day 4

billie

when i got up this morning, ameera was still sound asleep. i know she's a heavy sleeper so i slipped a pillow under her and went into the bathroom, ready to take a shower after yesterday's long day.

when i looked in the mirror, i admired myself. i touched my blonde hair, trying to decipher if it was time to go another color. nah, not yet. i looked at my smooth skin, poking at my smile lines. my hands wandered to my collarbones that weren't too accentuated. i am pretty hot.

i got undressed and turned the shower on hot. i sat on the edge of the tub, posting pictures of ameera from yesterday. i walked over to the counter, lighting my favorite lavender candle and locked the door.

the scent filled the room and i finally stepped in the shower, wetting my hair instantly. i miss my shower at home, this hotel's been fun but i miss my bed and shark. i miss my mom and her food too. and fin, my best friend.

i ran shampoo through my hair and my mind was blank until a certain someone popped up.

ameera.

my cheeks immediately flushed at the thought of her. she's so beautiful and her voice is so melodic. her smile, her laugh. all of her pearly white teeth show when she laughs and sometimes snorts. her back always shakes when she laughs too. it's weird in a cute way.

her personality. she makes me forget that the world exists. this has been more of a vacation than anything. she's so chill and level-headed. but she's also so nervous, i think it has a lot to do with her mom but i haven't asked about it. maybe i should ask? i don't know.

her lips. ugh her lips. i could stare at then all day. i wonder what they taste like. i wanna kiss her so bad. yesterday at the restaurant i think she told me she was into me. im never sure but i think so. but she's a fan billie. but she doesn't feel like one. maybe i need to fall back, what if im being weird? but im literally not.

i shake my head and huff at my intrusive thoughts, finishing up my shower. i wrap myself in a towel and let my wet hair drip on my shoulders. i grab my things and blow out the candle, leaving the bathroom.

once i opened the door, i jumped when i saw ameera sitting up on the bed, her eyes still closed. "shit, you fucking scared me." i said with my hand over my heart. she peeked one eye open with a smile. "goodmorning." she rasped and my stomach went crazy.

she laid back down and pulled the covers over her legs. "it's cold." is all she said and i nodded. "it's a gloomy day today, it's raining for the first time in forever."

"... for the first time in forever," i heard her sing quietly and i laughed. i walked over to the closet, yanking it open. "you look good." is all she said, i turned around and looked at her to see her looking back at me sleepily.

"i hope you can't see my ass," i joked. "i wouldn't mind," she said and i flushed. i playfully rolled my eyes at her before going into the closet and picking out my fit. i heard ameera's feet shuffling across the floor and the bathroom door closing. i took that as my time to hurriedly get dressed, spraying my perfume on.

i was combing through my hair, staring at myself in the vanity when ameera came out, braids put up into a bun and nothing but a towel. "it smells so good in there." she said and i nodded. "i lit a candle."

ameera lugged her suitcase onto the bed and looked through it, sighing. "can i wear something of yours again?" she asked and i nodded, "of course, just look through the closet and choose whatever.
