Cat And Billie Joe, chapter 17
Cat woke up to find Billie looking at a folder of her photos. He was sitting at the edge of her bed, thumbing through them with wide eyes.
"What the fuck do you think you are doing Billie?" She said, sitting up, a smile playing on her lips.
"You have gotten way, way better after three years." He said, his eyes straying from the folder for a second.
"But those aren't the good ones."
"Well, you need to look at them more."
"Whatever. Billie. We need to talk." She said, sitting Indian style on her bed. He turned to face her.
"I was thinking the same thing... I don't want to lose you again. You may never trust me... Ever. But I want to at least be friends with you. I CAN'T lose you." He said, looking at his hands.
"Billie... I hope I will be able to trust you. I'd like... No, I'd love to be more than friends with you. But we will have to go slow." He nodded in agreement, then looked up to her, under his hair that was all smooshed against his forehead.
"Can I kiss you? Just... A little tiny one? After last night, it's been torture." He smiled a little. She bit her lip, and then crawled, in what Billie thought was extremely sexy, over to him and kissed him fully on the lips. Neither of them minded that they both had morning breath. She slipped her hand into his hair, and placed the other hand on his neck, pulling him closer. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into his lap.
"Whoops... Oh hey, you're the guy in her pictures!" Ann said. She was still wearing last nights dress, and her hair was a mess. Cat climbed out of his lap, and stood up.
"I have to, um, take a shower. Have fun!" She slipped into the bathroom and they soon heard the water running, and her singing quietly to herself.
"So... I'm Billie." He offered his hand and she took it.
"I'm Anna. So... You're Billie, eh? Huh... " She said, letting go of his hand.
"She has a lot of pictures of you. Look." She grabbed a folder and showed it to him.
"She kept these?" He said, looking at them.
"Yeah... Be nice to her. She likes you... A lot. Anyway, I have to go now, I just wanted to pop in and tell her that I would be here later to pack up, then I'm gone."
"I'll tell her." Anna nodded her head in thanks and left. About ten minutes later, Cat walked out, dripping, covered in a towel. Billie groaned.
"Anna said she would be back later to pack, them she's gone."
"I know... What was that groan for?" She opened a drawer and started to move some things around.
"You just... God, I haven't seen you for ages, and you walk out, dripping wet... " He groaned again.
"Billie, you are to funny." She settled on a Ramones concert tee and jeans. She opened another drawer and pulled out a bra and panties, them went back into the bathroom. A minute later she came out, changed, and made up. Her hair hung to her back, making a wet spot in her shirt.
"So, let's hang out today. We have some catching up to do." She told him. He nodded.
"So, what about Jasmine?" Billie asked her as they made their way down the hallway.
"She's at my mom and dad's. They said they would watch after her while I was at college and stuff, and when I got a place, I had to take her back." Cat told him. When they reached a certain hallway, Cat told Billie Joe to wait, and don't move. She knocked on Jason's door, and he answered it.
"Oh, it's you." He said, looking disappointed.
"Look, Jason, sorry, but I'm just going to blurt it out them walk away. I think we should see other people." She kissed him on the cheek and walked away. Little did she know, Billie could hear everything. He smiled to himself.
"So... Ready? Oh shit! I forgot my camera, purse and keys. Stay here again." She ran off down the hall and he heard an RA shout at her to walk, but she ignored her.
She came back loaded with her camera, five rolls of film, her purse and her keys.
"Hold on... Look over there! What that?" She shouted. He of course looked and she snapped a picture.
"Hey! That wasn't fair!" He pouted. She pinched his cheek lightly.
"It was too."
Billie drove them to Oakland, so they could hang out with Mike and Tre, as requested.
"Cat! Oh my god! Cat! Your back! Oh my god! Billie you sexy beast you won her back." Tre hugged her tightly, as Cat giggled. Cat flung her arms around Mike after parting with Tre.
"I missed you guys so much!" She kissed Mike on the cheek.
"We missed you too." Mike told her.
"Hey! I didn't get a kiss!" Tre pouted a bit, " So, come here." He grabbed her arm and she started to kiss him on the cheek, but he turned his head so she ended up kissing him on the lips.
"You thief!" She gasped, sarcastically.
"Come on Cat, help me get drinks." Mike said, and he put his arm around her shoulders. They reached the kitchen, and she opened the fridge.
"He really missed you. He was a wreak, for, like the first year, but after that he was a little better, but not much. We missed you." He looked at her.
"I missed you guys too Mikey." She smiled, and grabbed a Dr. Pepper for her and three beers for the guys.
"Are you guys going to get back together?" He asked.
"I... I'm not quite sure yet Mike. Maybe. I hope so." She pulled him back into the living room where Tre was animatedly talking to Billie Joe about his shoelaces.
"Hey, Tre, catch!" Cat yelled to Tre to get his attention and tossed Billie and Tre their drinks. They both popped their tops, taking big gulps.
"Oh, shoot. I gotta go you guys. They've only given us until the end of the week to pack and get out. Plus, I've been procrastinating... " Cat stood up and walked toward the door, but felt a hand on her arm.
"I'll drive you." Billie told her. She smiled gratefully.
"Thanks Billie Joe. I'll see you guys later, okay?" She called out to two very drunk men.
"Yeah, and remember! Make up sex!" Tre reminded her. Cat nodded.
"So, Cat, can I come with you? I can't leave you yet... " Billie trailed of. They had just gotten in the car, and he started the moter up. Cat thought for a moment. She missed him too. She didn't want to leave him just yet.
"Sure, till the end of the week?" Billie smiled and nodded at her offer.
"I just gotta stop off and pick up a few things... " Cat nodded, she understood. He would need cloths and things.
Cat walked into her dorm and fell onto the bed, tired. Billie set his backpack full of clothes down on the ground, along with Blue, his guitar.
"I'm so tired Billie, so I think I'm just gonna go to sleep... You can have that bed if you want. Remember, you promised to help me pack." She smiled sweetly at him, and he groaned, nodding.
"Good night Billie Joe." Cat said, closing her eyes.
"Good night Cat."
"What the fuck do you think you are doing Billie?" She said, sitting up, a smile playing on her lips.
"You have gotten way, way better after three years." He said, his eyes straying from the folder for a second.
