She is Beautiful

Jace's POV

It was six months ago. Now I am ready to face the final battle, I am excited to meet her in person, but I have to be part of the top five. The remaining candidates dropped to fifty, and I am glad for the past six months of training. I am always number one on both physical and mental examinations.

I wonder why we must study proper etiquette, a different spoon to be used during the meal, to protect the Heiress. For me, the only important factor is to be on our guard. During our training, they informed us to be in the shadow since Ms. White did not want to be seen with her bodyguards. For instance, if she will go shopping, we will wear regular clothes, like ordinary shoppers. Then the funniest thing we also need to be enrolled as a student at her University, that is why our batch is composed of young adults, with an age range from twenty-two to twenty-five.

"I can't wait for tomorrow, Jace! Are you nervous about it?" Asked Charles. He is one of my tough competitors, and he is brilliant and good in combat too. We always end up being paired together.

"Yeah! I have never been excited like this." I said, we are sitting outside the training ground, most of our fellow trainees retired to their beds early, I have ever loved watching the sunset every afternoon on the horizon, the facility is so big, we have our room each with private bathroom, we were all provided with MacBook and the latest iPhone edition.

The shooting range is spacious, and we can practice all we want. I harness my shooting ability in just two months. They called me the sharpshooter of our batch. I know I am good. I am just not sure if Mr. White will be impressed with me.

"Me too, you see what? I am more excited, meeting the Heiress. I am just wondering why all her photos in the magazines and on the news pictures are always sideways, and she never looks at the camera." Charles said.

"I heard she doesn't want to have pictures on social media after the kidnapping incident. During her teenage years, she is so proud being the daughter of Mr. Thomas White." I said, I studied my homework, I researched everything I can discover about her, but all news about her you can get on the internet is five years ago, no updates about her life for the past years, which I find odd.

Even on her eighteenth birthday, you can only see the guests and the magnificent reception, and the picture of her back figure, she didn't look at the camera, she became so private, and that's what makes me more curious, I hate her period.

"Well, some of my friends mentioned she is filthy rich because she is the Heiress, and the most exciting part, they claimed she was super hot and beautiful, has pretty legs and a face like an angel," Charles said.

"Whatever, Charles, we are here to protect her, not to ogle her. Besides, I am just here for the check, and I will do my job. After six months or one year, I will be out of here. Always remember, the wealthy are consistently strong. They will usually treat us like a scumbag because, for them, they are paying us good money." I said.

"Well, I believe they are still human Jace, we don't perceive what her real deal is, you know we can't judge her yet, we haven't seen her, maybe you will be the first one who will fall for her, rule number one you can never date the boss's daughter." He said, then we both laugh.

"You want to bet, bro? I will never like someone like her, Charles. Besides, she is way out of my league. I am just sure I will never love her. How much more to die for her. I know what my type of girl is, and Miracle White is not one of them. I need a miracle to fall for her." I said.

"Wow! You are too young to be so serious, Jace, I am just saying, and I am glad you will not be one of my rivals for her attention, because of all the men here, you will be the greatest competitor, you know, in terms of looks, built and wits. We are still young anyway, and we need to explore and enjoy life. I will go ahead. Great luck for tomorrow, don't take it seriously, Jace." Charles said.

"Same to you, buddy, good luck. If you want to be out then, it's up to you if you are going to hook up with her." I said, then I smiled at him. Then he turned around, leading to his room.

At first light, all the trainees wake up, and we do our daily routine. We run for three miles, and we eat our breakfast, then we assembled in front of the drill ground.

I am so eager to see them, for how many years I have been waiting for this opportunity. Then we heard the loud noise of the approaching helicopter. It lands on the airfield in the center of the training grounds. We didn't move. We are in attention formation.

Then I look at her, Charles is right, Miracle White is a beauty of perfection, Miracle has a body that a man could die for, even she is only wearing simple skinny jeans with a white T-shirt, she looks so hot, she stands one hundred sixty-five centimeters more or less, her curly light auburn hair makes her face more seductive.

The moment she smiles at Mr. Roger, I almost had a heart attack. Her smile alone could make my soul ache. Damn, I never expected her to be this beautiful. Her beauty was just the same when she was in her teens, maybe she is now twenty or twenty-one, but she turned into a very alluring woman. The way she carries herself is so fluid and with absolute grace because she has been born with a silver spoon in her mouth. I can't take my eyes away from her, and this is not good. I need to focus on that I hate her. Damn, what I am thinking.

Then our eyes meet. I can feel my pulse is racing, and I can't handle the rapid heartbeat of my heart. I never felt this kind of attraction to anyone before, and I can sense my face is turning red. I don't know how I am going to control the shaking of my hands.

I need to figure out something to stop myself from daydreaming about her. What is wrong with me. I am popular with girls during my high school years, even during my college days, but I don't know why I experience this kind of feeling. I don't believe in love at first sight, but I think everything I have learned about love will change.

"Gentlemen, I would want to congratulate all of you on reaching this far from five thousand applicants, excluding the unqualified. I want to thank you for your interest in joining our Elite Bodyguards team." Mr. Roger said, looking at us.

"If they do not choose you today, you can still re-apply next year after six months or after one year, and our recruitment department will be happy to assist you again. Maybe this is not your time yet. Good luck to all of you."

Mr. Roger said he gives us a warm and encouraging smile.

"You have already known the primary reason, why you are here, to protect our employer at all times. Whoever we will choose today, you will report tomorrow at the White estate to start your official first day as members of the Elite Bodyguards.

"To determine the top ten, we have to decide, by how well your shooting skills are, in that way, you will make us sure, that you can protect the White family. After choosing the ten eligible candidates, Mr. White will interview you himself, and by Ms. Mira, after that, I will select the final five new Elite Bodyguards, am I clear?" Mr. Roger shouted.

"Sir! Yes! Sir!" We all shouted in return.

"Okay! I want to request everyone to proceed to the shooting range." Mr. Roger instructed us. We all follow his instructions. I can see Charles keep turning his head to see Mira. I can't control myself from smiling since I want to do the same, but I don't want her to think I am interested in her. While it is still early, I need to keep my distance to make this feeling disappear.

I can't control myself from feeling so nervous. Why Ms. White has to interview the top five? I am not sure yet if I will be part of the top ten, but based on my shooting skills, I know I can make it, but what I am terrified of is to be interviewed by her.
