Chapter 2
IN SEARCH OF A BODYGUARD
I woke up the next morning feeling sour all over. I hold my head because it look like it will soon fall off.
“Awwwww” I cried rubbing my temple.
“Having hangover? Here take this” Ruth said handing me some drugs.
“Get it out of my face .. I don’t eat drugs… I’ll be fine. Where am I?” I asked lying down again
“My house… you where too drug last night you even put an innocent guy in trouble”
“What!?… did I…” just then I heard a voice in my head “prince don’t leave me… Prince you’re mean”. ‘Wait wait wait whose voice is that?, it sounds like mine and… ‘ I finally remembered as I jump off the bed and landed on the floor holding my head.
“Am dead… oh no Gem you’ve done another thing” I cried rubbing my legs on the floor like a little child.
“It’s okay thanks God he was a gentleman” Ruth said
“We have to find him… let me personally apologize” I said
“He doesn’t seem like he want to meet you again… I told him we’ll like to apologize properly in the future but he said he doesn’t want to see us again”.
“awk… good good” I said and climb the bed again “And schedule for me today?”
“No… no you’ll just be rehearsing your script with me… will wait until the agencies what to meet the role takers” she said. “Uhmm… Gem about Jolene why don’t you want people to know she’s your adoptive sister?” asked Ruth
“How did you know?” I asked
“You kind of told me everything last night when you were drunk” she said
“Keep this a secret… and now that you know about my deepest secret… Please don’t betray me” I said
“I swear with my life… and I want us to be close too trust me Gem. I’ll be of much help to you” Ruth said
I look at her and I could see the sincerity in her I nodded. “Then can I call you sister Ruth?” I asked. Ruth was a little older than me.
“Ok…”
