*Billie's POV*

It took me a long time to fully get over Hayden. I made it a point to avoid the art department at Interscope, until today. I was on my way to Elle's office to discuss a draft she sent me, when I walked by Hayden's office. At least I thought it was... there was someone else's name on the nameplate.

"Hey Elle, what happened to Hayden?" I ask.

"Oh, you didn't hear? Her contract was up and she decided not to renew it. Last I heard she's working as a freelance graphic designer. I hear she's doing damn good at it too. I hope to get where she is someday..." Elle gushes on and on.

"Doubt it," I mutter under my breath. "Hey can we redo this print? Conceptually I like it, but I'm not feeling the flowers. Can we scratch that and replace it with something a little more, dark?" I ask.

"Sure I'll get right on it Ms. Eilish." she says with a smile.

"Thanks Elle."

I head out from Interscope and towards home. Lately I've been seeing new billboards and graffiti pieces popping up on buildings all over the place, and it's not just LA, it's in other major cities worldwide. Whoever it is, is turning a lot of heads.

To be honest, I hadn't dated anyone since Hayden until now. I promised myself I had learned from my last relationship. I've been seeing this girl that I met through Erika. Meaning mamas knows how to cook. Although I'm not so sure about breakfast because I won't let her stay the night. It's not that I don't like her, I'm just not there yet. Hell I've been seeing her for a couple months and we haven't even done anything more than have heated make out sessions.

As I'm pulling into my parking spot, my phone dings.

Mac 💙
-hey cutie you busy?-

B
-nah mamas, just got home. What's up?-

Mac 💙
-can we come over?-

B
-define we...-

Mac 💙
-meeee.... and my sister-
-she's been bugging me about wanting to meet the woman I apparently can't shut up about-

B
-sure mamas. Imma take a shower, front door is open. See you soon 😚-

As I get out I wrap a towel around my body and make my way to the kitchen following the smell of food being made. I wrap an arm around Mackenzie's waist and kiss her cheek, "It's good to see you mamas. Where's your sister?"

"She's in the liv-"

"KENZIE YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU WERE DATING 'THE' BILLIE EILISH!!!" I hear a scream from behind me. Fuck I'm pretty sure my ear holes are bleeding now. Next thing I know I have a teenage girl hugging me while I'm in my towel. This is not okay.

"Ok sweetie, let me put some clothes on and then you can hug me all you want, deal?" I bargain with her.

"Oh yeah, shit sorry." the girl says.

"Sky. Language." Mac warns her sister.

"Sorryyy."

I slip on some fresh clothes and brush through my hair before rejoining the girls in my kitchen. I place my hand on the small of Mac's back, "Mmm this smells good... the fuck is it." I say laughing.

She grabs a spoon scooping up some of the sauce, "Open." I open my mouth and taste it.

"I don't care what it is now, that shit is fire mamas." I gush. I feel a small body tangle with mine and look down to see Sky hugging the shit outta me. "So Sky, what kinda movies you like?"

Her eyes go wide, "You know my name?"

"Uh yeah, I heard your sister say it." I say with a laugh.

"Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my FUCK! Billie Eilish knows my name!" she starts fangirling and honestly it's cute as fuck.

"Skylar Grace Jackson what have I told you about language?!" Mac snaps. Damn, angry Mac is kinda hot.

"Oh come on Kenzie, it's not like Billie actually cares if I do!" Sky says gesturing towards me.

"That's not the point Sky, and you know that." Mac says.

"Bitch." Sky mutters under her breath rolling her eyes so hard I swore I thought they got stuck in the back of her head.

As much as I wanted to keep out of their family drama, this kid is in my house disrespecting my girl. I'm not having it. "Don't ever talk to your sister like that again, that's really fuckin rude." I grit through my teeth, clearly getting my point across because the poor girl I scared shitless.

I sigh, "I promise I'm not normally this angry, but bro respect goes a long way in my book. Go pick out a movie while your sister finishes up dinner, yeah?" I say trying to make her feel a little better. She nods and darts out of the kitchen.

"That was actually kind of sweet you sticking up for me," Mac says plating up the food.

"Well you deserve to be treated like a queen mamas," I tell her, giving her a wink.

Sky fell asleep in the middle of the movie, and now Mac is cuddling with me, her head laying on my chest. The credits are rolling by neither of us wants to move. My fingers mindlessly play with her hair. I feel her hand slip under my shirt and trace patterns on my stomach. My breath hitches and she notices, "Is this ok? I can stop if you want."

"It's ok, I kinda like it."

She readjusts her body and leans up kissing my lips as she continues to touch me. One of her thighs presses against me and I raise my leg slightly to press against her. I wasn't ready for her to see all of me, but I was craving some sort of release. Apparently she was too...
