Thread: Safe & Sound [Merc & zPrimal]

There was not much one could do about another's emotions short of overwhelming them with another. You'll be fine with us, he insisted, knowing that anything else he could say would seem pretentious. Of course. He nodded when she expressed her desire to return to her hotel. We'll have the driver meet us at the entrance. Make sure you've got your belongings in the meantime. A hand slid to his ear as he relayed a set of instructions and information to the team. Let's go, He gestured for her to follow not a minute later when the other bodyguards were to return to their own lodging save for another. It was late in the afternoon when they emerged from the cooled interior of the studio, a hot gust of wind tugging at the earpiece he wore. Luckily, their ride was already there and they took up the back seats, the front passenger seat occupied by another female staff who gave the directions to the hotel. He kept silent for the duration of the journey, he did not know his client that well yet and it was preferable to remained silent than opening ones mouth and sounding like a complete fool. Their vehicle rolled up to the sheltered front porch of the hotel where they entered the air conditioned foyer, both him and the lady with luggages in tow. He led the way to the lift and had Kekoa to scan her keycard against the sensor, and up they went. It would seem that she was willing to cooperate, unlike other stars which would be more trouble for their security detail, something he could be thankful about. The suite had two bedrooms each with their respective bathrooms. With cream coloured walls and soft colour tones, the first was Kekoa's who had already settled in, basically the largest room with a king sized bed for herself. On the opposite of the living room was the second bedroom with two twin beds. A wooden terrace spanned the length of the suite, from one bedroom to the other, with an infinity pool as well as sun loungers placed for the inhabitants use. Once they were in the perceived safety of the suite, she had no reason to follow any instructions and returned to her room. Likewise, he did the same and unpacked the next day's clothing, since they were only expected to stay a day before leaving for her tour. He stopped to look across the living room when she emerged in a striped bikini. He could not help but admire her form for a second, lingering on her nubile curves before catching himself. Oh, we do have something else to wear. We don't want to be too obvious to the cameras that we are bodyguards. Today was special because we were meeting you for the first time. His female coworker was nowhere to be seen, probably in the corner of the living room setting up her laptop. If you're going to the pool, then I'll be right down with you. Give me a minute to get ready. He shut the door and got dressed in grey swimming trunks and a light cyan shirt. A pair of cycling sunglasses hung from his collar. Once they were back out in the late afternoon heat, he flipped the audio system on, allowing for some white noise from the radio station. There were scented towels folded upon each of the chairs along the wooden balcony and he set one aside to take a seat in the reclining chair, his eyes shielded by his sunglasses. The sliding glass door behind them was shut and curtains drawn to block the sun, separating them from his coworker. It was only about five minutes as he sat there when he asked, I was just wondering, Kekoa. Do you have any plans during your trip? For example, do you expect to host a party with friends or anything of the sort? I'm asking because I want to be able to protect you while allowing you to enjoy yourself.
