chapter three

MADISON
i woke up early, with lip's arm draped around my waist still, except he was kinda clinging on to me now. i'd think it was cute... if he was any more than a friend i like to fuck. billie ended up texting me, so i talked to her for a while before lip woke up and it was time for me to go to work.

when he woke up, i looked at him and smiled. "hey," he smiled back, caressing my face. where is lip and what did you do to him... "you hungry?"

"sure." i mumbled, sitting up and beginning to get changed into my clothes. lip watched. when i was dressed, i stood up and stretched, my back popping. it hurt like hell because of lips uncomfortable bed, but it's whatever, right?

lip got up and before he walked out of the room, he grabbed my waist and pushed his front against my back as if he were trying to squeeze past. i could feel his boner and when he left the room, i shuddered. i needed to get out of this... situationship or whatever the hell.

i slipped on my shoes and walked downstairs, going unnoticed by lip's family, thank god. as per usual, everyone was bickering over something got to do with their dad. i walked over to the pot of coffee and poured myself a cup, leaning against the counter and drinking it as i checked what billie had texted me. we were talking about our lives, and she was currently telling me about her musician brother.

"what you smiling at?" i jumped as lip walked towards me. i looked at him and he kissed me. i was starting to get a little creeped out by his newfound liking for me. when he pulled away he glanced at my phone. "texting. hope it's not other guys." he mumbled as he put some bread in the toaster.

"it's my friend. billie. she's a girl." i sighed as he looked at me.

"right. billie, a girl. i'm going out for a smoke, you coming with?" he asked and i shook my head.

"i should get going. i have work." i told him and he nodded.

"alright..." he paused, looking away for a second. "see you."

he walked out the back door, shutting it after himself and my gaze drifted to lip's brother's boyfriend, mickey. "you're lip's new girlfriend?" he asked and i rolled my eyes, pouring out my coffee.

"mind your business." i paused. "and no."

with that, i walked out the front door and made my way to work, pulling out a cigarette. i never wanted to be a smoker... until i turned 13 and tried one of my mom's cigarettes. then, i thought it was cool because they made me look grown up. long story short, seven years down the line, i'm still smoking them.

billie said she'd be around today. over the phone, she's actually chattier. which is great. i like to have a conversation that's actually reciprocated. i told her where i work and she said she might come over when she's finished whatever she's doing.

i was glad to be making a new friend, seeing as my only other friend was lip. sure, i had a minute crush on billie but whatever. i'm not sure she likes girls, anyway. we seemed to get along well, so i could definitely see her being in my future somehow.

work was boring as per usual, nobody ever really comes in, anyway. respectfully, who's paying for a six dollar coffee every day? since it's so empty all the time, there's usually one person working at a time, so i don't know my co-workers that well. i was snapped out of my bored mood when i saw a very pretty blonde girl walk in.

"billie, hey. what can i get for you?" i asked and she shrugged.

"hey, madison. i don't actually drink coffee that much, so... make me something you think i'd like." she said and instantly i felt like i had pressure on my shoulders. as if i had to impress her or something. still, i kept it simple and went for a vanilla iced coffee with oat milk.

"sit." i gestured to the many chairs and she sat on the one closest to the till.

"you know i was thinking of going out this weekend, you should like... come with me." she suggested shyly and i raised a brow.

"you want me to come with you? why not your friends?" doesn't she have friends? is she like me?

"they're all busy nowadays. besides, we're friends, aren't we?" she asked and i cracked a smile.

"i guess we are." i confirmed. as i was behind the coffee machine i peered at billie through a little gap and admired her outfit. she wore a stripy cropped t-shirt and low-rise blue jeans where you could see her underwear. two things i saw that i hadn't noticed before is her belly button being pierced and a huge tattoo around her hip that was peeking out.

i finished making her coffee and brought it over to her, sitting down across from her seeing as there was nobody else here. she took a sip and raised her eyebrows. "this is actually really good." she acknowledged and i bit back a smile.

"thought you'd like it. you smell like vanilla so i made you a vanilla iced coffee," i paused. "vegan."

"you remembered? cute."

my eyes trailed back down to her tattoo and before i could think, i blurted "can i see your tattoo?", instantly regretting it because of the placement. billie giggled and that's when i realised, i wanna make her do that all the time.

"awkward placing, don't you think?" she asked, turning red. still, before i could reply she had already unzipped her pants. i almost moaned out loud when she pulled them down a little, showing me her tattoo. to be honest, i was staring at her red, lacy thong instead of it. how the red juxtaposed her milky skin.

i cleared my throat and actually looked at her tattoo, seeing it was a (extremely detailed) dragon that went from her right thigh to her stomach. "oh, that's actually really cool." i choked out and she smiled.

"yeah. i have two other tattoos. this one," she showed me her wrist that was decorated with three fairies. "obviously, and one between my boobs, too. wanna see?" somebody's confident today.

"why not?"

she lifted her shirt and pulled down her bra a little and my eyes bulged out of my head. how didn't i realise her boobs were this big...

"you're really hot." i told her and she blushed once again, pulling her shirt back down. "hey, i didn't see your tattoo." i objected and she rolled her eyes playfully with a laugh. she pulled her shirt back up, only enough for me to see the tattoo and i read it.

"eilish." i read it aloud.

"it's eilish." she corrected my pronunciation. "my middle name. many call me billie eilish." she told me and i nodded.

"that's actually really badass that you got it tattooed." i said and she shrugged. "not like you, i don't think."

"you don't know me."

she looked at her phone and stood up. "i gotta get going, i have work now. id stay longer, otherwise."

i stood up, having to look down at her. she's so short. cute. "see you tomorrow, madison." she said in a sultry voice.

before i had even gotten over how my name rolled off her tongue, she leaned forward and left a lingering kiss on my cheek. how is she that shy but yet she's the one making me nervous?

i forced a smile instead of just having my mouth hang open. "bye, billie." and with that, she walked out the café door.

she's seriously killing me. i'm not sure i've ever been so attracted to a person in my life, but i'm not complaining.
