Dahlia's POV

************

"BORN TO BE WILD!" I screamed with the song once again before finally turning the music down and putting my full focus on the laptop in front of me.

"Baby, I love you so much, but even I think this is ridiculous. It's literally been hours. You cannot possibly still be comfortable in there. Go inside, please." Billie pleaded. I rolled my eyes at her, which she apparently saw. "Don't roll your pretty little orbs at me, you bitch. Just do what daddy tells you."

"Bro, you gotta stop saying that shit." I laughed. "We're perfectly comfortable in here, aren't we, Prince Styles?" I turned to look at my cat who was still sleeping in the passenger seat of my car.

I've been out here for about four hours, Skyping with Billie the whole time as I worked on editing Josephine's videos. So far I've got three done and I'm almost done with the fourth. We had a lot of work to do after taking two weeks off for our little vacation. She's been filming like crazy and I've been editing like crazy since the day after my birthday. I have to get caught up before school gets back in next Monday, otherwise, I'm gonna be stressed as fuck.

I'm going to call it a day after I finish this fourth video, then tomorrow I'll edit the other four and then I'll be all caught up for now.

"You're being ridiculous. Your room misses you." Billie shook her head. I put my phone down and she shouted at me to pick it back up so she could see me again, but I didn't listen. I needed both of my hands for a few seconds.

"You're just jealous because you don't get to sit in the backseat of this awesome ass car with me."

"Well, if I was back there with you we'd be doing a lot more than just sitting." She mumbled.

"Please, nothing nasty when you know Prince Styles can hear you," I smirked. I picked up my phone again and was about to say something else, but I was interrupted by an incoming call from Cora. "Cora's calling, give me two minutes." I told Billie.

"What do you need?" I asked after answering her call.

"Liza wants to take me out on a date on the same day that Matthew wants to take me out on a date and I really like Liza and I wanna go with her, but I already just took a two week vacation with her and Matthew is feeling left out and he was all like 'if you wanna be with her just be with her and forget about me' which basically was his way of saying that if I go out on a date with her instead of him we're over, and Liza was, like, basically the same and now I don't know what to do because I literally like them both equally and I don't know who I wanna be with and also I don't know what to wear on either fucking date so that's great!"

I was out of breath just listening to her talk.

"Right...Okay...Was that all?"

She was silent for a moment before she let out an annoyed scream. "Fucking help me! I don't know what to do here!"

"Have you suggested a nice, friendly game of Rock Paper Scissors?"

"Why the fuck do you and Billie think that that will solve anything?!"

"Well, god, Cora, it doesn't fucking have to be Rock Paper Scissors then, Jesus! Thumb war is an option too, but I myself was never a big fan—"

"Bring your ass in the house so I can kill you!" She screamed before hanging up. I sighed before pressing the button to talk to Billie again. "Cora's freaking the fuck out because of her Matthew vs Liza drama." I pouted. "She asked me for advice."

"Well, what was it? What was your advice?"

"A game of thumb war so they can decide—"

"Why would you suggest something stupid like that?" She sent me an unamused look and I tilted my head. "Rock Paper Scissors is better—"

"She didn't seem to like that idea!" I threw my hands up in exasperation.

"You didn't suggest an arm wrestling match?"

"Ooh, that's a good idea." I nodded. "Look, I think I have to go. After I finish editing this video I've gotta go back inside and get yelled at by my lovely, wonderful baby sis."

"I'm coming over in fifteen."

"I thought you were gonna play air hockey with me when you finally got off the phone!" I heard Finneas yell in the background. Billie rolled her eyes and pretended to hang herself with her chain.

"I'd rather eat shit, Finneas!"

"That can be arranged!"

I watched as she climbed off her bed and ran, probably chasing him, but her room door slammed closed before she could catch him.

"I'll be over in twenty-five. I'm gonna kill him first."

"Don't leave any evidence." I smiled before hanging up.

***

"Maybe you should just tell them that you wanna be with them both. Monogamy isn't for everybody. That's what Wale said in the intro of that one song." Billie mumbled as she rambled through Cora's closet. "Everything in this bitch is hideous, you know that?"

"What the fuck is monogamy?" Cora questioned.

