Meadow's Roses

10: You came!

Christmas was right around the corner.

Billie was considering Elijah's option.

Will it be okay for her to go look for him.

For the past few weeks she noticed she never seen Elijah with a girl besides his sister.

Maybe she just never seen him with a girl but she was pretty sure he dated.

She heard a few girls in her classes talk about Elijah.

It went something like he's gorgeous......Have you seen his abs?........ He is an amazing singer......... Or have you noticed his dimples....... Have you seen Elijah's new haircut?

Ew!

Billie still hadn't confronted Preston about the "Clear house Company".

Imagine if he asked how you got there or who took you?

She couldn't rat out Elijah.

That will only cause more issues between Elijah and Preston.

There was another question bouncing around in her head why were her cousins known as the "Wolfs"?

"Wolf" as the wild animal.

The animal.

Why?

Billie was for sure Elijah was a player.

Even thought he didn't demonstrated it she knew he is one.

Besides, what will happened if he got the wrong idea? Or even worst someone saw them together.

After school Nicholas called Billie to try to convince her again to spend Christmas with him and his family.

She turned him down.

She said she'll see him soon, maybe in this week.

That's what Billie spend doing majority of the day when she came from school, she practiced playing the piano.

Piano.

There wasn't one Christmas decoration within radius of the house.

No Christmas tree, no Christmas lights, or Christmas preparation.

Last year even though her mom was still sick they stayed up baking.

The next day Billie woke up until 12 in the afternoon.

Jalen and Isaac were already feed and showered.

Isaac was a pain in the back but he knew to do the right thing.

He helped Billie.

Good afternoon "Sleeping Beauty"

Don't even start with me Isaac, it's too early for bullshit.

It's 12 in the afternoon "Sleeping Beauty" it's late.

Like I didn't know that!

Where is dad? Questioned Billie
