"I think I can handle your daughter..."
"Let's get one thing straight, nobody can handle Catherine."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
~ Present ~
"Where will we be located ?"
"New York, Catherine goes to NYU and when I break the news to her that she will in fact have a body guard you two will be relocated to a house close to the collage but far enough away that if you sense anything wrong you can eliminate the problem"
I nod my head "when should I expect to return?"
He leaned back in his chair "I will give you a six month trial,so if you manage to keep my daughter from harm for that lenght of time, then we shall discuss a more permanent position" he continued
"You will be returning to New York upon your exit from my office"
I nod my head and walked toward the door
He called out my name and I stopped in my tracts turning around to face him
"I'm putting my daughters life in your hands ... Don't fuck it up"he said and waved his hand implying for me to leave
I exited his office and was lead back out to the car where I was driven back to the airport and boarded a plane heading straight back to New York.

New York
Catherine POV
"Shut up Tess , this is going to ruin my life" I complained as she started to laugh
"Oh come on cat you never know this could be a good thing your dad could get a hunk of a man, to shadow you 24/7" my best friend replied trying to lighten the mood
"You know...I highly doubt that knowing him he'll probably get some fat, bald guy who smells just to spite me"
Just then I felt a pair hands cover over my eyes
"Guess who?"the male voice whispered into my ear
"Hmmm...could it be my dumb ass boyfriend who I was suppose to be having lunch with but instead got stood up because he cared more about getting extra credit than spending time with his girlfriend" I snapped and Tess stood up from the bench
"You know I think I'm gonna give you too some space see yeah later cat" she spoke in her cheery tone before walking away
The grip around my eyes released and he sat beside me on the bench
"I'm sorry baby Its just I really need it, I'm sorry if I made you feel unwanted can you please forgive me"he said giving me a pout and puppy dog eyes
"Fine" I replied in defeat whenever it came to Evan I just couldn't stay mad at him
"Great" he said and gave me a peck on the lips "so ah listen cat I gotta run but I'll catch you later" he stated and began to rise to his feet but I grabbed his arm pulling him back down
"What? you just got here, where are going?" I asked feeling my anger rise
"Oh sorry I forgot to tell you , my professor asked me if I could help one of her students who's new to the school, you know give her the full tour"
"Mmhmm" I replied rolling my eyes and folding my arms across my chest before he walked off
As I sat there alone stewing in my anger my phone rang I took it out and groaned when dad popped up on the caller ID I pressed the green button and rose it to my ear
"What?" I spat down the line
"Catherine don't speak to your father like that"
I took a breath in and released it
"your right sorry dad it's just school and stuff... Stressful anyway what's up?"
"I just called to tell you that I have picked a body guard for you he is on his way to New York as we speak"
"dad don't tell me you made this guy move to New York just to be a pain in my ass"
"no he actually lives in New York so it all works out perfectly"
I could practically see him patting himself on the back
"oh get off your high horse you do realise since I never wanted a body guard that I am going to make this guys life a living hell he'll be crawling home by the end of the week with his tale between his legs"I stated a smirk covering my face
I could hear a laugh from the other end of the line
"you know I wouldn't recommend that considering the two of you will be living together and I've met the young fella he seems quiet ...determined"
My jaw dropped
"you gotta be shitting me...what is he gonna bunk with me in my dorm room tops to tails every night" I said slightly joking/serious
"no once he reaches New York the two of you will be relocated to a house close to the collage which is where you will stay for the next 6 months"
"what happens after six months?"
