First Meeting

(Steve POV)

"What? No way." Steve strongly said.

"Steve, you said yourself that we need to stop this from happening." Fury spoke.

"Yeah, help with finding Hydra not babysitting a popstar." Steve complained.

"You need to protect her, find out whose the Hydra mole is from the inside while we look for them on the outside."

"Why can't Sam do it?" This was the last thing Steve wanted to do. "I am a soldier, not a bodyguard."

"Yes you are and that's why your the best man for the job...you know more about Hydra then anybody and could find the mole...there is no one better to protect her then you." Fury proclaimed.

"But I'm suppose to be in hiding Nick, what if someone recognizes me." Steve points out.

"Trust me no one is going to notice you." Fury strongly reassures him.

"You can't promise that...it's too dangerous."

"Fine we'll just let this woman die because you don't want to be exposed." Fury just had to pull the guilt card, Steve gives him a strong eye roll.

"That was a cheap shot Nick."

"But it's true...no one is going to pay attention to you...quite frankly you would be hiding pretty well...who would ever think that Captain America would be a popstars bodyguard?"

He sighs and bites his bottom lip, "fine...how would we do this?" Steve hesitantly agreed and asked.

"I've already contacted her manager...I told him about the letters and the threats, I told him that she needed protection and I knew the perfect man...the only thing no one knows is that Hydra is connected or who you really are, no one can know that we're onto them, they might bolt on the mission all together and we'll never find whose behind it." Fury explained.

"When do we do this?" Steve slowly asked.

"You start tomorrow." Fury smiled. "Remember your with her at all times." Steve nods his head in frustrating agreement.

(Scarlet POV)

"What the fuck? You hired a bodyguard?" I shouted, "No Tom, you know I don't do bodyguards anymore...I hate those idiots with a passion." I complain to my manager Tom. "And he has to be with me all the time not just concerts? Fuck that!"

"I know but Scarlet this is important."

"I don't care, no. Bodyguards think they can just take over, do whatever they want and they are always mean to my fans." I angrily explain.

"Scarlet there was a threat on your life, I don't want anything to happen to you."

"I appreciate that, I really do but I'm fine, I get hate mail all the time, it comes with the job." I continue try to protest.

"I know but we can't take any chances...and either way you need protection regardless, this tour is going to be huge and we'll need all the help we can get. I can't be around 24/7 and it's not exactly easy to hire bodyguards or security at the last minute all the time...it's really a pain the ass...you have to do this...I'm really worried and want you to be safe."

"...I can't believe this is actually happening." I roll my eyes, snarl as I start to walk away. "You better find a good one...not another one of these assholes."

"Oh I guarantee I will." He happily smiles, "so, I can tell him he can come?" Tom hopefully asked.

"Yeah whatever...but one wrong move and he's done." I warn him as I keep walking.

"Uh yes is this Johnson (Fury's alias)...she said yes, have him come over tomorrow." I overhear Tom on the phone. "You have my complete support."

Of course he had already hired someone! I swore to myself I would never have a personal bodyguard again but I can't deny that Tom's right, even though I know I can protect myself and am perfectly fine I also know that this was going to be a big tour and it can be difficult to find someone quick especially overseas, sometimes I can't find anyone. Maybe I'll be more of a bitch then usual and he'll quit on his own!

(Steve POV)

The next day Steve arrives at a huge mansion, it's absolutely beautiful, he can't help but look around in awe, far better then his shitty apartment...actually anywhere he's ever stayed in, it looked like it was straight out of the movies. He's trying to find someone, the house is so empty.

"Um...hello?" He asked hoping someone would hear him.

"Oh...hi." A young woman walks in.

"Are you Scarlet?" He asked.

"No, her assistant Rachel...(she brings her hand out and he shakes it) are you the new bodyguard?" She asked.

"...I guess I am." He shrugs.

"Welcome." She sweetly smiled.

"Thank you." He smiled back. "This place is beautiful."

"I know...it's kind of intimidating at first...I got lost a few times (they both chuckle) but you get use to it."

"Ah you must be the bodyguard." A man spoke out and walks to Steve. "Hi I'm Tom, Scarlet's manager...that will be all Rachel, thank you." She immediately leaves but not before giving Steve another soft smile. "And you are?" Tom brings out his hand.

"Huh, Steve Rogers." He shakes his hand.

