I let my bag fall on the couch with a sigh of frustration

"Jaden, you just made a whole scene in front of people" I cross my arms

"Since when is kissing my girlfriend making a scene?" he says taking off his Rolex and letting his wrist relax from the heaviness

"It's not..... it's just that they don't know we're in a relationship-"

"and that is none of their business" He cuts me and walks to the kitchen what reminded me how thirsty I was.

So I followed him "In the car you said, you might know why I was upset," I say wanting him to finish

"Yes. Dante called me saying you didn't want a ride home and it made me figure out that you didn't want to be seen with a driver" He explains my thoughts as he grabs a glass of water for me

"Thank you," I say as he hands me the glass

He stands against the counter waiting for me to be done drinking and to give him an explanation

"Maya just said some stuff and it made me upset. That's all" I mumble looking down at my half-empty glass

He slowly walked up to me and carefully grabbed the glass out of my hands and placed it in the sink. "I thought you were good friends with Maya?"

"Yeah, me too"

He lifts me up and places me on the counter "Did you do something that will make the school call me?" He asks

I shake my head and lean it against his chest "I was actually pretty mature about it" I say looking up with my cheek still attached to his chest

Hearing the sound of his heart pounding makes me relaxed so I closed my eyes. I feel him giving me light kisses on the top of my head.

"Good job" He whispers

I wrap my arms around his neck and give him a kiss back on his shoulder

"You know, I actually have a casino that I need to attend tonight. How about you come with me?"

I look up at him thinking about it "I mean, I can leave homework for tomorrow right?" I smirk, knowing dam well he agrees

"Mhmm" he nods

***

"babe?" he knocks on my bathroom door

"It's open," I say brushing my hair

I hear the door open and see him walking in with something black in his hands

When I was done with my hair I turned to him and gave him my full attention

"Look, I don't want you to think you are not safe with me or whatsoever. Do you understand?" He asks in all seriousness

I nod still wondering what this warning was for.

He shows me this stretchy band with a silver holder in it "It's a concealed holder as they call it"

"wow"

"I'm gonna let you carry a small gun, just in case anything happens" he slowly hands it to me to let me get used to the material

"I'm supposed to wear it around my thigh right?" I ask

"Yes, I prefer you wear it around your left leg, because of the slit in your dress," He says lifting one of my feet up

I hold on to his shoulders and let him bring the band to my upper thigh "wow" I say again.

He grabs a small gun from his back and shows me where the bullets go "It's the same gun you used earlier remember?"

I nod still focused on the concealed holder "I swear we look like Mr & Mrs Smith right now"

He chuckles and secures the gun into the holder "We should go downstairs the car is ready"

I follow him down and we get into the car that was waiting for us in front of the gate

As I close the car door I ask "Jaden, why do I suddenly have to carry a gun now?"

He clears his throat and grabs his phone out of his pocket to avoid the question.

I frown and look at him "Jaden?"

He looks at me and sees the worry in my eyes. As he leans his elbow to the door and looks outside he mumbles "People just notice now that you're important to me"

I smirk and shoot closer to him to attach his knee to mine "Important huh?"

I can see him smile, but he doesn't fully turn his head my way. He holds my hand and kisses the back of mine.
