Violet, a college student, experiences a thrilling turn in her life when she and her best friend, Hailey, secure last-minute tickets to a Billie Eilish concert. Their excitement reaches new heights when Hailey surprises Violet with backstage passes...
Billie and I had been in constant contact ever since that night at the restaurant. Our conversations ranged from the mundane to the profound, and I found myself looking forward to her messages more and more.
Hailey teased me about it, of course. "You've got it bad," she would say, a knowing smile on her face. I couldn't deny it. There was something about Billie that drew me in, something beyond her celebrity status. She was genuine, funny, and surprisingly down-to-earth.
One evening, after a particularly grueling study session, I was lying on my bed, scrolling through our latest text exchange. Billie had sent a funny meme, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud. A moment later, my phone buzzed with a new message from her.

My heart skipped a beat. We had texted and called, but FaceTime felt different—more intimate.
I settled comfortably on my bed, phone in hand, and tapped on Billie's contact to start the FaceTime call. A moment later, Billie's face appeared on the screen, her blue hair pulled back in a messy bun and a warm smile lighting up her features.
"Hey!" she greeted, her voice instantly putting me at ease.
"Hey," I replied, unable to keep the smile off my face. "It's really nice to see you."
"You too," Billie said, leaning back against a pile of pillows. "I thought it was about time we actually saw each other while talking."
"Absolutely," I agreed. "How's your day been?"
"Pretty good, actually," she said. "I had a few interviews and a studio session, but now I'm just relaxing. What about you?"
"Just the usual—classes, homework, and trying not to stress about exams," I said with a chuckle. "It's been a long week."
"I bet," Billie said, her expression softening. "Make sure to give yourself a break once in a while, Violet."
"I know," I sighed. "It's just hard to balance everything."
We talked for a while longer, the conversation flowing naturally. Billie shared stories from her latest tour, and I told her about my classes and upcoming projects. It felt like we had known each other forever, the connection between us growing stronger with each passing day.
"So, any plans for the weekend?" Billie asked, her eyes twinkling with curiosity.
"Not really," I admitted. "Just studying and maybe hanging out with Hailey. What about you?"
"I actually have a free weekend for once," Billie said with a grin. "I was thinking maybe we could go out to eat, just the two of us this time. There's this new restaurant I've been wanting to try."
My heart leaped at the suggestion. "That sounds amazing! I'd love to."
"Great!" Billie said, her smile widening. "I'll text you the details and we can figure it out. I can't wait to spend some time with you, Violet."
"Me neither," I said, feeling a warm rush of happiness.
We talked for a little while longer, making plans and sharing stories, before finally saying goodnight. After we ended the FaceTime call, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for the weekend. Going out with Billie felt exciting and special.
When Saturday finally arrived, I could barely contain my excitement. I spent the morning studying, but my mind kept drifting to my upcoming dinner with Billie. By the time evening rolled around, I was ready and waiting.
A sleek black car pulled up outside my dorm, and my phone buzzed with a text from Billie.

I grabbed my purse and headed out, my heart pounding with anticipation. As I made my way to the car, Billie's radiant smile greeted me the moment I opened the door and slid into the passenger seat beside her.
"Hey, you," she said, pulling me into a quick hug.
"Hey," I replied, my heart fluttering at her touch. "You look amazing."
"So do you," she said with a bright smile. "Ready for our night out?"
"Absolutely," I replied eagerly, anticipation building within me.
The restaurant Billie had chosen was an intimate little place downtown, with cozy booths and a menu full of mouth-watering options. We settled into a private corner booth, tucked away in a secluded section of the restaurant. The intimate ambiance, enhanced by soft lighting, set the perfect mood for our evening together. Even though we were hidden away, Billie's security team was nearby, watching from a distance to ensure her safety. Billie glanced around, her smile revealing her satisfaction with the choice.
"This place is so cute," I said, admiring the ambiance.
Billie smiled appreciatively. "I thought you'd like it. It's perfect for a quiet night out."
"So, tell me about your week. Any interesting stories from the studio?"
Billie chuckled. "Oh, plenty. One of the producers accidentally deleted an entire track we were working on. We had to start from scratch, but it turned out even better the second time. Sometimes mistakes lead to the best outcomes."
"That's a great way to look at it," I said, impressed by her positive outlook. "I can't wait to hear it."
As we ordered our food and settled into our conversation, it felt like no time had passed at all. Billie shared more stories from her tour and recording sessions, and I told her about my classes, my friends, and my plans for the future. The more we talked, the more I felt connected to her.
"So, any hidden talents I should know about?" Billie asked with a playful smile.
I laughed. "Not really. I can cook a decent meal, but that's about it. What about you? Any secret skills?"
"Well, I can draw," Billie said with a playful grin. "Not professionally, but I enjoy it."
"Really? That's awesome!" I replied, genuinely intrigued. "I'd love to see some of your work."
The food arrived, and we both dug in, savoring the delicious flavors. As we ate, Billie reached across the table and lightly touched my hand.
"I'm really glad we did this," she said softly.
"Me too," I replied, feeling a warm rush of affection as I blushed.
After dinner, Billie suggested we take a drive. "I want to show you something," she said, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.
Curiosity piqued, I agreed. We drove through the city, the streets gradually becoming less crowded as we headed towards the outskirts. Eventually, we pulled up to a beautiful, secluded house nestled among the trees.
"Is this your place?" I asked, awestruck.
Billie nodded, her smile widening. "Yeah. I thought we could hang out here for a while, if you want."
"I'd love that," I said, feeling a flutter of excitement.
