The Body Guard

A Hunter/Tori Fic

Chapter 10: The Love Of A Body Guard: Part 2

Tori stood in the bathroom, her eyes fixed on the mirror and the reflection of her self. She looked up and down at the black dress she was wearing. It had been 5 days since that incident and today a funeral was being held. She slowly brushed her hair, still starring at herself. The whole event was crazy and too much. She could still recall how furious her father was, but she didn't care. She was upset at the fate of what happened to Hunter. A soft knocked was heard on the door and she put down the brush.

"You ready?" Shane's voice echoed.

She moved to the door and opened it up, Shane was standing there in his secret service outfit. He forced a smile as he wrapped his hands around her shoulder and walked her down the hall of the white house. She sighed as they exited outside, the sun shined bright on them. Shane lead her to the limousine and opened the door for her. She climbed in and peaked out at him.

"Will you ride with me?" She asked.

Shane glanced at her and then at the other guys, "Uh I was going to go-"

"Please?" She interuptted.

Shane sighed and nodded, climbing in. The brunette dashed out of the white house and down the steps climbing in also, closing the door of the limousine.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." He looked at both of them.

The vehicle began to move, entering on the streets. Tori sighed, staying quiet as she looked out the window and all the people. She passed the café where Hunter and her first had lunch together. She forced a small smile, recalling some of the conversations she had.

"I don't know what to really tell you. I'm a mysterious man."

"Some girls like a mysterious man."

"You one of those girls?"

"Not sure yet. I haven't decided yet"

Her smile faded away as she repeated the conversation once more. Dustin and Shane glanced at each other, before one of them decided to speak up.

"Why are you this upset?" Dustin brought up the nerve, "I mean after everything he did to you?"

Tori turned, "I never said I-"

"Did you like him?" Shane was curious, interrupting her.

Dustin smirked, "Now Hunter was a good guy." He pointed out.

Shane nodded, "Yeah you should-"

"Guys!" Tori barked at them, "Drop it. I don't want to talk about this." She grumbled.

Shane and Dustin nodded and remain quiet. Tori sighed deeply, trying to hold back her tears. She didn't know why she was so upset. She continued to look out the window, trying to sort everything out. She remembered telling Hunter that she loved him, but for some reasons she is starting to question that. Did she say all this because her life was on the line, did Hunter even feel the same way? So many questions she wished she had asked him, so many answers needs to know. Finally they arrived at the graveyard, where the funeral was going to be held. She climbed out and walked, nodded towards Hunter's family members. She then took a seat and sat down, waiting for everything to begin. Cam walked over, he spotted Tori sitting by herself and sat down next to her.

"You okay?" He asked.

She nodded, "I guess."

"Want to talk?" He forced a smile at her.

"Maybe after the funeral" She responded.

He nodded as the priest walked up to the podium and began his speech. Tori listened closely, as the words began to come out of his mouth. She tried to pay attention, but her mind drifted back to Hunter and her true feelings. It was really bugging her.

"He was an interesting fellow, yes he was. He had done so much for the community, his charity, his hard work. He was a respectable man."

Tori smirked, hearing the words as she started to recall more of the past conversations she had with Hunter. Trying to figure out, at what point in there interaction did these feeling she had began to grow.

"Would you stop following me!"

"Look, Princess, instead of running a marathon. Why don't you just accept the fact that as long as your out in the city. I'm going to be here. "

"He had a passion for Motocross." The priest kept reading the card in front of him, "He had potential and never gave up on what he wanted."

" If you think that for a second, I'm going to let you have all the fun. Your dead wrong."

" It's sweet that you care about me."

"It's a shame where his life had ended up. I hope that God will take him to a better place. We are here to pay our respects, for not only for the good things he had done in life, but to forgive his stupid actions and consequences."

"Hang in there please. Hunter.."

"Tori.." He whispered.

"Hunter wait. Please, there's something I have to tell."

"Goodbye.."

"Wait! Hunter! I-I love you."


Tori continued to think, as the priest kept on talking. Being lost in thoughts made her lose track of time. Cam tapped her on the shoulder and she looked around, noticing everyone getting up and the casket descending into the grave. The mother was crying, Tori looked over at her. She then took a few steps forward and watched as the casket was set down at the bottom of the pit. She turned to look away as everyone broke towards the car. She brushed her hair back and walked over towards a bench to sit down. She had to collect her thoughts again, before bursting out into tears. Cam had followed her, still remembering that she said she talk after.

"Cam." She looked up at him.

He sat down, "Yeah?"

"I can't decide him if I love him or not. He's done so much for me, but I hated him for all his annoyance and arrogance. I can't find what I saw in him. Why I bursted out up in that building during that fight and told him I love him."

Cam sighed, "Sometimes the people you hate the most, are the ones you care for a lot."

She arched her eye brows at the strange advice, "So you think I had feelings for him?"

Cam smirked, "Had? I still think you do."

"But, he-"

"Dressed like a women to risk his job, his life to get the data to save you? To follow you around and let you abuse him. To storm his brothers business building to get revenge for what he did to you. You cannot tell me, that you weren't thank ful for that."

"But."

He shifted his body a bit to look at her, "Tell me Tori, if you didn't love him, you wouldn't be having a hard time coping with this."

Cam glanced over to see Dustin and Shane talking to someone. Tori looked over too, but she couldn't see him well cause they were blocking her view. Cam smirked, getting Tori's attention. He got up, she looked up at him, wondering where he was going.

"There's only one thing you have to do." He looked back at her.

"What's that?"

He turned and began walking away as a man walked over to her. His dirty blonde hair blew in the wind as he made his way over and sat down. Tori moved away a bit to give him some room, as he turned and smiled at her.

"Hunter.." She whispered.

He chuckled, "Tori." He responded.

She adjusted her position and gave him a concern look, "Are you sure you should be here? I mean your wound. You should still be in the hospital."

He looked down at the ground, holding the side where the wound was, "I can't miss my brother's funeral. I mean, even after everything he did, he's still my brother."

Tori forced a smile, chuckling a bit with him. She remembered how he was rushed to the hospital and how they nearly lost him. It was a miracle that he survived that wound from the sword. It looked like it would have killed him. She had only visited once when he was asleep, it was too painful for her to continue to see him in that situation. It must be painful for him to walk, let alone move around like this at the funeral. How he convinced the doctors to leave was beyond her.

"I have to know something." She asked.

Hunter looked over at her, "Yeah.. That.." He trailed off, "Tori. Maybe your feelings weren't what you thought they were... maybe mine aren't either.. That day was crazy. Our emotions were all going hay wire and-"

Tori moved forward and pulled him over to a kiss. Hunter took it by surprise but then started to kiss back. She had to know if she really loved him, and figure she could find out through a kiss. She kissed him deep, looking for that feeling. They were both passionate about it, Tori broke away to catch a breather. A smile broke across her face as she stood up and walked past him with a smirk.

"What?" He asked.

She chuckled a bit, "I'll see you around Hunter... get some rest." She grinned and began to walk towards her limousine.

Hunter watched from the bench as she looked back and smiled before entering her car. The vehicle began to drive away, she looked out the window at him and waved. He slowly waved back as he disappeared from view. She leaned back from on her seat and smiled, sighing of relief. All possible doubts and mixed feelings had washed away. The kiss, it had that feeling, that love. Spark and passion. Meaning and urge for her to see him again. She did love him, she chuckled at that thought. After everything had happen. The vehicle drove as the sun began to set. She opened the window and peaked out, starring at the sun set realizing how strange loved worked.....
