ASHLY POV
I was scrolling on my phone when a post caught my attention. Its from my official fan club.
"Hey Hey, do you know this guy? He's been with Goddess this past few weeks." I read the caption and look at the picture below. It was me and Kaiden going out from the Sony Building.

'Yeah, I wonder why he was always with me this past few weeks.' I said in my mind while looking at Kaiden who was preparing foods for me.
I have fan meeting and album signing today so Kaiden represent himself to make me breakfast
"Here you go." Kaiden said holding two plates with a mayonnaise sandwich "Wait.." He went back to the kitchen, he came back with two glasses of milk, he puts it the table and sat down in front of me "Let's start eating."
"I'll go to grocery because I don't have any more stucks in my condo."
"Is it okay for you to go out? You're a superstar now, there are lots of anti-fans and obsessed fans around, and paparazzi."
"I'm going to wear a mask, cup and glasses, eh. The bodyguard sent by Gabbi will also come." I said

"I'll just go with you to make sure."
"Uhm-m don't you think we're making some rumours?"
He look me "What rumours?"
"Well, we're always together .. b-maybe they will mistake you as boyfriend and don't you have a project now or anything to do at construction sites?"

"I don't have anything to do. I already did it in advance for the wedding and why would they mistake me for your girlfriend? We're just friends and my 'fiancee' is your bestfriend, isn't it?" he even emphasized the word fiancee.
"You don't know people's mouths, they spread fake news and fake rumors."
"Then I will just dress like one of you body guards."
I laugh "Anyways, where is Maeve? She's not in my condo when I woke up."
"She said she have an operation this morning. I don't know but she is always with operations."
"Nah, let her be. She just also want to complete her sched for the wedding and the parties."
WHEN I ALREADY PUT the things that I needed on the cart, we headed to tbe counter
"Before anything else, I am her bodyguard." I heard Kaiden said to the girl who was approaching the shelf near me
"Freak." I hear the girl said and went to the shelf to get a mentos. She even weirdly look at Kaiden
Kaiden approaches me "She called me freak?"
"HAHAHA, Stop doing that. They won't recognized me, do you recognized me?"
He look at me and awkwardly smile "No."
"Tss."
Who will recognized me if I am wearly a motorcycle jacket and a dress upto knee underneath plus a bucket cup and a mask plus my glasses if I am wearing it.
When the woman finished calculating everything I bought, I paid. The bodyguard also carried plastic bags to the van. When we are already at the van I scrolled to my newsfeed
The group's one member posted 'Isn't he that man who was always with Goddess? He is wearing a bodyguard attire.'
'Could it be... OMG is that woman next to him is Goddess?!'
'So he is really a bodyguard.'
'No No guys. He was an archi.'
I went to my profile and posted a picture of the three of us; Me, Maeve and Kaiden. It was shoot when we went to Palawan.
"Gotta congrats this two ahead. Happy wedding! Make some babies soon." - caption|posted
45k reacts, 1k comments, 2k shares in just a couple of minutes?!
'So he was Goddess friend?'
'I am now confused:((('
'Who is he really? An archi? Bodyguard?'
'I found his account already. Search Kaiden Bautista now.'
'Ooh! He also posted something, here here. */with photo below*/'
I went to Kaiden's account and view his latest post.
"First day of being an 'bodyguard'. Gotta ride this bodyguard stuff or else my friend will got into a unpleasant rumours with me, an engaged man." I read it loudly and look at Kaiden
He laugh "What? I am just making the rumours clear."
"You did the good thing bro." I said and slightly punch his arm and he messed up my hair
"Tell me, Am I handsome with this suit plus this thing in my ear? Am I handsome? Am I good looking?"
I laugh looking at his face "HA HA HA! Yeah yeah, handsome handsome."
MAEVE POV
"Ahh, I am so tired!" Maris said while massaging her shoulder "We also have a series of operations this week, there are people who are also want to consult. Aren't you tired?"
I nodded while drinking water "Of course I am. I haven't sleep for like days!"
"Wait, Its our day-off tomorrow right?" Maris said
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Let's go to the club just to relax."
"Na--"
"Please. My treat. Let's go tomorrow night. You can also bring some friends, tag that Ashly along."
I think Ashly was also too busy this month, sched by sched-- We haven't hang out this month because of our schedules, she also manage my Bachelorette party and Bridal shower, and have others along with the wedding coordinator. She needs a break.'
"Okay. Tomorrow night then."
Maris smiled "Really? Good! Let's take a good sleep."
We took off the white coat we were wearing and hung it on the stand after we picked up our bags we went out of the hospital together.
"See you tomorrow night." Maris said and waved her hand as she entered the parked taxi.
I also wave my hands "Bye, take care."
Soon after, the van that Ashly was riding arrived. She said will fetch me because she said her sched is until night. When I opened the door of the van I immediately saw Kaiden's face.
"Why are you here?" that question is the first thing comes up in my mind
