Moments // Billie Eilish

Chapter 4

The walk to the café only took around 15 minutes and soon enough we were walking through the doors as Lucy made a joke about someone at school, that had Pen and I pissing ourselves with laughter.

"Dude I wish I was joking but his eyes really don't share the same post code. They are so far away from each other on his face, I can never pick which side to look at" she said trying not to laugh. Which made Pen and I giggle more.

The café ended up being a vegan one. I for one love vegan food, however the three of us have had some pretty shitty run ins with vegan food back home that we don't really trust cafés anymore.

"I'm tired and hungry let's just stay here, plus the coffee smells good, and that chicks smoothie looks amazing, give it a chance thots" I begged them.

Pen rolled her eyes, while Lucy looked apprehensive. I walked up to the counter grabbed three menus and turned back around to give them to the idiots behind me.

"Stop being pussie's let's just stay" I told them.

"Ugh fine, but if I'm not full, then I am blaming you" Pen said with a pointed look.

"Yay! Love you's" I said and approached the counter.

I smiled at the lady behind the counter and looked into the glass display unit, holding wraps, sandwiches and brownies. Oh, my fucking god. I slapped Pen and Luce to get their attention. They gave their attention to me with raised eyebrows.

"Vegan brownies slap hard, so shut the fuck up" I yelled to Lucy and Pen.

"Oh Mamas, don't I know it" an all too familiar voice said behind me.

I stood up straight and froze, making eye contact with Pen and Luce. No fucking way, no I don't believe it. I spun around with my heart beating in my ears.

Holy fuck, a black haired goddess dressed in neon was standing in front of me with a big smile, trying to contain her laughter.

"Yo what the actual fuck..." I whispered to Pen and Lucy leaning towards them.

Billie held eye contact with me, and I felt like I was going to faint. I snapped out of my daze and composed myself. Or at least I thought I did.

She let out another chuckle and held her arms out.

"Ahahahaha aww, come here love" she said to me.

So, I went into her arms for a warm embrace. I opened my eyes to see Finneas, Claudia and Zoe all smiling at the exchange and I timidly smiled back.

I pulled back much to my dismay. "Holy fuck, wait no, I didn't say that." I mumbled embarrassingly.

"Hi, how are you?" I asked Billie, finally getting the words out. I never get flustered like this, but damn this bitch caught me off guard.

"I'm great now, you guys are so cute. I just watched yall argue about staying here to eat and I am glad you did. You guys seem cool, join us." She said and looked behind me to Lucy and Pen.

"Oh no, we wouldn't want to intrude on your afternoon at all" I said back.

"You wouldn't be intruding at all mamas, it's cool plus you can show us around the city after" she offered with a grin on her face.

"Oh my god, yes of course as long as you guys are ok with it then absolutely" I said looking back at the girls, who wore the most shocked and exited expressions ever.

They started shaking their heads in agreement with big grins on their faces.

"Oh, and what's your name love?" Billie asked me.

"I'm Harrington, Harrington Keys but just call me Harri, the blonde is Lucy and the brunette is Penelope, but we call her Pen." I told her with a laugh.

"Harrington, I like that" she grinned back at me, testing my name on her tongue.

Woah now that's a sentence I never in a million years thought I would ever be saying. Once we were all introduced to Finneas, Claudia and Zoe, we ordered our food and sat down at one of the larger tables. Because of the booth like setup I was in the corner with the wall on my left and Billie on my right. Yes, Billie wanted to sit next to me, crazy I know.

Pen and Luce sat across from me in a conversation with Zoe, Claudia and Finneas. Leaving Billie and I to our own devices. She turned to me and held eye contact again before breaking the silence.

"So, you coming to the show tomorrow night Harri?" she asked me with a warm smile.

"Of course! That's why Luce, Pen and I are in the city. We actually live a few hours away on the coast but drove down this morning to get shopping in" I said with a laugh.

That brought a smile to her face, "well you and your friends should come to the venue early so we can hang, you seem pretty cool mamas" she told me with a cheeky smile.

Holy shit, I thought. Billie Eilish wants to hangout. Jesus don't wake me up if I died because there is no way in hell that I am going back to reality if this isn't real.

"For real? That'd be sick, thank you so much Bil!" I exclaimed, but stopped myself.

"Oh sorry, I shouldn't call you that" I started to apologise but she cut me off.

"No mamas, you can call me whatever you want" she said to me, but quiet enough for only me to hear and placed her hand over mine while smiling at me again.

I stared at her grey eyes for god knows how long before someone cleared their throat. I snapped out of my trance and looked around to whoever interrupted my peaceful moment. A slight blush took my cheeks, hopefully you couldn't tell due to my tan and freckles. I looked up to see the waitress from earlier with my food. I smiled and thanked her before taking my very late lunch.

I ended up ordering an avocado toasty with vegan cheese, ice latte on oat milk, and of course the vegan brownie that caught my eye. With the whole fest in front of me I began to dig in to find a bite already taken out of my toasty. I looked to my right to see Billie with a mouth full of food, however her meal hadn't come out yet. I pouted my lips and knocked her shoulder with mine, to which he responded with a burp in my face that had us both dying of laughter.

As we calmed down, I looked at Pen and Luce to see them smiling with Zoe at us. I blushed again and looked back down at my food before taking a big sip of my iced latte.

"Soooo- , how are guys enjoying Australia? Queensland in particular?" Pen asked the group.

Finneas spoke first after clearing his throat, "I love it here, the weather is so nice and the beaches here are so beautiful. Claudia and I had the best time in Townsville" he said looking at a nodding Claudia with a warm smile.

"Yeah, we had a day off in Townsville and went on a boat that took us island hopping. It was so amazing" Zoe said.

"Yeah where we live, we have a part of the beach that no one really knows about because it seems rocky, but really isn't. That's where we spend a lot of our time at home" I said while pulling out my phone to show them.

"Wow, we have to go that looks amazing!" Billie said excitedly. "Fin, how many free days do we have before leaving?" Bil asked her brother.

"I don't know Bil, you'll have to ask mum" he told her.

"Hopefully it's enough" she whispered to me with a smile.
