the next morning, i woke up to billie practically clinging onto me with her head buried into my chest. i had my arms wrapped around her as well, and our legs were tangled together as we laid there.

i tightened my hold on her ever so slightly as i pulled her closer to me. she stirred, but she just buried her head further into my chest and stayed asleep.

she gives really good cuddles.

like, i dunno, this is just so... nice? i don't know. i like it a lot though.

i laid there for a bit. as i did, my thoughts drifted back to yesterday when we kinda kissed. my face flushed as i thought about it.

i never thought i'd fall into a kiss, but here we are.

we were both so awkward about the whole thing.

we both dismissed the whole thing, but... i can't help but think about how i actually want to kiss her.

her lips were so soft.

when we tried to move apart, we ended up knocking our heads against the other's. we have matching knots on our foreheads now.

how cute.

i let out a small puff of air as i still laid there cuddled with billie. not long after, she started to stir awake. her hold around me loosened a bit, and she moved her head from my chest.

we met eyes. she gave a small, sleepy smile. "hiii," she murmured before she buried her head back into my chest.

i love her sleepy voice, oh my god.

"good morning. did you sleep good?" i asked softly.

she nodded against my chest. "i slept really good," she mumbled. "what about you?"

"i slept really good too," i admitted.

we laid there for a bit longer. when we got up, i gave her a spare toothbrush and let her do her morning routine first. when she was done, i went into the bathroom and did my morning routine as well.

i walked back to my room. billie was sitting crisscrossed on my bed, and she was scrolling through her phone. when she heard me walk into the room, she looked up at me and set her phone to the side.

i walked over and sat on my bed as well. she leaned back on her hands as she looked at me.

"you know... you still haven't showed me that tattoo," she mentioned as she tilted her head.

"you really wanna see it, huh?" i teased with a small laugh.

"i do, and what about it?" she raised a brow.

"nothing," i assured.

i turned around. i pulled my shirt over my shoulders to let her see the tattoo.

"damn," she said lowly. she lifted a hand, and she lightly traced over the tat with her index finger. "it's sick; i love it."

"thank you," i smirked lazily.

she continued to trace over it for a few moments. when she stopped, i let my shirt fall back down. i turned around to face her again.

"how many tattoos do you have?" she quizzed.

"uh... let's see," i counted on my fingers for a second as i thought. "like, twelve? thirteen? something like that."

"tell me about them?" she requested as she tilted her head.

"alright. uh, let's see... this one," i showed her the 'only angel' tattoo on my left index finger and the angel wings on my left middle finger. "is a harry styles reference."

i showed her the tats on my right hand. "444 is an angel number, and it represents protection and encouragement. i got the two stars, the sun, and the moon, because i just love the night sky and the sun."

"the rest, i just got because they're cool," i laughed as i pointed each one of them out.

"this one though," i pointed to the 'they come, they go' tat on the back of my left leg. "i got right after me and my ex broke up," i chuckled.

"but... i didn't get it just because we broke up. like... people really do come and go. i used to know a lot of people, but now..." i trailed off and shrugged.

"some people just aren't meant to stay," billie said. i looked up at her, and she shrugged. "like... you know?" she asked a bit awkwardly.

i let out a small laugh as i let my head dip. "yeah, i guess so. what about you? how many tats do you have?" i queried.

"i've just got two. this one," she held her hand out. "these are my sweet, little guardian angel fairies from my favorite childhood book."

"and then i've got a dragon tattoo on my upper thigh," she told me.

"wait..." i stopped her from continuing. "did you get it because of your car?" i laughed a bit.

"may perhaps," she made a face.

"i fuck with it," i gave a nod of approval. "dragon is sexy as hell."

"that's my matte black baby mama," she commented, which made me laugh loudly.

"so, you gonna let me see the tattoo, or..?" i trailed off.

"maybe one day," she shrugged as she leaned back on her hands again and licked her lips.

i narrowed my eyes at her. "now... that's rude."

"no, it's not. yo, if i wanted to show you, i'd have to take my pants off, and i'm not tryna do that right now," she laughed.

"all payne, no liam," i sighed.

"shut up!" she kissed her teeth as she started laughing loudly. i laughed too.

"nah, for real though, if you don't wanna show it, that's fine," i assured softly. "i'm not gonna make you or something." she gave a small nod in response.

we continued to talk for a while. eventually though, billie had to leave.

"i'll see you later, yeah?" i raised a brow.

"for sure," billie nodded before she stepped into my arms.

i hugged her closely. she sunk into my embrace, and she buried her head into my chest. i sighed in content.

"i'll see you later," she murmured.

"yeah, i'll see you, shorty," i nodded a bit.

before she left, she leaned close to press a quick, innocent kiss to my cheek. my eyes widened, while she sent a smile and walked away.

i felt my face flush as i just stood in my doorway. a smile made its way to my face as i stepped back inside. i shut and locked the door. throughout the day, my smile didn't falter.
