After the police arrived the guy finally woke up and he tried to lie his way out. But thankfully there are cameras around the property so they believed us. One of the policemen high fived me for taking him out by myself. They took the both of our statements and turns out he tried to rape Scarlett. Now I'm glad I knocked him out and grateful I fell asleep on the desk.

The police take him away and I clean up my wounds. And the asshole's blood from my hands too. I get out of the bathroom and go to Scarlett's room she just sits there and stares into space. She must be traumatized.

"Come on, pack a bag for today and tomorrow, you're staying at my place" I say

"Excuse me?" she says

"You heard me correctly, get packing so we can go to my place and sleep safely."

"I'll call Chris he must be up" she says

"If you don't feel safe sleeping at my place then just say so. I can drive you to his place if you want. " I say defeated. J can't leave her here alone with a smashed window.

"It's not that I don't feel safe, you just-you're just my-my assistant and U don't want to do anything inappropriate."

"I just knocked out a guy at 3 am in my bosses room, we've passed that pretty much." I tell her

She gets packing as I clean up her room. The glass is shattered everywhere. She finishes her packing and we go to my car. I drive to my place wide awake from the adrenaline boost I got earlier. We get to my place and I unlock it. Opening the door for her to enter first. She looks in awe of the place and follows me to the guest bedroom that is right next to mine. She has her own bathroom and I tell her if she needs anything to knock on my door. She nods shyly and goes to her room. I change out of my bloody clothes and rinse my body before I go and lay in bed. I fall asleep almost instantly.

I wake up at around 10 am this morning and I get dressed quickly. I go to the kitchen to make the two of us breakfast. I was extremely hungry today so I decided to make a bigger breakfast. I made french toast, eggs and some avocado toast. I also made her a coffee and myself an english tea. She steps into the kitchen in her shorts and an oversized t shirt over it. Her hair is messed up a bit and her skin is glowing.

"Good morning" she says in her morning voice. I almost choke on my tea as I hear it. I know her voice is attractive, but her morning voice though? Out of this world.

"Good morning." She sits at the table with me and I hand her the coffee I made for her and she smiles in return.

"Your apartment is gorgeous. I've never seen anything like this" she compliments looking around all the things on the walls.

"Thank you. How did you sleep?"

"I slept good." I nod and sit on my tea

"Do your hands hurt?" she asks pointing to my beat up knuckles.

"A little, yeah. My lip is a pain in the ass though. It stings. " I say

"I wonder how much you can really handle"

"Excuse me?" I ask chewing on my toast

"Well you can handle so much at once I just wondered how much is too much."

she says looking away. Too much is loosing both parents and a sibling to a fucking car crash.

"I don't know, never got there" I answer

After breakfast I take our dishes and put them into the sink. I have a dishwasher but I don't want to waste that much water for a few plates and a pan. Scarlett stays locked in her seat and looks out the window. I can't even imagine what may be going through her head. I start washing the dishes and I get a call. I can hear my phone ringing in my bedroom. I dismiss it, I can call the person back after I'm done. No need for a rush or anything.

"Adams, I think your phone is ringing, do you want me to get it for you?"

"No thanks, I will call the person back after I'm done." I tell her with my back towards her.

"Well what if it was something urgent?"

"Something urgent on saturday morning? I doubt that" I tell her

I finish the dishes and turn to get a towel when I see her sitting on the island. She's been sitting there this whole time? Her orbs are focused on me and I can tell she wants to ask me something. Her eyes go from my legs to my stomach and when she reaches my face I could notice a blush creeping up her cheeks. She looks away clearly embarrassed that I caught her checking me out. I mean I don't blame her. I am in shorts and a lose t shirt. You can see my legs and bits of my stomach that she's already seen the other day in the car. I grow hot at her stare and look away, drying ny hands on a towel that just so happened to be in a drawer next to her leg.

"Is everything okay?" I ask her

"I think so, I mean I keep repeating what happened last night and I can't stop thinking about how you beat up that guy" she says looking at her hands

"What did I do that makes you think so much about it"

"It's not that you beat him up. It's the fact that you're always prepared. Whenever I needed something or someone you were there for me."

"Well in that case I'm really good at my job" I tell her

"Right. You should probably call the person back." she says dismissing me

"Did I say something wrong?" I ask her

"No, you're good. Go and call the person back" she says looking at her lap

I take her chin into my hand and raise her head so she could look at me and tell me that to my face.

"Are you sure" my face inches from hers. I can smell her perfume. She swallows and throws a glance at my lips.

"Yes, I'm sure" she says quietly. Her raspy voice just brings me goosebumps. I stare at her lips and nod.

