She's the cutest thing ever. We've just spent time in each other's company. No words but feelings.

She puts her index finger on my knee, forming little hearts on it. I just look at her calmed and focused gestures.

"You know what's interesting?" She asks while rolling on her back, face-up, looking at me with her head still laying on my lap. "What?" I ask glancing at her. "You used to hate me." She says staring me straight in the eyes forming a smile at the corner of her mouth. Her eyes look so crystal clear. They are hypnotizing.

"Yes. You did too, you still do." I say. "I used to, but how is it that you actually became my comfort person?" She asks while playing with one strand of my middle long hair.

"I don't know, that's the odd thing here." I say smiling. She smiles back tilting her head to the view. My phone starts ringing. It's Julia.

"Hi, baby," I say. ... "Ok, ok, i'm coming." i add then hang up instantly. "What happened?" Billie asks while getting up from my lap. "Julia, she's just worried about me. She wanted to know where I am, I was supposed to be home by now, it's already 7.13 am," I say getting up. "Is it that late already?" she asks with an alarming look while following me. "Yep." I say in a big disappointed tone while walking to the car. I didn't wanted that moment to end.

I arrive home. Billie had to stop at the gas station so she came later. It didn't even appeared suspicious to Julia. I enter the house door. "Where have you been?" Julia asks in a irritated voice. "Why aren't you sleeping?" I ask back, putting my keys on the kitchen counter. "I've been working." I add on an uncomfortable tone after a couple of seconds of pure silence.

"Yeah, right, as if I don't know you got your shift done at 6 am. Why you lyin'?" She asks somehow interrogating me. "What? Just leave me alone. I'm tired, i wanna sleep. Don't wanna have a fight with you right now. AGAIN!" i say pushing her slowly away while entering the bathroom. "Fine! We'll talk later about that fucked up behavior." she says as i close the door right in her face.

That's way too much, i wanna break up with Julia, i wanna confess Billie what i'm feeling. If im even feeling something for her. I just...i don't know, i'm falling in love just like a fool for her. Just as she told me 'You fall in love like a fool!' And she was right, i do, every fucking single time, but what i have for Julia, feels more like pressure. There are good times tho, times when we just enjoy the moment, but she sometimes becomes very overprotective and i don't want that AT ALL. On top of that, even tho she knows i wouldn't betray her she still has trust issues for me.

I get a shower and go to the bedroom. She seems calmed now, so now i can talk to her.

"So, Julia, my shift just got longer, that's all." I add. i could never tell her i was hanging out with billie, she'd kill me. For fuck sake, i know her too well.

"Ok. Let's say i get it for now! But this better never happen again. You hear me? Now...go to sleep. Imma go meet a friend. Imma be back later." She says while opening the room door. "Ok, bye." I mumble. "Ah, before i forget, Mi wants us all to go on a mountain trip this weekend. We all meet later at the park like usually." i say. "Ok, baby. Hoping that someone' is better not showing up." She says leaving.

What does she want? I know she's talking about Billie. I'm somehow happy she leaved.

Even tho i'm supposed to be tired, i just can't fall asleep. i think about what happened on the hillside. It's so...i don't even know, i just wanna spend more time with her. I want to see her. I text her.
