Once in a Blue Moon; Billie Elilish

Part 53: The Trip to Capri

For the past two weeks, my relationship with Billie has been getting stronger and we've been trying to build trust with each other. Even through our busy schedules, Billie has joined a few of my therapy sessions so that we can work on it together.

Last week we went clubbing with Billies friends and bumped into Cari at the club. Thankfully Billie was by my side and so I told her instantly. We avoided her almost all night and when she did try and approach me I let her know kindly that I didn't want to disrespect my girlfriend. Billie and I have both been busy with work and friends while also making time for dates and nightly talks before our 2 weeks together.

Tomorrow we flight to Capri for a week and I couldn't be more excited. We're at a really healthy point together, and it seems like 6 months apart made us better.

"Baby where's my blue jersey?" Billie shouts from inside the wardrobe.

"It's in the wash, I'll put it on to dry" I reply back before putting the washing in the dryer and then going up to pack my own clothes. "Bills you know we're not even in Italy for a full week" I say looking at the pile she has in her suitcase

"Yeah but we're in London for a week after" she argues "not all of us have family homes with clothes"

"Touché" I reply "Florence is really excited to see you, so is the rest of the family but her especially"

"I miss her so much" Billie says

"I didn't tell them about the breakup" I say scratching the back of my neck and sitting onto the bed "I couldn't disappoint them by letting them know I was a prick"

Billie stands from her suitcase and walks over to me throwing her arms around me "it's ok, we're together now and that's all that matters"

"We should drop shark off at your parents" I say, rubbing the back of her thighs comfortingly.
I've also done the work the past two weeks grovelling with her family. I bought Finneas a custom Lego replica of his guitar and of course went rock climbing with him to try win his approval back. With Maggie I took her out to dinner and bought her, her favourite flowers and she forgave me because she has such a big heart. Patrick on the other hand I'm sure still isn't impressed. My friends were more excited to see Billie and I back together than I was, they bought a cake to celebrate Billie putting up with me. Nice to know where their loyalties lie.

"I'll just grab his stuff, get the car ready and we can go now" Billie says

I grab the bronco keys and throw the dog towel over the backseats and also grab a dinner I made for her parents putting it in the passenger seat. Billie brings shark out and goes to get in the car.

"What is this?" She questions the two slightly frosted boxes

"Dinner for your parents" I reply as I back out the driveway

"You've done enough Y/N, you know that right?" She reassures

"I don't want to be like others where your family just forgive me because you have, I want to prove to them I'm trying" I say

"Ok dude" she says with a giggle

We pull up to her parents house and load out the bronco. Knocking at the door I stand behind Billie with the two containers still a little apprehensive.

"Hi girls come in we've missed you both" Maggie says giving us individual hugs

"I bought you another recipe I've been working on" I say shyly

"Thank you darling" Maggie says taking the containers into the kitchen "these smell amazing"

"She's really trying isn't she" Billie says nudging me with her elbow causing me to pout
