This short story first appeared in the anthology BAQWA Presents: Two. Two men a bodyguard and the man he is guarding have had the hots for each other for two years and both afraid to risk revealing their feelings for fear of rejection. Rejection is always a possibility but living with those feelings for two years must be just as hard.
Rahim owns his own security firm and chooses to always be up front protecting Aza, a popular singer, not relinquishing control to any of his other security personnel. He keeps imaging what it would be like if Aza noticed him, and Aza finally revealed he not only noticed him he wanted him. It was a threat by some of his personnel threatening to go to Rahim themselves if Aza doesn’t speak up about his feelings that finally pushed him.
When both men finally open up, they realize that they wasted two years out of fear letting their thoughts of rejection overcome their real feelings.
