The bodyguard || Billie Eilish

Gucci

Present day

I finished reading the texts from Phil that he had sent me earlier this morning and sent him a quick reply since my head was still thumping and I didn't feel like calling

Hey Phil
I'm okay :) got a couple of stitches and a killer headache but I'll live. I've got a couple of missed calls and a text from an unknown number, probably Billies mom? I'll find out what she wants
Don't know if I'm going to be up for a shift tonight sorry. I'll let you know if I change my mind

I put my phone down and let my mind drift back to last night. Billie.
I look down at the hoodie I was dressed in. Billies hoodie which was way too big on me since she always wore baggy clothes but I liked it. I could smell Billies cologne on it and it smelled fucking amazing. So it definitely wasn't a dream then and everything that happened last night was real. Billie brought me home and tucked me in to bed? Who knew she was such a softie?
I sat up groggily and scratched without thinking. Habit I guess.....Fuckin Dumbass. I need to make a mental note to stop doing that or I'll rip my stitches out. I flopped back into my pillows again just as my bedroom door flew open with Brooke bursting into the room

"Jesus fuck Taylor are you okay?! I didn't see what happened but I heard it upstairs and then one of the guards told me" she came running to my bedside and began examining my head "I was so worried as soon as I heard! How did you get to the hospital? How did you get home? Dude what the fuck are you wearing fucking Gucci?"
"Brooke slow down please. Breathe before you pass out please" I chuckled leaning back into my pillows
"Sorry hahah. Okay explain though please" she said as she sat down on the bed breathing finally
"Um... Billie took me to the hospital and then she drove me home. No biggie " I mumbled scratching the back of my neck awkwardly
"She was here? You're telling me Billie Eilish was in our house?? Are you wearing HER hoodie???Tell.me.everything!"
"Yes brooke... she was here and yes this is hers. My uniform was covered in blood and I couldn't shower so I guess she was just trying to be nice... it really wasn't that big of a deal" I said flatly trying to play it off cool
"Tay... she wouldn't stop asking questions about you the whole time she was at the bar with me. She's cleaaarrrlllyyy into you and you're telling me nothing happened? I'm calling bullshit" Brooke said rolling her eyes dramatically
"I don't know.... she kissed my cheek at the club and then when we were in the car she was like touching my face and had her hand on my leg and stuff but like not super sexual or anything... just kinda sweetly I guess. And then I remember when she brought me home she tucked me in bed and kissed my forehead when I was half asleep. She called me babe and a few other pet names too but I don't know man.... she's straight so I think I'm reading into all of this too much. Plus don't you think the fact that there's a 5 year age difference makes it a little weird? She turns 18 in December which is literally next month but isn't that still weird? Wait.... she asked questions about me? What kind of questions? Why does she even care who I am?" I rambled. My head was spinning. Why was this so confusing when I'd only just met her?
" dude I really don't think she's straight. That's definitely not the vibe I got from talking to her last night. You should see how she was looking at you.... dude... the way you looked at her. It's like you were magnets. Just totally drawn to each other" Her tone became more serious now
"You're sure though? I mean.... I want this to be real" I said with my face in my hands
"Positive T. Are you going to see her again" she perked up again
"I-I don't know. I want to. I think her mom has been trying to contact me. Phil texted me saying she was down at the club this morning asking to see me. I guess she has some sort of offer for me? Who knows what that means... something good I hope" I said as I quickly opened my phone to show her the text from Phil.
She read it carefully nodding before handing the phone back to me."There's an unread message there from an unknown number. Think it might be Billies mom?"
"Probably. Let's see" I opened the text and began to read out loud

Hello Taylor!
This is Maggie O'Connell. I just wanted to give you a quick call to say Thankyou so much for everything you did for my daughter last night. Billie told me all about you and I'm extremely grateful that you took such care with making sure she was safe. I hope your head heals soon. If you could give me a call as soon as you can I'd love to chat to you about possibly joining us on Billies upcoming tour this December. We'd love to have someone on board who we can trust with protecting Billie. Also, it's her birthday soon which I'm sure you know about and we'd love to get you over here to help celebrate! Call me when you can and thanks again xoxoxo -Maggie

"Holy fuck" we both said at the same time
