billie's pov

"but.." i say, sitting up and looking her in the eyes.

"we can't. we can't be anything more then friends." i hate to be cliche, but ade and i dating is practically impossible. i hate to be like this, but i cant really date just anybody. especially a girl. and i didn't look at ade like just anybody at all, but i know the public will. and it's really so fucked up that i can't date anyone, no matter their sex or race or social status, but i just can't, for "professional reasons" . maybe i should just say fuck those reasons. but for right now, i don't even know if ade's interested in me like that. i'm sure she isn't.

"oh, right. of course. i'm not really ready for anything anyways since m- since my ex.." she says, trailing off. i could tell that she's a little hurt, but i really wanna know what she means by "since my ex".

"since your ex? what happened?" i ask, probably being a little too invasive.

"you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

"no, no it's fine. basically, i used to date this girl named mia." she starts. so she's into girls..? i guess so.

"and i was so in love with her. everything i did was for her. but one day i came home to see her with.. someone else. and that was it. haven't talked since then." she said as she left out a deep sigh and laid against her back headboard of her bed.

"what?!?! that's so fucked up, ade. i'm sorry." that story really made me mad. i could feel my blood getting hotter and almost boiling inside of me. why? once again, why do i care so much? i'm sure i'm mad because that reminds q and how much i loved him. yeah, i'm sure it's that.

"yknow, i would never treat you like that." what the fuck why did i just say that?! i swear it just slipped out, i didn't even think. something inside of me just compelled me to tell her that i could be better, although i have no intention of being a better girl to her than her exes, at least not in that context.

"what..?" ade asks with a small chuckle, but a serious face.

"uhm nothing, it doesn't mean anything. it just slipped out. i swear." i reassured her. i don't know if i really mean that it doesn't mean anything, but i cant have her knowing it mean something. IF it did. idk.

"good." she says playfully as she gives me a small punch in the arm and lays back down. i just smile and look at her, admiring her beauty. the way her hair was all messy was so cute. everything about her was stare-worthy, all the time, everyday, every time.

"mind if i take this spot?" i ask as i lay next to her and gaze into her eyes.

she shakes her head no and moves in closer to me, cuddling me. her arms were hugging my torso and her legs were sprawled across my bottom half, her head resting on my chest. she looks to gorgeous right now. in return, i wrap her into a hug, running my fingers through her hair with my free hand. her long, brown hair was so soft and bouncy.

"you smell so fucking good." ade says randomly which causes us both to laugh. tonight was a bit weird, but i wouldn't trade it for the world. getting to kiss her was , well amazing. still, i don't know if i want anything more then this with her but i know that this is definitely good for now.

i take out my phone and text my mom to tell her where i am so a swat team won't be looking for me when she wakes up. sure, she'll probably be mad that i snuck out but she would be even more mad if she woke up and had no idea where i was, at least she knows where i am now.

before i go to bed i open up insta and take a picture of ade's room from the position i was in in her bed, and in the photo you can see some strands of ade's hair. this'll be a good tease for the fans.

bliss w/ u.

i write and display it across the picture, then hitting the upload button and finally going to sleep.

----

it's the next morning, and my phone has been going off all night. my mom texted 10 times to basically tell me, what the fuck were you thinking, and so one, but the majority of the notifications were from people tagging me in things and shit like that. so, i open instagram to see a bunch of people screenshot what i posted last night and reposted it.

who's room is this? billie's secret girlfriend?😉

omg who's hair is that?

billie is with someone..?

that's what some of the captions read, there were just too many to read in one sitting, so to speak.

"billie, people are spreading this like wildfire." ade says as she laughs and runs her fingers through my hair.

"true." i agree.

"wanna give them something else to tease them about?" ade asks as she sits up and gives me a smirk.
ooh, scandalous ade. i like.

"you know me too well. what do you got in mind?" i ask as i look back at her.

"well, it's simple. we take a picture of us. but i'll have my hand on your cheek, and you can have your hand in my hair or something like that. and you can post it on your story and i'll post it on mine and we can each do our own little scandalous captions." ade says as she lets out a little cute ass giggle.

"sounds perfect."

we position ourselves and snap the photo, then we both start working on adding filters and editing our own copies of the photo.

on my photo i don't add many filters, i just add a song. it's a song called fucking young by tyler the creator, and i made it to where the part that was playing on the story was the very beginning, being, "the day that i met you girl, i knew that it was something special. but couldn't put my finger on it, we met through mutual friends, and this is where the confusion begin."

which really, none of that song applied to our situation. she's the same age as me, and we didn't meet through mutual friends. i just wanted the fans to hear the the first part, the "the day that i met you girl, i knew that was something special" part. that'll definitely send them crazy. and in the corner, in very small sizing, i tagged ade's instagram. someone'll find it and spread it around, but that's what we kinda wanted.

ade posted the picture as well, but on her feed with the caption,

"and i read those pages, you really love me baby."
wait a minute! by WILLOW. a classic. and that's guaranteed to send the fans into a spiral.

within like seven minutes of us posting our pictures, we're both bombarded by comments and likes and reposts and all of that shit, but we didn't mind.

"hey, wanna come chill with me? at my house? and maybe go somewhere together?" i ask ade, and she nods yes and then goes to tell her mom that she's gonna be at a friends house.

then she comes back into the room, with a bag over her shoulder. i guess she plans on staying. i have no complaints.

"let's go ba-billie." ade says, turning red. was she just about to call me baby?

"alright, baby." i say teasingly as i grab her hand and we walk out of the house, holding hands.

"what are you doing?" she asks as we continue to walk.

"well, you want the fans to freak right? just hold my hand. paps will find us when we hit the main street, and the pictures will be everywhere. just trust me." the reality is, i want to hold her hand. as her girlfriend, not just as a prank on the fans. yes, i enjoy pranking the fans, but i just wanted to hold her hand in mine. and it worked, of course.
