she inched closer towards me and i froze in shock. her blue eyes shot right through my soul, focusing onto my lips and my neck. i closed my eyes, but i could still feel her stares burn into me like wildfire.

please just kiss me.

that's all i wanted. it's all i wanted her to do. her warm breath got closer to mine, i could feel her hand on my hip as she placed the other on the side of my face.

please just kiss me.

"hey! who's there!" a voice yelled.

"shit." Billie said, grabbing my hand.

we hid behind the cashier's desk, our body's close together.

"fuck, billie, i thought you said nobody was here." i said.

"yeah, i forgot the janitor comes back in on Thursdays." she replied.

"why?" i whispered.

"he jerks off to the playboys, of course." she said.

"ew." i said.

his footsteps ascended as Billie clamped a hand on my mouth, i licked it to get it off.

"i know how to keep quiet." i told her.

"you sure about that, darling?" she said, covering my mouth again.

i felt my face begin to warm up, luckily she couldn't tell that i was blushing because she was covering my cheeks. his footsteps got closer and so did Billie - to the point where we where face to face. she placed her hand on my thigh and squeezed it, hoping he wouldn't see us.

"hello?" he said.

i closed my eyes as the tension between us grew louder, when i opened them, my eyes instantly locked onto Billie's. he flicked off the light and left after a while, whistling as he made his way downstairs. Billie freed her hand from my jaw.

"when do you think he'll leave?" i asked.

"i don't know." she said.

and even though the janitor was so far away that he couldn't be heard nor hear us, Billie and i remained crouched under the desk. yet again, she stared into my eyes and looked at my lips, i knew how bad she wanted me. and i wanted her too.

"can i kiss you?" she whispered searching for the answer in my eyes.

i nodded and closed my eyes, feeling the warmth from her lips touch mine as she squeezed my thigh lightly. the butterflies in my stomach erupted, my nerves felt sensitive to her touch. she moaned slightly in our kiss, while cupping my face and bringing me closer to her. she pulled away and looked into my eyes.

"um- we should go, come on." Billie said getting up.

but this time she didn't offer her hand to help me up. did i do something wrong? no, she asked to kiss me.

"there's an exit at the back, we can go that way." she said as i followed.

we ran to the back exit when the janitor suddenly appeared in front of us, stopping us in our tracks. he was a short, bald, fat man. he had a grey moustache and was wearing a dark green outfit. he held a mop in his hand, trying to use it as a weapon.

"where do you think you're going?" he chuckled.

"shit, Lu!" Billie shouted, running in the opposite direction.

She grabbed my hand and we both ran together.

"stop you hooligans!" the janitor ordered but we continued going.

"that old man really thinks he's gonna knock us out with a mop!" Billie laughed.

on the way, Billie stole some french fries, a slurpee and a rose. it never occurred to me why she stole, perhaps it was for fun or she genuinely needed the stuff. i mean, if she was poor she would've stolen a necklace or a ring, we passed several designer jewellery shops but she didn't bat an eyelid at any of them.

"you okay, luna?" Billie asked, looking back at me because i was so quiet for so long.

"yeah, i'm good." i chuckled, turning back to see that the janitor had slowed down a lot.

when we reached outside, she chucked all the stuff on the floor and handed me the rose.

"for you, milady." she said, kissing my hand.

I thanked her. Billie began fiddling with a motorbike lock.

"what are you doing?" I asked.

"getting us a ride out of here." she said, fiddling with the lock until it finally gave in and clicked free.

she hopped on a told me to get behind her and so i did.

"hold onto me." she said, as i wrapped my hands around her waist.

even touching her felt unreal. the janitor had finally gotten outside when we left, Billie flipped him off and continued to drive off.

"where do you live, darling? i'll drop you off." she said.

"69 Goldwing lane." i replied.

"yes ma'am." she said and continued to drive. "i had fun, tonight."

"so did i, thanks a lot by the way." i replied.

"anytime baby, anytime. we should do it again, though." Bill said.

"we should." i replied as she turned into my street.

we got off of our bikes and she walked me to my door.

"this is it." she said, smiling. "give me your number."

"so soon? naa, i think you're being a little too forward." i joked.

"we'll see about that, but take are of yourself, alright?" she said.

"yeah, i will, you too. goodnight." i said.

