THE POPSTAR’S BODYGUARD CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Barely BreathingDANIEL’S POVThe ride to Oxford Street was quiet, just like any other ride I’d had with Neo. He had his phone in hand, texting Sasha, probably to tell her we were close. Outside the window, lights shone brightly in greys and gold. It was late afternoon, but the lighting still stood out. I kept my eyes on the road ahead, more out of habit than necessity. Old instinct. Not scanning my surroundings made me uneasy. What if danger was lurking somewhere?By the time we got there, Oxford Street was buzzing with life. Flashing signs, tourists new to the city with their shopping bags, and the constant hum of chatter. Cars honked on the busy streets as people moved about. Not exactly the best place for someone like Neo to be, but try telling him that.He tugged the black hoodie he’d picked up before we left over his head and slipped on a cap. It wouldn’t fool anyone who knew him for long, but I guess it made him feel normal. Sasha was waiting outside Selfridges with a paper cup

Some Things Don’t ChangeNEO’S POVSasha stirred her coffee slowly, the spoon clinking against the glass. “You still take it black?” she asked, smiling like it was an inside joke.“You mean coffee? Some things just don’t change,” I replied, although too many things had.Watching her now felt strange. Familiar, yet foreign at the same time. We’d met years ago at Briarley Academy, a performing arts school known for producing multiple talents each year. She already had that magnetic look back then—all confidence and bouncy Afro hair, sneaking into photography labs and turning every hallway into a runway. I was just another kid with a guitar and a head full of noise.She used to tease my singing, saying I sang like I was hiding something. Maybe she was right.“You’ve come a long way,” she said now, taking me out of my thoughts. She traced a circle on the rim of her cup and let out a puffy breath.“I still remember that open mic where your mic fell halfway through your set.”That was one o

STRAIGHT TALKDANIEL’S POVSasha’s voice cut through the noise, smooth and familiar, and I saw Neo’s shoulders drop before he even turned around.“Sasha?” he said, smiling.She crossed the studio floor in a tan coat and boots that looked like they cost more than my paycheck, her energy filling the space before she even spoke. Cameras were being packed up, crew scattering, but somehow it felt like all the light in the room had shifted to her—brown glowy skin with afro hair that screamed with class.“Surprise,” she said, hugging him. “Heard you were in London. Thought I’d drop by before my shoot.”Of course, she had a shoot, Sasha Williams, top agency model, and the face of half the fashion world. Still, she looked more like a friend than a brand right now. Warm. Familiar. The kind of comfort Neo hadn’t had in a while.He smiled, a real one this time. “I thought you were in Milan.”“Was. Got transferred here for a campaign. You look… tired.”“Comes with the job,” he said.Her smile soft

The Morning SpotlightNEO’S POVThe ride back to the hotel felt longer than usual. The city lights kept sliding across Daniel’s face from the driver’s seat, throwing flashes of gold over his jawline. He hadn’t said a word since we left.“You’re quiet,” I said finally, leaning my head back.“So are you,” he replied.“I just sang for two hours straight,” I muttered.A small sound came from him, half a laugh, half a sigh. “Fair.”Silence again. The hum of the car filled the space. I looked out the window at the fans still gathered on the sidewalks, waving signs even though it was almost midnight.“Vivian said interviews start at nine tomorrow,” I said, just to say something.“I know.”“Of course you do.”He glanced at me through the rearview mirror. “You saying I’m too uptight?”I shrugged, smirking faintly. “You said it, not me.”He didn’t answer, but I saw his mouth twitch like he was fighting a smile.Still, something about him tonight felt different. Sharper. Watchful. I wanted to as

He Wanted To Be SeenDaniel’s POVI dashed toward the entrance of the venue, where several people shouted and screamed Neo’s name. The figure in black was quick, and before I could push through the crowd, he had already run out. Looking to my left, there was nothing—just a group of people walking and laughing. Then, to my right, I spotted someone wearing black attire with a black hoodie, walking casually down the street.I took off after him, my heart pounding in my chest. When I finally reached him, I grabbed his shoulder, spun him around and shoved him against the nearest wall, my arm pressing across his neck.“Who the fuck are you?” I demanded, pressing harder, my breath hot with fury.The man’s eyes went wide with fear. “W–Wait! I’m just a fan! I swear!”“Don’t lie to me. You were watching him.”“I was recording the show, look!” he stammered, fumbling with his phone. The screen flashed with shaky footage of Neo onstage.I released my arm from his neck. “Sorry. I thought you were

Eyes In The CrowdNEO’S POVThe penthouse was already a mess before sunrise scattered clothes, cords, and latte cups. The team had arrived earlier, moving around like ants—packing, shouting, fixing things that didn’t need fixing. I’d woken up early too; I couldn’t sleep well last night. After a while, we were finally ready to go.I sat by the window, watching rain slide down the glass. Same weather as last night. Guess the sky didn’t get the memo that I was supposed to be back on tour.Daniel stood near the window, dressed and ready as always. I couldn’t help but notice how he looked—composed and quiet. His short hair was brushed and neat. It fit him. He looked calm, as always.“The car’s waiting,” he said.I didn’t move, just kept staring into nothing. “You ever get bored with watching me go through all this?”He didn’t look at me.“It’s your job.”“That’s not what I asked.” His jaw tightened.“Then stop asking things you already know the answer to.”Fair enough. I grabbed my jacket
