376 Briannas bodyguard 1 (1/2)

Monday

Hunter was setting up the table with breakfast, when he heard Mia's voice from behind: ”What do you think?”

Hunter turned around and his eyebrows shoot up when he saw Mia in a black business suit. The type men are usually wearing, but this one was her size.

”Is this how you are going?”, Hunter asked cautiously.

Mia nodded in confirmation and repeated her question. ”What do you think? How do I look?”

Hunter tilted his head to the right, then to the left, and observed Mia from head to her toes.

”You are cute.”, he said after some time.

Mia frowned. ”I am not going for cute here. Bri needs security. Cute will not work. Oh, wait! I know!”

Mia dashed back into the bedroom and a few seconds later, returned with big sunglasses that covered her eyes. The thin metallic rim framing the traditional Ray-Ban aviator shape was a giveaway that those are sunglasses for men.

”How about now? Anything different?”, Mia asked with a grin on her face.

”Uhm… those are mine.”

Mia pouted. ”Come on, Hunter. I'm going for dangerous and unapproachable and the only thing you noticed was that I am cute and that I have your sunglasses.”

Hunter smiled and walked toward Mia. ”Let me see you from the back…”

Mia turned and a second later, Hunter enveloped her in his hug and murmured close to her ear: ”No matter what you wear, for me, you will be cute. And I don't mind you wearing my sunglasses… but I prefer that you remove everything else.”

Mia giggled. ”Be serious. This is the first time someone is asking me to be a bodyguard. You know… If this works out, maybe I can talk to my dad and we can rebrand the organization from 'hire to kill' to 'hire to guard'.”

”That sounds like a plan. I'm sure you will make it a big success.”, Hunter said dotingly.

Mia turned to face him. ”Really? You won't mind if I work with my dad?”

Hunter removed the sunglasses so that he can see her blue eyes without obstructions.

”Why would I mind? I told you more than once that you are free to do whatever you want. As long as I am part of your life, I will be fine.”

Mia's chin trembled and she buried her face in his chest. ”Thank you, love.”

Hunter didn't understand why Mia is so emotional, but he will never refuse hugs from her.

They held each other until the coffee machine beeped, reminding them that their morning beverage is ready.

Mia glanced at the table full of breakfast items and she grinned at her fiancé. ”You know how to please a woman.”

”Only one woman.”, Hunter corrected Mia and pecked her lips. ”On the first day I met you, I realized that you are like a cat. As long as I keep on filling your stomach, you will not leave me.”

This request from Brianna about Mia acting as her bodyguard thing came unexpectedly, and Mia is excited about it, even though it's only a one-time thing.

”Do you know why Bri needs a bodyguard suddenly? Did she get into some trouble?”, Hunter asked Mia over breakfast.

Brianna called last night and asked Mia for a favor. Before Mia could ask any questions or answer with 'yes' or 'no', there was a sound of their doorbell: a courier delivered a suit for Mia.
