Unpredictable

The Threat

"So to sum up, her name is Maya and she will be your new bodyguard for the next year. Any questions? Good, I better be off" Meghan said, before turning to leave.
"What?"
"How old is she?"
"When did we ask for a bodyguard?"
"But she's so tiny, how is she going to 'protect' us?"
Among the many comments of disbelief that last one stung the most, and of course it came from none other than Luke Hemmings himself. I glared at him coldly.
"Oh yeah, try me" I replied coolly, to which he laughed. In 4 swift movements I covered the distance between us and grabbed him by the arm. Quickly, before he could react I spun him around so his back was to me and then I pulled his arm , hard, towards me, ducking down at the right moment so he would flip over. Then using his weight and height against him I pushed him down to the floor leaving him winded and speechless. In the next 5 seconds his face managed to go from disbelief, to awe, to embarrassment and then anger. I heard faint roars of laughter and applause coming from the other three boys and a tut of annoyance from Meghan.
"Okay, now that Maya has proved herself to you I really must be going." And with that she slipped out of the door leaving me with 4 immature man children.
"Did you see the way she flipped him over?" I heard Calum shout, wiping away tears.
"Yes I think we all saw a trained bodyguard attack an unarmed, unsuspecting celebrity" Luke snapped loudly.
"Bitch please, she handed you your arse on a plate" Michael sasses. Luke glares at him in return.
"For the record I did warn you beforehand" I smirked, pleased to see Luke so embarrassed for once.

He slowly got up, towering over me again.
"Oh please, we only know you decided to flip me over because you don't know how to deal with the sexual tension between us" He said. I didn't know what to say to that so instead I looked down, trying to stop the heat rising to my cheeks.
"Fuck you!" I said, trying to control my anger. Who did this guy think he was? Just because he could sing and was ever so slightly attractive he thought that women should kiss the ground he walked on and thank him for letting them be in his fucking presence. No, I refuse to let him get to me.
"Anytime" He replied under his breathe. I glanced up at him once more before I turned and gave him the finger.

After the episode I had with Luke this morning I was determined to avoid him unless a guy came in and tried to shoot him, then maybe I would help.
I walked out to the kitchen to grab a snack and heard footsteps behind me, I turned around hoping (praying) it wasn't the man whore himself, to my relief it was only Ashton.
"Hi" he smiled at me.
"It's not hi it's hey!" A muffled voice shouted from the direction of the couch, who I could only assume was Michael.
"Banter" I heard Ashton shout back. I sighed at their antics, this was going to be a long year.
"So I wanted to apologise for Luke being such an arse earlier, normally he's not that bad I just think that being away from Arzaylea is making him moodier lately" I nodded in response, thinking about what he just said.
"Don't they call and FaceTime though" I asked, unimpressed with the excuse given.
"Well I guess, but being a guy I think that his frustration is more about the fact he is only allowed to talk to her and not meet her in person" Ashton said, wiggling his eyebrows.
" Oh" I replied. "I thought you guys had on-call groupies to get rid of that need" I laughed.
"We did. Until we received that threat, now we aren't allowed to go anywhere, do anything or talk to anyone unless we have been allowed by management to talk to them" I nodded again, understanding.
"So this threat?" I questioned, curious.
"Yeah we all received one a month ago, at exactly the same time. It was quite scary because no one is supposed to know our personal numbers besides family and management. But anyway, we all got the same message that basically said " If we go anywhere or perform again someone is going to get seriously hurt. I personally think it's a bunch of bullshit. I mean it's not like we don't get hate and threats all the time but this one seemed to really spook everyone out" He shrugged.
" Wow" I said, absorbing the new information "so that's why they hired me, to protect you from this crazy fan"
"Pretty much. Which might be another reason why Luke is being extra douche lately"
"Yeah, I guess" I sighed "Thanks for letting me know Ashton" I smiled wearily, I didn't understand why Luke hated me so much.
"No problem, if it makes you feel any better we like you being here" he said, smiling back at me.
" Really, all of you? You sure about that?" I replied, sarcastically.
"Just ignore Luke, I'm sure he will get used to you being around" He frowned " I think he's not used to being told what to do, most of the time he does whatever he wants"
"I'll keep that in mind" I said quietly, lost in thought.
"Hey, you're doing a good job so far, no ones died yet" He joked before pulling me into a hug.
I laughed before hugging back, inhaling his scent, he smelt like vanilla mixed with after shave. I pulled back, shaking my head.
"I'm the one who's supposed to be comforting and protecting you" I objected to which laughed.
"Potato, Potarto" He joked again, trying and failing miserably to put on an American accent.
"Now down to business, who fancies takeout?"

Within minutes all four boys were sitting at the kitchen table, a wide grin plastered on all their faces. Ashton started rummaging though the takeout draw as they called it while Calum grabbed the phone. Luke still grinning but less so when he realises I'm in the room. He stares at me until his face has dropped to adapt a cold glare. What was it with this boy and his mood swings? And why did he hate me so much? I promised myself I was going to find out.