"decisions will be made"
"when do we move in?" I asked having lost the fight
"tonight he will pick you up at 9 and the two of you will go to the house...and cat I think it's best if you don't tell Tess or Evan where the house is I just want to make sure that there's no way you could be compromised"
I just scoffed and threw my head back "fine whatever" it might be a good thing actually I thought to myself I could disappear on Evan for a change instead of the other way around
"what's his name?" I asked point blank
"Vincent Keller"
When he told me his name an unexpected shiver ran down my spine
"great... Anyway as much as I would love to stay and chat all day I've business too attend too so I'll call you later..ok dad" I said eyeing my watch and realising I was going to be late for my next class
"ok..be nice...love you sweetie"
"love you too dad bye" I replied before hanging up the phone And making my way to my next class
~ a few hours later ~
When my remaining classes had finished for the day I made my way back to my dorm and started packing my things since Tess was having a sleepover at her boyfriends house I wouldn't be asked 101 questions and even if I didn't like what my father was doing I have to accept that it's for the best
When I was done packing I plopped myself on the bed and felt like dieing of boredom so I took out my phone and began to text my friend Sarah
'Hey anything interesting going on?Catherine x'
I waited a minute, then heard my phone beep
'Yeah major house party at Zekes sorority why don't you come Evans here!'
I popped up in the bed 'what the hell was Evan doing at a house party when he told me he was showing some new student around the school'
Has he been there for long? I quickly typed and pressed send
'about 4 hours he's pritty out of it !'
That was when he left me sitting on the bench alone!
'That little bollox' I muttered under my breath
'Ok I'll be there soon but keep that between us' I sent her planing on showing up to find out what Evan was really up to
'of coarse' she replied and I Made my way out the door
When I reached the house party I put My hood up to keep people from recognising me and walked in the door I spotted Sarah and walked over to her
"Do you know where he is?"I asked an annoyed look on my face
"Cat he's upstairs"she replied and I angrily stomped up the steps, As I reached The second level I swung open one of the bedroom doors to find my boyfriend having sex with the school sloar tori Windsor. I made my way up the side of the bed and tapped him on the shoulder he looked at me in horror as I swung my fist hitting the right side of his face knocking him out cold I then looked down at tori and reached my hand out for her to shake, She looked at me confused then placed her hand in mine
I tightly gripped it and shook it up and down "thank you" I said before releasing my grip and walking out of the room.
As I made my way down the stairs and out the door I was still trying to process what had just happened, I wasn't mad, I wasn't even upset I was relieved actually I have no time for a part time boyfriend so all in all Evan can go fuck himself or someone else I don't really care anymore.
As I walked up the footpath back towards my dorm I glanced at my watch and noticed it was 9:30pm
'Well I guess the GI-JOE wannabe is probably at my dorm by now' I thought letting out a sigh before picking up the pace
when I was a few metres away from the dorm building a car stopped beside me and a group of men stepped out they couldn't have been anymore then 19, so I'm guessing they were students just looking for trouble
I stood In the middle as they surrounded me
"Hey baby you looking for a good time"one of the guys said with a sleazy look on his face
"You know what thanks for the offer but I think I'm gonna pass" I said trying to push past him but he pushed me back
"where do you think your going?"The same guy asked his grin intact
"To yours moms house she's charging half price tonight" I said with a sarcastic tone and smirk on my face
"You bitch" he growled and rose his fist to punch me, I instinctively ducked and he missed, as I popped up again I rose the palm of my hand quickly thrusting it upwards hitting him in the nose then my leg rose kicking him in the stomach causing him to fall on his back
I looked down at him and then backed away a little feeling the other people surrounding me coming closer
As they began too attack me I tried to fight them off but they were too strong. As one guy kicked me in the ribs I crouched over in pain
As they pushed me to the ground one guy stood over me
"We're going to have our fun with you presidents daughter." He said with a disgusting grin growing wider on his face
As he began to pull on my jeans one of the guys behind him screamed which distracted him long enough for me to raise my leg kicking him right in between the legs
As he stumbled back a bit I placed the palm of my hands on the ground at either side of my head, kicked my legs up in the air and thrust my hips forward forcing my body upwards, Landing on my feet.
