"billie, you have to release it!!" i beg while she plays me her song ocean eyes. it's sooo pretty, just like her song hostage that she played me last week.

speaking of last week, it still feels like a dream. ever since then billie and i have been on a different type of energy. she's starting to act a lot nicer, more caring and compassionate. it's good to see this side of her because when we first met she was a dick.

also, just for the record, i know she's lying to me about her job. she doesn't work at the skating rink and i know that shit for a fact. but, billie and i are just friends so it's not like she owes me some sort of explanation as to what she's doing to make money. whatever works, works. if she wants to tell me, she will. simple as that.

billie has kinda laid back on trying to make moves on me which has made me feel like i can breathe a bit more. me and her were both making heavy moves on eachother, and we both kinda stopped at the same time. it sounds sad but i promise it's good. we could never work as a couple. like ever. plus, billie's a player and she'd definitely break my heart which i'm just not down for. she's a good friend, and that's how it'll stay.

but i'd be lying if i said i said i didn't get butterflies in my stomach when she has that raspy morning voice. or if i said i didn't stumble over my words when looking at her complexion head on for too long. or if i said i didn't get nervous to talk to her when i see she's calling or texting me. it's just something about her is so addictive. so interesting and intriguing. it just makes you want to have more and more until you have all of her. but we're just friends...

"you think i should?" billie asks, snapping me out of my own thoughts.

"yeah, you should definitely just take a leap of faith." i nod.

"i'm gonna do it." she exhales. "i'm gonna do it!" she shouts excitedly as she starts making the post on soundcloud. i just smile and watch her work excitedly.

"ok ready??" she asks eagerly as her mouse hovers over the publish button.

"yup." i nod while watching intently.

"it's up." she sighs contently after pushing the button, sending it out for the world to hear.

"i'm so proud of you!" i shout while hugging her.

"thank you." she smiles while hugging me back.

unexpectedly she hooks her hands onto my waist, pulling me down into her lap while she sits on the spiny chair at her desk.

"thanks for encouraging me to post it." she whispers while moving loose strands of my hair behind my ear.

"i'd be a shame if you didn't." i smile back.

"lemme kiss you." billie pouts while holding eye contact with me. her and i both agreed to be strictly just friends about a week ago, and ever since then we haven't kissed.

"we're just friends, bil." i sigh while stroking her cheek with my thumb.

"but friends don't touch eachother like we do.. don't hold eachother like we do.. don't kiss eachother.." she bites her lip, her hand tightening on my waist.
