Is that... Billie Eilish?

birthday - 25

••☆••

Anne's pov...!

"Please, just one song" I begged giving her my best puppy eyes.

"Fuck, fine. Go choose it" she finally gave in, and I ran to the computer where we were doing karaoke. At some point, the party had moved from the living room to the backyard, so only those closest to us stayed inside. Along with that, most of the costumes had disappeared, Billie was no longer my sexy maid.

From the moment Zoe suggested karaoke, I knew exactly what song I wanted Billie to sing.

Fever by Peggy Lee.

I had watched the video a couple of times when she sang it at the Hollywood Bowl and fell completely in love.

She stood in front of the television, microphone in hand, ready to watch the lyrics while I searched for the track.

I connected the computer to the TV again, and as soon as the double bass started playing and the song title filled the screen, Billie flashed a big smile at me.

She shook her head and began to sway her body to the rhythm of the music.

The moment she started singing, chills ran down my spine. I could never get used to how magnificent her voice is. I moved and sat on the floor in front of her enjoying my private concert.

We were surrounded by friends, comfortable enough for her to signal me from time to time when the lyrics required it, and I blew kisses at her.

When she finished singing, I clapped like crazy and jumped up to hug her, with everyone else joining in with their applause.

"Best gift ever, I'm in love with your voice" I said in her ear "just with my voice?" she asked and I couldn't respond before they took her away from me.

It's not like I have an answer to that question.

Claudia grabbed my arm and started rambling about how fun the party was and I don't know what else, when I saw Billie coming from the kitchen with a cake in her hands, candles in the shape of the number twenty-two lit on top.

I laughed and shook my head as everyone started singing. This situation always makes me uncomfortable, what am I supposed to do in the meantime?

My face must be as red as my hair because when Billie stood in front of me, she started laughing while singing.

When the room fell silent, I blew out the candles staring into the eyes of the beautiful girl in front of me.

Wishing she was mine.

Not like I can't ask her to be my girlfriend, but I don't want her to feel pressured. It might be too soon to ask. 

Although, I wouldn't be upset if she asked me soon.

"Wooo" Billie shimmied her shoulders playfully and everyone started clapping.

I followed Billie into the kitchen, where she placed the cake on the counter and quickly turned to give me a warm hug. My body relaxed immediately as I melted into her arms.

"Happy birthday, mama" she whispered in my ear, pressing a soft kiss to my cheek "I'll give you your gift when we're alone" her warm breath on my skin made me shiver.

Fuck, I can't wait.

Claudia and Finneas, Zoe, and my friends all wandered into the kitchen, breaking up our little moment. We ended up chatting and laughing while I cut the cake, trying not to mess it up too much.
