GIRLFRIEND // B.E

six.

•zayda•

it's been a couple of hours since me and billie laid down for a nap; maybe two and a half or three, i'm not sure. we're now in her living room, and we're sitting at her piano.

"you can play?" billie raised a brow.

"yeah," i nodded. "of course."

i played a random tune, which i honestly don't even remember learning. bil nodded as i did, with an impressed look on her face.

"you're pretty good," she told me as she shifted in her spot a bit. "did you take piano lessons as a kid or something?" she raised a brow.

"nope!" i popped the 'p' as i continued playing, though i was now playing für elise. "i learned how to play from youtube," i snickered.

"oh," she chuckled. "love that."

i grinned, then stopped playing so that she could. i listened intently as i tried to figure out what song it was, but i couldn't.

"this is a song that my brother wrote," she explained after looking over and seeing that my brows were furrowed.

"ohhh," my eyes widened a bit. "okay, okay. what's it called?"

billie went to say something, but was cut off as finneas walked over to us. "it's called when the party's over. this fool was playing it wrong though."

bil's brows furrowed deeply as she turned to look at finneas. "what?! no, i wasn't."

"you were!" he argued. "it's like this," he played the chords.

once he did, he said "you were playing this," before playing the chords that billie had played.

"oh. well, shit," her shoulders slumped, which made me giggle.

"don't laugh at me," she huffed.

"i'll do what i want," i narrowed my eyes a bit. i then gave an innocent smile. "can you sing it for me?"

her eyes widened, and she started shaking her head. "no, that song is difficult as hell; i couldn't."

"liar," finneas declared as he thumped her. "you can sing it."

"not really—" she started to argue, but was cut short as finneas thumped her again.

"you definitely can."

"please?" i asked softly.

she narrowed her eyes at me for a moment for sighing. "yeah, fine, whatever. sheesh."

i grinned before moving off of the piano bench so that finneas could sit there instead and play. i was going to sit in one of the chairs near the piano, but billie sat there. i was gonna just opt for standing, but bil pulled me into her lap, which made my eyes widen.

first cuddling and napping together, and now this?

no, no, this is fine. it's strictly platonic; it doesn't even mean anything.

billie wrapped her arms around my waist as finneas started playing the song. "i'm about to bomb this, for real," she said. finneas gave her a look and shook his head. "no, deadass."

"don't you know i'm no good for you? i've learned to lose, you can't afford to. tore my shirt to stop you bleedin'," she sang, but her voice broke as she sang "bleedin'." she let out a small laugh after.

she continued to sing it, along with finneas. her voice would break at certain parts, but she just laughed it off, which admittedly made me smile a bit.

i listened intently as she sang. not only are the lyrics good, but she can sing hella good. i literally feel like i'm being serenaded by an angel or something right now.

they could make it really far if they posted music and shit; i'd bet my life on that.

"see? i bombed it," billie stated after she finished the song. "i told you so."

"you did not," i looked at her with wide eyes. "that sounded amazing, seriously."

"nah, shut up; it didn't," she laughed as she tried to wave me off, but her cheeks were quickly flushing.

"i'm being so serious right now," i assured her. "it sounded angelic, and amazing, and just so good, bro. honestly, if you don't post music, that's wasted talent."

"i dunno, i've been thinking about it," she tried to shrug it off like it wasn't a big deal.

"i think you should. i mean, if you're comfortable with it, of course. i'm just saying though, you'd make it big if you did."

"eh, i don't know about all that. i doubt it," she blew raspberries.

"there's no harm in trying."

"i've been trying to convince her for a while, but she's stubborn as hell," finneas sighed as he stood up.

"you really should, bil," i said once again as i met her eyes.

she stared back at me for a moment. she then avoided my eyes as her cheeks tinted pink. "maybe."

it's now a while later. it's dark out, and i'm at my house. i'm laying in bed watching tv.

i heard my phone ping from beside my bed, where it was sitting on my nightstand. i leaned over to grab it. i picked it up and saw that leila had texted.

"here you go, pretty girl," leila handed me the cinnabon delights after greeting me with a hug and a kiss.

"thank you, baby," i grinned before kissing her cheek. i then grabbed her hand to pull her to my room.

after i ate the cinnabon delights, we laid down in my bed. she pulled my into her embrace, and she held me tightly.

"i really am sorry about earlier," she murmured after pressing a kiss to my head. "it's not like me to be so mean."

"it's okay... well, it's not, but i forgive you. like i said though, don't let it happen again."

"i won't," lei assured, then mumbled "you're all i wanted."
