A Popstar's Bodyguard (Jenlisa)

Chapter 5

Lisa's POV

The seed has been planted.

I groan and turn around. Jennie is getting a spray tan from Ronnie and she's taking off her black bra. I have been thinking about her promise to me. She is not going to sleep with another girl. And all she wants in return is for me to do the same. Why does that make me feel warm? My cheeks heat up again.

I've never had someone come off so strong and upfront. I've also avoided getting too close to anyone in a romantic way. Caring is scary, depending on another person is scary. Being alone is safe, comfortable, and sets any risks aside. I don't see what the allure of having anyone else in your life, besides family, in my case my father, and a best friend.

The door opens up and I turn to see Min-Suk walk in. Jennie has her bra back on and looks at me for a second. Her cat eyes are so dazzling. If I stare too long, I feel this pull in my chest. It scares the living shit out of me.

Min-Suk goes over the schedule for the day: Music video, interview, dinner with some producers. These last couple of days have been packed with studio time, dance rehearsals, and award ceremonies. I wonder how she does it...and alone I might add.

Jennie looks like the type of person who needs someone to be there, emotionally at least. I can see her sometimes teetering between pretending not to care and caring too much. It has to be exhausting. Her mother calls in to check up on her sometimes but the calls have been less frequent lately. Her father is still on his yacht somewhere. She has to feel alone.

Ronnie's assistant comes in with another person carrying makeup cases, accessories, jewelry, shoes, and clothing. I'm standing by the window caught in the middle of looking at Jennie as she tries on multiple things and looking away so they don't catch me gawking. All I know is that I will never work for another popstar as long as I live.

Once she has chosen her tight pink dress and red heels, Ronnie starts to do her makeup. Jennie catches me looking at her from her mirror and blushes. I turn away again. Fuck. If only I didn't let her get in my head. This girl is going to get me in trouble.

Why am I letting some senseless words ring in my head over and over again? Maybe I just need to sleep with someone. It has been a couple of months now. I'm sure I can find someone willing, just one night, get it out of my system and move on. Will I be able to kiss them without thinking of her? Touch them without wishing it was her? Fuck.

"We're ready for her." Min-Suk looks up from his phone.

Jennie puts on some jewelry and turns to look at me. I walk past her to open the door and bite my tongue before saying something stupid.

We're on a large rooftop of a building, there is a helicopter and a lot of people running around with cameras and electronic equipment. I see Jackson standing across the roof and nod his way.

Some guy dressed in a white shirt, black jeans and a ton of chains walks up to Jennie. His hands wrap around her waist and he kisses her very close to her mouth. She yells his name and wraps her arms around him. It takes me a while to realize they're both going to be in the music video. After a couple of minutes everyone takes their place and they stand in front of the helicopter.

The time drags on, I don't think I have ever wanted something to end as soon as it started. His hands are all over her. I have to cross my arms and put on my shades. He basically gropes her as she dances around him and the crowd is eating it up.

The producer is yelling words of encouragement, her dancers are hyping her up, and I see heads bobbing. They change two more times and shoot the next two scenes at an abandoned warehouse and some rich person's home.
