"Thank you." I say as the cashier hands me the bag of groceries. I walk out of the store, get in my car, and start driving home.
Once I get home, I grab the bag of groceries from the passengers seat and walk to the front door and unlock it.
I walk in and set the bag of groceries down on the table in the kitchen. I grab the small pint of ice cream that I bought for Billie. I walk into the room and see Billie sitting at her desk while writing something down on paper.
"Hey baby." I say as I walk up behind her and kiss the top of her head. She stays silent, which was odd.
"umm, I got you this." I say as I set down the ice cream on her desk. "Thanks." she says quietly, I figure she's just tired.
"I don't know if you wanna eat it right now or not." I say, waiting for a response but I don't get one. "If you don't want it right now, I'll go put it in the freezer so it doesn't me-" I say but get cut off by Billie.
"Oh my god, can you just shut up already? You talk too damn much. You're giving me a fucking headache. Just leave me alone, please!" She yells at me.
I feel like someone just stabbed me in the heart. Billie had never yelled at me or been mean to me before. I have never felt this type of pain.
"Okay." I say quietly as I walk out of the room and go to the living room. I sit on the couch and turn on the TV to try to forget about what just happened. Unfortunately, watching TV didn't help distract me at all. All I could think about was how Billie yelled at me, and what she said. What is wrong with her today?
A tear falls down my cheek. I know it's probably stupid to be crying about this, but her words hurt a lot. Another tear falls down my cheek. I wipe away the tears with the sleeve of my oversized hoodie.
About another 15 more minutes go by and I hear footsteps approaching closer to me. By now, I have stopped crying, but I was still really sad about the situation. I see Billie coming over to the couch. She sits next to me.
"Hey, baby, I'm so so sorry about that. I feel so bad for what I said. I've just been so stressed with all the songwriting I've been having to do, and I only have a couple of days left. I took it out on you, and I shouldn't have, I'm so sorry." Billie says.
I softly smile as I realize that it was just her stress talking.
"But, do I really talk too much?" I say as I chuckle.
She laughs softly, "Sometimes, but I love that about you mamas." she says, making me blush.
"I love you so much, princess." Billie says as she cups my cheeks and pulls me in for a kiss.
"I love you too baby." I say after we pull away from the kiss.
"Do you think you could take a break from your songwriting? I rented your favorite movie and bought your favorite snacks. Plus, you really need it, I don't like seeing you this stressed mama." I say.
She smiles, "Will cuddling be involved?" she asks as her smile grows wider.
"Is that even a question? Of course!" I say giggling.
"Okay, let's go then!" She says as she grabs the snacks and the movie and walk into the room.
I start the movie and eat snacks with Billie on the bed. After eating all the snacks, we cuddle while watching the movie, and soon fall asleep in each other's arms.
