Christian got a phone called from one of the bodyguards that were supposed to be with his father and Uncle Rudy. He passed the phone to Jeanohntae to answer it. She looked confused so Christian explained. "That is one of the bodyguards that were supposed to be with our dads."
Jeanohntae understood and answered his phone. "Hello!??" She said in a sweet voice. The bodyguard had a confused expression on his face. "Uhh… hello is this the madam Jeanohntae that is with Mr. Maddox!??" The bodyguard asked politely.
"Yes it is." She responded sweetly. The bodyguard sighed and said. "Ma'am, would it be okay to give Mr. Maddox the phone!?? It is really important that I'm afraid I don't want to worry you right now."
Jeanohntae was a little confused, but she insisted. "He's driving right now. Could you please tell me what's wrong!??" The bodyguard did not want to refuse Jeanohntae request, so he gave in and sighed helplessly. "Madam, I'm afraid it's bad news."
Jeanohntae was starting to get scared. "What's wrong!?? Did something happen to our dads!??" Christian heard her words and glanced in her direction. She looked scared. The bodyguard on the other end hesitated for a minute before responding.
"I'm afraid so ma'am. Your dads got into a car crash. Jeanohntae freaked out. "WHAT!??" She yelled making Christian hit the brakes. Christian took the phone and placed it on speaker.
The bodyguard tried to reassure Jeanohntae. "They're okay though. We were just heading back home when a car came out of nowhere and hit them. They are in the emergency room right now. It wasn't serious but they both have a concussion. We managed to shield them with our car before they got hit again."
Christian took the phone off speaker and his eyes darkened. "You tell the doctor to give them a full body check up wether they need it or not. We're heading there right now." Christian did not make the bodyguard speak and hung up the phone.
He looked over at Jeanohntae who was wiping away her tears. "They're okay sweetheart. Let's go check on them." Jeanohntae nodded and they made their way to the hospital.
When they got there. Christian parked the car and Jeanohntae got out and ran inside. She knew it wasn't serious, but she was still worried. Before she could run to one of the nurses, she ran into one of the bodyguards.
"Where's my father and uncle Joseph!??" The bodyguard knew who Jeanohntae was and showed her the way. When she got in the room, she saw Rudy and Joseph sitting on the bed laughing. She sighed in relief.
When they saw her, they started laughing at her expression. "Jean, why do you look like that!?? It was only minor. You look like you have been running a marathon." Rudy teased his daughter. The two on the bed started laughing, but instantly stopped when Christian walked in looking furious.
Jeanohntae knew Christian was behind her but did not turn around. She too was angry. She walked up to Rudy and Joseph and smacked them in the back of their head. "I cannot believe the two of you could sit there and joke about something like that. You stupid old fools have really lost your minds."
They held their heads and Joseph started complaining. "Jean, you can't pick on old people who have a concussion." Jeanohntae wasn't buying it. "Concussion or not, I will do it again. You guys are acting like it was nothing."
Jeanohntae wanted to keep scolding them, but Christian lifted her up and turned to their dads. "We'll get you guys discharged and we'll go home." He walked out with Jeanohntae while she struggled to get free. "Chris, put me down. I was not done."
Christian walked to the car and set her down inside. "You can continue that at home. Let's not make it harder on the staffs. Let them hurry up and discharge them so we can scold them at home."
Jeanohntae was still a little upset but decided to agree. Jeanohntae saw the bodyguards that was with her dad and her Uncle Joseph. She got out of the car and started walking to them. Christian too got out of the car and saw where she was going. He started following her and took long strides; he caught up instantly.
The bodyguards stopped when they saw them walking in their directions. They bowed their heads in unison. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Maddox. We are sorry for not doing our jobs perfectly."
Jeanohntae blushed and Christian smiled. "That's alright, no need to apologize. Thank you all for saving them. We are grateful for what you guys did. You did your jobs perfectly." Jeanohntae express her gratitude and shook all their hands.
One of the bodyguards stood forward and bowed. "Mrs. Maddox, my name is Lennie. I am the head security. I am sorry that Mr. Maddox and Mr. Babauta got injured. I know it may not have been serious, but to us, we have failed at our jobs in protecting them."
Jeanohntae could not believe they would call her Mrs. Maddox. She did not want to tell them they weren't dating, because she thought they wouldn't respect her. "You can just call me Ms. Jean, there is no need to be so formal. However, you have not failed at your jobs. Yes they got injured, but I rather see them alive."
Lennie and the rest of the bodyguards bowed. "Thank you Ms. Jean."
Christian stood forward and all the bodyguards trembled. They thought they would lose their jobs. They held their breaths while Christian spoke. "Thank you all so much. We are so grateful. We are in your debt, so please don't hesitate to let us know if you need something." All the bodyguards were frozen in disbelief. They did not know their boss would speak to them kindly.
They bowed again. "Thank you Mr. Maddox. We are thankful." The bodyguards we finally able to breathe when Christian and Jeanohntae left. They all thought they would lose their jobs. Especially Lennie, he was the boss of security and has been working under the Maddox family for years and he really did not want to leave.
An hour had passed when Joseph and Rudy walked out. They got into the car and they all went home. The car ride was silent, due to Rudy and Joseph being scared to speak and Jeanohntae would get mad at them.
They finally reached home and Jeanohntae stormed in the house not looking back. Leah looked stunned seeing Jeanohntae looking mad. "Ms. Jean, are you okay!?? Would you like supper!??"
Jeanohntae gave a small smile. "I'm okay. No need to worry about me, I have no appetite at the moment." Leah nodded and went back to doing what she was doing.
Jeanohntae went upstairs not wanting to talk to them. She closed the door and threw herself on the bed. About 30 minutes of Christian lecturing Joseph and Rudy, he walked in and found Jeanohntae laying on the bed staring into space.
Christian did not want to say anything to Jeanohntae. He wanted her to calm down first. Christian opened the bathroom door to take a shower. Before he stepped inside, Jeanohntae called out to him. "Chris!??"
Christian turned around to look at the tiny figure on the bed. He did not know if he should respond, so he stood there waiting for her to speak. After about a minute, Jeanohntae turned to Christian. "Was I a little hard on them!?? If I was, I just wanted them to understand that I was worried."
Christian sighed and walked to Jeanohntae. He knelt down in front of her and held her hand. "Jean, they understand perfectly. They knew it wasn't funny, but they were just trying to lighten the mood. Don't worry about it now. I already gave them a good lecture. None of them is allowed to leave the house for the next two weeks."
Jeanohntae started to chuckle and nodded. Christian was relieved to see Jeanohntae smiling. "Okay now, you lay down and get some rest. I'm gonna go take a shower." Christian stood up so Jeanohntae can lay down. He covered her with the blanket and went into the bathroom.
When Christian was done showering, he came out and saw Jeanohntae sleeping. He smiled and laid down beside her.
