"No no no no! Shane is not a bodyguard. She’s a woman. She can not
protect you."

"Daddy, Shane is tougher then half the guys I know and plus, she saved
your life."

"She’s not a real bodyguard though Carmen."

"You said I could pick anyone. I pick Shane. End of story"

with that Carmen walks away to her room with a huge smile across her
face. As Mr. M. walks off to go find Shane.

Mr. M’s. POV

I can’t believe my daughter out witted me. This is no good. But luckly I
have just the plan. I’ll offer Shane the job and mention how dangerous
it’s going to be and she’ll back down in a heart beat…..There she is
now.

"Shane. Might I have a word with you?"

"Yeah, of course."

I spent about ten minutes with Shane going over the situation that was
at hand. I made sure to mention all the dangers there would be. Although
I’m sure there won’t be too many. But I would like Shane to think
differently.

"So let me get this right. You want me to be Carmen’s bodyguard?"

"That’s right."

"Follow her where ever she goes? And like protect her and stuff?"

"Exactly…..now I understand completely if you don’t want to do it.
It’s very dangerous and you could……."

"I’ll do it."

"What?"

"I’ll do it. You’ve done a lot for me and Carmen is a great friend of
mine. So I would be more then happy to do this for you."

I did not see this coming. Well…… I guess Shane is my daughters new
bodyguard.

"Alright Shane. Then it’s settled. You are my little girl’s bodyguard."

Shane’s POV

This is crazy! I don’t know the first thing about being a bodyguard. And
not to mention I could get shot at….again! Well I guess I better get
over it. I agreed to do this. So I’m gonna do it. But first I better go
find Carmen.

"Excuse me are you, Shane."

"Umm yeah."

"Great. Follow me" This little old man slaps my back and heads off
towards who knows where.

"Umm follow you where?"

"Mr. M. has asked me to tailor you a suit. So we are going to the
fitting room."

"I don’t wear suits."

"You do now."

Great. So not only do I have to protect Carmen, I have to wear this
stupid suit for her too……well actually, I don’t look too bad.

"Hey, nice job on the suit."

"You are welcome. Miss Carmen will be expecting you down stairs now."

"Oh okay. Thank you."

I take one last look in the mirror and head down stairs to meet up with
Carmen.

I walk down the stairs and see that she’s on the phone. So I slow up my
steps trying not to inturupt her conversation. But I was too late.

"Wow."

"You like?" I spin around to give her a full look

"Umm yeah…..you look good enough to fake it"

"Fake what?"

"This. The bodyguard thing.."

"I don’t follow you…"

"I picked you so you could help me get of this situation. I don’t need
someone following me around. I’m a big girl you know."

"Yeah but I told your father I would do this."

"I don’t need protection. And I really don’t need to be followed."

"Maybe you do, maybe you don’t. But I’m going to whether you like it or
not." I’m doing my best to stand my ground, but then she gets this
wicked smile on her face.

"Ok Shane…. I’ll see you tommorow morning then." She says as she walks
off leaving me to wonder what she’s got going on in that head of hers.
And what I’ve got myself into…..

(5 am) Shane’s room

Carmen’s POV

I walk up the stairs and into the room Shane’s staying in. She’s still
asleep so I creep over to her bed and then jump on it.

"What the fuck!"

"Wake up! It’s time for the gym!"

"Are you kiding me?…….What time is it?"

"It’s 5oclock. Now get dressed and let’s go!"

"Fuck."

I walk out of the room feeling very satisfied. This whole Shane being my
bodyguard thing just might be fun after all.
