Once I get to the O'Connell house, I knock on the door waiting for a response hoping Billie won't answer even though she probably knows I'm coming. After a couple of minutes the door opens a gap showing maggies face through the door.

"Reese!!!!!" she yelled bringing me into the classic tight mom hug. "I didn't think you were going to come"

She invited me into the house and brought me into the living room and going into the kitchen to get both of us a bottle of water. When she comes back we have a general conversation and how the work is going which by the way i got the job! Yeah  i have met her a couple  of times since right now shes on a break from everything but she was really nice and apparently looking forward to working with me.

About an hour later she started cooking so i walked into the kitchen with her talking and helping her with anything she needs doing. Mid way through Finn actually came in from his house and he stood there in shock.

"Finny boy, You doing ok you look like you saw a ghost" i joke

"I- dude I didn't think you would come back" he said bringing me into a hug.

We talked for a while catching up and he dismissed himself back to his bedroom working on his own music after grabbing a cup of water.

After a while Me and maggie headed to the dining table just to chat. Apparently Klara made a friend so she's over her house right now so I would be able to see her later but that's not the person that's on my mind.

Ever since I flew back to the Uk. Ever since the incident on the plane Billie has always been at the back of my mind. Why wouldn't she be? Wait why would she? Obviously I'm not good enough for her for her to cheat on me yet if she asked "wanna fuck?" Best believe I'm getting on my knees.

The fuck. I'm the top in the relationship. Well for the sec why am I submitting to her. It's obvious I'm not over her but for me to still be this under her spell maybe it had turned into obsession.

As I'm in my thoughts the door opens. Could it be her yet Patrick went to get Klara so it might be my baby girl. I generally thought it was Klara until I heard her voice.

"Hey boy" echoed through the house obviously talking to shark a couple of seconds later she walks into the kitchen standing there in shock.

It was clear she was having all type of thoughts. Like what am I doing here. I think that's her main one. I was actually happy to see her maybe we could've gone back to how we use to be within time. I look at her up and down and that's when I see her neck. Hickeys.

She has obviously tried to cover them up whether she didn't do the best job or maybe the heavy lashing of rain made the hickeys more visible Im not sure but one thing I know is those are fresh fresh. Like I'm talking a couple of hours ago. So she's already moved on.

"Reese babyyyy your back" she said speed walking over to me instantly wrapping her arms around me. I fight everything not to just turn into mush in her arms

"Billie " I say standing still patting her back slightly every couple of seconds. Eventually she understood what I was putting down and pulled away still looking me up and down going to sit opposite where I was previously sitting.

Silence filled the room more than normal. The tension was high and it didn't help the casual eye contact we would make between eachother causing us both to look away after a couple of seconds.

"So Reese I made-. Oh hey Bil I wasn't expecting you for another hour or so" Maggie said standing in the arch way between the kitchen and the dining room holding a tray of food. She made a couple of glances at me with a sorry look in her face.

"I'm just- Im just going to go to my room" billie said standing up and walking down the corridor to her bedroom.

"I'm so sorry Reese I swear she wasn't suppose to come home for a couple of hours. By that time I would have told you so you would've had the option to leave if you were too overwhelmed"

"It's all good. I mean it was gonna happen eventually right" I smiled at her while taking a cookie off the tray and taking a bite practically moaning at the taste of the homemade cookie.

"If anything. You cookies." I say taking another bite "are the best thing to be created" I say finishing it off and slumping in the chair.

We started talking about Klara and how her epilepsy has been. I mean I've been away for just over a month so I wasn't expecting a change and thankfully I was right.

With that the door opened and little feet sounded running across the floor heading towards the kitchen. "Grama, look what-" she paused looking at me slightly rubbing her eyes making sure she's not dreaming

"Hey baby girl" I say and she squeals "mama"running towards me as I pick her up spinning her around.

"Gosh I've missed you baby" I said rocking her back and forth slightly as her head automatically goes into the side of my neck.

I felt wetness on my neck and that's when I heard a little sniffle. She's crying.

I pull away and look at her with tears rolling down her face. I can't leave her again. If it's got her this sad I would be such a fucking monster.

"It's okay beautiful I got you. Mamas not gonna go anywhere" I said rubbing her back trying to calm her down.

By this point Patrick comes into the room and we side hug which I start basic conversation with how's he been.

God I've missed my new family.