"It means you wanna be with one person at a time. Polyamory means several. Maybe you'd like a polyamorous relationship?" She stared at me blankly as I spoke. "You know, like an open relationship?"

She blinked at me. I sighed. "Bella Thorne, Tana Mongeau, and Modsun. What they had."

"Ah!" She nodded in understanding. "I don't know, seems like a lot of work."

I shrugged and stayed silent as I rambled through her stuff.

"I need a favor from you guys." She said, sounding nervous. I glanced at Billie and then at her. Billie sighed and shook her head.

"No, Cora. We've already talked about this and I'm not teaching you shit else about lesbian sex—"

"No, not that!" She blushed. My mouth flew open in shock as I stared at the two of them. "What the fuck, Billie? What are you doing teaching my little sister about lesbian sex?! I'm the only one you should be teaching about lesbian sex!"

"Oh, baby, I've already taught you everything you needed to know." She smirked.

"Ew! Guys—No! Stop that!" Cora screeched as she came to stand between us. "No—Ew! Ugh...No, I need you guys to come with me on my date. Like a double date, but with five people."

"I don't think so. Your date is supposed to be Saturday. This is the last weekend before we have to go back to school. I don't think so." I shook my head.

"Please?" Cora pouted. "I don't wanna be alone with them and you two are the coolest people I know," She grinned. I sent her an unamused look and she rolled her eyes. "Okay, well Denver's single now so he wouldn't have a date to bring, both the twins are busy, dad and Josephine are busy, all my other friends are busy, and you two are my last hope."

"Ouch," Billie muttered. "We should've been first choice. We're really cool, you know? Look at my fucking chains!" She held her chain closer to Cora's face and Cora rolled her eyes again.

"That's right, baby, we're super cool," I said in a baby voice, squeezing her cheek. "It's not happening Cora."

"But it'd give you a chance to show off your new car, Billie and you will get to go on another date, and Billie, you'll get to see Dahlia wear another dress!"

"I do like the sound of that..." Billie whispered.

"No, Cora." I rolled my eyes. "And I'm not wearing another dress."

"I'll pay you."

"How much?" I raised a brow.

"Two weeks worth of allowance."

"Deal."

***

"I think Joseph and Josephine are getting closer and closer as the days go by." I smirked as I showed Billie the pictures I'd snuck and took of them while they were cuddling on the couch watching a movie the other day.

"You don't think this is weird? You know...Stalking them and shit?" She asked.

"He's my dad, I have the right to stalk him."

"Okay," She shrugged before leaning closer to me to get a better look. "Are they going on another date soon?"

"I don't know, I hope so. I need to like...Educate him on how this whole dating thing works nowadays. He's gotta stay on his romantic bullshit or else she'll get bored."

"Your dad's been dealing with the ladies since before you were even thought of," She laughed. "I'm sure he knows how to treat her...Can I tell you a secret?"

"Sure."

"I told him it'd be a good idea to serenade her with a mashup of Ariana songs eventually." She giggled.

"Billie!" I gasped. "Dude, he'll seriously do it! You better tell him not to actually do that shit!"

"I'm not gonna do that. I would like to see it." She shrugged. I rolled my eyes and slapped her shoulder before grabbing her hand and playing with her fingers.

"Hey, Billie?" I mumbled.

"Yeah, D?"

"Thanks for being my girlfriend and shit. I don't think I've ever had as much fun in my life as I've had with you in these past few months. You're one of my best friends and I can't imagine not having you around. I know this is random and shit, but I just...Thanks." I smiled.

"You're too fucking cute, Doe eyes." She said before kissing my cheek. "I love you."

"I love you."

A/N: I feel like this chapter (and every other peaceful one) is utter BS. I'm good at writing drama but I feel like I'm terrible at writing just regular shit. But obviously the whole entire story can't be drama soo ya know. I gotta keep the peace sometimes.

As we all know, it never lasts for long tho 😈

But seriously I'm really sorry if this chapter was boring or whatever. I haven't been feeling great and honestly I was distracted as fuck while writing this but I NEEDED to write so ya know.

Billie pics I need to get out of my camera roll because they've been there for ages ⤵️
