Intro
The dressing room the venue had provided for Ariana Griande was less flashy than Guest would have expected. A large vanity was built into one wall, makeup and hair accessories piled neatly atop the counter. A rolling clothing rack, from which hung several of Ariana's costumes, sat near a privacy screen. Then there was a comfy green couch and two matching armchairs, with a low table between them. Otherwise, the room was pretty sparse.
Guest sat in one of the armchairs while Ariana steadfastly ignored their presence, tapping away at her phone on the couch. It was quiet in that room, the busy sounds from the rest of the building muffled by its walls.
Guest had started working as Ariana's bodyguard a few months ago, and despite how bubbly and sweet she was with her fans, and how friendly and caring she was with her friends and coworkers, she had never seemed to like Guest. Which was disappointing, because Guest had been a fan of Ariana Griande's since before they started working for her, and especially upsetting because she kept slipping away from Guest, putting herself at risk by being alone without someone to protect her.
But Guest was dealing with it. More or less. By not mentioning it and simply continuing to do their job to the best of their abilities.
This was the first show of the tour, and Guest's first tour working with Ariana.
She muttered something under her breath, probably directed at her phone. Texting with someone, or maybe scrolling twitter. Then she looked sharply up at Guest. "Look, no one's going to come into my dressing room if I keep the door locked. Could you just leave? I'd like some privacy before I go on stage in half an hour."
