chance

chapter 7

My head aches slightly as I peep into the sun drowned room. Memories of chaos flit across my lids as I begin to remember everything.
A naked Billie is sprawled across my bare chest. I dare not move. She looks so peaceful.
God I can't believe we had sex, what does this mean? Does she like me? Because definitely like her, I mean who couldn't.
Sometimes it's difficult to appreciate her beauty due to those eyes, those eyes that make you forget your own damn name. But she's a literal angel. Her porcelain skin looks translucent in the honey glow of morning sun. Her brows soft and unruly. Her lids pink like spring roses.
She stirs, dragging her arm by my ribcage. My breath hitches, I really hope she didn't hear that.
Clang
Someone must me awake. As I focus, I hear low chatter from the kitchen, Claudia and Finneas.
Shit, did they hear Billie and I? I mean he's probably checked the spare room and seen I'm not there. I've figured out this is Billies room from the outlandish hype beast bed sheets, Louis Vuitton of course.
She stretches below me, her eyes scanning my face. I let a smile creep across my face.
"Morning gorgeous." She rasps.
God that was sexy.
"Morning beautiful." I return, she smirks back at me, drawing little circles on my forearm.
We hold a deep intimate stare, I hold it for as long as possible, not wanting to leave these walls and face whatever this is.
"I don't know about you, but I feel starved"
"Umm, I don't normally eat breakfast, but I definitely can today." I enunciate the defiantly, rewarding me with her intoxicating giggle.
Billie moves to the draws, picking out some clothing, before letting herself change in the en-suite. I finally realise that my phone and my bag are still on the sofa where we left them before we got, well, distracted.
"Bil!" I whisper yell.
She dips her head out with a toothbrush in her mouth.
"Yeah?" She scans my face, "you okay mamas?"
"No all my shits out there, I have no clothes!"
She roars with laughter at the state of me wrapped up in my sheets.
"Shup up! They'll hear!" I hiss.
This sends her deeper into the fit of laughter, so I just pick last nights clothes off the floor and change.
"Preferred you without."
I roll my eyes playfully as she saunters towards me. Interlinking our hands. Leaning forward, letting our foreheads connect like last night. We breathe deeply, before sharing a passionate kiss. God I already wanted to have her again.
We break apart after hearing inaudible tells from the kitchen. Still holding my head, we make our way to the kitchen.

Claudia sits at the island as Fin cook what looks like eggs.
"Vegan scrambled eggs coming right up." He looks us up and down, his eyes lingering on our adjoined hands.
"Did you guys sleep well?" Claudia cocks a brow.
They know.
"Not exactly." Bil answers.
I look down trying to contain my smirk, it's probably totally obvious that I'm down bad for her.
We sit quietly as we eat. It looks like real scrambled eggs, and it tastes so good.
"Fin, this is incredible!"
"Thank mom."
"You know, she has THE best vegan recipes." Clauds chimes in.
"Have you seen the stats for our song?" He asks.
"Nah what we looking at?" Billie pulls out her phone, "holy shit."
She turns the phone to me. My forehead crinkles in response to my raised eyebrows. Everyone seems to love it. I get up and put my dead phone on charge. The second it turns on, my poor iphone ten is bombarded with more notifications than it's ever seen.
I flick it open, and call Holly.
"You okay?" She says in a panicked tone.
"Yeah." I say unsure if I mean it.
"Well alright then my little popstar! Congrats!"
"Thank you! God this all feels so fucking surreal!"
I hang up after talking to her for 20 minutes, leaving out the details of last night.
I walk back to the kitchen, checking myself in a mirror before entering, but to my suprise, Billie and Fin had left.
I felt my stomach flip slightly, is Bil mad at me? Did I do something wrong? I check my phone, no new messages from Billie.
"Hey Clauds?" I yell out into the house.
"Yeah?" I hear from upstairs, followed by heavy footsteps down the stairs. "You need something hun?"
"Um, I'm just wonder what I'm meant to do today. Obviously I can't go out, Matt's still on my ass."
"Maybe being in the studio will take your mind off things, Fin won't mind. Plus they should be back soon."
