BILLIE-HALES & ZEALOUS

Chapter 10

CHAPTER TEN

"You're cutting it fine, Missy. Where the hell have you been? I thought you were just going shopping. Now I see that you've been drinking too, haven't you?"
My Mum says, with a maddened tone. She's pissed off, only because she hates it when I drink.

"Mum, I went shopping. I just bumped into a few, old school friends. They'd asked me to join them. You know, for a little catch-up. I've only had a couple don't worry I won't be sick or anything. Anyway, do we have any food? I'm starving."
Now she's tilting her head, wondering why I've not eaten anything.
"What have I told you about drinking and not eating? You're seriously lucky your dads aren't home yet. Trust me, you're on, thin-ice young lady. We're already talking about cutting your allowances. We don't hand you money just so that you can piss it down the drain."
While she's talking, I'm pulling out a tub of leftover pizzas. There are about five slices in there. I'll take some for Zealie too, obviously without her knowing this though.
"Aren't you going to heat those first? And really, you're going to eat all that?" She asked with wide eyes. I see a little disgust on her face too.
"Starving mum, remember? Listen, I'm sorry okay, but I had a little money left over. You know, from buying my supplies for college."

I'm holding up the bag making sure she sees I didn't waste all my money. She wants to see it all, but I just quickly open the bag so she can take a quick scan of it. Luckily she seems satisfied thank god.

"Yeah, well, it still doesn't excuse you from drinking Missy.
Anyway, I'm off to bed. Some of us have work in the morning. Make sure you clean up after yourself I want no mess for when I come down here. I'll have enough with your dad's work clothes scattered around the place."
She said, and her ears pick up. Shit. Zealie, what are you doing? She heads for the patio doors, but I subtly beat her to it and look out here. I'm pretending to look for whatever it was without opening the doors.
"It's just Peppy, the neighbour's cat."
Obviously, it's not, but she doesn't know this. Luckily, she buys it and after placing a kiss on my head she heads to bed. Only before she goes, she asked why I smell like Armani. Fuck. I hadn't factored in I'd be smelling like Z. Quick, think Billie! Think!
"Oh, um... Yeah, that. Someone sat next to me, at the place we'd gone to.
I was dying so much, so we eventually ended up moving away. Jesus, it was like he was swimming in the stuff. It smelled nice, but he had way too much on."
Now she's giving me the look the questioning look, but I hold my ground and just send her an innocent smile. She shook her head, probably knowing I'm full of shit, but as I say I hold my ground and tell her to trust me. Yeah, she responds with a big Ha"
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight, sweetheart. I love you and don't stay up too late, but if you do and your fathers come home? Then please tell them to not fling their work crap all over the place."
"I will Mum, and I love you too night."
When she left the kitchen, I quickly give the cold pizza's a once over in the microwave. Then after grabbing a bottle of water for us I nervously make my way upstairs. Oh god, with every step I take my heart pounds just that little faster.
Once I make it outside my door, I stop still. Just to take in a few extra breaths readying myself for what's coming. I've no clue what's going to happen here. I'm hoping we'll just talk and sleep. Only this is Zealie. I don't think it's going to be so simple. As soon as I open the door, I quickly walk in and lock it behind me. That's when I see him. Oh god, he's there sitting outside of my window. Shit, he's beautiful. The moonlight is shining down behind him making him look like the devil himself. A sexy devil, but a devil all the same.
Eventually, he nudges his head silently telling me to open up. So Of course, I do. My hands though, they're shaking. Oh, fuck! I hope to god that we don't get caught.

Once he entered my room, he didn't even say anything. He just heads straight for my lips, turning me into mush.

"Fuck, baby, next time, don't make me wait so long. In fact, always leave it unlocked that way I can come see you anytime I want."
