Is that... Billie Eilish?

dad - 16

••☆••

Anne's pov...!

Joseph bragged the whole way back about how he had gotten the girl's number, but when Billie dared him to text her, he started making excuses.

We dropped him off at my parents' house and agreed to drive separately in our own cars to my place since I had driven there in my car.

Of course she arrived first, that girl likes speed.

I got out of the car and she smirked leaning against the hood of her car, one of the hottest things she does.

"Let's go" I gestured for her to follow me, and she moved from her position calmly, almost tiredly, and began to walk.

Once in my apartment, I went straight to my room to grab one of the hoodies I stole from her and put it on.

She gasped when she saw me "when did you take that one?" I shrugged "do you want something? I'm gonna make tea" I didn't respond to her question and headed to the kitchen, she followed me.

"I'll drink a tea too" I nod and start filling the kettle to heat water. She has been to my house before so she goes to the cabinet where my cups are and takes out two, leaving them on the counter. I take out the tea bags and sugar.

We make a good team.

We could be doing a different kind of teamwork though.

I grab the now full cups and take them to my little spot on the terrace, we take a seat and I curl up in my chair. Billie frowned and leaned towards me, grabbing the armrest of the chair and crawling close to her making me laugh a little amazed.

I always look for a little physical touch with people who are close to me so I grabbed her right hand that was still on the armrest and brought it towards my lap playing with her fingers and rings.

Billie's pov...!

"I love this view" Ann said looking in front of us to the city lights "yeah, me too" I said looking at her.

I raised the cup with my free hand to take a sip while she played with my other hand. She does that a lot and I think it's so cute, sometimes I feel like she doesn't even realize she's doing it.

We shared a small comfortable silence looking ahead until I heard her soft voice again gaining my attention, but she wasn't looking at me, so I could appreciate her beautiful profile.

"Remember my dad thing?" I hummed in responded and she sighed "well, it's not a big deal but, I dunno. I've never really had a father-duagther relationship with him, he just stop parenting me when I was like 10 maybe" she started and I shift in the chair to face her to give her my full attention.

"He was never close to me like he was with my sister and I never understood it. Everyone around me said that I just had to learn to know him, which I tried for years, I swear" the lights outside shone in her eyes, revealing her beautiful teary eyes. I stroked her hand that was still playing with mine and she glare at our hands before looking ahead again.

"I never received a response from him so I gave up" she shrugged "of course my whole family blamed me, saying that I was going to regret not forming a relationship with him but, it's not my fucking place to form a relationship with him, he's my dad, he should make an effort" I saw how a single tear ran from one of her eyes but before I could do something she wipe it away quickly.

She laugh sadly and continued "fortunately, I was already making plans to move here when that happened, so well, I left and stopped talking to him, but not before shouting some truths in his face" I smiled a little at what he said.

"That's my girl" I said softly and she laughed making her drop a few tears that i quickly wipe away "that sucks love, you're so right, he's the one how should have made the effort not you" she finally looked at me and my heart hitched at seeing her like that.

Without a word I pull her in my arms sitting her in my lap, she put her head in the crook of my neck as she has done other times, sending chills through my body.

"I don't wanna cry about it" she said and settled closer to my neck "but is good for you to let it out" I said and tilted my head a little to rest it on top of hers "I know" she snorted making my skin crawl.

Not the time Billie.

We stayed like that for a long time just in a comfortable silence, she didn't cry or at least I didn't notice it but I did feel her relax in my arms.

After a while, even though I refused, she got up from my lap and adjusted her chair so that she could sit and at the same time rest her legs on my lap.

"Did you know that cows have best friends?" I raised my eyebrows and chuckled at the sudden change of conversation.

One of the things I like about Ann is that she can tell you random facts anytime, we also share the passion for questions without answers which leads us to have interesting and nonsense conversations.

"Really?" I asked and keep caressing her leg "yeah, they can form close friendships and have been observed forming bonds with other cows in their herd. They even show signs of distress when separated from their best friends" she pouted and I try to resist my urge to kiss her.

We keep talking without paying attention to the time, I just really enjoy her company and I can tell that it is mutual. I feel like I could talk to her for hours and hours without stopping or even just accompany each other in silence.

"How did you even get to that conclusion?" she asked kinda disgusted and I laughed "I picture in my head that way and if takes me to be under water for who knows long I'll do it" i shrugged.

I don't know how we got to the topic of our fears, but we have one in common: water. She keeps saying I'm crazy for wanting to overcome my fear, but I'm like 'fuck it'. I've lost count of how many times I've done things with water for my videos, this will not be the exception.

Even though it's not a video, I still have this idea for my album cover, and it needs to be the way I see it in my head.

As I kept rambling about my idea, I turned my head when I didn't get a response.

"Ann?" I laughed to myself at her poor attempt at humming "let's get you to bed princess" I spoke to the air more than anything because I doubted she was paying attention to me.

I gently moved her legs from my lap and stood up. I passed my hands underneath her thighs and along her back carefully not to wake her. She might have been somewhat conscious because she slid her hands over my shoulders, hugging me.

I positioned her on the bed and she opened her eyes slightly.

"Where you goin'?" she blurted out the question almost without pausing between each word "I'll be right back baby, get under the covers" I squeezed her thigh and started my way out hearing a tired 'you better' making me smirked.

I gathered our things left on the terrace, placing them on the coffee table, and went back outside to fetch the cups to put them in the kitchen, closing the French doors behind me.

When I returned to the room, she was halfway under the sheets. I shook my head, smiling.

She's so cute, I can't handle it.

I strip off my clothes, remaining in my underwear and t-shirt. I lay down next to her, and immediately she cuddled close to me melting my heart.

Fuck.