"We are here to pick you up." He helped me sit in the sit next to him. I just shut my mouth.
Kaiden and Ashly were just whisper talking the whole ride. Kaiden has been ignoring Ashly for like a month that I don't know the reason why. If I ask Kaiden, he doesn't say, when it comes to Ashly, she's always busy and I don't want to disturb her but its a good thing that they are back in good terms again.
"Hey, I told to take a nap." Ashly said when she saw me looking at them "Look at your panda eyes."
"Hmp." I take out a small mirror from my bag "I'm still pretty though."
We laugh "Yeah Yeah Yeah."
"Btw Ash, why am I rarely see you driving your motorcycle this past few months?" Kaiden asked
"Hm, its my manager suggested it. So that bad rumours about me won't spread and paparazzi won't follow m- but I prepare riding my motorcycle to escape from those paparazzi always tailing me." She answered
"ASH, ARE YOU STILL UP?" I said and hugged Ashly from behind. We are already on her condo, lying on her bed. I want to sleep next to her tonight
"Hm? What is that?" She said and opened her eyes
"Ohh did I wake you up?" I said worriedly, she was too busy this week maybe she doesn't sleeps at all.
"No No. I was still about to sleep. Spit it."
"Maris and I are going to the bar tomorrow cause we are on a day off, want to tag along?"
She thinks for a little "I have day practice tomorrow for my second album but I am free in the evening..."
"That's great! We are going to the bar in 8pm. Please come Ash.*/puppy eyes*"
"Okay-- but now sleep tightly. You already did your night routine right?"
I nodded. She smiled and squeeze my cheecks "You are so cute my baby panda, those cute little panda eyes."
"YOU ARE SO HOT Ashly." Maris said while looking at Ashly. We already arrived at the bar Maris said. Its full of crowds, loud music, lighting, dancing people everywhere, kissing ettcc.
"Thank you. Well its just one of the dresses in my closet."
Its a dress strapless dress and it can emphasize your boobs but its won't that expose cause Ashly is wearing a motorcycle jacket.
If you see her closest its full of styled motorcycle jacket plus cool pants and even baddass boots. She rarely have dresses before she became an contract artist. Its a good thing that Ashly doesn't have any tattoos i her body or else her dad will cut off her skin.
I met tito maybe one or two times, I could say he is scary.
"Cheers." We shouted as we raised my glass.
"Hey, I'm just going to the restroom." Maris said
"Let me go with you." Ashly also stood up
"Then I am going to wait you two here." I said and they both nodded
When they already blended with the crowd I stood up and went to the bartender to order more drinks. When someone bump into me
"Hey watch where your going!" The woman said
"I-i am so sorry."
"Fvck, are you blind!? you are such an idiot." The woman angrily said
I felt like my blood boiled
"With this lights, will you be able to see?? You are the one who bump me first."
"Wait, I know you idiot." The woman acted thinking "You are that Mr. Bodyguard/Architect fiancee? That Kaiden Bautista?"
I was shocked. Who is she really? An obssessed fan of Ashly? A stalker? Member of paparazzi? Or also a singer?
"Mr. Bodyguard? What do you mean?"
She whispers "Well gurl you don't know? That Ashly and your Kaiden is always together." She get her phone in her pocket then show me a series of pictures "In fansigning, going out from the building, and even went to the grocery, your Kaiden always present. If you don't do anything, your 'bestfriend' will snatch your fiancee. Will I bet she's already flirting with him."
The sudden closeness between Ashly and Kaiden entered my head. "No. No! Ashly won't do that!"
"Will I bet she will. She's a slut. She just even snatch the man I drink with earlier."
It went back to my head those scenes where Kaiden always messed up Ashly's head. As I remember Ashly doesn't want anybody to touch her head except me! Fvck! Im just over thinking! I hate my self! I cupped my head as it begins to hurt! AHHHHHH! I am just being too paranoid!!
'No No No! I trust my friend and Kaiden! Yes. Yes.'
I smirked
"No, No,No. She's not like that. I trust my friend more that anybody, even your bubbly mouth full of lies. You look like a slut more than her. Wait is that a heckey?" I said and even pointed the down spot in her neck
She look irretated then went away. Then I went back to our sit, Maris is already there
"Hey girl where have you been?"
I quikly approaches her "Maris may I use your FB account? I just want to see something."
She look shocked "S-sure."
I never used my social media accounts, cause either I forgot my passwords or Its deactevated.

'#Ashly dela Cruz_with_bodyguard - 25.4k people talking about this'
'25.4K?! But I am just the one who doesn't knew that he was being a bodyguard?! Fvck!
I immediately handed the cellphone back to her. I opened a bottle of beer and gulped it down.
To prevent my self from being paranoid, I have to make my self drunk!
I just realized that we are already in a private room. We were very drunk but we were still singing and drinking.
I drunkenly walked towards a room inside this room. It wasn't very clear what happened but .. I lay on the bed and kissed a man who looks like Kaiden.
"P-please don't be too nice to her. I am jealous." I said drunkenly and continue to kiss his face.
Then the alcohol totally ate me...
