My Bodyguard is my Mate

They shared the moment until both of them could nolonger make it.

***

Leo woke up with a pounding headache, his mind foggy and his body aching.

He tried to sit up, but a wave of nausea washed over him, forcing him to lie back down.

As he looked around the room, he realized that Myra was not in bed with him.

He threw off the covers and swung his legs over the side of the bed, his feet dangling in the air.

That's when he noticed that he was naked, with only the bed sheets covering his lower half.

A faint memory of the previous night began to surface, but it was hazy and unclear.

Leo rubbed his temples, trying to remember what had happened.

He vaguely recalled going to the wedding party, , having a few drinks, and then.….things got fuzzy….He looked around the room, hoping to find some clues, and that's when he saw his clothes scattered on the floor.

Suddenly, the memories came flooding back.

He remembered kissing Myra, touching her, and making love to her.

Leo's face grew hot with embarrassment and shock as he recalled the passion and intimacy they had shared.

He threw off the bed sheets and got out of bed putting on the trousers and a shirt, He called out her name, but there was no response.

He stumbled to the bathroom, hoping to find her there, but she was not inside.

Leo's mind was racing with questions. Where was Myra? Was she okay? Did she regret what they had done? He needed to find her and talk to her, to make sure everything was alright between them.

Leo rushed out of the room, still looking for Myra.

He had to find her and talk to her, to make sure everything was alright between them.

As he entered the kitchen, he was greeted by the sight of Agnes and her young sister Racheal setting breakfast on the table.

"Good morning, Leo!" Agnes said, smiling. "We're just setting out some breakfast. Would you like some?"

Leo nodded, still distracted. "Yeah, thanks. But have you seen Myra? "

Racheal, who was pouring juice into glasses, looked up at him with big brown eyes.

"Myra went to the shore, Leo. She said she needed some fresh air."

Leo's heart sank. He had been hoping to find her in the house, to talk to her and clear the air.

But now it seemed she had gone out, and he had no idea when she would be back.

"Do you know when she left?" Leo asked, trying to sound casual.

Agnes nodded. "She left about an hour ago. She said she'd be back soon, but she didn't say exactly when."

Without a next word Leo stormed out of the house.

" Why is he in rush ?" Racheal wondered.

" Who knows ? Stay out of it.." Agnes recommended.

——

Leo rushed to the shore, his heart racing with anticipation. He had to talk to her at any cost.

As he arrived at the shore, he saw Myra getting onto the small boat, her back to him.

When she saw him, she tried to run and get onto the boat, but Leo was too quick.

He chased after her, his feet pounding the sand as he gained on her.

Myra was almost at the boat when Leo caught up to her, grabbing her arm and spinning her around.

"Myra, what are you doing?"

Leo demanded, his voice low and urgent. "Why are you trying to leave?"

Myra struggled against his grip, trying to break free.

"Let me go, Leo!" she cried, her eyes flashing with desperation. "I have to get out of here!"

Leo held tight, his fingers digging into her arm. "What's going on, Myra? What's wrong?"

Myra's face was pale, her eyes wild with fear. "Please, Leo, just let me go," she begged, her voice trembling. "I'll explain everything later, I promise."

Leo's grip didn't waver. "No, you'll explain it now," he said, his eyes locked onto hers.

"What's going on, Myra? Why are you trying to leave, We agreed to leave together once I fully recover "

"We made a mistake last night, Leo," she confessed her voice barely above a whisper.

"A big one. And I don't know how to face you, or Barbara, or anyone else after what we did."

Leo's face grew hot with shame and regret as he realized what Myra was talking about.

Myra begun crying with guilt.

" Don't know how I let that happen, I have let down Barbara."

"Oh no," He said his voice filled with horror and released her hand.

"Myra, I'm so sorry. I don't know how it happened, but I'm so sorry."

Myra's eyes snapped back to his, filled with anger and hurt.

"You're sorry?" she repeated, her voice rising.

Leo felt like he had been punched in the gut. He had never meant to hurt anyone, least of all Barbara, who he had decided to love and carefor deeply.

And Myra, who was Barbara's best friend and a boss to him. He didn't know what to say, or how to make things right.

"Myra, please," he said, his voice shaking. "We have to talk about this. We have to figure out what to do."

Myra shook her head, her eyes filling with tears again.

"There's nothing to talk about, Leo. I just need to get out of here, and away from you. I don't know if I can ever face you, or Barbara, again."

Leo felt a pang of desperation, knowing that he was losing Myra, and possibly Barbara, because of his own stupid mistake. He didn't know how to fix things, or if he even could.

" Alright, I will take you out of here. Then…." Leo was still talking when they both heard the sound of a larger boat approaching.

They turned to see a bigger boat coming towards them, with several people on board.

As it got closer, Leo's eyes widened in surprise. There were a few men who looked like they were from Raymond's side, Myra's father.

But there were also a few police officers, and one person who made Leo's heart skip a beat - Barbara.

Myra's eyes also widened in shock as she saw her father's men, and then her gaze landed on Barbara.
