SLIPPING (B.E.)

{nine}

i stared intently at the door to billies office, eyebrows furrowed as i thought.

the door was left a crack open so that if i needed anything from her i could come ask. but she'd also asked me not to bother her unless it was important.

was this important? was i supposed to tell her if i age regressed if she was working? she'd told me a couple times to always tell her, but maybe this was different.

i huffed and pouted, leaning back against the couch. besides that, i wanted to be with billie. i didn't care if we cuddled or anything, i just wanted to be in the same room as her, so i could see her.

sighing, i rolled off the couch onto my hands and knees, then stood up when i realized crawling would probably be too loud and i'd disturb billie.

i walked normally until i reached the office door, tiptoed past it, then dashed for my room.

wolfie was settled on the pillows on the neatly made bed, done by billie while i was brushing my teeth despite my telling her multiple times i could do it myself.

with a big grin, i jumped onto the bed and grabbed wolfie, kissing his nose before taking his place on the pillows.

i heaved another heavy sigh, staring through the doorway of my room to the big black entrance of the office. maybe, if i was quiet, billie wouldn't mind if i was in there with her. i could just sit on the floor and colour, or draw. she wouldn't mind that, right?

i swallowed and made my way slowly back to the office door with wolfie clutched at my chest. i peeked through. billies back was to me, so she didn't see me. she was reading something on her computer, her elbow resting on the desk and her hand holding her chin.

i cleared my throat. "biwie?" i called shyly.

she spun around on the chair, smiling as she caught sight of me. "hi, sweetheart. c'mere," she made grabby hands, so i blushed and scurried over.

she caught my waist and lifted me up onto her lap. surprised, i buried my face in her chest to hide my blush, feeling her laugh.

"what'd you need, babygirl, hm?" she murmured, pressing a kiss to the top of my head.

i looked up. "um," i squirmed a little in embarrassment. "is...is okay if i be here wif you? i be quiet, i pwomise, biwie. i cowour or somefing,"

her eyes lit up. "of course you can, precious. go get your colouring book, okay?"

i smiled and dashed from the room, bounding back to mine and digging through all of my colouring books until i found my wolf one.

i tucked wolfie under my arm so that i could grab my blankie off the bed, then ran back to billies' office, tripping a couple times.

when i entered, i saw that billie had brought in a big, baby pink beanbag. i jumped on it, giggling with delight. i heard billie laughing behind me and turned to beam at her.

"quiets now, pinky pwomise," i held out my pinky finger, and billie locked her own around it.

"okay, sweetheart," her eyes were still laughing, and i could tell it was with reluctance that she turned back to her computer screen.

i settled myself comfortably in the beanbag with wolfie and my blankie, and i was content to colour for a while. every few minutes billie would glance at me over her shoulder and smile if she caught my eye. i usually ignored her, because if i didn't my cheeks lit up.

after half an hour of colouring, though, i got tired. i buried my face into wolfie and laid back, smiling sleepily and i heard billies' "awww,"

i wasn't sure how long i'd slept for, but when i woke up i found my face in billies' chest. not that i was complaining, but i was a little embarrassed my i looked up at found her already looking at me with a little smile plastered across her face.

i blinked a few times, rubbing my eyes sleepily.

"how long was i asleep?" i mumbled, my voice hoarse.

billie just shrugged. "you hungry?" she asked, tiliting her head.

just then, i was aware of my stomach snarling. i nodded and sat up, stretching.

billie chuckled. "okay, can you take blankie and wolfie back to your room while i make us some supper?"

"yeah," i scooped up wolfie and my colouring book and threw my blankie over my shoulder, stumbling a little as i made my way to my room because i was still sleep disoriented.
