The Bodyguard of the Celebrities

Chapter 48: Thomas's Dilemma

It was a sunny morning in Los Angeles, and Thomas was sitting on Kendall's porch, looking out at the skyline while drinking his coffee. The Vogue cover was still the talk of the town, and despite all the success and attention it brought, he remained down to earth, keeping a low profile as always. He didn't give interviews, declined talk show invitations, and avoided any kind of additional exposure. For Thomas, the focus was always on his job—protecting, not showing off.

As he watched the birds flying back and forth, his cell phone rang. It was an unknown number. He hesitated for a moment before answering.

— "Thomas here," he answered in his firm, direct tone.

— "Hello, Thomas! This is Rob from Taylor Swift's security team. I know you're a bit reserved, but we received a recommendation from you and would like to invite you to join our security team during Taylor's tour in Brazil. Your track record is impeccable and we think you would be an incredible addition to the team."

Thomas was silent for a moment. Working with Taylor Swift? It was a huge opportunity, especially on a high-profile tour like this. However, he couldn't ignore the public feud that existed between Taylor Swift and the Kardashian-Jenner family, of which Kendall was a member. Although he was a professional and always kept his cool, this was a delicate situation.

— "I really appreciate the invitation, Rob. I'll think about it and get back to you soon, okay?"

— "Sure, no rush. We'll wait for your response. It would be an honor to have you with us."

Thomas hung up the phone, thinking about what had just happened. He knew he needed to talk to Kendall before making any decisions. He didn't want her to interpret his acceptance as disloyalty, but at the same time, he couldn't ignore the opportunity it represented.

A few minutes later, Kendall walked out onto the porch, her hair still messy from having just woken up.

"Good morning," she said, smiling as she stretched and sat down next to him.

"Good morning," Thomas replied, trying to find the right moment to bring up the subject.

They chatted casually for a few minutes until Thomas finally decided to bring it up.

"Kendall, I need to tell you about something."

Kendall looked at him with a curious expression.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Thomas took a deep breath before continuing.

"I got a call earlier today. It was from Taylor Swift's security team. They invited me to work with her on her tour in Brazil."

Kendall's face changed instantly. She knew the tension between her family and Taylor Swift. The public feud, the tabloid statements, and the social media discussions were still fresh in the public's minds, even though it had been a few years.

— "Taylor Swift?" Kendall asked, clearly surprised. "And what did you say?"

— "I said I would think about it and that I would get back to you soon. Kendall, I know there is all this history between her and your family, and I don't want it to affect our relationship. But at the same time, this is a great job opportunity. I'm here because I respect you, and I want to know what you think about it."

Kendall was silent for a moment, pondering what Thomas had just said. She knew Thomas was an impeccable professional who always did his job with the utmost integrity. Plus, she admired the way he was being honest and transparent, discussing this with her before making any decisions.

— "Look, Thomas," Kendall began calmly, "I understand that this is an incredible opportunity for you, and I don't want you to feel trapped because of some silly fight that happened in the past. The feud between Taylor and my family... well, it's been a long time coming. We're not close, but I'm not someone who's going to stop you from taking a job because of it."

She smiled, trying to reassure him.

— "If you think it's the right thing to do, then go ahead. I trust you. I know you're loyal to me, and that's what matters."

Thomas felt a sense of relief at hearing Kendall's words. He knew this would be a test for their relationship, but her response was all he needed.

— "Thank you, Kendall. Your opinion means a lot to me, and I would never do anything to disrespect you or your family."

Kendall smiled again, this time with more affection.

— "I know that. And who knows, maybe this will help me put the past behind me."

After the conversation, Thomas decided to call Taylor Swift's team back, accepting their invitation to be part of her security team during her tour in Brazil. The decision was made with the confidence that, even amid past tensions, he could perform his role professionally and, most importantly, keep his relationship with Kendall intact.

The news that Kendall Jenner's bodyguard and former DEVGRU member Thomas had been asked to work with Taylor Swift. Tabloids quickly began to speculate about the Kardashian-Jenner family's reaction.

— "Kendall and Thomas on opposing sides? Kendall's bodyguard now protecting Taylor Swift during Brazil tour!" read a headline on Page Six.

In the comments section of social media, fans of both sides were unsure how to react. Some thought this could reignite the old rivalry, while others believed that since it was a professional issue, there would be no major implications.

— "Will Kendall get jealous? 🤔," posted one user on Twitter, accompanied by a montage of Kendall and Taylor side by side.

Others, however, admired Kendall's maturity in supporting Thomas, showing that she would not let old issues interfere with something so important to him.

— "I applaud Kendall for letting Thomas pursue his career. That shows a lot of confidence and trust! #TeamKendall," another fan posted.

Meanwhile, Thomas kept his focus on work. He knew that media attention was inevitable, but he remained steadfast in his low profile. For him, his mission was simple: to ensure the safety of his clients and protect their lives, just as he had done for so many years on missions around the world.

When he finally embarked for Brazil, he was ready for yet another challenge. He knew he would be in the spotlight, but above all, he was ready to show that, regardless of his past or rivalries, his loyalty and professionalism were unquestionable.

And, of course, he always knew that Kendall would be by his side, supporting his decisions and understanding his need to move forward with his career.
