"I think that's quite unfair, you know, having to take a bullet for me. Yes, I want to keep my life, I don't want to die, but your life isn't less important than mine. Your life is important too. Why did you become a bodyguard anyway?" She asked curiously still digging into her ice cream. When he mentioned that he could cook, her ears pricked up with interest.
"Cook something for me then. We have everything you can imagine. Let's see what you can make." She grinned, stopping the microwave. She could still eat the burgers. Ryleigh had always had an amazing appetite for food. She could stuff her face and nothing would be added to her hips, which she thought was great. She had meat to her bones, but wasn't fat or chubby, the only thing she didn't like about her figure was that it seemed to flat and squarish.
When he mentioned reading, Ryleigh knew what he meant. When she'd first fallen in love with books, her parents had hated it and tried to stop her. They thought she had better time on her hands for business and modelling. In the end, Ryleigh had gone to libraries to get her fix of books. And after a long battle, her parents had given up on their daughter. "Read mine. I have all the classics. And your dad isn't going to be here to say you can't. Be a rebel." She smirked.

When Ryleigh saw Matthias, she sighed. Great, even at two in the morning, she wasn't going to get a break from him. He was probably monitoring her at all hours. "I don't need babysitting all the time. No one is going to be up at this hour trying to kill me." She told him warily. "And yes, I can't sleep. And I'm hungry. I forgot to eat at dinner."
She was a girl that had a healthy appetite and didn't care what she ate. She was no means fat, but she had meat to her bones rather than being stick thin like her mother, who had tried to convince Ryleigh that she had to be the same, and failed. As she got to the fridge, she took out some juice, some burgers that needed to be reheated and lastly, moved to the freezer and took out her ice cream for dessert.
"Want anything to eat?" She asked as she put the burgers in the microwave and started to scoop the ice cream out with a spoon eating it while she waited. "I've decided on another rule. You are way too serious. You need to be a bit more relaxed. I can't deal with another serious person around me. What do you do for fun?"
If she had to put up with Matt being around, she decided that she might as well get to know him and try to be friendly with the man. He had saved her life, and though hiding the body had been wrong, maybe he'd had a good reason, she had eventually reasoned with herself. She needed to get over that. And this was how to.

That's okay! I'm busy myself trying to get all my art commission done and working. XD busy lives we hold. I will get up a reply now :)
Internet sorted!!
Ryleigh was trying her best to avoid thinking about the body or anything related to it and then Matt walked in and brought the topic up. She hated that. Now she was thinking of the body that he'd hidden. How could she have just let him do that. Maybe she could still call the police and tell them anyway. Her safety was in danger... But Matt had been hired to protect her.
"I don't need to talk about it. And I don't want to. I have studying to do. And the only people I'd want to talk about it with would be the police. What you did was wrong - hiding the body. I don't agree with it, and if it hasn't been found once I'm out of danger, then I will be telling the police." Ryleigh told Matt before focusing back on her studies.
She thought she could handle not talking about it, but Ryleigh was a fragile creature. And was just trying to stop herself from panicking over the whole situation by not thinking about it. If she thought about it, she'd panic. So instead she let Matt leave, and then got herself ready for bed once she'd spent an hour cleaning up her room, both her books and her clothes from earlier, until everything was perfect.
In the middle of the night, around 3am, Ryleigh was woken by nightmares. Sitting up in bed she sighed when she realised she was safe before getting out of bed and leaving her room. Her intended destination was the kitchen for a midnight snack.

I just want to warn you now that I'm suddenly having major internet problems. If I disappear that is why. Hopefully getting it sorted today :(
Sorry I didn't get time to reply today. I will get a reply to you tomorrow!
Ryleigh wasn't fine. But she was going to pretend to be. She was writing away, flicking pages, highlighting things as Matt entered and asked how she was. She was fine. And that's what she would tell him. It was late, and Ryleigh should have been fast asleep long before. Normally she was. But not tonight.
"I'm fine. How are you?" She asked, while scribbling something else down.
Anything to distract her from what had really happened at the party. Anything to make her forget seeing a dead man. Just anything to forget everything. It still felt wrong and unnatural that they hadn't called someone. It made her feel like she was a murderer of sorts, or that she'd helped a murderer... But Matt wasn't a murderer. He hadn't killed that man. He'd hurt him to stop him from hurting her.
"If you want to go to bed, you can. I don't need babysitting." Ryleigh was certain she was safe in her room as long as she stayed away from the window. And right now she was on her bed. Hopefully tomorrow this nightmare would be over when she woke up bright and early. To a stress free day.

That's okay, sorry in didn't reply before work like normal. I was exhausted this morning. I will get a reply up when I'm home :)
Okay, so he was mad at her. Ryleigh had been planning to reply to his comments but instead she stayed silent. She felt like a child in trouble. She felt like Matt was disappointed in her. How had she been so stupid as to follow him? It had been a stupid mistake. She really regretted it and knew that next time she'd listen. It was better not to know.
The car stopped and Ryleigh listened to Matt. He spoke about the first kill and she tried not to flinch at the admittance that he'd killed someone before. Again though, she naively thought that it was to protect someone. After all, he was a bodyguard. It gave him the right to kill if his client needed protecting and saw in danger.
"I just want to forget about it. Please, let's not talk about it. I just want to go to my room and study. I won't go near the window. I promise." Ryleigh almost sounded like a robot. But she got out the car and did as she had said. She left Matt to do what he wanted to do and she went upstairs, grabbed her books and papers from her desk, and went and sat on her massive bed with them well out of the viewpoint of the window.
It was hard to do what she wanted when someone was trying to kill her, and when she'd watched a man die. She was writing lists. Re-writing lists, making new schedules, her OCD going well over the top as a mechanism to try and cope with how messed up things were becoming. Nothing was normal and someone wanted to kill her.
