thirty two

ade's pov

the faint smell of bacon and eggs (vegan bacon and eggs, of course) along with the sound of pans falling and water running drifts into the large bedroom, waking me up to find that billie's not in bed. i assume she's downstairs making something for breakfast, and not to my surprise, that's exactly where she is.

"good morning beautiful." billie greets me with a big smile as i walk down the stairs and she embraces me in a hug.

"morning, love." i say to her as i tiredly sink into her hug, then pulling back after about a minute and taking a seat at our kitchen's island.

"i hope you don't mind, but i told Zoe and Drew that they can come over a bit later to see the place and help us unpack. and i ordered some furniture that should be here today too." she adds while she finishes up making food, plates it, and then slides a plate over to me while she sits down next to me and starts to eat hers.

"yeah of course i don't mind, and thank you for the food baby." i reply as i kiss her cheek quickly and then start eating too. billie will never admit or take pride in this, but she really can throw down in the kitchen. which is good because i most definitely cannot.

after billie and i finish, she takes both of our dishes and washes them, then we go into the living room to, yup, you guessed it, unload MORE boxes and set up more shit. after about 2 hours of billie and i doing things around the house, zoe and drew come to our rescue and the four of us work for another five or more hours setting things up and putting them in their places. but, it surprisingly we quick. music was playing over the speakers, we were all talking and laughing, and it felt more like a fun time with friends then a chore which definitely made time fly.

by the end of the day, we all found ourselves sitting on lawn chains in the backyard around the pool, sipping on martini's while billie drinks her classic canned coke.

we all spend at least an hour talking and gossiping until we decided to go on our phones for a bit while still in eachother's presence, but no body was opposed to the idea.

as soon as i opened instagram, my heart fluttered. billie posted the two selfies we took with the Los Angeles view in the background last night on her instagram, with the caption:

"bought a house w/ my future wife"

and i couldn't help but smile. after the past two, nearly three years of us being together (minus our break) she had never posted an official "yes, we're together" post. she'd always post pictures of us posing together on her story, her snapchat, and a few on her instagram feed, hell she even told her fans on live that we're dating. but then we stopped seeing eachother. and then we got back together. so it was definitely confusing for the fans.

she'd posted us hugging, holding hands, and cuddling a few times on her instagram story but it mainly went right over everyone's heads, except for the hard core stans of course.

nothing billie did went over the stan's heads, so it wasn't much of a surprise when the stan accounts started speculation about us being together. but the tabloids needed a set in stone yes. of course.

although this post, it meant a lot to me. it shows that she really is ready to spend the rest of her life with me, and i am too. and hey, maybe telling the whole world that i'm in love with billie fucking eilish isn't that bad of an idea after all.

ade

i texted her although she was sitting next to me, i didn't want to embarrass her by addressing it right infront of her friends, but the big goofy smiles we were sending at each other instead of addressing it aloud was enough to make anyone uncomfortable.

"alright, i guess we're gonna head out." zoe says as she gets up and drew does as well. we say our goodbyes and they're gone as well.

"cmon baby, let's go for a drive." billie says to me as she grabs her keys and walks outside to the car. i have no problem going for a ride, especially because it's been way too long since we've done that.

"so where we going?" i ask her as we start driving out of the neighborhood.

"you'll see." is all she replies with as a big smirk creeps up on her face.

"telll meeee" i plead.

"nope. don't worry it'll be worth it once we get there." she reassures me. i swear to god she better not be planning some big elaborate surprise party for some odd occasion.

"here." she says with a smile as we pull up to the Griffith Observatory, one of my favorite places in LA.

"i love this place." is all i can manage to say as billie opens the car door for me, then intertwining our fingers once i get out.

"i know you do. let's go for a walk." she suggests as we walk hand in hand up a dirt trail that takes you to the best view in the whole world. a view of los angeles.

"wow, i kinda forgot how gorgeous it was up here." i say with a chuckle as we sit down in a remote area of the trail, but it's the place with the best view.

"yeah." she replies dryly while she fidgets around with the pebbles on the ground.

"you okay billie?" i ask cautiously. i swear to god if she took me up here to break up with me....

"ok ade, so you gotta hear me out and don't call me crazy ok?" she says, trying to brace me for whatever's about to come out of her mouth.

"okay.." oh god, here we go.

"i love you. more than every thing and anything i this world. whenever i'm with you i'm the happiest, most optimistic, best version of myself. whenever i'm not with you, it's like my heart breaks in two. it's like i'm missing my other half, my twin flame. you're my other half. you're my twin flame. you're the love of my life. i want to spend every single waking second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year with you, forever." she starts.

"i want us to have kids and dogs and live our lives with each other. and look, i know i've done this before and it didn't end well, but i don't even care who says what anymore," billie says as she pulls out a velvet box from her pocket, opening it to reveal the same exact diamond ring that i loved from the night she proposed in the 'listen before i go' room. the person holding it i love even more than any ring, any item, any single thing in this world.

"so will you marry me? for real this time?" she says with watery eyes as we both chuckle.

i don't even have any words to express how over the moon i am, so i just nod my head way too quickly and kiss her lips passionately, her kissing me back as she rests her soft hand on my cheek.

"is that a yes?" she asks as we finally break the kiss.

"yes! a million times over!" i say as we both laugh with tears streaming down my face. happy tears. the happiest tears i've cried in a long, long time.

"let's get you home mama." billie says soothingly as we stand up and she puts her arm around my shoulder while my arms falls around her waist.

and within a very short ride, we're back at the house, and walking through the door.

"ade?" billie asks as we lay in bed, all cuddled up.

"yes, love?"

"i love you. thank you for always putting up with me." she says very seriously.

"i'll always put up with you, asshole." i tease which brings the cutest smile to her face.

"i love you, too." i say reassuringly as i bring my face up to hers and kiss her plump, soft lips before drifting to sleep on top of her chest.

(what do you guys want to see next? and should i update once a week or twice?)