"goodnight, Luna." she kissed me on the cheek and left.

i closed my front door and greeted Baxter with a hug. he had missed me lot and i could tell. i fed him some food and water before taking my first shower in three days. to be honest with you, i reeked of vodka and body odour so bad that taking that shower felt so much more therapeutic and satisfying than when i take them everyday. i changed into some new clothes and got into bed with Baxter - a part of me regrets not giving Billie my number but honestly, two hours with her felt like a minute.

the next morning, i got out of bed and got ready for work, even on a few hours of sleep. i had breakfast and went to wake up my mum before realising she was no longer here. i had such a fun night yesterday that i forgot all about her and that made me feel guilty for that. i fed Bax and left the house not long after, but Billie was waiting for me outside.

"woah, what the fuck? what are you doing here?" i asked her.

"picking you up?" Bill shook her keys.

"how long have you been here?" i said.

"oh i just got here." she replied.

"awww did someone miss me?" i teased.

"no, i just needed a chauffeur to drive me around." she said. "get in the fucking car."

"or what? you gonna run me over with your ford?" i asked.

"ford? no i have dodge challenger. that's my car." she pointed at the matte black dodge challenger parked across the street.

"no way! what the fuck! you're lying." i denied the truth.

"get in." she ordered and so i did.

the leather seats where soft and her entire car smelt like a sweet kind of musk. it smelt like her.

"did you steal this too?" i joked.

"naaa." she started the engine. "my family got it for me a few years back."

"is your family part of the royal family?" i fooled.

"shut up, where are we going." she asked.

"i know where i'm going and that's to work." i said. "i don't know about your ass."

"which bar?" she asked.

"the Johnson's orchid, you gotta take a left, then a right, then another right, then another right, then a left, then a right, then one more left and then it'll be on the right." i said.

"right." Bill chuckled.

"no this is a left." i laughed.

"so did you sleep well?" she asked.

"better than the past couple of days, why? did you dream of me?" i teased.

"naa, i had a different dream. i got everything i wanted." she said.

"really? what happened." i replied.

"it's not what you'd think. And if i'm being honest it might've been a nightmare." Bill explained.

"oh, wanna talk about it?" i asked.

"naa, we're here. have a great day!" she said.

"thanks, you too!" i replied getting down.

i walked to the front of the bar when she called out to me.

"hey Luna! you doing anything tonight?" she asked.

"no, why?" i said.

"great! i'm coming over, at nine. you better be home." she said.

"alright, i'll be there." i said and waved goodbye.

i walked into the bar, seeing all of my friends there again.

"hey guys!" i said with a smile.

they all greeted me. today was much slower than usual. a good five hours passed by quick and many people came and went. i began talking to Amber before someone approached me,

"hey Clarke! my pretty princess! come here for me, will ya?" he asked.

i walked over to him, "hey Joaquin, how are you doing today?"

"not too bad, but even better if you gave me a little lap dance." he smirked.

"the strip club is a few blocks down, this is bar, Joaquin. we only serve alcohol here." i replied.

"no, no, no, this can be between me and you. we don't have to tell anyone. tell you what, meet me in the bathroom in five." he said.

"Amber honey, could you come here a sec." i asked.

"sure. what is it?" Amber asked.

i kissed Amber passionately on the lips to show Joaquin i was gay. i moaned in the kiss to make it more legit and wrapped my arms around their neck. their arms slithered around my hips to embrace me. i pulled away from the kiss and turned to Joaquin.

"you where saying?" i said.

i noticed his hard- on under the table and walked away to see Kevin.

"Kevin, kick Joaquin out. he got a boner from seeing Amber and i kiss." i said.

"alright, lemme talk to him." he said.

Kevin was one of my friends, he has a goatee and long hair which he ties back.

"hey Amber, i'm sorry about that, Joaquin asked if i wanted to have sex with him. no, he didn't even ask he told me to meet him in the bathroom and told me to give him a lap dance." i raged.

Amber has red hair, freckles and straight hair which she probably straightens everyday. if i ever did that i'd be suffering from alopecia or severely singed hair. i don't know how hers doesn't look so damaged.

"don't even worry about it girlie, i got your back." they said and winked. "so how you doing? been getting some dick lately?"

"eww, Amber! you know i hate dick!" i gagged.

"i'm just saying! try before you deny bitch!" she said. "you find the right dick and you won't stop riding, i'm telling ya."

i got off of work around 9, which made me panic because i was late to meet with Billie. i got a ride home with Amber and said goodbye to them when i realised there was a light turned on in my house. Amber had already driven away, so i guess i was on my own with this one. i got my phone out to have 911 on speed dial, when i crept in slowly, seeing a dark shadow lurk from the corner of the living room. someone was the couch, they where dressed in a black hoodie, with the hood on. I grabbed a knife from the drawer and ran up to them with it clutched in my hand.

"holy fuck!" they yelled as i stabbed them in the shoulder.

"Billie!" i yelled.
