Chapter 22 James

• Do I go after her or just watch the clock tick till she finally shows up. It won't be weird if I trail her. After all, I'm supposed to be guarding her. I'm being paid for it.
• I grab my car keys and head out. I pause right in front of my car and have a rethink. She's an adult for crying out loud. Her father doesn't even trail her movements so who am I? Arrrrghhh!!! An puts me through a lot mentally, physically, and emotionally. One minute she's caressing my chin down to my chest, the next minute she's giving me an attitude. I am a man of integrity. Asides from my abstinence till marriage principle, I respect her father too much to pounce on his daughter just because she thinks that's the perfect way to repay me.
• I lock the car and decide to take a walk around the beach. The weather is favorable tonight, I might as well just enjoy the soothing sound from the sea. There's this peace that comes with a private beach. No distractions, no children running around or naked teenagers squealing and running after each other in the name of skinny-dipping, or adults having a bonfire with music in the background. Just you, the sea, and your thoughts.
