Chapter seven

BILLIE POV

"You dance great tho, ever had dance lessons?" I wonder. She has the technique and the energy. She reminds me of myself.

"Nope, never. Well, only if you count making your own choreo's in front my mirror, pretending I'm on a big stage." she says. She looks shy. She starts biting her nails.

"I'm sure if you dance and sing on a stage like that, you'll win over the hearts of the whole crowd." she blushes. It looks so cute on her. I think it's my favorite look on her. And I love to have the power over that look. She'll literally blush at anything nice. I can't help but smiling.

"Avocado's?" the shy look on her is gone.

"Yesss. But make sure I remember to teach you the choreo to 'my boy' real soon. Did you make any choreo's on my songs?" I would love to see her dance again.

"You're all I listen to, of course I do." her words make me feel honored.

"You gotta show me!"

"Wait now?"

"Yes now! I'll make your dish with avocado." she looks nervous and shy again. She starts biting her nails again. I walk to her and take her hand from her mouth. "Hey. I've seen you dancing just now. You're amazing. I'm gonna make you food, you better thank me in a way."

"You're right. Okay, put on the music."

"That's what I thought." I say and put on my Spotify playlist. I take the avocado's and start peeling them, watching Jacklyn.

Her body moves so smooth. I wonder what that's like in bed. Most boys are stiff. But this girl, I bet she can do things...

Okay, that's it. I like dick. Okay? Dick. You know, those things guys abuse at any chance. Dick.

YOUR POV

I have to admit, dancing on Billie's songs WITH BILLIE WATCHING ME, sorry still fangirling, wasn't the first thing I thought I would be doing when I woke up this morning. But then again, neither was anything that happened today. But now that I'm doing it, I wouldn't wanna do anything else.

I'm in the middle my routine of "idontwannabeyouanymore" when a long guy walks in. Oh God, did I make a fool out of myself? I made a fool out of myself. I stop and look away, too ashamed to look at him.

"Uhhhh Bil, you are aware fan is dancing in our kitchen, right?" he says a bit suspicious.

"No I'm not, I suddenly turned blind aah help me help me." Billie says sarcastically.

"Okay ha-ha. But seriously, what happened you got so far to take a fan into the house and make her food?"

"Okay first, let me introduce you," Billie starts, "Jacklyn, this is my brother Finneas. Finneas, this is my waitress Jacklyn." Excuse me? I hit Billie soft on the shoulder and put on my 'mean face'. She just laughs.

"Kidding! Geez.. she works at a Starbucks. She spilled coffee on me while I was running from paparazzi," so that's who she was running from,"she didn't know who I was and invited me at hers. At her house, her dad completely freaked out and kicked her out. Now she's here. And by the way," she hits me back,"ouch. And that face, not very affective."

"Uh right, okay. Makes complete sense. Anyway, hi." Finneas extends his hand and you shake it.

"Hi, sorry about the dancing."

"Oh yeah get this, she's a huge fan of mine, which means ours. She literally knows all our lyrics." I blush a little and nod. Finneas smiles.

"Are you sure? I would like to test that out." he says. I know he's kidding, but I'm not afraid of a little challenge.

"Alright, bring it on." I say. In the corner of my eye, I see Billie slipping away, back to the food making.

"O-kayyyy I'm gonna head out, this is between you too." she says.

"Well well, okay. I sing a line, you sing the next, sounds good?"

"Sounds easy."

"Oh shit okay, I like her. We'll start easy." Finneas says and starts the challenge.

"I'm that bad type.."

"Make your mama sad type, make your girlfriend mad tight, might seduce your dad type, I'm the bad guy..."

"DUH!" The three of us scream together.

"Hey Billie, I thought you were out." Finneas says to her sister.

"Awh man but you're literally using my voice for a challenge."

"You said you were out, go make food."

"Ugh, yes dad." they both laugh. I wish I had a brother or sister like that.

"Okay next, hills burn in California.."

"My time to ignore ya, don't say I didn't warn ya.."

"All the good girls go to hell, 'cause even God herself, has enemies, and once the water starts to rise, and heaven's out of sight, she'll want the devil on her team.." Again, the three of us sing.

"Okay okay, too shy to say.."

"But I hope you stay, don't hide away, come out and play. That songs is always taking me places. It's so beautiful.

"Thank you so much, that's very sweet. Next one. Please don't try to.."

"Kiss me on the side walk, on your cigarette break, I can't afford to love someone, who isn't dying by mistake, in Silver Lake."

"Damn, you know it all. He just sounds like he's.."

"Trying to be his father."

"WHO ARE YOU?" Once again, the three of us scream.

"But nothing, is.." while Finneas is singing, my eyes lock with Billies. She knows it's hard on me, but the look on her face just gives me confidence.

"Better sometimes, once we've both said our goodbyes, let's just let it go, and let me let you, go." I add a few runs and higher notes. Nobody says anything so I decide to continue.

"Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm in my, own. I could lie and say I like it like that, like it like that. I could lie and say I like it like that, like it like that.." when I finish, Billie and Finneas are looking at me like they've just seen a ghost. Oh shit, I was flat.

"What? Was it that bad?"

"Uh no, it was that good girl." Billie says, gasping. Is she serious or making fun of me?

"It was nothing, really."

"Oh it sure was something, sweetie. It was incredible." a voice I've never heard before suddenly says. I turn around and see a woman, looking both powerful and so sweet.

"Hey mom, this is Jacklyn. Long story short, she spilled coffee over me, got kicked out of her house and is a super fan. Oh about that house kicking thing, can she stay here for a while?" Billie says. What did she just say? She wants me to stay here?

"Oh no you don't have to do that. It's okay, I'll stay at Ruby's." I say. I don't want them to think I can't take care of myself.

"Are you kidding? Of course you can stay here. It's Maggie, by the way." she sticks out her hand for me to shake it, but I feel the sudden urge to hug her. So that's what I'll do.

"Thank you so much for letting me stay. I don't wanna bother you." she hugs me back like a real mother.

I can't remember the last time my mother hugged me like this.

I start tearing up a little but manage to pull myself together when I feel the tension being lift, indicating she's gonna let me go.
