Every day that week we ate lunch with Abe Mazur. Every day he would bring me a different colored Rose. Tuesday was a red Rose, Wednesday was yellow, Thursday was white, and now on Friday he was holding a pink one. I smiled to myself as we walked into the dining hall and saw him waiting there for me. We walked in and I had to consciously remind myself that I was a Guardian, and I needed to pay attention to my surroundings. I scan the dining hall for danger, and relax when I find none. We continue towards the lunch line to get our food. I silently thank whatever God is listening that Isabella hasn't made any good friends that she would rather eat lunch with. Abe is smiling by the time we finally make it to the table we have been occupying this week. "Good afternoon Guardian Hathaway, Isabella"
"Abe" Isabella greets him with a smile.
"Mr. Mazur." I say, knowing he hates when I'm all formal with him. He just smiles at me.
"Why Janine, you look nice today" He gives me his patented flirtatious smile. "it's Friday night, do you have any plans?" He asks me.
"Nope, just going to stay home and do my homework. You know. That stuff that teachers give out, that you have to do if you want to pass." I smile innocently at him.
"I know what homework is darling. I also know you have all weekend to do it. Why don't you put it off until tomorrow, and come out with me tonight?" He gives me a charmingly cute smile.
"In case you have forgotten Mr. Mazur, I am a Guardian, which means I have a Moroi to protect. Protecting her is a full time job, and I do not have time to spend gallivanting around town with you." I actually had weekends off, but there was no way in hell I was telling him that. I would have loved to go out with him, but it was just so ingrained in us that Moroi were to be protected, not viewed as possible dates! I had to stay home this weekend anyway, the whole family was going out of town for some kind of Royal wedding, and I said I would watch the house, sense it was my weekend off. I was really lucky, I don't know how I would have dealt with a Royal function. They just plain get on my nerves!
"Actually, this is her weekend off" Isabella put in. I turned to glare at her. She was not making this easy for me.
"See, your Moroi is not under your protection tonight, you have plenty of time to spend with me." He grins at having caught me in my lie. I suppress a groan. How am I going to get out of this one?
"Well you see, my family is going out of town this weekend, so Janine is spending the weekend home alone" Seriously, could she stop digging my hole! "She hasn't really done much sense coming here, maybe you could show her around" Isabella sounds excited at the idea, obviously thinking she is doing me a favor. She frowns whens he sees my face. "Really Janine, even you need to have a little fun!" She puts in before giving Abe directions to our house. He smiles, as if he has won the lottery.
"I'll pick you up at eight" He tells me, before getting up and leaving, with Jordan trailing silently behind him. I look to Isabella who just smiles at me.
"Come on, we both know you wanted to go out with him" Izzy says. She was right but I still didn't want to admit it. "This is the perfect opportunity. You have the whole weekend off, and the house to yourself..." she trails off suggestively.
"I don't think it would be wise for me to get involved with a man like Ibraham Mazur" I tell her honestly. I had known the boy for less than a week and already he was such a big part of my life. I can not count the number of times a day I caught myself thinking about him.
"Being a teenager isn't about doing what's smart, it's about having fun, and doing what makes you happy, because you are only young once. Being a Guardian you have dedicated your life to serving others, and you should take the happiness that comes along while you can, you never know when an opportunity like this will come along again" She smiles at me sweetly. I really did like her a lot more than I thought I would. "Now while you think of that, lets get to Biology." I followed her out, considering what she said.
"Izzy, can I ask you something?" She nods. "What am I supposed to wear?!" She just chuckles.
"Don't worry, I will help you get ready before we leave!" At the excitement in those words I can't help thinking I might have made a grave mistake!
"You want me to go out in public like this?!" I asked Izzy. She had dressed me in a black dress of hers, which means I was practically pouring out of it. She was a Moroi, and my chest was quite a bit bigger than hers.
"Yes I most certainly do. You look amazing. I wish I could fill that dress out that well" She says with a sigh. The dress was small, and black. It had a V neck and cut down into my cleavage, tied just under my breasts and then flowed down loosely to just above my knee. I had to admit, it looked killer on me, but I still couldn't believe she wanted me to wear it in public.
