GIRLFRIEND // B.E

two.

"you're so pretty." leila murmured as her thumb gently rubbed my cheekbone.

i felt my cheeks flush, and i avoided her eyes. "thank you, baby."

she tilted my head a bit so that she could press a kiss to my forehead. "you're adorable too."

"i love you." i told her as i hooked my arms around her neck.

she bit her lip as her eyes searched mine for a moment. "i love you too."

"you wanna come over?" i quizzed softly.

"i cant," she said with a frown. "me and eli already have plans for tonight."

elijah is her best friend. they've been friends since, like, the third grade. he's cool, i guess.

"oh," i mumbled. "alright, that's cool. i hope you have fun, my love."

"thank you." she gave a smile before pecking my lips. she stepped back. "text me when you get home, alright?"

"i will; text me when you get to eli's."

"i will," she assured. "i love you."

"i love you too."

i watched as she walked over to her car. we had been in the school parking lot since school got out, which was only a few minutes ago. i let out a sigh before getting into my own car.

i drove home with my entire library on shuffle. songs from telepath by conan gray, to secret by joshua basset, and to toxic by summer walker and lil durk played as i drove.

eventually, i got home. i got out of my car before walking inside. almost immediately, i was greeted by my mom.

"hi, sweetie. how did school go?" she questioned.

"it was alright," i shrugged. "you didn't go to work today?"

"i got off at one." she explained.

"ah," i nodded. "how was work?"

"it was... work." she shook her head with a sigh, which made me laugh a bit.

i talked to her for a few more moments before going to my room. i set my book bag down beside my door after closing it. i plopped down onto my bed.

i guess i'll spend my friday sleeping; that's fine by me.

i laid there for a few moments as i scrolled through my phone. i texted leila that i had gotten home. i dropped my phone onto my bed and tried to fall asleep. just as i was on the verge of falling asleep, my phone pinged twice.

i picked it up, and i saw that billie had texted me.

i met billie on monday of this week. she's... persistent, to say the least. even though i've told her numerous times to stop flirting or quit with the pet names, she won't let up.

it's admirable how persistent she is, i'll give her that, but she needs to stop.

i'd be down to be just friends, but nothing beyond that. i'm happy with leila.
