Meeting The Family

You wake up fully clothed but tucked under your covers, even though you don't remember getting into bed. You sit up and rub your eyes, you stretch and finally get up to go to the kitchen and hopefully get to meet the rest of the family. You get in there and Finneas is sitting at the island in the kitchen eating his cereal when he notices you and waves his hand signalling for you to go towards him. You do and as you walk further into the kitchen and see a girl looking through the fridge, she had beautiful blue shiny hair and a long Louis Vuitton t shirt on paired with some Louis Vuitton shorts.

"Billie, get out the fridge Taylor is finally awake!" He says with a mouthful of Cheerios, spitting a bit of milk out by accident.

"Oh hey nice to meet you, as you now know I'm Billie" she greets you with a handshake and a welcoming smile. Her hands are soft and warm, you look at her eyes which are a piercing blue colour.

"Nice to meet you Billie, Now sorry if I'm being rude but where is your cereal kept? I'm starving" you say with a giggle and she looks at you and blushes slightly, showing you where everything is kept in the kitchen.

"So where in England did you stay then, I want to know about where you come from." She questioned, sitting down on a stool next to Finneas leaning her hand against her face.

"Well I come from a place called Chelsea, it's in London. I live with my mom in a 3 bedroom house with my younger sister, Jamie. She's 13 this year."

As you rambled on, Billie and Finneas seemed to be intrigued, you asked them about their lives and they told you until Maggie walked into the kitchen.

"Ok kids, your father and I are going to go shopping, is there anything you specifically want?" Maggie asks while looking at me but Finneas then stands up and decides to go shopping with his family, leaving me and Billie alone in the house.

"Hey so is there anything you want to do? Since you've never been to LA before I thought maybe you could get dressed and we could go out for a walk or I could show you around the city, it's really up to you" Billie says while biting her bottom lip, looking out the window. She really is beautiful but first off, I'm not even sure if she's straight or not.

"Actually yeah that's sounds like a great idea Billie, I'll go get dressed and brush my teeth and we can head out" I smile at her as I head off to my room quickly.

I grab some clothes out of my cupboard, white mid af1 with some nike socks, black cargo pants and a tight long sleeve white shirt. I brush my teeth and my long brown hair so it looks less like a bush.

I galloped into the kitchen with my phone and wallet, Billies head snapped round to look at me and her eyes flickered a bit.

"I like your style Taylor, especially the shoes" she winked at me, making me blush. Billie really is sweet and funny, she gives me butterflies but in a nice way.

"Thanks, I appreciate it. Should we head out, if you're going to give me a tour of the city that could take a while" I say jokingly and she laughs heading to the door, grabbing her keys before leaving.

We drive to all sorts of places in the city and never have I ever seen so many designer stores so close together. At the end we go to get food and Billie orders us burritos, claiming it's her favourite food. We talk and laugh while we eat, we've clicked really well over the past few hours we've spent together. We eventually get back to her house and we talk to her parents and brother, all bonding and having a good time. After finishing the conversation I head to my room to check my phone and text my mother when I hear a knock on the door.

"Hey it's only me, my mom was telling me I should bring you some water and some food, so I brought you a bag of Taki's since I know you haven't tried them. They're my favourite food apart from burritos so you better like them" she says as she looks into my eyes for a while, I get lost in hers as they're so beautiful but snap myself out of my thoughts as I hear my stomach grumble. I pick up the Taki's and take one out and put it in my mouth, it's better than I thought it would be and Billie gives me a small smile as she sees I'm enjoying them.

"Well Taylor enjoy your food, I'm going to go to the living room. Join if you want I'm going to put a movie on later when everyone is in bed, cuz scary movies are better when you're alone" she gives me a look before getting up and patting my shoulder when she heads to the door.

"Yeah sure I'll watch it but I'm warning you now, scary movies aren't my thing and I might need cuddles when jump scares come up" I say with a playful wink and she blushes and lets out a giggle.

"Sure, as long as I get to pick the movie" she flashes me a smile before leaving the room. I don't know why but I haven't told her yet that I'm bisexual, I guess it hasn't come up in a conversation but whenever I'm around her I feel nervous and get light butterflies.

Two hours pass and it's 11 o'clock so I head downstairs to see everyone is in bed apart from Billie, who's on the couch with her eyes fixed on the TV.

"Hey there you coming to watch the movie, I think you should" she looks over her shoulder at me, waving her hand signalling me to go in the living room. I walk over to her, she looked me up and down before turning back to the tv licking her lips then picking up the remote.

"What movie are we watching then. Nothing too scary please, I get scared really easily" she looks at the roof for a second then starts to type in letters. The Babadook? I don't think I've ever heard of this movie. She glances at me with a cheeky smile and pats my arm.

"Don't worry, this ones not too bad plus it's my favourite. I'm right here if you need me to 'protect' you." Billie jokingly says as she air quotes protect. She pats the spot next to her, indicating me to sit next to her. I move over next to her and she covers me with the blanket she was under. It was soft and a light blue colour but I don't understand how she had a blanket when it was like, 20°C in her house.

The movie continues on and hasn't been the worst, but I've accidentally grabbed onto Billies arm a few times, every time I did she giggled and patted my leg reassuringly.

I ended up falling asleep against Billie because I tried not to watch the movie, it got worse nearer the end so I decided not to watch and just close my eyes. I woke up at around 3am cuddled up with Billies arm around me and her head resting on top of mine. I liked this but I had to get up to pee, and I couldn't without waking her up, I lifted her arm off of me and slowly tried to get up.

"Where you running off to?" Billie yawned, her face was red and she looked tired, but it was adorable. It's been 2 days do I really have a crush on this girl, I barely know her.

"I just needed to go to the bathroom, I tried not to wake you I'm sorry." I looked into her eyes which were still partially shut, I couldn't help but stare at her. She was just so beautiful, even when she has just woken up.

"Are you going to keep staring or go for a pee?"she joked making me blush at her.

I quickly walked to my room to try and hide the fact I was blushing, I grabbed my pj's and started to get changed, I lifted off my shirt and I was left standing in my bra, fiddling with my pyjama shirt to try and put it on when Billie walks in without knocking.

"Oh shit I'm sorry, I didn't realise you were changing. I should've knocked" she whisper shouted and covered her eyes which made me laugh but I hurried to put on my shirt before waking over to her.

"It's ok to look now, don't worry I'm not embarrassed. What's up?" I smiled softly at her before grabbing her hand to remove it from her eyes. She lingered on the small touch and looked down at our hands but quickly looked back up at my eyes.

"I just wanted to know if instead of sleeping in this small room by yourself, if you wanted to sleep in my room. We could stay up and talk or watch Netflix all night" she looked down at her fingers and fiddled nervously.

"Uh, yeah sure that would be great actually, I'd like that." I whispered, looking up slightly at her with a smile on my face.

She grabbed my hand and led me to where her room was and opened the door, turning on the dim red light, then jumping onto her bed and patting the space next to her.

I climbed into her bed and got under the covers, laying my head back on the pillow but falling asleep almost instantly after I closed my eyes, I must've been tired after the movie.
