Forty Three

January 30

Los Angeles, California

"Why do we have to do this?" I ask Billie with a stressed look on my face. She laughs at my nervousness and leans over to peck my lips.

"Because my fans keep asking about our relationship and you said you wanted to start being more comfortable with my life with them."

I sigh and look at all of the cameras before looking back at her. "But a hot seat video? You know Claudia is going to ask us some crazy ass questions." I whisper to her as I watch Claudia over to us with the biggest grin on her face.

"It will be fun just relax. Remember you don't have to answer anything you don't want to." She tells me and I nod my head.

Totally out of my comfort zone right now.

"I thought she did makeup videos what the fuck is this" I hurriedly whisper to Billie before quickly smiling at Claudia who takes a seat across from us.

"Are you guys ready?" She asks excitedly and Billie holds my hand in hers before kissing the back of it.

"Yup" No.

I mentally panic but decide to suck it up because at least if I say something crazy or stupid they can just edit it out. Right?

"Alright let's get started." Claudia nods at the lady behind the camera. I block out everything she says as I stare at the camera with a look of panic.

I feel Billie squeeze my hand lightly making me look over at her. She smiles warmly and nods her head. Every time I look at her, I can't do nothing but smile.

"..and I'm joined with none other than Miss Eilish herself." Claudia says making Billie look away from me and smile brightly. "and her girlfriend Halley" I awkwardly wave at the camera and give a tight lipped smile.

"Billie it's been so long since you been in one of my videos we missed you" Claudia gushes making Billie laugh.

"I been a little busy." She replies before looking over at me with a smile. I blush and roll my eyes, not meeting her eyes. "Miss Comet here has had my full attention." She teases and I playfully glare at her.

"Yes she has." Claudia then turns to me. "I want to officially welcome you to my channel. I been dying to make a video with you since we met."

"That's because you want to play doll with my face." I say making the two of them both laugh. "She's been trying to get me to let her do my makeup for the longest." I say to the camera making Claudia shrug in response.

"It would be so much fun oh my god Halley please" Claudia practically begs making me smile.

"I'll think about it."

Claudia rolls her eyes at my words and shakes her head with a smile. "She's been saying that since the first time I asked." She redirects her attention to the camera and holds her ipad in her hands.

"Alright now Billie and I both asked you guys to ask these two some hot seat questions and—"She pauses and laughs as she starts reading some of the questions. "You guys did not hesitate to ask some interesting hot seat questions."

"Oh god" Billie groans and runs a hand down her face. "This is going to be fun." She says sarcastically to me making me laugh.

"Don't worry we won't get to the juicier questions until later" Claudia quickly tells her before clearing her throat. "Alright Halley this first one is for you."

Kill me now.

"Hit me"

"Did you seriously not know who Billie was when you guys met?" Claudia asks making me immediately blush as I remember how we met.

"Oh god no." I rush to say and shake my head. "I wish I did because that was definitely the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me."

Billie laughs and runs a hand through her hair. "Dude I was so shocked when you called Finneas me."

"I thought Billie Eilish was a boy!" I quickly say. "I never saw a picture of you just kept hearing Iris talk about you."

"You heard my music before though. You told me Iris would always play my stuff so you telling me I sound like a boy?" Billie playfully argues back making me cut my eyes at her.

"Leave me alone it was a very stressful night for me." I jokingly pout making her annoyingly coo at.

"Aww I'm sorry" She leans over and holds my face to her chest. Gently patting my head like I'm a dog, she says in a soft baby voice. "I didn't mean to upset youu"

This woman

"Let go of me" I laugh and move out of her grasp as she laughs. "Meanie" I say and she sticks her tongue out at me causing me to do the same.

"You guys are so cute" Claudia gushes making me remember she was even there. I honestly forgot we were even filming. "Okay on to the next question."

"Billie what is your favorite thing about Halley?"

Billie instantly smiles at the question and squeezes my hand once more. "Well physically I love her smile." On cue I smile at her words and she stares at me with a loving gaze. "Her smile can instantly light up a room. It always finds a way to make every day the best day ever."

I love her

"I also love her heart." Billie looks over at Claudia with a small shake of her head. "Halley has the biggest heart ever. She always finds a way to make sure everyone is happy and safe around her. Her friends and family is number one to her and I have always admired that."

I find my cheeks flushing with pink as I lift our joined hands up and kiss hers softly. "You are amazing Billie O'Connell." I tell her as I stare at her with love in my eyes.

"So are you Halley Comet."

We turn our attention back on Claudia who wipes a fake tear making us all laugh. "Okay okay now onto some juicer questions." Billie and I share a panic look before we focus back on Claudia. "What is something you guys have trouble with in your relationship?"

Okay that's not that bad of a question.

Billie thinks it over before deciding to answer. "Um honestly the fame." She scratches her eyebrow with her nail and sighs. "Obviously dating someone famous doesn't always seem like the dream life especially if you never been around things like this before."

I nod my head and answer as well. "Yeah, I mean it's not a hundred percent horrible but it's not a hundred great as well. I definitely had to adjust to how Billie's life is especially like going out in public with her."

Claudia nods her head for us to continue and Billie shuffles a laugh. "Yeah the constant cameras and eyes on us has definitely affected us in more ways than one."

"How do you guys handle the fame?"

"We talk it out. One of the best things about our relationship is our communication. I'm always making sure she's okay and she's doing the same for me." I reply and Billie instantly agrees.

"Yeah and I always make sure she's comfortable with all of the photoshoots, fans coming up to us, paparazzi.."

I nod with a smile before drinking some of the water Claudia gave us. "So who is the top and the bottom?" She then asks making me immediately choke on my water.

HUH!?

"Are you okay?" Claudia quickly asks as Billie pts my back. I cough violently and look at Claudia in disbelief. I know she ain't just ask us that question.

"Um" Billie blushes at the question and we share a look before looking over at Claudia. "Well—"

"Remember you guys don't have to answer if you don't want to." Claudia don't hesitate to reassure us making me shake my head.

"Well what do you guys think?" I say glancing at the camera. "Do I give bottom energy?"

"Do I give bottom energy?" Billie asks and Claudia and I don't hesitate to say "Yes." Billie looks over at us shocked and Claudia smiles at her before quickly moving on to the next question.

"Sooo strap or no strap?"

"Claudia!"
