I sat in Sonny's office, nervously tapping my fingers on my leg as I waited for him to join me. Working for Sonny paid good money, I was just hoping this wasn't a 'your fired' meeting. Sonny's office should have been void of personal effects. Instead Michael, Morgan and Kristina were everywhere. I picked up a picture of them all as kids, they were on the beach building sandcastles. Even though Kristina was my sister I rarely talked to her, I was still mad at Alexis for giving me up for adoption. Annoyed I put the picture back and looked back at the door.

"Hey, how are you?" I heard Sonny say, I turned around to find him resting in his chair. Looking behind him I didn't see a door. So where the hell did he come from?

"I'm good, and you?" Lets get the 'how are you's' over and done with.

"Great, I know what you're thinking and you're not being let go. I'm putting you on protective detail of my wife" Sonny informed me, in the entire scenario's that ran through my mind I had never thought this would happen. I didn't even know what to say. And Sonny watched every move I made; he seemed amused by my discomfort.

"Carly..." I said softly to myself, I wasn't really used to talking around others, or even having to follow someone around all the time.

"Only wife that I have" He said.

No shit Sherlock, fuck. "When do I begin?"

"Right now, she's at home. Your job is to make sure wherever you two go that there is an exit. And that..." Sonny went on to explain the details of my promotion. And I listened, numb. Carly's reputation was bound to be an exaggeration or downplay. I would soon find out.

Carly opened the front door, and let me come through. She led me to the living room and sat down and continued watching her movie while munching on cheese puffs. While I just stood in the spot she left me. Should I sit down, where? A brilliant idea came to my mind, and I thanked the heavens for it.

"Carly, I 'm going to go talk to the other guards about the security" I could barely conceal the smile that was forming on my lips. Please don't look back at me, unfortunately she did.

Scowling she shrugged, "Okay, do what ever you can to distract your self"

I was a bit mad that she knew I didn't like her and I really didn't want to protect her. But I was too happy that I was able to leave her presence to care. For a hour and a half I talked to Max and Milo and three other guards about the exits and the schedule of the house. Talking with them was bit of a bonding moment also. Max was a tall, slightly chubby guy and he had the cutest smile money could buy. Max was nice and patient as he explained everything to me. While Milo was shier and stayed at his post not ignoring me but he wasn't greeting me with open arms.

When I came back into the house Carly was on the couch talking to a tall, blond man. He must have come through another door; they should have told me that she had company. Anyone was possible of harm. I full entered the room and sat down on the couch opposite them.

I yawned, brushed my hair back and checked my Blackberry. One text from Maxie. I didn't know much about Maxie except that she was obsessed with fashion. She had raided my closet a few months back throwing half of my clothes out while mumbling "In. out...in. out...definitely out" The blond was nice enough, when she was getting her way. I would hate to see her mad.

"Samantha?" Carly called me, I exited out of the text I was writing to Maxie and looked up. "This is Jason, Jason this is Sam. Sonny assigned her to be my body guard"

Jason and I locked eyes for what seemed hours, my mouth dried. . Jason was unbelievably good looking. From his electrifying eyes down to what I could imagine were well defined legs. Almost immediately I was hooked. More like I wanted to jump his bones but I couldn't bare having sex with my boss's right hand man. From Jason's eyes I could see that he was thinking the same as I. My tongue darted out, leaving a wet sheen on my bottom lip and he watched this action with smoldering eyes. I was the first to look away, I averted my attention back to my phone. Texting Maxie about the fashion show she wanted me to attend.

"Hi Jason" I said politely, and I blushed when I realized my voice came out sounding like a sex operator.

"Hello Sam..." It sounded like he wanted to say more but with a sidelong glance to Carly he trailed off.

The tension that built through the room had my beads of sweat producing on my forehead. My knees shook and vivid images of Jason naked rolled all around my head. Sam you just met him, not two minutes ago! Calm down! I thought. Maybe I was acting this way because I hadn't had sex in two years. What can I say; I had begun being picky who was aloud in my bed. Respecting my self and all of that. Raising my self esteem and believing that I was a beautiful person, inside and out.

Morgan descended down the stairs and ran to Jason. Hugging him while he sat, "Hey Jason, when did you get here?"

"Not too long ago, did you ever beat that game I brought you?" Jason's eyes brightened as he talked to Morgan.

"Yeah, I completed it the first day I got it!" The little boy boasted.

Jason mussed his hair with his hand, "Oh you're that good are you?"

Morgan nodded his hair flopping up and down, "That's right even Michael couldn't beat me and I played with the lowest rated fighter on the K.V.O!"

Michael came around the corner with a mischievous smile, "Are you talking trash Morgan, because it's the weekend and I don't have anything to do..."

Morgan raised his chin, "You calling me out?"

Michael nodded, "Scared?"

"Ha! I can beat you with a-" He broke off and ran for the stairs, Michael ran after him. They both laughed and pushed each other back trying to get to the game first so they can pick the better characters.

"Samantha where did you get those jeans, I love them."

I peered over my cell phone at Carly, trying to figure out if she was being sincere or a bitch. The smile showed that she was being honest, she liked my True Religion's "I ordered them online, I can get you a pair if you like" I offered, maybe shopping will give Carly and I a bond. I could even invite Maxie.

"Thank you" Carly said astonished. She gave me an even more thoughtful stare, that promised many things. Please let it be good ones.
