Chapter two
"What's the matter, not falling for me are ya?" Dante asked, breaking my concentration.
"You wish" I mumbled to myself.
The office fell silent while Dante thought about the job and whether he would actually take the trouble to accept it. Finally he gave a loud sigh and stood up.
"Alright if I knock in the cue ball, I'll take the job if not you find someone else to baby sit her" he walked over to the snooker table and picked up a cue, Morrison nodded smiling.
"Go ahead" he answered.
Dante aimed the cue and there was a loud crack as the balls collided with each other, after a second or two he turned round and stomped back to his desk, where he sat down and folded his arms.
"Looks like you're in luck kid" he said sulkily, Morrison grinned and nodded in my direction as he left.
"Take good care of her, see you again Miss Ayame" too doors slammed shut behind him leaving me and my new bodyguard alone, the office was dark and not female friendly at all, I was glad I didn't have to live here.
"So how long are you planning to sit there staring at me" he asked, leaning forward on his desk.
"Sorry" I answered, nervous still and more than a little intimidated, I had no idea why I needed a bodyguard in the first place but my family insisted so I couldn't argue with them.
"How long have you known Morrison?" I had to at least try to be friends with him it would make this easier on both of us I figured.
"A long time, years" Dante was at the jukebox again trying to make it work.
"Damn things getting old" he complained kicking it again, making the song jump and restart.
"You sure it's not just you getting old?" an unfamiliar voice came from the direction of the doors, I turned in my chair to see a young man about my age, his hair was white and his arm in a sling. Dante growled at the voice.
"Don't get too cocky now kid or I might just have to kill you" he said giving the jukebox another kick.
"I'd like to see you try old man" the boy seemed like he'd known Dante a while the way they argued was almost like they were brothers.
