He was like a naked wire, if touched without precautions, current will surely pass through.

Did all clients behave like that? I mean, I have never heard, any of my employees complaining their client ran away. Mine did.
Oh! Fuck!
I tracked the car on my phone and thanked technology. He was driving at speed but where was he going? I locked the villa and came out to look for a taxi. It was such a deserted road that I felt scared. The car had stopped at a pub I had no idea, existed. I booked an Uber which arrived in ten minutes. I regretted not asking Kenny his phone number. As if, he would share it with me. I would spam it with fan messages.

I sat in the Uber and gave the address of the pub to the driver. The driver looked at me suspiciously but I told him I was going to pick a friend. He drove me there and offered help if I needed it. He was so kind and handsome.
URGH!
I should focus on the problem and not the Uber driver. The pub looked shady but I spotted my car and sighed in relief. I walked inside and instantly felt giddy. There was so much smoke that I was coughing. I cleared my eyes to see properly but I was being eyed as if I was the last leg piece of tandoori chicken left on the platter. I adjusted my cap and tried to look for Kenny. I was trying to keep my search mission low to avoid grabbing attention when I heard people laughing loudly and that caught my attention.

Kenny's co-actors said he had a great sense of humour so I went near the group and there he was wearing a black hoodie with ripped denim. The people were so drunk that they couldn't recognise they were sitting with an A-listed Hollywood actor. I gathered courage and went close to him.

"Sir, we need to go," I told him politely but he ignored me so, I repeated in a not so requesting tone. He was drunk. I wanted to leave the place ASAP. I was feeling scared with the piercing eyes of the drunkards. "Please Sir, let's go."

"First sing a song for me then maybe I could come with you."

Holy Fuck!

The men on the table laughed at me and I gritted my teeth. I warned Kenny to come but he was playing tough. God be with him.
"Mr Kellar, this is my last and final warning to you. If you don't come at once, I will..."

"You will what? Kiss me?" His remark made the filthy men he was sitting with, feel lustier.

Too bad. I skillfully hit Kenny on his neck making him lose consciousness in an instant. Well, I just don't own a security company, I know a few techniques too. I dragged Kenny out after covering his face with his hoodie. I was scared but putting his arm across my shoulder made me feel secure. In my universe, he held me safely in his arms with love but in a sober state.

I dumped him on the back seat and breathed out. I quickly drove the car out of the area and turned on music to divert my attention. The fresh ocean breeze calmed my nerves and I glanced at the sleeping figure in my car. I parked the car in the villa and secured the car keys in my pockets. To drag Kenny out was a tough task. I couldn't carry him all the way upstairs so, I made him lie on the sofa. He will have a sore back the next day. Good. Serves him right.

I came to my room and without changing my clothes, I slipped into the bed because I was so drained out.

I knew Kenny would have a hangover in the morning so after finishing my routine exercises and changing in my duty dress, I arranged for aspirin and made lemonade for him. The caretakers of the villa came for cleaning and even with the vacuum cleaner making so much noise, Kenny was snoring. The caretakers, Mr and Mrs Gellar prepared breakfast which was included in the cost of the villa and I requested them to prepare lunch. They did after asking for an additional cost to which I agreed. Kenny was floating in money and it won't affect his pocket. The couple left and I thought to wake up the sleeping beauty.

His face was covered with a blanket and I removed it slowly. Oh! My heart! He looked so tranquil. I took the time to admire him. It was a golden opportunity for any fan and I wanted to use it wisely. I shook him lightly to wake him up but he was sleeping like a log. I sprinkled water on him and that did the trick. He opened his eyes and rubbed the stardust. I was the first thing he saw in the morning and inadvertently my heart wished he had a great day.

"Good morning." I wished him cheerfully but he didn't reply. Was he so rude? He shut his eyes and held his head with his hands. I passed him an aspirin and he gulped it down with lemonade. "The breakfast is ready would you..."

He walked away with wobbly steps without letting me complete so I had breakfast alone. I doubted my wish to have a meal with him would ever come true.

"You, come upstairs," Kenny shouted from the staircase and I wondered what happened. I went inside his room and he pinned me to the wall. He hovered over me and I thought he was going to kiss me again. But he squeezed my chubby cheeks and asked me, "did you hit me last night?"

He questioned which meant he must be trying to recall. I laughed mentally and shrugged my shoulders. He left me and I twisted my jaw to relocate it. "You cannot go to such a shady place and absolutely not without security. What if something happened? Your mother called yesterday and..."

He pushed me against the door, startling me and shouted, "I don't want to hear what my mother said. If you want to play her advocate, get the hell out of here."

