♡︎ Frankie ♡︎
Waking up with tense muscles and joints, I do my best to stretch them out as best as I can without waking up the smaller girl laying on top of me. We ended up falling asleep on the couch after packing up some of her stuff and she refused to be anywhere but attached to me for the rest of the night.
Billie groans and whines letting me know I am moving far too much for her liking. Carefully I ease her off of me and attempt to lay her on the couch until she starts to whine again. "Sh sh you're okay darling, you're okay" I whisper while I rub her back until she settles. I grab my phone off the coffee table checking the time, twelve o'clock already? I also have a few messages from Ava, Jordan and Finneas.
Ava was sending her love and letting me know she is here for me if I wanna talk or anything once Billie leaves. Jordan wants me to tell Billie that she'll miss her so much and that I should let her keep me company for s little while after Billie leaves.
I totally appreciate that they are concerned for me but I really wish I didn't have to wake up to those messages. It's not the way I wanted to start off the day, but I guess it was inevitable seeing as Finneas should be in town by now. Checking his message I can't help but notice the aching feeling in my chest.
Finneas
hey you and Billie should join Claudia and I for lunch!
sounds great! I'll get Billie ready
great, we should be near your around 2:30, does that work?
that's perfect :)
Tossing my phone to the side I get up off the couch and head to the bathroom to do my business. After that I go to wake up Billie but when I get closer to her I see she's already awake just looking up at the ceiling.
"Hey bee" I croak softly kneeling beside her.
"Mornin' Fwankie" she gives me a warm smile.
"Ready to get up? Finneas wants to go out for lunch with us" I say brushing loose strands of hair out of her face.
"Okay" is all she says before making grabby hands at me. Scooping her up, I rest her on my hip as we walk to the bedroom.
"Can you pick out what you wanna wear while I run your bath?" I ask trying to set her down but she only clings on to me tighter. "What's the matter, darling?"
"Stay wif mommy" she mutters, snuggling her head into the crook of my neck.
Not bothering to say anything, I look through her bag for an outfit. Nothing exciting, just a pair of burgundy sweats and a matching hoodie with a white t-shirt to wear under it. Next, I pick out my outfit; just some boyfriend jeans, a white long sleeve shirt and layering a black graphic tee over top.
In the bathroom, I put Billie in the bathtub filled with bubbles. Usually she is so happy when there are bubbles but not today. I understand why she isn't in the greatest mood but I really don't her or me moping around the rest of the day.
"Baby I know this isn't the happiest of day but if I promise to try and smile, can you do it too?" I say cupping her cheek.
"Biwie not happy so cant smile" she croaks.
"I know, sweet girl I know. But you don't wanna spend your last day with mommy sad do you?"
"No" she frowns.
"Okay good, me either. So how about this, if we can both try not to be so sad we can ice cream after lunch. How does that sound?" I chuckle when her smiles at the mention of ice cream.
"Okay momma, I twy" she locks her pinky with mine before kissing them. I kiss her forehead and then her cheeks making her giggle.
I get her washed, dried and dressed then myself. I don't stress too much about my hair because it looks presentable enough for my liking. Billie wanted me to give her two space buns so I was happy to do that for her.
About an hour after watching tv and eating cereal to hold us over until we went it, I get a call from Finneas.
"Finneas, hi!" I answer.
"Hey, Frankie. I was wondering you could tell me your address so we can pick you two up?"
"Oh okay, its 843 Prescott Lane."
"Great, gps says we should be there in five minutes!"
I say okay and he hangs up, tucking my phone into my back pocket I pick Billie up off the couch.
"Finneas is coming to get us soon so can you get your shoes on while I pack your to-go bag?"
"Mhm" she nods affirmatively.
I put her down and grab her sparkly green backpack putting her stuffie, pacifier, blanket and sippy cup inside along with a pull up or two just incase. I slip on my sneakers before helping Billie tie hers.
Getting a text from Finneas letting me know he's outside, I help Billie off the floor and grab her bag. "Ready to go, darling?" She nods, grabbing my hand as we head out the door.