as he swung for me again I ducked and threw a right jab catching him directly under the jaw and then twirled around doing a full 360 rising my leg into the air and kicked him across the head knocking him out. I looked down at him then up to see a tall guy with an army style haircut throwing punches
As he continued to throw punches and kick the men, I realised that he wasn't one of them he wasn't trying to hurt me he was trying to protect me
"Vincent..." I whispered
As I was distracted the guy I had nocked to the ground earlier came up behind me and wrapped his arms around mine pulling them down to my side and whispered in my ear
"I'm not done with you yet"
"Fuck you"I replied and swung my head back connecting with his nose
I Then stomped down on his foot as hard as I could causing him to release his grip, I Then making one last attempt of getting rid of the guy grabbed My right fist with my left hand and pushed my arm back elbowing him into the ribs causing him to stumble backwards, I kicked my leg outwards stamping into his stomach forcing him off his feet and onto the ground
As I took a few deep breaths I looked around and there was no sign of Vincent
As I looked back around there were two guys running towards me, suddenly I felt an arm wrap around my waist lifting me up and spinning me around I stretched my feet out kicking the two guys across the heads, nocking them Unconscious
When I was put back on my feet I placed my hands on my thighs crouching over taking a few deep breaths in and my heart rate began to return to normal.
"Are you alright?" The male voice asked as I was doubled over clutching my side
As I straightened up my body I nod my head "yeah"
I pulled back my hood and reached my hand out for him to shake
When he saw who I was his eyes widened
"Catherine..."
He said surprised
"The one and only" I replied as he placed his hand in mine and our eyes locked
"You must be Vincent Keller, my dad told me you were coming, thanks for the help earlier" I said retracting my hand and placing it in my pocket
"No problem, who were those guys?" He asked his eyes brows furrowed
"oh... Just some frat asholes, nothing I can't handle"I replied happy with what I had accomplished
"I noticed, where did you learn to fight like that?"
"My dad wanted boys!"I replied sarcastically and we both let out a chuckle
"I better get back to the dorm and grab my things" I said and started to walk towards the building but he grabbed my arm
"Your stuff's already in the car"
I looked at him with furrowed eyebrows "how?"
"While I waited for you I decided to pack your stuff into the car so we could leave straight after you came"
I pulled my arm out of his grip and folded them across my chest
"And how did you know where my room was?" I asked narrowing my eyes on him
He just scoffed "Catherine I'm an ex marine, I figured it out?"
I turned around ready to go back to my room but he stopped me again! Whats this guys problem
"What now?" I snapped
"We have to go to the house Catherine! and what if more of them guys come?what are you gonna do then!" I took a step closer and looked up into his eyes
"You can stay or you can go Vincent either way I'm GOING back to my room and like i said I can take care of myself!"
I pulled away and started to walk towards the buildings entrance.
Vincent's POV
I have orders to keep her safe and That even means sometimes protecting her from herself, I have to get her to the house and pronto, if she's going to be too stubborn not to come willingly then it looks like I'm gonna have to take matters into my own hands
As she turned away and started to walk towards the entrance I acted quickly
I wrapped one of my arms around her waist and pressed my hand against the pressure point on her neck causing her to fall unconscious, I lifted her into my arms and placed her into the back of the car, I shut the door and then went around to the front and sat in, starting the ignition
I followed the I was given which led us to a long driveway with a tall thick black gate at the end of it i took out a small remote that the secretary had handed me before i had gotten on the plain and pointed it towards the gate pressing the red button in the centre
A minute later they opened which led to a big two story house with a patio that had two old style wooden chairs on it
I turned off the ignition and just sat looking at the house for a minute before Pulling out the keys and exiting the car
I pulled the back door of the car opened and lifted Catherine into my arms and walked towards the entrance I stuck the keys in the door unlocking it and used my foot to push it open
When we entered the house I switched on the light and walked towards the staircase. When i reached the second level I swung open the first door on my right and entered it placing Catherine down on the bed
I looked at her and chuckled
'Her dad was right about her being stubborn but he didn't mention how beautiful she was'
I thought to myself as I left the room and closed the door behind me
'These are going to be an interesting six months!'
