The bodyguard || Billie Eilish

I want to be alone, alone with you

Taylor's POV

Okay so I'm pretty damn sure now that Billie isn't straight. With a reaction like that? There's no way in hell that she's 100% straight. I smiled at the thought. I looked down and saw Billie had placed her hand gently on my leg as we sat side by side in the car. Just relax Tay.... be you... she's into you so be you.
I slowed my breathing and began looking casually out the window as cars passed by on the highway. I could hear Finneas and Brooke in the seats behind us chattering away. They seemed to be hitting it off. I smiled to myself as I felt Billie lean herself closer into my side. Fuck, she was something else....I studied her from the corner of my eye. Her hair floated loosely down her shoulders and her eyes were closed. She had an aqua beanie on and was wearing a baggy hoodie that was way too big on her. Just how she liked it. I put my arm around her casually and kept my face flat as I continued to look at her through my peripherals. With her eyes still closed, a slight smirk began to form on her lips as she leaned further into me. She smelt so fucking good.
Her hand gently squeezed my leg and I could feel her oversized rings press against the seam of my jeans.

The car slowed as we approached our destination and then came to a stop. Billies eyes shot open and as she looked up she bit her lip nervously as she took in how we were sitting together. I unbuckled my seatbelt and stepped out of the car, offering my hand to Billie which she took as I helped her out of the car.
Finneas and Brooke followed after as Maggie left the front passenger side.
We headed into the building and straight to the elevator which would take us straight to the penthouse where Billies party would be held.
The elevator doors slid open and I was immediately overwhelmed by the penthouse we now stood in. It was absolutely enormous! The layout was open and modern and the furniture looked expensive.
"Holy fuck" I whispered
"Pretty impressive huh. This is my parents penthouse I bought them for their wedding anniversary last year" she shrugged like it was no big deal.
A lot of Billies guests were already inside chattering away and admiring the apartment.
I didn't recognize any faces except for Danielle and the twins playing pool toward the back of the enormous suite.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLIE!" many of them erupted as they saw Billie enter the space.
Champagne glasses began to fill and many of the guests made their way to greet Billie.
She was suddenly ripped from my side by some people I didn't recognize and ushered into the living room. She looked back at me with apologetic eyes and mouthed the words "sorry".
I smiled and shrugged and made my way towards the pool table to greet Dani and the twins.
"Yo wassup bitch!" An already drunk Dani squealed as I approached the table
"Haha hey Dani! I hope you're ready to get your ass absolutely smoked in a few games of pool tonight" I chuckled and pulled her in for a friendly hug
"Aw hell no imma beat yo ass! Ya'll better be ready" she giggled drunkenly handing me a pool queue "take a seat boys! She about to get schooled" she poked at the boys and ushered for them to sit and watch.
"Yo were we're still playing fool!" Elijah protested
"Nah nah nah let the real pros play" She sassed at them
They both just laughed and began to watch as she broke the first shot, sinking two solids
"So tell me girl! You and Billie seem to be getting close huh?" She pressed raising an eyebrow
"Oh I uh.... I guess?" I stammered as I tried to collect myself. Dani was definitely a straight to the point kinda girl
"Yo relax girl I'm just curious" she laughed boring my sudden nervousness "she hasn't shut the fuck up about you since that night at the club" she giggled
"Oh? Why what has she been saying?" My tone changed, surprised that this was now the second person to tell me she's been talking about me non stop.
"Mmmm, lotsa stuff" she winked and took a second shot sinking one more solid "Ooooh girl I'm on a roll already!" She remarked
"I need more information than that" I smirked and shrugged my shoulders
"Hmmm.. well she thinks you're really hot. Oh and girl you should've seen how restless she was when you didn't text her! I swear she was losing her mind!" She giggled as she took another shot but completely missed her target "ah fuck! Aight your turn T!"
"Interesting" I raised my eyebrow and felt my lips pinch slightly at the thought of Billies rambling to her friends about me. I positioned myself to take my shot and sunk 4 balls. Stripes.
"Oh shit!" Danis jaw dropped as she watched the balls sink into the nets.
She shrugged it off and began downing her drink.
I took another shot and sunk 3 more. I'd played a lot of pool back when I was in hospital in the military which was why I was so good at it.
"Looks like you're the fool getting schooled Dan" Isaac burst into laughter clapping playfully.
"Yo shut the fuck up man!" She snickered back flicking him off