"Okay, whatever you say." I turn and go to my bedroom looking for my phone. When I turn it on I see a missed call from Maria Clark.I dial her number and wait for her to pick up.

"Hello" She says on the other line

"Hey Maria, I see you called me" I tell her

"Yes I did, I wanted to ask you if you'd mind joining me to go shopping today? I have an event I need to be at next week and I have no idea what to wear"

"Sure, what time were you planning to go?" I ask her

"Well how about 1pm, we can get lunch after we're done and you can tell me all about your new job"

"Can I ask you something?" I ask her

"Of course"

"Would you mind if Scarlett joined us?" I ask her

"No, of course not. I haven't seen her in ages."

"Good, because last night she had an intruder in her house. Thankfully I was there to stop him from hurting her, but he came came through the window. After the police took him away I couldn't just leave her there so I told her she can stay at mine until she gets it fixed."

"Oh thats horrible. Is she okay?" she responds

"I think so, yeah. She's just a bit shaken up from it all." I tell her

"Well it was a good thing you were there. I'm proud of you Lena. You're not just her assistant you're her bodyguard too."

"Thank you Maria"

"You know it's the truth, you kept me safe as well."

"I can't wait to see you Maria, we'll pick you up at 1."

"Perfect. bye" she says and hangs up.

Now I have to ask Scarlett is she would mind coming with us. I don't think she will say yes considering the're friends and all. I come back to the kitchen to find it empty.

"Ms Johansson!" I yell through the apartment.

She comes out of her room.

"What is it?"

"How do you feel about the two of us going shopping today with Maria Clark?" I ask her

"That would be nice. But I didn't bring that many clothes from my place" she says

"Good for you I have a wardrobe that is packed with clothes." I tell her

"I couldn't really. You're already doing so much for me." she says playing with her necklace

"I insist, besides it is not the first time you'll be wearing my clothes." she blushes at that

It really is not. The first time she wore my clothes was when I gave her my green shirt because it was getting cold. She kept it and I don't mind honestly. I saw it one time in her office. Then after all that I kept borrowing her my jackets and shirts. She accepted them every time and I found it adorable and heart warming how it looked on her. She is shorter than me so all my clothes were kinda big on her.

"I think I'm going to take a shower before we start getting ready" she says and heads to her room.

"Hey I forgot to tell you, the shower in your room is kinda busted so you can use mine." I tell her. I still didn't fix it after the last time Maria stayed here.

I keep forgetting to call the company that installed my shower. She follows me and I tell her to use whatever she wants. I give her a robe and she goes to shower. While she's busy doing that I tidy up my room. I didn't make my bed this morning so it was time to finally do it. I wipe my vanity with some wipes and I vacuum the carpet. After that I go to find an outfit that I'll be wearing today. It is not hot today, but it isn't too hot either. I took out my black tight turtleneck and some black trousers to go with it all. I didn't want to leave it plain and simple so I got a belt and chains to go with it too. Instead of a regular purse I wen't with a fanny pack. I need to have my hands free if I want to carry everything. I plan on getting a few tops along with a few books I have on my wishlist.

The door opens and Scarlett comes out wearing just the robe from before. Her hair is wet and she just looks stunning. I can't stop looking at her. She is something else.

"I need to blow-dry my hair, where do you keep yours."

"Everything is next to the vanity. In the drawer there is also a flatning iron and a curler. In the one next to it there is also the dyson air wrap if you want to use that. The hairspray is in the bathroom if you need it. " I tell her

She thanks me and I put on my belt. The chains are to be attached afterwards so I out those on too. While I'm searching for my socks I see Scarlett drying her hair and sitting on the vanity chair in just my robe. I didn't see any underwear in her hand before she went into the shower so I'm guessing she's naked underneath.

I put on socks and search through my shoes to find me some plain trainers. I am not in a mood to wear high heels today. While contemplating what trainers to wear I am joined by her presence next to me. She stands there while I walk around to see which shoes fit the outfit best.

I turn to her and her hair is dry. She used the air wrap and it made her hair look fenomenal. I stare for a few seconds but I snap out of it once I see a concerned look on her face .

"Does it looks bad? Should I go back and fix it?" she asks

"No no it looks good" I tell her

"What would you like to wear?" I ask her

"I should probably see what you have so I know what I can work with." she says looking around

"Thats the thing. I have a lot of different types of styles in my wardrobe. On this side are warmer clothes. On that wall is the more formal attire. On the wall opposite of the warmer clothes are the shorter clothes and underneath them all are shoes for every attire. I doubt that you'll be needing those considering our height difference" I tell her and show her around.

"Did you just politely call me short?" she asks

"Maybe I did"
