I can feel Billie getting more nervous and tense. Her leg bounces up and down and I can see the worried look in her eyes. We're in the waiting room of the dentist, waiting for them to call her in and remove her wisdom teeth.
I squeeze her hand a bit to let her know it's going to be okay. She softly smiles.
"It's gonna be okay baby, you won't even feel it." I say softly.
"Yea, but I know i'm going to be in pain after." She says frowning.
"I know mama, but it's only going to be for a couple days and we're going to get painkillers for you. I'll be with you and I'll do anything to make you feel better." I say as I trace circles with my thumb on her hand. She smiles again and calms down more.
"Billie?" I hear someone call from the door leading to the dentist's office. I see Billie start to worry again.
"Hey, just breathe okay? Everything's going to be fine. It'll be over before you know it." I say as I let go of her hand and kiss her cheek. She nods and sighs as she gets up out of her chair and walks into the dentist's office, leaving me alone with Finneas.
- 1 hour and 30 minutes later -
"Finneas and Y/n?" I hear the dentist call. I look up at him.
"She's ready to go." I smile as I walk into his office and see Billie laying on the chair.
Finneas and I talk with the dentist about how to take care of her. Once we are done, I grab my bag and start getting ready to head out.
"Come on Bil, let's go." I say as I reach my hand out to her. She grabs my hand and gets up out of the chair. I wrap my arm around her waist and help her walk out of the dentist.
We get outside and start walking towards the car. "How do you feel Bil?" Finneas asks.
"Like I'm on top of the worlddddd!" Billie says making Finneas and I laugh. I was expecting her to act like this after she got her wisdom teeth removed.
Finneas gets in the driver's seat and I open the back car door. I help Billie get inside and then get inside myself. I help Billie buckle herself since she's basically high right now. Finneas starts driving to the pharmacy to get Billie's painkillers.
"You're pretty, anybody ever tell you that?" Billie slurs with cotton balls in her mouth.
"Yea, someone actually tells me quite often." I say as I chuckle.
"Well they're right!" she says, making me smile.
I watch Billie as she stays silent and just stares at her hand for about a minute.
"What are you doing Billie?" I ask, giggling.
"Am I supposed to have 6 fingers? I thought it was only 5? Am I an alien?" She asks, causing Finneas and I to laugh again.
"No you only have 5 fingers. Look..1" I say pointing to her thumb. "2...3...4...and 5" I say pointing to the rest of her fingers.
"Yea, and 6." She says pointing to an imaginary finger. "Oh you're right, I missed that one, guess you do have 6 fingers." I say chuckling. She gasps as she continues staring at her hand for about another minute.
We arrive at the pharmacy and Finneas goes in to get Billie's painkillers, while Billie and I wait in the car.
"psssst.....psssst." I hear Billie whisper. I look over to her. "Look what I have" She says as she holds the bloody cotton ball that was in her mouth.
"Eww Billie! That's nasty!" I say laughing. "Put it back in your mouth! You're not supposed to take them out." I say.
She pouts as she puts it back in her mouth. I quietly wait for Finneas to come back. I see Billie staring at me from the corner of my eye.
I turn to her slowly. "Why are you staring at me?" I ask as I giggle. "Cause you're so FINE" she says, shouting the word "fine". I smile and blush as I look away.
Finneas finally comes back and starts driving home.
"Can we get Taco Bell?" Billie asks.
"The dentist said you can't eat for a couple of hours Billie." Finneas says as he looks at her from the rear view mirror.
Billie pouts again. I giggle, "It's okay, I'll take you to get Taco Bell when you can eat again." I say.
"Promise?" She says holding up her pinky, making me chuckle. "Promise." I say, wrapping my pinky around her pinky.
We arrive at Billie's house. Finneas and I help Billie get out of the car and into the house. Finneas goes to the kitchen and starts opening the bottle of painkillers. I take Billie to her room and lay her down on her bed.
Finneas comes in and tries to hand Billie the painkiller pills and a glass of water.
She groans and pushes Finneas' hand away, refusing to take the pills.
"Billie, take the pills, they're gonna make you feel better." I say trying to get her to drink them. She shakes her head and crosses her arms.
"C'mon, just take them so you won't be in pain later." I say as Finneas tries to give them to her again.
She thinks about it. "I'll only drink the pills if you agree to cuddle with me after." She slurs.
"Agreed." I say right away, I was already planning on cuddling with her anyway.
She puts the pills in her mouth and drinks the water. She gives the empty glass back to Finneas.
"Hope you feel better Billie." Finneas says as he walks toward her door to exit the room.
"Thanks, now get out! It's cuddle time." She says making Finneas and I giggle. Finneas leaves the room and I lay down next to her.
We both lay on our sides. She buries her face into the crook of my neck and I wrap my arms around her body. I relax as I feel her warm breath on my neck and her heartbeat against my body.
"You smell good." Billie says after a few minutes of silence. I laugh as I begin stroking her hair. "Thanks." I say as her eyes begin closing and she drifts off into sleep.