Billie's POV
This is exactly why I hated Birthdays. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely grateful for everyone here wanting to celebrate but I hate feeling like I have to give so much time and attention to so many people. Like I just wanna chill ya feel?
I glanced over at the pool table near the back and watched as Taylor and Dani took turns taking shots. Looked like Dani was getting her ass beat hahah! "That's my girl" I thought as I watched Taylor. My girl.... I kinda liked how that sounded. I wish I could just be alone with her for a while and not have to entertain all these people. Alone.. hmmm. Kinda reminded me of one of my songs 'hostage'. I never really had a story behind that song since Fin helped me write most of it. Maybe Taylor was the one that song was meant to be about.
I zoned out of my thoughts and allowed myself to concentrate back on the conversations in the room
"Would you guys excuse me for a little bit? I wanna go say hi to my friends" I said politely to the guests. They all nodded and wished me a happy birthday again.
Phew...Free at last
I made my way over to the pool table in the back and leaned casually up against the wall where they were playing
"Oh shit D, you gettin your ass smoked!" I chuckled, winking at Taylor. I watched as her cheeks turned slightly red and brought her attention back to the table as she took her final shot, sinking the black ball while Dani still had way too many balls left on the table. She gave the table a little finger gun shot and blew out the pretend smoke with her lips.
"Fuck!" Dani protested before throwing her queue down on the table in defeat "not bad T. Not bad" she laughed and hugged Taylor.
"Looks like we finally have someone around that's as good as pool as you Bil" Dani added, winking in my direction.
"Maybe" I side eyed Taylor and smiled slyly.
"Ayo happy birthday sexy" Dani said as she kissed my cheek. This was normal behaviour from her but my eyes shot straight to Taylor and her face dropped. Shit.
The twins both got up wishing me happy birthday too but I couldn't take my eyes off Taylor. Her head had dropped and she stepped back awkwardly scratching the back of her neck.
"Um, I'm gonna go get some air I'll be back" she said quickly as she walked out the glass sliding doors onto the balcony.
"Aight who's up for another game!" Dani shouted completely unaware of what had just happened. Her and the twins began setting up the table again.
"Yo I'll be back Aight?" I smiled at them and walked in the direction that Taylor had gone.
They all shrugged and started their game, too drunk to notice Taylor's sudden change in behaviour I guess.
————————————————————————
"Yo Taylor? Babe where you at?" I whispered as I searched for her on the balcony which was way too big. There was nobody else out here so it didn't take me long to spot her silhouette leaning against the railing looking out onto the city lights.
I approached her slowly and studied her face which had no expression as she stared out onto the horizon.
"It's  so pretty up here" she said quietly, not looking up as I leaned on the rail beside her.
"Are you okay? What just happened back there?" I touched her arm which she didn't react to
"Hm? Oh nothing it's cool" she said flatly
"Hey talk to me" I moved closer to her now
She blinked once and sighed, turning herself toward me.
"I didn't realize you and Dani were.... I dunno... I thought we were- I don't know what I thought. I'm sorry" she trailed off
"Dani and I are not together if that's what you're thinking" I said softly "Yo that's my baby sister" I chuckled now at the thought of me and her ever being a couple.
Her head tilted "oh. Shit. I'm sorry I- I just thought....and we were getting so close- well I thought we were and I- god I don't know what to say. It never made sense that you would even be interested in me so I'm sorry that I assumed..." she rambled on
"Taylor stop" I moved closer to her again
"There was just so many signals but I should never just assume these things. I feel like such an idiot... I-" She rambled again but this time I put my hand on the back of her neck, cutting her off and pulled her in. Here goes nothing.
I pressed my lips hard against hers and felt her body stiffen against mine and then loosen as she gave herself into the kiss. Her lips were so fucking warm and soft. The kiss started slow at first and then intensified as I snaked my other arm around the back of her neck and pulled her closer to me. I felt her sigh happily into my lips as her muscles loosened. Her hands fell to my hips and held our bodies together. I could feel that she was smiling so I bit her bottom lip ever so gently. Her lips melted into mine as we sank deeper into each other, allowing the kiss to take over.