I was scared in the pub but Kenny's anger terrified me. No one had ever shouted at me. I loved watching action drama movies but hated it in real life. He jerked me and left my arms. Frustration, anger and guilt exhibited on his face and I was happy, I could read them. Was I stupid to be happy with this achievement?

I came down and breathed in-out to calm myself. He was my employer but if he maltreated me as he did, he would see the worst of me.

I was playing candy crush on my phone when the Lord from heaven descended the stairs. He went to the kitchen and served himself breakfast at almost lunchtime. He forwarded me a cup of coffee and I looked at him in amusement.

"I don't regret what I did but taking out my anger on you like that was uncalled for. So... Yeah... Just have this coffee." I killed the urge to pull his cheeks. He looked so cute attempting to apologise. I took the cup from him ignoring him as he always did. I was happy with whatever I had. My luck never favoured me and I didn't want to push it with wanting more.

Kenny and his phone. He was not active on any of his social media profiles from a few days, so what was he doing? I was curious. I didn't know I was staring at him until he snapped at me, "Stop behaving like a cheap, clingy fan. I am sick and tired of you guys. And I don't want you to wear a uniform. Wear something casual or don't wear anything at all, I don't mind."

That was so below the belt. "Hold your horses, Mr Kellar. I do not appreciate your loose talks. Besides, not all fans are cheap and clingy. I doubt any of them are. They just admire and appreciate their favourite artists and if that is how you define it, I feel sorry for you."

Kenny was taken aback by my answer. Good. He must know he was supreme on onscreen but not otherwise.

"I want to go out. To a beach or somewhere. I cannot stay in this villa the entire day." Kenny told me and I took out my phone to look for the least crowded beach. There were plenty and one of them was close by.

"Alright, whenever you are ready, let me know."

"I was serious when I said, I don't like this uniform of yours. Change it." Kenny went upstairs after ordering me to change. I complied with it. I didn't like the uniform either.

I wore a wine coloured top with white coloured, ankle-length jeans. I tied my hair in a high pony and realised why I never had a permanent boyfriend. I was so damn pretty. Kissing my reflection in the mirror I came out of my room and packed lunch. He could afford fancy restaurants, I could not. I waited for Kenny and fuck! I averted gawking at him. A white round neck t-shirt and casual shorts could also make him look so fucking sexy? No wonder girls couldn't resist his charm. I am the girls, here.

I locked the villa and Kenny insisted on driving. I didn't allow him and he looked pissed off. I was somewhere enjoying irritating him.

I parked the car and did the most important task. "Sir, please stay low. You attract a lot of attention and if someone recognises you, it will be chaotic. It's a humble request else I could again knock you down like yesterday."

"Warning and persuasion in the same sentence? Witty. Challenge accepted, Cooper." Kenny walked towards the beach and I knew it was going to be tough. I followed him. "Look, just stay away. I need some alone time." I understood what he meant. It's so inconvenient to have someone follow you all the time.

I stood at a distance while he walked and let the waves of the ocean touch his feet. It was a beautiful sight and I closed my eyes to memorise it. What my next painting would look like? It would look like a picturesque ornate. Kenny was going towards the ocean and I feared his next move. I went closer and shouted, "Don't go further, Sir."

He stopped and looked at me. Probably he didn't realise what he was doing. He stared back at the ocean and put his hands inside his pockets. Something was going on in his life which was bothering him. Did he break up with Tia? I opened her Instagram but there were no hints. I kept looking at Kenny and didn't realise it was almost four in the evening. We were at the beach for more than two hours.

"I need food."

"Umm... I have packed lunch if you would like that? There are no restaurants in this area?" I hoped Kenny ate the packed lunch.

He took out his phone and googled. There was a shack close by and he showed it to me on his phone. I gave up and walked behind him. Kenny was fisting and opening his palm again and again. He wanted someone to hold his hand and I only wished I could.

He reached the shack and thankfully it was almost empty. I checked around and requested him to take a corner seat. He agreed and ordered his lunch. His big goggles and oblivion of the waitress made it easier to hide his identity. With clear water, a clean beach and a settling Sun in the background, Kenny was having his food in silence. He asked me to sit and order if I was hungry. I declined both. The rates were not fancy but I wanted to be prepared if any fans came close.

Kenny finished the lunch and swiped his card. We were coming out when a group of young surfers recognised him.
Shit!
They swooned over him and Kenny was happy to meet them. I guess, he was partial towards his fans. He never met me so nicely. More and more people started to come and I tried to reach closer to him. I was pushed away and there was no way I could reach to Kenny who was surrounded by so many people. He looked at me and gave his famous lopsided grin. Was it planned? Did he plan this? Of course, he did. He fooled me.
