Thread: Trouble is her name (PatientOne x Squee)

As her hand wrapped into his he felt her pull on him so he braced his feet and helped her up, nothing new there, he'd been used as an anchor before at the most random of times and his reaction time was above the average Joe. So he adjusted quickly and removed his hand from hers once she was up on her feet. The moment she spoke a slow smile spread across his lips as he shook his head and sighed inwardly. Right out of the gate huh? Well two could play at this game. There was a small bit of information that her father had relayed to him that she seemed to be unaware of and he had a feeling it was because he knew her father so well that he trusted him enough to be able to do this. None of the other guards had been permitted to defend themselves or be too harsh with her simply because she was the Principle. In Guard terms, that meant they were the one you were most lenient with. Alex had been a huge factor in his sisters reformation from rebellious punk kid to a well respected young adult simply because he didn't take any of her shit and he fought back. Nothing was different here. So as her father spoke with her Alex pretended not to notice and didn't say a word about her comment till her father had left for his own business. The moment the male was out of both eye and ear shot he saw her reach for her robe and as she spoke there was a bit of a sarcastic tone to her voice and the smile she gave him was one that told him she was already diving head first into being a mischievous little shit. So, Alex smiled as he turned towards her and let her see his own mischievous smile as well as a sharp look in his eyes. Nothing I can't handle. I've heard how you chased off the other nine guards. However what you haven't heard and I had the privilege of hearing was that while you are my Principle, I am here to protect you by order of your father. He is the one whom hired me and he is the one paying me. That and he's a dear friend who has saved my life and many of my men's as well. This being said, if anything you do makes protecting you even the slightest bit difficult, I've been given full authority to change your mind...even if it's by force. As long as there are no long lasting affects. Which their won't be. You may be pretty pissed off for a while but that's your own problem, not mine. He said as he gave her a smile and just gave her a piece of information that let her know he was not going to be putting up with her shit like the others did. Oh, and you can drop the kind and polite act. I know you don't like me here or want me here. I don't blame you, but again. I'm not here for you. I'm here for your father. He's a friend and I trust the man. Make my job easy and don't be a spoiled brat. We'll get along great. Make my job difficult, you'll be using a lot of ice packs. Simple right? He said as he smiled a sly smile and suddenly his eyes shifted to a slightly pained look as he saw Rick talking to as well as helping his wife up the stairs while holding a bucket under her as she was obviously too drunk to do so on her own. Poor guy. He'd been stationed with their unit when his son had died. It beat him up pretty badly. His wife would have been able to pull through the loss...but the major factor was that he wasn't home to help her. He'd been thousands of miles away. That was what really dropped her into the shitter. Looking back at Mina he got a better understanding on why she was how she was. Other than Rick and probably a nanny, she had no real second parent. Neither did he but at least she knew her second parent. Alex never even met his father. Pulling out his blue tooth head set he pressed it into his ear as he'd be expecting a call here soon. He'd literally gotten off of the plane and poof, got the job. He hadn't been able to see his own family yet and thank god Rick was a sweet guy as he told his mother and sister where to come and meet him at, which was the house, so he could see them. He hadn't seen them in over three years so they were itching to see him. Also, here in about an hour, you won't need to worry about me being glued to your ass. I'm expecting company, though I can promise you that if you're even remotely rude to this company, you'll see my bad side very quickly. He said as he let a hint of aggression creep into his voice. Family and loved ones were high on his list of those to be treasured and he'd be damned if he let her be a bitch to them.
