I don't see billie during my next shift.

I keep obsessively checking the door every time the bell rings but she's never there.

my dumbass needs to remember that billie does have a job and a life which doesn't involve the store at all. hell, she grew up in the place I can't imagine she'll want to spend any more time than she already does.

this isn't like me at all.

I don't get worked up over girls.

I don't get worked up over billie.

"you still up for tonight?" kai says when the store is relatively empty. when I hesitate to answer they flick me on the tip of the nose and I yelp, smacking my hand over my nose. "you're not bailing on me, are you?"

"imp not dickhead" I push them backwards and they almost trip over, making me laugh out loud.

"that's what you get for flicking me on the nose" I pull my face at them, and they stick their tongue out at me. "it's just complicated with my gran" I sigh, folding my arms over my chest. "so when you pick me up, don't mention the party at all"

"I gotchu"

the party is next friday so kai and I came up with a plan.

I was staying at kai's house tonight, so that next Friday, there isn't any suspicion when I say I'm hanging out at their house.

I'm kinda scared because ive never stayed over at anyone's house before.

my dad never let me have sleepovers growing up.

what do you even do?

paint each other's nails, eat pizza and talk shit about people?

I have no-one to talk shit about.

unless I talk about myself?

regardless, I have five hours left of work and then im going straight to kai's house.

they live in a small apartment with their girlfriend but she's currently visiting her parents in boston.

not that im bothered, it's gonna be so nice to hang out with

"by the way, what did I hear about you and billie at the fun fair"

shit.

"it's a long story"

kai looks down at their watch "we've got five hours"

I sigh.

I just tell them I bumped into billie on my day off.

I don't mention the secret feelings, the leg touching and the fact billie called me 'sexy as hell'

which I still can't get over.

"she was just trying to cheer me up" I shrug "it's no big deal"

"hmm"

"hmm? what does that mean?"

"nothing" kai smirks "it's very interesting that's all"

huh?

do they know something?

"anyways, ill get it out of you once we've smoked a lil" kai smirks at me and I roll my eyes.

we're smoking now?

"no way"

kai goes back to dealing with a customer, leaving me with the glorious task of restocking the best sellers stand.

it's definitely not my favourite job but it certainly is something which needs doing multiple times a day.

I didn't realise how many people in LA come to buy vinyl's everyday.
