Sneaky Link 73

I brought the drink to my lips. Tasting the saltiness immediately. I grimaced but the second the actual drink touched my tongue it was better. I hate margaritas.

"Want another one". I shook my head. "I'm not even done with this one yet Omar. "Whatever you fat loser". I smiled and placed the red solo cup down. "Want a donut"? Ava offered me a mini donut glazed in chocolate. I grabbed one and smiled at her. We were at Brady's house celebrating his gym getting a second location.

It's been a week since I last saw Billie. And a lot has happened. Apparently she showed up at Sandy's studio asking for me. Which Sandy damn near went on a yelling spree with her. But she said she only didn't cause she looked depressed as shit, her words not mine.

Obviously she texted Ava if I was with Omar. And Ava told me immediately, god bless her heart.

I saw her attempts and trying but was it enough? I have no clue. I'm literally holding back from jumping into her arms. But I don't think I could ever go back to her if it was just going to be the exact same way as before. Hiding in the shadows was not it for me anymore. That much I knew.

I grabbed the little shot glass and threw it back. Then biting into the slice of lime. "Y/n someone's here to talk to you". Brady had this sympathetic look to him. "Who is it"? He didn't say a word so I just followed him to his front door.

And there she was again. My face went beet red and my heart damn near jumped out of my chest and into her hands. "I'll just let you two... yeah". Brady walked away and we were both just standing there staring at one another.

"Hi". Billie spoke softly. "I've been looking for you". I felt like I couldn't speak. "So I've heard".

"Can we talk"? Her voice cracked and she never looked me in the eyes. "I'm sort of busy right now". I opened the door wider showing her the party behind me. I could even see Sandy, Ellie, Omar, and Brady hiding behind a wall and leaning towards us.

"Oh okay I'm sorry, I'll just go". God why did I feel bad for her. After all this shit. I sighed. "But, I have your number". I closed the door so those spies couldn't hear. "It's blocked".

"Yeah well, you blocked me first". She looks so perfect right now. "I know, trust me there's a lot I have to explain".

"I agree". I bit the inside of my cheek. "Can I just say how truly awfully sorry I am. I don't know what I made you go through but whatever it is I'm so so sorry". Her nose was twitching letting me know she was trying her best not to cry. "Sorry isn't enough anymore Billie".

"You don't think I know that Y/n"? She sounded frustrated. "Can we please just meet some time. I don't know sit down and I can explain everything and I can spend the rest of my life making it up to you". She stepped closer to me and I got a whiff of her scent which was just so mesmerizing.

"Text me". I said dryly. "Can I". She looked me in the eyes and every defense I had broke. It chattered. "Can I please just hug you". I gulped. Before I knew it my arms spread open and she damn near almost made me fall with how fast she leaned into me.

This was heaven.

She held me so tightly. Her head leaning against my chest and I was scared she could hear my heart beating a million miles per hour. It took me a second but I wrapped my arms around her. And I was finally home. My head rested on hers and I wish I could stay in this warmth forever. I sniffled. I just couldn't hold back my tears anymore.

I bit my lip holding back the sounds of me crying. I squeezed her a little and as we pulled away I wiped my tears. "I'll text you". She looked at me then walked away towards her black car.