"Steve Rogers...?" He slowly repeats, for a moment Steve panics, of course someone knows who he is right away! "I think I went to school with a Steve Rogers, did you go to Westview?"

"Um no."

"Huh...anyways come on in, welcome." Tom smiles. "God your huge, I mean Scarlet's had big bodyguards in the past but nothing like you."

"Part of the reason why he sent me." Steve replied.

"I guess so...now Johnson said you guys found some very disturbing letters for Scarlet?"

"Yes...this is very serious."

"I believe you...but she doesn't...but don't worry I talked her into giving you the job."

Steve nods his head, "now I am going to need to have all the names of her staff." Steve instructs. "And also anyone she may have fired recently."

"Why? You think it's someone that works or worked for her?" Tom questioned.

"We can't rule anyone out by this point...unfortunately half the time that's the case." Steve explains. "We think this is much bigger then just a obsessed fan."

"Like what?" Tom asked.

"I can't tell you that."

"...Okay, no problem I'll get on that for you." Steve gives him a thank you nod. "You really think someone is trying to kill her?" Tom had to ask.

"Yes." Steve quickly answered.

"...You won't let anything happen to her, will you?"

"She is completely safe with me, I promise." Steve reassures Tom.

"Great...I like you, I'm glad they sent you...she hasn't exactly had the best luck with bodyguards." He smiled. "Let's go meet her."

They start walking, "has she gotten any threatening letters?" Steve asked.

"If she has she didn't tell me..."

"Did you tell her about the letters we told you about?" Steve asked.

"...Yes...kind of, I told her she had a threatening letter that was found and that's it, obviously she hasn't seen it or anything since you have it...she has a big tour coming up and she doesn't need distractions, especially like this, she needs to stay focused." Tom sternly told him. "Plus I don't even know what the letters said, Johnson didn't exactly tell me so why worry or scare her for no reason." Steve didn't know why but it bothered him with what Tom said, he didn't seem to care about her safety at all but just worried about her...more so his career. Him bringing up how he doesn't want to scare her felt more like an afterthought, clearly not what he truly cares or is worried about.

"Yeah...that's probably for the best." Is all Steve could say.

"You read the letters too? You know what they said?" Tom had to ask.

"...Yeah, I read them myself." Steve replied.

"What did they say?"

"If my boss didn't tell you then I can't."

"Okay, I respect that...your loyal I like it." He suddenly stops walking before going out the back patio. "Could you keep that between us? Again I don't want her upset right now."

"Yeah." Steve agreed.

"Okay...you should know she has a busy schedule, she wakes up at 7 every morning, breakfast, goes running right after and when she comes back she goes right into her studio to rehearse." He begins to tell him.

They walk outside to the patio as he's still telling him her schedule, Steve looks over and that exact moment Scarlet emerges from the swimming pool, climbing up the pool ladder wearing a dark and light blue polka dot bikini. He watches her as someone gives her a towel and while soaking wet she bends down to wipe her very toned legs...even though she was kind of short she had leg beautiful legs. His eyes never leave her as she raises her towel higher and wipes her perfectly plump large breasts, he didn't miss the way they bounced as she's wiping. Last she brings it to her long auburn hair...because it's wet it brings out her natural curls. Steve can't seem to take his eyes off her, her body was simply amazing! He had never heard of her before and had no idea she was so beautiful and stunning...quite frankly she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He knows it's wrong to stare like this and should be respectful but he can't help it...she's completely drawing him in. He's starting to think this babysitting job wasn't a bad gig after all.

"That's...that's her?" Steve stutters, he's trying so hard to be calm and professional.

"Yeah...Scarlet." He calls to her. She looks over and walks to them, God she is even more beautiful up close. She looks Steve up and down, "this is your bodyguard Steve..." Tom started to introduce.

"You'll do I guess...but just so we're clear, I don't want you here, I never asked for you and I don't need you, your here because of him (points to Tom). So you better stay the fuck out of my way." She very aggressively told him and began to walk away but she quickly turns around and is still walking backwards, "You won't last...I give you until the end of the week." She smirks and turns back around.

"Don't worry about her, she'll warm up to you." Tom pats Steve's shoulder, "come on, I'll show you to your room." Steve looks back at Scarlet who was still in view, she looks back as well and rolls her eyes at him.

And just like that all that attraction for her went out the window!

Authors notes: Well he's officially her bodyguard now and not the best of introductions but did his attraction really go away? What do you think of Tom? Can he be trusted?
