My forever drug (B.E.)

Chapter 5

What do I do now? I don't know if I should ask her. She probably never wants to talk to me again. Damn it, I fucked up didn't I? Maybe I was a simple experiment for her, should I ask? NO

I clear my throat hoping the thick silence would go away, it didn't. Billie's eyes were glued to her fingers. She kept fiddling them and I knew she felt uncomfortable.

"So you wanna talk about it or...?" I spoke up not able to handle the silence anymore.

"No" she said her eyes cold as ice as they met mine.

"Okay I guess, what's your address?" her cold answer slightly frustrated me, it also got me worried she was mad at me, but for what? She kissed me, right? Shit I don't know, did I kiss her? Or did she kiss me? I have the brain of a fucking fish I swear to God.

She avoids eye contact and looks out of the window. "Why so you can stalk me?" she asks. I was waiting for her to tell me she was joking or it was sarcasm, nothing else came tho. I don't know why she acted this way, but geez the attitude is pissing me off.

"No, so I know where to drop your attitude off." I side eye her and see her blushing, probably realizing how stupid she sounded. She tries to cover it with her hair, but it's to late.

"Oh" she says quietly

It's awfully quiet in here so I put on my car playlist and it starts blasting 3 nights by Dominic Fike.

When I pull in her driveway I look at her expectingly, hoping she would say something before she leaves. I don't think I'll see her again after this and accepted the fact she might hate me now.

I wait for her to get out. She doesn't.

"Do I need to open the door for you?" I ask a little harsher than I wanted.

Her eyes meet mine when she looks up, they look hurt. As if she wasn't expecting me to say that.

Maybe she didn't want me to say that, all these mixed signs man.

"No, it's fine. Thank you again." Billie opens the door slowly

"No problem babygirl." Her head snaps at me and she stops in her tracks.

"What?" I ask as she keeps looking at me intently.

"I told you to stop calling me that!" she yelled

Her tone scares me a bit and I shut my mouth to stop me from saying what I wanted to say. She'll only get madder.

Here I go "Babygirl, you like it, don't deny" I watched her face closely waiting for her reaction

Billie looks at me with wide eyes, taking in what I just said. But stays quiet, not denying her liking her petname.

"Aight, I'm gonna go. Nice to meet you, see you around. Or not." Her eyes saddened at the last sentence, maybe she also doesn't want this to end. Fucking mixed signs!!!!!

She closes the door and I start to roll the windows back up.

"Wait!" She screams coming back towards my car "Could I maybe have your number? I get it if you don't want to give it to me, because we just met and we barely know each other. I like hanging out with you and..." I honked to stop her from rambling.

I chuckle and hand her my phone for her to copy my number.

Her cheeks redden and she adds a new contact. I get a notification and see she sent me a text.

Unknown number

Hey, it's me

After changing her name to babygirl I look up and wave at her to say goodbye
