Chapter 15

Billie: I was just having a cup of coffee in the kitchen when I noticed someone sitting on the bench in front of our house. Well, I thought to myself ... how often do you have to tell the residents that this property is private? Annoyed, I stomped outside to chase the person off my front yard. As I got closer, I noticed that it was a man who was apparently crying. I carefully walked closer to see the face. My anger quickly turned into concern when I noticed who was sitting there. "Tre? Are you okay ..."

Tre: I wiped the tears from my cheek and jerked around as I recognized his voice. He looked at me worried. "I'm fine," I said sadly.I got up and was about to leave when Billie hugged me from behind. "Please, talk to me" he said pleadingly. But what should I tell him? I didn't want to tell him about Mike & Brian's plan. I was too scared that he would be happy about it ... Billie realized that I didn't want to talk and pulled me by my arm into his house. "Come on, I'll get you a beer, and then you'll tell me what's going on".

Tre: I didn't wanted to say it... but with every touch from him, I noticed how painful it was. It hurts. "I don't want to lose you ... not again" I said whimpering.Billie came closer because he didn't understand what I meant "hmm?" he asked confused.When I looked up and Billie's face was only a few inches away from me, I felt how my heart was pounding wildly. My feelings went in circles. I loved everything about him, his luminous eyes, his perfectly formed cheekbones, his delicate dark rose lips.It was like falling into a kind of trance every time I looked at him.I just looked into those beautiful green eyes, took his soft face in my hands and kissed him ..."
