after the truth or dare session, there was a tension between billie and harper.

they were back at harpers house in her bed. they were both freshly out the shower.

the bestfriends just looked at each other wanting to say something but nothing coming out.

billie breaks the silence, her voice soft and a bit unsure. "faye, can we talk for a minute?"

harper's heart skipped a beat at the sound of billie's hesitant tone. she nodded, her throat constricting with a mix of nerves and anticipation.

"yeah, of course," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

the air between them seemed to thicken, the weight of unspoken kiss
that happened at the party weighing on them.

she reached out, her fingers brushing against billie's arm, sending a shiver through her.

"what's on your mind, b?" she asked, her voice gentle yet firm, encouraging billie to open up and share the thoughts swirling in her head.

billie's breath caught as harper's fingers made contact with her skin, the gentle touch sparking a cascade of emotions within her.

she turned her hand over, intertwining their fingers in a subtle yet intimate gesture.

"a lot's been on my mind lately," she began, her voice low and husky. "especially after tonight."

her eyes flicked to harper's, the unspoken truth of their shared moment at the party hanging heavy in the air.

billie's heart pounded against her ribcage as she met harper's gaze, her lips still tingling from their earlier kiss.

the thought of repeating that tender contact sent a thrill of anticipation through her.

"harper," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, "i think i might be falling for you. and it's freaking me out a little."

billie's cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and vulnerability as she confessed her feelings, her stomach twisting with a mix of fear and hope.

she held her breath, waiting for harper's response, her entire being focused on the woman beside her.

harper laughs with confusion "what billie no?" she says standing up off her bed looking at the sitting girl.

billie's eyes widened in surprise at harper laughter.

she sat up straighter, her brows furrowing in confusion. "no, seriously," billie insisted, her tone growing more serious.

"i've been having these feelings for a while now, but tonight... everything just felt different."

she hesitated, biting her lower lip as she searched for the right words.

"when we kissed, it was like the whole world stopped. i've never felt that kind of connection before."

billie's heart raced as she looked up at harper, her palms growing sweaty with anxiety.

she reached out, touching harper's arm in a reassuring gesture. "i'm scared, okay? scared of ruining our friendship and scared of getting hurt-" her words getting cut off by harper.

"what no. billie stop" she says moving her arm away from billie taking a step back "im not.. im not gay you know how my dad is."

harper furrows her eyebrows "you need to uh.. stop speaking. you dont have feelings for me take it back"
