BRIENNE

I had no luck, or maybe it was a punishment. Or maybe I'm being tested to see if I could continue in this line of work after what has happened. Whatever the reason, this request would be torture. Being Jaime Lannister's bodyguard is going to be a huge test of patience.

She was waiting by the car to her 'protégé' designed to appear and reach the airport on time to board. But there she was, almost an hour after the scheduled time and he had decided not to show up, there was no call, nothing. She was about to give up and call when he appeared before her, all smiles, a couple of sports bags and a suitcase.

"Wow, is it you who my father sent to protect me?" He said, as she had had imagined. Arrogant and stupid with a perpetual smile on his face.

"Yes, I am your bodyguard, Brienne," Brienne reached out to greet him, but Jaime ignored her and stared.

"You're a woman?" He said with a mocking expression.

"Shall we go? If you miss the plane…" Jaime looked at her up and down and Brienne, instinctively, looked at herself for if there was something wrong with her or her suit.

"Not if you're dressed like that," Brienne didn't understand. What was wrong with her uniform? When she didn't react Jaime continued, "If I'm going to bring you with me everywhere you can't come up looking like a bodyguard, you know anything about going incognito?"

Brienne turned to look at him. The truth is that her uniform was obvious that she was a bodyguard and could draw attention. Seeing it as something logical, she agreed to change.

"We will pass by my apartment, I'll change and we can go to the airport."

"All right wench," Jaime opened the trunk and brought the suitcase and bags.

"My name is Brienne, not wench."

"As you wish, Brienne," He closed the trunk and started to get into the car by the passenger side. With the door open and before entering he turned to Brienne, "Shall we go? …" He paused and added with a wicked smile, "Wench?"

And then is when Brienne realized that this trip wouldn't only be a torture, this would be a test to see if she would be able to protect even the most despicable human being.

Because Jaime Lannister was the most despicable, and there he was, honouring to his reputation. As though he knew anything about honour.

Summoning all her self control, she ignored Jaime and got in the car, while he did the same.

All she wanted was for him to be quiet, the silence would be very welcome, but that was not an option because Jaime had decided to keep talking, even when she deliberately ignored him.
After ten minutes in which Jaime asked the most varied questions about her, most of which were about her sex life, or more specifically the non-existent sex life. Receiving no answer, Jaime stopped. But of course that did not last long.

"You're as boring as you are ugly," He said, buy luckily they had arrived at her apartment, Brienne braked sharply, "You want to kill me, wench?" The smile was gone from Jaime's face and he seemed angry.

"Wait here while I change," Brienne got out of the car to find that Jaime was also out.

"You're going to leave me here? That's how you supposed to protect me?"

She had been trying to ignore his presence all this time that Brienne had completely forgotten that she was here to protect him.

"Okay, come with me, but don't touch anything," Brienne walked to her apartment followed closely by Jaime and his not so funny comments
