"what? the house good? new?" danny asked me as we sat at the bar. "very. danny, it's perfect. i love it so much. she said i shouldn't move in until i figure out what im gonna do with my life, but it's in my name and it's all mine. her brother really isn't happy with me, neither are her parents."
"makes no sense, you didn't buy it. she did."
"right, but, they kinda think im a lying, hateful bitch. which isn't true, but how could i ever explain that to them?"
he shrugged, leaning back in his seat, "be like, well, i was a dummy now im not. dont you love billie?" i smiled, "do i love billie? im so in love with billie. i didn't even realize it until the other day when we were walking through the house... imagine our kids."
"yeah... nessa, you're so beautiful. i dont always think billie sees that."
no. i laughed nervously, "what?? no, she's perfect." i said, looking away from him. he grabbed my wrist gently, putting my hand in his lap, "you're perfect. she ever tell you that?"
all the fucking time.

it's not gonna be easy pulling janesa away from billie. billie fucking eilish. i met her in class, i hate college but she made studying easier, maybe because she's cute. i dont know billie well enough to care about her feelings, but i care about janesa.
"daniel, stop. you're crazy." she giggled, sipping her water. im not crazy, i know what i want. if only she could see how good we'd look together. while we were out, billie called.
i watched as nessa answered the call, her voice smooth. "kayla," she said into the phone. a bold lie, but i wasn't about to call her out. not yet.
"kayla, huh?" i said, swirling the ice in my drink, letting a playful smirk slip onto my face. "sounds like a fun night."
she shot me a quick look, then turned back to her phone. "yeah, just a friend."
i leaned in closer, my voice teasing. "are you sure? because if i didn't know better, i'd think you were trying to hide something from billie."
she sighed, glancing at me, her eyes betraying a hint of panic. "you don't know her like i do, danny. she trusts me."
"trust?" i chuckled lightly. "or is she just too far away to see what's really happening right in front of her?"
her eyes flicked to mine, and i could see that she was battling something inside. "what's your point, danny?"
"my point is," i said, leaning back and crossing my arms, "you're scared. not of getting caught, but that billie won't trust you if she finds out you're here with me. and honestly, who could blame her?"
a flicker of guilt crossed her face, but she stayed quiet, fidgeting with her glass.
"look," i said, keeping my tone light, "you don't have to choose. we can keep this little arrangement going. just friends, right? no pressure."
she shook her head, her voice soft. "danny, you're my friend. that's all this is."
"that's a shame," i said with a sly smile. "because we'd look pretty good together if we ever decided to mess around... if you get what im saying."
"daniel, i know exactly what you're saying."
her phone buzzed again, breaking the moment. she answered it, and i could hear billie's voice faintly on the other end.
"hey, baby. yeah, i'm at the bar," she said, her tone shaky.
i watched her lie, my heart racing just a little. "with who? nobody, just kayla."
after she ended the call, she set the phone down, exhaling slowly.
"still think she trusts you?" i asked, my voice playful but with an edge.
"i don't want to hurt her," she said, avoiding my gaze.
"you won't," i said, reaching out to gently brush her hand with my fingers. "besides, friends can have a little fun too, right?"
she pulled her hand away, shaking her head, but i could see the corner of her lips twitching. "danny, stop."
"stop? why would i do that?" i leaned back, my smile widening. "you're just too fun to tease. but seriously, i'm not going anywhere. you're the one who needs to figure out what you really want."
