BILLIE

January 18

Santa Monica Pier

"Billie!" I hear my girlfriend shout for me in the other room making me instantly get up to find her. I find her in the kitchen leaning against her clutches, staring angrily at a broken vase on the floor and Shark sitting down a few feet away with his head down, whimpering lowly.

Oh no

"Your dog has broken too many things and I'm getting sick of it." Halley snaps as she points at Shark.

"He's just a baby" I pout as I walk over to him, scratching behind his ears.

She glares at me and scoffs at my words. "That dog is almost as old as my fucking ass crack. Ever since he has been here, he has broken things. I want him out"

Her ass crack? What the hell did she just say?

"No! He's my baby!"

Halley groans loudly and throws her hands up in frustration before leaving the room mumbling under her breath in spanish. I realized that when Halley is truly upset or angry about something, she will switch from english to spanish real quick.

I forgot she even spoke spanish

"She doesn't mean it boy. She's just mad right now." I say to Shark giving him kisses and good belly rubs.

"I do mean it!" Halley yells from the other room making me roll my eyes and mumble something under my breath.

Halley Comet on her period is like dealing with an angry toddler.

"Billie O'Connell" Oh shit she used the government. "Why is there dog hair all over the tub!?" She yells making me share a glance with Shark.

"He needed a bath!" I tell her as I get up and walk into the room. Halley turns to me with another angry glare and raises an eyebrow at me.

"So you decide to bath him in the fucking bathtub!?"

Mommy I'm scared!

I slowly back out of the room as Halley begins to yell loudly in Spanish as she points at me angrily then points at the bathroom. "I feel like we all should take a breather" I say slowly making her cut her eyes at me.

"Clean the fucking tub!" She says before she puts on her shoes and grabs her clutches.

"Where are you going?"

"Out!" and with that she leaves the room and I soon hear the door slam shut.

Halley was gone for almost two hours before she came back. She had takeout in her hands and sighed when she saw me in the kitchen, having a glass of wine. She wasn't even using her clutches, just taking slow and painful looking steps toward me.

"I'm sorry for how I reacted earlier." She says making hum in response before taking another sip of my drink.

"It's okay" I told her and she shook her head, setting the takeout boxes on the kitchen counter.

"I shouldn't have snapped on you and I am sorry about that." She says before pulling a bouquet of roses from behind her back. My eyes widened and I immediately awe at the flowers. "Now I know that gifts or food won't make up for it."

"Never belittle food like that" I raise an eyebrow at her as I open the bag of takeout. "Food is always gonna be my number one" I told her happily grabbing a fork.

Halley chuckles and sits down beside me. "I'm still am sorry."

"Baby it's fine. I'm not going to hate on you just because you yelled at me." I smile over at her and lean over to kiss her cheek. "Come on let's eat and then how about we talk about your punishment."

Halley looks at me quickly and I just smile brightly over at her. "Punishment? What you mean punishment?"

I chuckle under my breath and get up to get her a glass. "Oh just because I'm not mad doesn't mean I'm just going to excuse how you handled your frustration and anger."

"B-But" I gave her a look, shutting her up and she sighs deeply. "I'm going to hate this aren't I?" She asks and I just shrug my shoulders with a smug look on my face.

"Maybe"

"You got me fucked the fuck up" Halley says standing in the middle of the room with her arms folded over her chest.

"Baby it will be fun" I smile and spin in a circle making her scoff loudly.

"There's no way you are sticking that inside of me." She points at the strap on I had put on while she was in the shower. I groaned and stomp my foot. "What's wrong with it?" I asked her making her give a be for real look.

"It's fucking purple Billie. It's going to look like I'm being fucked by Barney."

I shrug my shoulders. "Not necessarily, I think more of Thanos."

She glares at me.

"You are not putting that shit anywhere near my vagina."

I roll my eyes and put my hands on my hips. "Oh so you can fuck me with a fucking charcoal black dick but I can't do purple?"

"What's wrong with having a black dick?" She raises an brow at me and gives me a funny look making me death glare her. "Something you don't like about black dicks baby?"

"Be fucking for real Halley"

She shrugs her shoulders and clicks her tongue. "I don't know Billie Eilish I'm sensing some racism." She taunts and I flip her off causing her to send me a wide smile.

"Suck a dick. You know damn well that's not what I meant." I mutter as I turn and go back into the closet to change. "Sick of your ass."

"Is it cause I'm black?"

Someone kill me now.

"I thought you was hispanic" I say as I walk out of the closet, dressed in my short shorts and a big tee I stole from Zoe.

"Oh so now you're assuming my race woww" She shakes her head teasingly and I roll my eyes, deciding to be done with this annoying game of hers.

"I'm actually Brazilian and Black. I grew up in a half black and hispanic neighborhood though." She tells me and lays down on the bed. Grabbing the lotion off her nightstand, she starts applying some to her legs.

"Why didn't you ever tell me?"

"You never asked ma'am" She smirks at me and I huff, rolling my eyes for the millionth time tonight.

"I'm sick of you"

"You love me mama" Leaning over, her lips find mine in a short peck before she pulls away to finish putting lotion on her body. "Admit it."

"I don't have to admit anything ma'am" I smile smugly at her and she gives me a blank stare.

"Say it."

We stare into each other's eyes, silently challenging the other. Halley leans forward and tilts her head to the side some as she stares at me. I only smile and cross my arms over my chest as I continue to remain eye contact.

Our stare down only lasts for another minute before Halley gives me that look and I roll my eyes, looking away from her. "I love you" I mutter under my breath and I could already see her smiling in victory.

"Oh what was that? I can't hear you very well."

Sighing loudly, I look at her once more and unfold my arms. "I love you" I tell her and she grins even harder. She leans over to gather me into a kiss before whispering back the same words.

"I love you."
