the after parties were thrilling, but draining leaving both you and billie ready to change into pajamas and go to bed. you already were sleeping over at billie’s place, but now even more billie wasn’t going to let you go home as you snoozed peacefully on her shoulder, in the back of her drivers car.

or so she thought.

you closed your eyes a few minutes ago, but the noise and bumps of the road wouldn’t let you fully sleep. so you just enjoyed the comfort of your friend, and rested your eyes.

thinking you were knocked out, billie pulled out her phone, heart bursting and unable to wait to update her group chat.

billie: guys…

odessa: CONGRATS ON THE GRAMMY BITCHHH!!!

quen: grammys redemption arc giving hmhas what is deserves

billie: thank you, thank you… but GUYS

billie: i can’t fucking do this she’s so cute and she’s gonna want to be all sweet and snuggle later

odessa: and that’s a problem with you becauseeee??

quen: LOLLL

billie: no, no it’s not a problem.

‼️ quen: dude if u don’t kiss her tonight i’m rescinding my friendship

odessa: odessa emphasized a message

billie: oh my god the drama

quen: ur telling me u DON’T want to kiss her?? u only tell me about fifteen times a week how badly u want to but all of a sudden u don’t??

billie: STOP

billie: of course i wanna kiss her😭 i wanted to kiss her the second they said my name and she was standing before i even knew what was happening

billie: bsfr, i’ve wanted to kiss her for a yearrr now

you had to hide the way your breath hitched as you read that last text.

she wanted to kiss you too.

pretending you were just stirring in your sleep for a moment, you nuzzled into her shoulder more and linked your arm around hers, resting your other hand on her bicep.

billie: omfg she’s gonna kill me

billie: she woke up for like half a second and cuddled herself around me

billie: *sent an image

quen: YESSSS

quen: it’s what the people want atp

odessa: BROOOO if u don’t shoot ur shot tonight ill do it for u

odessa: and that’s a threat.

billie: if she just wants to sleep tho, imma let her sleep‼️

quen: so chivalrous of u

odessa: just do what feels right. if nothing happens, then nothing happens. butttttt just trust us, that something probably should happen tonight

billie: what if it fucks everything up? she’s my best friend

quen: it’s not gonna fuck things up

odessa: trust us bitch. tell us everything in the morning

billie shut her phone off, just in time as the driver pulled into her driveway, waiting a moment for the gate to close and lock behind them.

“hey,” she nudged your shoulder lightly as to not startle you. “we’re home.”

you mumbled something, stirring before opening your eyes a bit and taking in your surroundings.

“u sleep okay?” billie chuckled, unbuckling her seatbelt and starting to step out the door.

“yeah, yeah,” you responded, rolling your eyes.

billie held out her hand for you to take as you exited the vehicle making your heart skip a beat.

“so chivalrous,” you teased, squeezing her hand. “can we snuggle when we go to bed?” you wrapped your arm around hers once again, proving her earlier thought correct.

billie took a deep breath, trying to hide her nerves.

“whatever u want, cutie,” she replied. she leaned over to kiss your temple, as you two made your way down the rest of her driveway and into the rest of your relationship, waiting just inside billie’s house.