"What if I fall, or bend over, I am going to flash the whole world!" I cry. She just giggles.
"You won't fall, you are too graceful, and if you drop something either wait for him to pick it up or bend over like this" She bends her knee's keeping her legs together and does a sort of closed leg squat thing. "See no flashing going on here" She giggles again. "Now time for shoes" she says excitedly. After that we argue for a while, me having to talk her out of heels, we finally agree on a cute pair of black ballet flats. At least this way I would, hopefully, not fall down.
After we agreed on shoes, she spent an hour doing my make up. I tried to tell her it was unnecessary, but trying to dissuade her was like pushing on a brick wall. So I just sat still, and hoped it would be over soon. I assured myself that if it looked too bad that I could wash it off after she left. As it turns out, I didn't need to wash it off. I was very surprised, I looked really nice. If I hadn't been sitting here so long, I wouldn't have known I was much make up at all.
"You have such nice skin" Isabella was telling me "so I used all natural stuff. It's a nice color too. Anyway, I think that should about do it. I think you're ready." She tells me, excitement clear in her voice. I can't believe she did all this for me. I have never had anyone care so much about me, anyone to want me to be happy so badly. I can't help it, I pull her into a hug.
"Thank you" I whisper in her ear.
"No, thank you. I know everything you're giving up to protect me, I just hope I help you have some happiness." She tells me sincerely. She pulls back and looks me over again. "He's not going to know what hit him" She says, and we both giggle. Her father is calling her from downstairs so we make our way down there. Everyone is ready to leave, they were just waiting on her. When we walk in, I swear everyone's draw's dropped. "I know, I do good work" Izzy says, and everyone laughs.
"I knew you were hott, but damn" Steven says. I suppress a gag. He has made it very clear sense I have been here what he thinks of my looks, and body. I am not going to miss him this weekend. I give him a glare before turning back to everyone else.
"You look beautiful dear." Mrs. Badica says. Her husband nods beside her.
"Thank you. She really does do good work. Have a wonderful weekend." I tell them all.
"You too, have a nice date" Isabella smiles at me, pulling me in for another hug.
"Stay safe." I whisper in her ear.
"Always" She whispers back. She pulls away and goes to join her family in the car. Now there are only Guardians left in the house. They all wish me a good weekend before leaving. Steven is the last one out. He stops on his way past me and looks me up and down.
"He's a lucky guy" He tells me, running a hand up my bare arm. I shudder and pull away. Why must he always touch me?
"Hands to yourself Guardian" Someone says from the door. I look over to see Abe standing there, looking spiffy in a dark blue button up shirt and dark jeans. I smile at him before I can stop myself. "And you are so right. I am a lucky man" He says taking in my appearance. He looks back towards Steven with a scowl. "I think your charges are waiting for you" he tells him coolly.
Steven mumbles something that sounds almost like a goodbye at me before scurrying out the door. "Douche" I mutter to myself.
"I certainly hope you don't mean me" Abe says, mock offense in his tone.
"Not you, him. He thinks that my being here is reason to put his hands all over me. I can not tell you the number of times in the last three weeks that he has undressed me with his eyes!" I growl, still pissed off at his cockiness.
"Not that I can blame him for it, but if it makes you uncomfortable, I would gladly take out his kneecaps." Abe tells me with a smile.
"No if he is going to be in pain, I am going to be the one administering it." I tell him cheerfully.
"Well if you change your mind, the offer is always open. Now, are you ready to go?"
"Yeah, let me grab my jacket" I tell him before running up to my bedroom to grab the jacket I insisted on taking with me, I needed somewhere to keep my stake. As I head back down I notice a weird fluttering in my stomach. Is Janine Hathaway nervous? What is it with this guy that has me so worked up? I had no idea, but I was excited to find out.
Next chapter is their first date. How romantic.
Where should he take her?! It is already written but if you have a good idea maybe i will be able to work it in there somewhere!
Soo. Next chapter should be up soon!! I promise it wont be more than a couple days! Thanks for reading
