You knew me already?//Billie Eilish

August 29th:

-Lisa's pov-

After the show, we quickly left the venue and entered the van to return to the hotel. During the ride, Billie kept quiet and rested her head on my shoulder, holding my hand. I enjoyed it when she was calm like that.

However, I couldn't help but think about what would happen once we returned to our everyday lives.

We entered the hotel through the freight elevator and said good night to the others. I thanked Claudia for taking me on a walk and expressed how much I enjoyed spending time with her.

Once Billie and I reached our suite, I suggested we take a bath together before bed. She agreed, and we both got into the tub, sitting across from each other.

"So, what are your plans for the future?" Billie asked.

Her question made me feel a bit overwhelmed at first.

"I wanna finish my Master's Degree in like a year. After that, I want to work full-time, but not at my current company. Then, one day, I want to start my own business, but I'm too young and inexperienced at the moment. However, the goal is to counsel construction sites one day, transform the building sector, and promote sustainability there. But I'll have to work for a few years to gain more experience before even considering that. Oh, and I've also considered living in France or Spain to improve my language skills."

"Seems like you have everything planned out. And it's never wrong to dream big. Come here."

She signaled for me to move over and lean against her, which I did. As she held me from behind, she gently poured warm water over my shoulders and chest, which seemed like an excuse to touch my boobs, but I didn't mind.

"How about you? What are your goals? Do you even have any left? I feel like you've seen it all and done it all. How do you want to develop as an artist?"

"Honestly, I have no career goals except eventually becoming an EGOT winner. I'm just doing what feels right and what my gut tells me to. But right now, I feel a little lost. I don't know. I've seen everything but nothing at all. I'm grateful for my job and life, but sometimes I just wanna live a normal person's life, like I'm seriously jealous of you. I want to disappear but feel like there's nowhere to go."

"I feel like you handle fame pretty well. You are still so down-to-earth, and you treat everyone kindly. Being with you is like being with a normal person most of the time, as long as there aren't a thousand people chanting your name. You said you have more freedom until your next tour, so you could still travel and experience new things. Why not go do that?" I replied.

"Technically, I could travel, but only with my bodyguards always around. I can't imagine a more beautiful thing," Billie said with irony.

"It's cooorn a big lumb with knobs," I started to sing, making us both laugh. "But seriously, Billie, just do what you want to do. Don't hold yourself back. Find small workarounds, like sightseeing at night, visiting remote beaches, or visiting less crowded restaurants. Don't hide at home just because it's safe. Otherwise, you'll miss out on so much. Just step out of your comfort zone, even if that's way harder for you than others," I advised.

"You're right. I should do more of what I want and not let others plan my life for me."

After some time, we got out of the tub and dried off. I felt like that talk was something she needed; I don't know how else to describe it. We put on our shirts, and Billie cuddled up to me, laying her head on my chest.

"You did so well today. I'm proud of you. That show was insane," I said, stroking through her hair.

"Thank you. I needed that, and I enjoyed our talk, so you know." We kissed goodnight, and soon both fell asleep.
