over with my mad karaoke skills. The woman loves to sing.

By Valentine’s Day, Margo has tried calling and texting me a million times. I have ignored every single one. I'm not trying to be petty, but she’s the one who’s done this. I knew exactly what she meant when she said we rushed into this, that we didn't know each other. She simply meant was that I wasn't good enough for her best friend. I didn’t say anything to Mallory because she was already so upset, but it did have me wondering for a split second if that was true. Margo couldn't even look at me when I was in the hospital. Not to mention that she only came once to see me even though she was only three hours away. I got it then and I know it now.

Margo may be right, but I’m selfish enough that I don’t care. I love Mallory more than I’ve ever loved anyone or anything, but can this last? I need to get out of my head. I pretend to work, but I’m just a glorified robot. I watch security footage all day, checking for things out of the ordinary. Eventually, my work will be more in-depth but, for now, I’m learning the basics. Security is very different from being in the military and it is taking some getting used to.

Jacob, my bodyguard buddy, is working out well for Mallory. It fucking kills me that I can't protect her myself. It irritates me even more that she needs it in the first damn place. Production of Mallory's movie has been halted until that little fuck can be located. No one has any idea where he is, and I say good riddance. Why they don't just fire him is beyond me. Even now, I watch her plugging away at a book she won't tell me about. I glance between two of my monitors at her. Her hair is up in one of those messy buns and she just has a black silk robe on. Fuck, she’s so damn beautiful and she’s all mine. I hear a little ding from her phone and her saying “shit” under her breath. The flustered look on his face is adorable.
