My bodyguard part 2
So im making this sort of like entries of what happened to them on certain days so i hope no one minds me changing the flow and style of the drabble!
Three weeks later....
Rapunzel's POV
I think I'm starting to Become friends with Jack. We've been talking more and more and I think he's starting to like me.
I told him about all the things I painted and the places I wanted to see. He'd tell me stories about him in the academy. Then he'd go all serious security man again and guard my door.
But I'm sure I'm wearing him down by now. He still calls me Princess and it makes me annoyed yet flattered at the same time.
Jack's POV
She's starting to grow on me the princess. It isn't good, this is going to make my job much harder then it should be. But I can't help it. She looks at me me with those big green eyes and talks to me about all the places she wants to go and I can't help but listen and reply. She just seems so lonely! I mean she hasn't talked to anyone her age since she was twelve. She's been trapped in her father's life.
She's pretty funny actually when you get to know her. I still call her princess because she still acts like one. But I hate to admit it but I'm growing fond of her. Which can be dangerous.
Rapunzel's POV
Today Jack actually started the conversation. He asked me how I think of what to paint. I told him I just paint what I hear about in stories or what I've seen in real life....but mostly about stories. He seemed satisfied with my answer. Then he even asked me another question. He asked me what else do I like to do. I told him Basketball. He seemed surprised by my answer. It turns out he played basketball in high school. I asked him if he wanted to play. He said "that would be against protocol."
I said "You're just scared you'll be beaten by a girl."
He laughed at that and we ended up playing basketball. Right in the middle of playing I tripped over my shoelace and hurt my ankle pretty badly on the way down.
He rushed right towards me. He was very panicky and kept saying I'm sorry and how he should've been watching me more carefully I told him I'm fine as tears welled up in my eyes from pain. It was just a little swollen. He carried me to the White House nurse. That was the moment I believe I knew I didn't want to be his friend anymore.....I wanted much more than that.
Jack's POV
How could I have been so stupid! I had no reason or obligation to play basketball with her. But no she asked me and I said no but she looked at me again and I thought I was going to explode if I didn't do what she asked. Now because of my stupidity I've gotten her hurt when my job is supposed to be protecting her. That's it. No matter what I have to stay professional. No more asking questions no more answering personal questions. No more basketball games and definitely no more giving in to her. My only job is to protect her that's it.....no matter how much more I want.
Rapunzel's POV
Jack won't talk to me anymore. Whenever I try to make conversation he just nods his head. I just had to trip on my stupid shoelace and sprang my ankle. He probably hates me for almost getting him in trouble. It's been a week and he still hasn't talked to me and it's killing me. I ruined the first friendship I really had in years and I just mess everything up! I knew I messed everything up when he started calling me Miss Rapunzel again.
Jack's POV
She's stopped trying to talk to me now. This should be a good thing. I'm just her security guard and she's just a person I have to protect for my job. But I feel horrible! She looks even more lonely then she ever was. It makes me feel like I'm the worst person in the world every time I nod and say goodbye miss Rapunzel when I leave. But what can I do? It's for her own safety. But it's hard to remind myself that whenever I see her empty canvas'. She hasn't painted since I've stopped talking.
Rapunzel POV
I yelled at him today. First time I say any words to him and they come out yelling. He did his usual cold goodbye and I yelled at him
"Is that really all you have to say?!" I yelled.
He looked a little stunned and his eyes actually showed regret but I didn't care at that point I wanted to be heard. After weeks of just ignoring each other I wanted to get how I felt out.
"Tell me!" I demanded.
"I'm sorry Miss-"
"I swear if you call me that one more time I'm going to throw something at you." I said. "Now listen I know I messed up okay? I'm sorry that I got myself hurt during your shift but that's no reason you can just ignore me!"
"Rapunzel....I can't do this I'm sorry , this is my job and I can't endanger you when my job is to protect you." He said.
"You are not a danger to me Jack. It was an accident it could've happened to anyone!"
