'keep my mouth closed cause my thoughts, sometimes it get too deep'

just as promised, today i'm meeting the rest of Evangeline's family. which also includes her grandparents or both sides. it's starting to get more hot in the day time, my album comes out in a few days.

this is my only free day and i'm happy i get to spend it with my favorite person.

i'm nervous again though, and it's insane how many people i meet and i'm not nervous. i've preformed in front of thousands of people before and i'm terrified to meet a few people.

"thank you so much Marie." i tell the woman, paying for the flowers.

i'd went to the flower shop near Eva's house to get her and the other woman of her family their own bouquets.

i'd already went to the farmers market and got some additional fruit, per Evangeline's request.

i know how much she likes when my hair is pulled back so i had my hair in a low ponytail, a shirt that was tighter fitting and less jewelry than usual, black baggy cargo pants with a belt.

my converse cover my feet comfortably for the time that i'll be standing up. i park my car, somehow managing to carry everything in my arms to the front door.

my finger presses the doorbell and it's opened by Evangeline a few seconds later. there's a toddler on her hip, who hides when he sees me.

"hi princess."

"hey, everyone's in the living room right now. and this little man is JJ." she follows me into the kitchen and i hand her one of the bouquets.

"you got me flowers again? you're the only person who's ever gotten me flowers." she smiles at me.

i grab the rest of the bouquets and i follow Eva as she walks into her living room. the living room was brighter, the sun shining in and there's was laughter and talking. it felt so...warm and welcoming.

"this is Billie."

"oh my god! when you said her name was Billie i never expected Eilish." the woman sitting down has a shocked expression and i give her the bouquet of lilies.

"Heaven i'm guessing?"

"yes–i'm so sorry. i'm Eva's older sister." i give her a hug, knowing she's clearly a fan.

next is Mémère, Jane's mom and she mostly speaks french but understands and speaks english.

thank god i've done French the past four years.

then Braydon's mom, Grammy.

then it's Eva's brother and everyone ends up being so nice. i can see how Evangeline is how she is now.

"okay, it's so nice to meet you all. i have to get started on cooking."

"oh Billie, can you come outside to talk with us real quick?" Braydon asks.

i nod my head and follow the five men outside, Luke, Braydon, Pépère and Pops, and James.

Luke lights a blunt and they start to pass it around each other and when it's offered to me i feel stuck.

i mean, of course i smoke. but is this a trap is the real question.

"it's not a trap, you don't have to if you don't want to." Luke chuckles from his seat and i take a couple hits.
