Chapter 13

Kayla

I slept in on Monday morning, and when the sunlight peeked through the blinds on my window, I rolled over in bed and thought about the previous night. I enjoyed working late at night, but sometimes it took a lot out of me. A smile tugged at my lips when Troy came to mind. Last night was the first time we’d hung out together and talked about topics not having to do with my case. It was nice. Really nice, in fact. My stomach fluttered thinking about the way he’d smiled when I threw those phone numbers away.

I had the slightest suspicion that he liked me as more than just a client. When I’d teased him about it, the look on his face was telling. Still, I had to be careful I wasn’t seeing things that weren’t there. I wanted more than friendship, but that didn’t mean he was ready and willing to make that happen, especially considering the no-fraternization policy his company enforced. As long as he was my bodyguard, we had to keep our relationship professional.

Today was his day off, and I’d already told him I didn’t need the other man’s services as I planned on staying home. I’d been doing that each time he had a day off, mainly because I’d grown accustomed to Troy and didn’t want to deal with another guy.

My mind immediately jumped to the Robert situation, and I groaned. Troy was right. He was starting to become a little too controlling. I knew he meant well, but he’d stepped over the line last night when he called to say I was out too late. He was insecure about Troy, but that was no excuse, and I needed to let him know I didn’t want him to track my phone anymore. I just had to figure out a way to do it without offending him.

I got out of bed and made myself a cup of coffee and then cooked a quick breakfast of toast and bacon. As I sat at the table and ate, I contemplated how to handle Robert. The biggest issue right now was his paying for my bodyguard services.

Lord, what do I do? I don’t have the money to pay for this on my own.

As soon as I’d lifted the prayer up to the Lord, I knew what had to be done. I had to find a way to pay or discontinue services altogether. Nothing serious had happened since Troy started guarding me, which meant Robert and I had probably overreacted. It was nice having the extra security, but it didn’t seem like I needed it anymore. The police still hadn’t found the guy who attacked me in the parking lot after the concert, and he seemed to have disappeared. At least he hadn’t tried to hurt me again.

The call I’d received from the man who’d said, ‘You don’t have a prayer,’ was concerning. Just thinking about it sent a wave of anxiety through me. Made me nauseous and brought back all sorts of memories.
