Halley's Comet

Fifty Six

June 23
Santa Monica Pier

"Best!" I look up to see Iris rushing over to me making me instantly run towards her and pull her into my arms. She jumps on me and I spin her around with a laugh.

"Best I missed you!" I tell her and she smiles at me.

"I missed you more." She then punches me in my shoulder making me wince. "Come fucking visit me the fuck"

I roll my eyes and lead her to where Billie and I set our towels and things down. Billie ended up wanting to have a beach day with everyone so of course I invited the bestie. Finneas and Claudia are currently in the water with Zoe while Billie and I just been chilling, tanning.

"You know I been busy best." I wrap my arm around her shoulders and smile over to her. "How you been though? How are you and the ole dude?"

Iris smiles and looks behind her. I look up to see Amir walking over with a little girl in his arms. She looks to be at least three or four. I glance at Iris to see her give me a nervous smile.

"Uh whose baby is that?"

"His." She replies and my eyes widen. Amir comes over to us and pecks Iris' lips. "Hey baby you found good parking?" She asks him and he kisses his teeth.

"Yeah. It took me a minute though."

Iris then looks at the little girl and smiles over at her. "Hey Malia, how you doing?" The little one looks up and smiles over at Iris.

"Hii"

Oh wow

Iris glances at me and back at Malia. "Mal this is my best friend Halley. Halley this is Malia." I smile at her and she shyly looks at me before smiling.

"I'm going to go get her some ice cream. I'll be right back." Amir tells Iris who nods and pecks his lips. They walk off and I'm left looking at Iris with my jaw dropped.

"So when was you going to tell me that piece of information?"

She laughs and shrugs her shoulders. "She's mostly always at her mom's house so I barely see her. Amir introduced her to me a little bit after Christmas. She was so shy Halley. She was more nervous than me."

I smile and bring her into a hug. "Are you happy with him?" I ask because one thing I know, Iris always ends up getting hurt in relationships and I want to make sure she's happy.

"I am. He makes me so happy Hals."

"Baby!" I look behind me to see Billie finally up. Her ass fell asleep when she was tanning but I just left her there. I made sure she was coated in sunscreen and applied some more to her a little bit before Iris came.

"Hey mama." Billie stands up and stretches before walking over to me. She stands in front of me and I smile wrapping my arms around her from behind. Turning her head, she pecks my lips softly.

"Hey Bil" Iris smiles and Billie instantly smiles over at her. "Hey Iris how you been?" They begin to fall into their own little conversation but I just smile as I watch my girlfriend and best friend interact.

Iris is damn near the only I got beside Billie and them. We been inseparable since the beginning and I think of her as my little sister, even though we only a few months apart. Having a girlfriend who gets along with my day one is always going to make me happy. Iris and Billie are the best of friends and I love it.