"But it didn't it happened to you, and I can't have that happen again under my watch." He said "I'm sorry I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow."
"I really thought you started to like me." Was all I said and then he left.
I went to bed sad and alone. Agent Max was guarding the outside of my door. And guards were surrounding the perimeter as usual. Yet someone had been able to kill off all the security cameras. Injure Maximus and sneak into my room.
I felt a gun place near my head. "Get up or I will shoot you." The man said.
I got up slowly and did what I was told. He snuck me out the window and before I knew it I was tied and gagged and placed into a van.
Jack's POV
She was kidnapped last night. After her confronting me I felt even worse but I didn't think I could feel any lower until she said those last words to me and now she's kidnapped by men demanding the President present 1 million dollars for her safe return and I left her without an explanation or even a real goodbye. I reported to President Corona's office the minute I heard she had been taken from her room.
"Agents I need on of you to do me a big favor." The President said to all of us.
"I need someone willing to bring the money to my little girl's captors and save her. I know this mission is extremely dangerous but it's what you've been train-"
"I'll go sir." I volunteered.
"You do know that accepting this could be a suicide mission. You may be killed."
"I understand sir." I replied.
"Alright then let's bring my daughter back."
We got into position. The kidnappers told us to go to The Lincoln monument with a duffle bag filled with the money. No guns they said or weapons. I was going in with nothing for protection except for my training and a bullet proof vest.
I walked to the monument. It was 3 am just like they said. They came on time. There they were Three masked men with Rapunzel who was gagged and tied up.
"Release the girl." I said calmly.
"We will drop the bag of money." One of the men said.
I did so and put my hands on my head and kicked the bag over. They examined it one still holding his gun towards Rapunzel's head.
"It's all there now please just let her go." I said.
"Pat him down see if he has any weapons." One of the men said.
The man patted me down and felt the vest beneath my clothes.
"He has a bullet proof vest on," he said
"Well it's his lucky day then." One of the men said. He untied Rapunzel and passed her over.
"And just in case you try to follow us."
I heard three things....one a gun shot.... two a scream.....three running feet.
He had shot me right in the chest the bullet proof vest protecting me but it still knocked the wind out of me. I felt like I couldn't breathe. Rapunzel was over me telling me to breathe. Agents started swarming around the place.
"You did good Jack you did good." Agent Rider said. "We caught all three of them and Rapunzel is safe."
I still couldn't breathe that well but if I could I would given the biggest sigh of relief.
Rapunzel's POV
He was in the infirmary for a day. He had bruised a rib where the bullet hit him. I stayed with him in the infirmary Flynn keeping watch outside of the room.
"How are you feeling?" I asked.
"Fine I just wish they would let me out of here I'm fine." He said sitting up. "See I can even sit up right."
"You need your rest." I said.
"I'm sorry Rapunzel for the way I've been treating you. After what happened I realized I don't want you to be just a job you're so much more than that." He said.
"I'm so sorry I yelled at you..."
"No you had all the right to. I was acting like a jerk. I should've told you how much it was hurting me to do what I was doing. I'm the only one who should be apologizing. I would really like it if we could be friends again."
"I don't.....I don't want to be friends Jack... "
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Well it seems I have......I have .....grown a little too fond of you.....like every time I see you I uh feel something and I can't really explain it but I just want to be with you..."
He kissed me. He took me by the chin and kissed me. It felt like nothing I have ever felt before. He just did it there. Before I knew it I was putting my hands through his hair and his hand was caressing my cheek. Then it was over he grunted a bit in pain
"Damn rib." He said.
I laughed.
"I'm guessing what we just did was not under protocol."
"Definitely not." He smiled "but worth it."
"How is this going to work with you being part of my secret service."
"Well I have a pretty nice boss and I did do him a huge favor so I think he'll let it slide if I date his daughter." He said.
"I think you're right." I said
"Wow Princess, you actually agree with me on something I'm shocked."
"Shut up." I smiled and leaned in to kiss him again.
