Stolen Moments // Billie Eilish G!P

Chapter thirty one

 "Hell of a way to end the day," Skye said as she drove them back to the store and Billie's car.

Billie reached across the console and rested her hand on Skye's thigh. "Alice gave me some instructions," she said.

"Oh yeah?"

"You're to come home with me."

Skye laughed. "She said that, huh?"

"Among other things, yes." Billie bit her lip, knowing now wasn't the time to tell her. "We haven't eaten dinner. How about we pick up something and take it home?"

"You sure?"

"Yes. We should talk," she said vaguely.

Skye stared at her for a long moment, and Billie saw questions in her eyes. She offered a quick smile. "I want to sleep with you tonight," she said. "We don't have to make love. I just want to be with you."

Skye covered her hand with one of her own, pressing it down hard into her thigh. "I haven't forgotten our conversation from earlier," she said.

Billie nodded, relaxing her hand, letting

Skye's warmth seep into her. After Skye assured her veggie burgers were on the menu at a local fast-food restaurant, they decided on burgers and fries and large Cokes, something Billie rarely had. She went ahead to her house as Skye went to pick up their dinner. It was a pleasant evening, not too warm. She went out to the patio and turned on the ceiling fan, deciding they would eat outside by the pool. She only wished the conversation was going to be lighter, but she wouldn't keep Alice's cancer news from Skye.

Ten minutes later Skye came in carrying two bags. Billie took one from her, smelling the addicting aroma of fast-food fries. She snatched one out of the bag, chewing with a smile.

"This is so good," she said. "Wonder why I don't get them more often?"

"Because they're not good for you," Skye said as she too stole one from the bag. She glanced to the patio, which was lit up. "You want to eat outside?"

"Do you mind?"

"Of course not. The pool looks inviting," she said, wiggling her eyebrows.

Billie smiled, wishing they could forget everything and...and get naked already. She could imagine Skye's glistening skin with the water cascading off of it.

"What naughty thoughts are going through your mind?"

At that, Billie laughed. "Skinny-dipping."

Skye's gaze held hers. "Then why don't we?" she suggested.

"Tempting...but we should talk," she said, leading Skye outside.

Billie was afraid her appetite would leave her, but one bite into the burger brought it back in full force. "This is delicious," she murmured with a nearly full mouth.

"Again, not good for you," Skye said as she bit into her veggie burger. "Not bad," she said before dipping a french fry in ketchup. "Now, what is it you want to talk about?"

Billie wiped her mouth with her napkin, then took a sip of her drink. No sense putting it off. "It's Alice," she said.

Skye put her burger down, eyebrows raised. "Something she told you?"

Billie nodded.

Skye stared at her, slowly shaking her head. "The cancer is back?" she guessed.

"I'm sorry," Billie said quietly. "She said she's known for a couple of weeks, but she didn't want to tell you."
