THE POPSTAR’S BODYGUARD CHAPTER EIGHTY
Coming HomeNEOTwo hours later Daniel and I landed in LA. The flight had been the most awkward thing ever, the only words we exchanged being about where I was going. I stared out the window as our driver navigated the familiar streets. I used to know every turn by heart. Back when my schedule still allowed vacations, this had been the one place I could escape the noise.Not anymore.The gates rolled open with a soft hum.My stomach tightened.“We’re here.” The driver announced.I remained glued to the seat, unmoving, until Daniel reached for the door first, glancing back at meWith a sigh, I climbed out.The front door opened before we could knock.“Neo.”Her smile was so bright it almost caught me off guard.She hurried down the short walkway and wrapped her arms around me.“You came.”My body stiffened before I returned the hug.“Hi, Mom.”Her eyes drifted past my shoulder, eyebrows furrowing. “And you brought a friend?” “He’s my bodyguard. Daniel.”“Oh.” She smiled politely.Dan

Unspoken Apologies NEOThe water dripped from my face, gliding down my body and into the drain as I braced both of my hands on the bathroom wall. I’d lost count of how many minutes or hours I've been in here. I only knew my feet hurt and I was starting to get cold. I turned off the faucet and snatched a towel from the railing, stepping out. I hadn’t thought I’d be meeting Mia again, not after how I left that day because of a certain idiot who didn't know what he wanted. So when I saw her again, I decided to be a bit petty. And I couldn’t believe I’d managed to force a reaction out of Daniel. My actions had been mainly based on impulse and frustration from my feelings. I hadn’t even planned it, and somehow, he’d taken the bait.The look on his face when my hand settled on Mia’s waist would probably stay with me for a long time. Why had he looked so angry though?It shouldn't matter.So why did I keep replaying it?The ringing of my phone yanked me out of thought, the sound too lo

Losing ControlDANIELI hated clubs.The music was always too loud, and the bodies packed together weren’t my thing. Too many people came here to lose control and, in the process, themselves. Nothing about that sat right with me. Losing control came with irreversible consequences, and I had no intention of ever taking that risk. Yet here I was, weaving through the crowd of people at this club, following that one person who had made it his life’s mission to irritate the fuck out of me. I couldn't even blame him. I’d handled the beach all wrong, even though I only wanted to apologize. I’d known the moment he’d walked away from me that he didn't want to see my face, and somehow, I’d only made it worse by following him here.Even if I wanted to give him space, I couldn’t. Because I couldn't compromise his safety.“Neo,” the bartender called, a young guy with neck tattoos who looked like he should be working for a magazine rather than a club. “What a surprise.”Neo slid into the stool,

You Are My BusinessNEODaniel’s full form came into view, and I whipped my head back to the direction of the sea before his gaze on me could get under my skin. “Sorry I’m late.” His deep baritone voice drifted to my ear and I tried to avoid how it made my insides clench. “Hi Daniel,” Sasha said to him, rising to her feet. “It’s been a while hasn’t it?”I could almost picture his face behind me, trying to be polite but not wanting to smile either. Don’t think about that.“Yeah, it’s good to see you again.” His voice sounded awkward, almost as if he didn’t know what to say. I was still facing the sea, not ready to see his face yet. Tension rolled like the sea in front of us, and Sasha might have noticed, because she said almost immediately. “Guys, I’m gonna go get some drinks.” She gave me a light tap on the back before she disappeared from my sight. And just like that, I was forced to face what I’d been avoiding all day.“You left without me,” Daniel said behind me, his voice

Say It Or Don’t NEO“What’s with you? You’re brooding?”Sasha didn't look up when she asked, only kept scrolling through her phone and sliding her glasses into her hair. She’d called that she was around, and I didn't feel like staying at the Penthouse, so I suggested we come to the beach. I thought it’d help calm my nerves and my terrible mood, but obviously, it didn't.I sighed for the umpteenth time since we got here, staring at the waves rolling in and how peaceful it looked compared to my head. “I’ve not been brooding.”She finally put her phone down and turned her head slightly to face me, sunglasses sliding down her pointed nose. “You’ve been quiet and sighing for twenty minutes. If that’s not brooding, I don’t know what it is.”I stretched in the beach lounger, reaching for my cocktail and taking a sip. “That’s called resting.”“It’s called avoidance,” she corrected easily, tying her braids into a bun and sitting up. I clicked my tongue and leaned back on my elbows, the br

Forgotten SinsDANIELNeo didn't try to stop me again, instead, he left quietly and let the door close behind him. That should’ve made things easier.It didn't. Instead, it made me feel like I'd committed a grave sin. I pulled my helmet on harder than necessary, started the engine, and let the familiar rumble fill the silence. Usually, riding cleared my head. Today, every mile only replayed the same look on Neo’s face. Stop acting like you know what’s best for me. The words had come out sharper than I’d intended. He hadn’t argued like he’d usually do. Hadn’t rolled his eyes either. He simply stepped aside.Somehow that felt worse. I twisted the throttle and pulled onto the road, trying to outrun the guilt gnawing at my insides before it had the chance to settle. By the time I parked outside the nursing home, the ache in my shoulder had been replaced by the familiar knot in my stomach whenever I came here.“Can I speak to Miss Caroline?” I said to the receptionist at the table,

Echoes I Can’t EscapeNEOThe hallway felt louder than it had any right to be. Maybe it was the fans. Perhaps it was Vivian’s voice echoing from somewhere ahead.But I knew the real noise was inside my head.I kept walking, pretending everything was fine. Pretending I wasn’t still shaking on the in

At The RooftopDANIELI shouldn’t have let him walk off alone.I knew the moment he stood up from that table, he was seconds away from falling apart. Neo hid things well. He must have had years of practice, but his eyes always gave him away. Everytime.And right now, they were glassy and distant, a

What I Shouldn’t Feel NEOThat was the plan. Get laid, forget, move on.Simple enough. Except it was pushing past midnight, and I was still here, wide awake, staring at the ceiling like an idiot.The more I tried not to think about him, the harder it got. Every sound from the next room made it wor

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
