The bodyguard || Billie Eilish

Trance

Billies POV
The first thing I noticed about the woman standing by the car was how silver her eyes were.... like hypnotizing pools of liquid silver. Second was her tattoos and damn she had a lot of them. Her arms were completely covered and I could see a few here and there behind her ears and on the back of her neck. Her tight black security uniform covered the rest but I could tell that she probably had tattoos covering most of her body. Her body was very toned with strong looking shoulders and she stood with such confidence.
She had a deep jagged scar that ran from hair hairline, straight through one of her eyebrows, and yet it totally suited her. Her long platinum blonde hair was pulled into a messy bun with a few loose strands floating around her ears and face. Her features were fucking striking and yet she was still feminine and gentle. I couldn't deny she was gorgeous.
I don't know how long I was staring at her. Fuck I hope she didn't notice. What am I even saying... I'm straight. Straight girls can appreciate a gorgeous woman though right?
Ah fuck I don't know.

"You must be Taylor. My manager said he spoke with your boss and you're apparently the best bouncer here! An understatement I'd say" My heart was pounding. This girl just looks so intense. I'm tryna play it cool so hard but fuck I don't know if I can keep my shit together around her. What the fuck is going on with me tonight?

"Oh well that's super nice of him to say haha. I guess I'm pretty good at my job yeah haha" she stuttered a little but managed to keep a straight face.

"Cool! Well looks like you're my shadow for the night. I mean, I ain't complainin' or anything" dude what the fuck did I really just say that to her? I need a drink...

"cool well let's head inside and get you up to the VIP section. It's pretty crazy in there tonight but I promise you're in good hands" she sounded more serious now. Why do I like that? Ah fuck it imma just roll with this

"Oh I bet" I finally said and began to follow her through the vip entrance of the club

Taylor's POV

We were inside the club now heading up the stairs to the VIP section. The club was absolutely packed with sweaty bodies dancing to the music and swarming around the bar. I felt Billies hand grab my hand tightly but luckily nobody had noticed that she was in the club yet. There were a few camera flashes in our direction as we swiftly moved up the stairs but since the upstairs is VIP only we would be safe as soon as we made it through the glass sliding doors which is guarded by two more bouncers.
"Hey so don't worry about anyone getting in here and bothering you tonight. VIP is on total lock down tonight so you'll be totally safe. I'll also be close to your side throughout the night too just in case" I shouted to Billie over the music.
She gestured for me to bend down so that my head was closer to hers so that she could talk to me without shouting
"So does VIP have a separate bar mamas? I need something to drink but the bar down stairs looked way too full" she said in my ear. I flinched at the pet name she had given me.
"Lucky for you my good friend Brooke will be looking after your drinks tonight at the bar up here. She's a real sweetheart and quite a fan of your music" I pointed towards the neon lit bar in the corner of the room where Brooke was shaking a glass and tumbler. "She's pretty talented and has a pretty mean list of all her own cocktail recipes so be sure to try a few. Now I know you're only 17 but since it's not far until your Birthday and well...... you're Billie fucking Eilish, the normal rules don't apply for you here tonight so have fun" I exclaimed with a chuckle. I could feel her staring at me again like she was earlier at the car. She seems to like it when I laugh or something

We were all seated on the comfy sofas in one of the more private rooms in the VIP section. Dani and the twins were all going on about some record deal that Dani had signed and would be touring soon. Billie had positioned herself on the couch beside me and was leaning in to my side. I didn't mind. I definitely feel like there's something different about her, but in all the best ways. She's nothing like any other celebrity we've had in here. There was something about her that just set her apart from everyone else.
I definitely wouldn't mind getting to know her better, as like friends... but I know after tonight I'll probably never see her in person again.

"So tell me Shawty, what's your story. I wanna know more about you" she said leaning back on the sofa looking me dead in the eye. I still wasn't used to all these pet names but somehow I didn't mind it so much when she was the one saying them.
"Who me? Oh um... well.. there isn't much to tell really. Been here, been there. A big ole world and I'm just livin in it" I say trying to dodge any specifics and play it off cool. I never liked talking about myself really.
"Aw come on. You gotta give me a little more than that babes" Billie protested as she smirked slightly.
"Uh-we'll...I-what do you want to know?" I stammered nervously
"Mm.. how'd you get that scar" she said as she reached out and ran her thumb gently across the thick scar that shot from my hairline straight through my eyebrow and stopping just short at the top of my eye. I didn't flinch from her touch but the sudden contact took me by surprise. I don't know how long I stared at her but I know for sure it was too long when a slight smirk began to pinch at her lips as she became aware of the effect her touch had on me.
"Aight don't tell me then" she chuckled leaning back into the sofa
"Oh. Um sorry. Uh....." Jesus Taylor snap out of it you're stammering like an idiot. I cleared my throat and hardened my face. "I served in the armed forces for a while and uh yeah..... kind of a long story I guess" I said more serious now
She nodded noting my change in tone and gave me an apologetic smile.
"Well for the record, I think it's beautiful" she said staring in my eyes again "maybe someday you'll tell me more about it?"
I couldn't help but notice the way she was staring at me. Kinda like she was studying me searching for answers to hidden questions. Why was she so interested in me? Hell, what's got me acting like this? I felt different around her. I felt myself get lost in her ocean eyes for I don't know how long.

"Holy fuck Billie Eilish it's really you! Hi! You're so pretty holy wow!" Brooke squealed from behind is. She must be on her rounds taking drink orders from all our VIPs.
"Haha wassup girl, you must be Brooke?" Billie said cooly as she snapped out of the trance we were both unawarely stuck in.
She must get this sort of reaction from fans all the time.
I shot a sharp look at Brooke which she quickly acknowledged that I was pleading her to chill the fuck out. She gave me an apologetic shrug and turned her attention back to Billie
"Yep that's me! Taylor's bestie! Anyway, can I get you another drink?" She grinned as she could barely keep herself from bouncing to the ceiling. I knew this was a big deal for her and don't get me wrong, I was pretty stoked about being around Billie too but I'm sure as hell a lot better at keeping a level of chillness.
"Uhhh yeah sure! I actually don't really know what I want so you mind if I come take a look at your specialty drinks list? Tay here was just saying I gotta try one of em while I'm here" Billie said as she jumped up from from her spot on the sofa beside me. She turned on her heels toward me "is that all cool?" She said quickly
"Yeah go for it! I'll be close by just in case... ya know, not that it's likely anything will happen up here but yeah I'll be around" I chuckled awkwardly
"Cool. be right back babe" she said slyly with a wink and began walking with Brooke toward the bar.

Babe? Maybe she's just really friendly and calls everyone that.
