Cat And Billie Joe, chapter 3
The next morning Billie Joe woke up to find that he had no hangover. He smiled, recalling what had happened last night, and looked at his arm. His smile became wider, turning into a grin. He jumped up and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, then raced down the stairs a dialed Cat's number.
"Hello?" Cat said after many rings. She had still been asleep, and wasn't very happy about being woken up.
"Hey, uh, Cat? This is Billie Joe." All of a sudden, Cat wasn't angry anymore. More pleased than anything that he had called her.
"Hey Billie. What's up?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me today?" Billie asked, hoping with all his might that she would.
"I'd love to." Cat grinned. He sounded nervous, which was really cute.
He picked her up an hour later after she had showered and eaten. They drove around for awhile, Billie hadn't thought this far in advance in what to do.
"Hey, can I turn on the radio?" Cat asked.
"I don't mind." He was curious as to what she would turn the station too. She turned it on, and an Operation Ivy song came on.
"Ha! I love this song." Cat said as she started to sing along to it. Billie Joe grinned.
"This is my favorite band."
"Mine too." Cat smiled, and kept to her singing. Billie Joe was impressed, she had an amazing voice. The song ended, and Billie was disappointed, he liked listening to her sing.
"So, what are you going to do when fall comes? Go to college, or make it big with The Band." Cat asked, referring to Green Day.
"Try to make it big. I had dropped out of high school, so there is no way I could get into college. What are you going to do?"
"Well, I got accepted into SFU, but I want to take a year off, so I can, you know, just goof off and hang with people before I go."
"Yeah, I would do the same if I were going to college. Shit!" Billie looked at his watch and relised he was late for band practice... Again.
"You're coming to practice with me." Billie Joe informed Cat.
"Oh? Who says?" Cats grinned, wickedly.
Then Billie Joe kissed her.
"Oh, yeah, okay." She blushed and Billie Joe laughed.
"Billie! You're late again! Oh, I see." Mike said as he saw Cat emerge from behind Billie Joe. She smiled and grasped Billie's hand.
"Is Tre here yet?" Billie asked.
"Yes, he is." Mike answered, annoyed.
"Wow, I really am late!" Billie Joe grinned, proud with himself, and Cat elbowed him in the stomache. He laughed, clutching his side. Billie followed Mike into the basement, followed by Cat. They walked in to find Tre banging his drums loudly. Cat laughed and walked over to him.
"Hey, teach me?" She asked him.
"Sure," He said standing up, "Sit."
He handed her the drum sticks and she banged the cymbles loudly.
"Ha, cool." She said. Tre taught her how to do a drumroll, which she was surprisingly good at. He grinned proudly at himself and her, just before Billie whisked her away and sat both of them on the couch.
"So, pretty good with those drums, huh?" Billie said.
"Yeah, I rock at it." She joked.
"Billie! Come on man! We gotta practice!" Mike said.
Billie Joe rolled his eyes and went over and started to play. Cat watched Tre play his drums, he seemed to enjoy them. But mostly she just watched Billie like she had before, and every once in awhile he would watch her, watching him, and they would smile to each other.
After practice, which had consisted of drinking, and mostly goofing off rather than playing, it was starting to get dark.
"We should go." Billie Joe said, taking Cat's hand and helping her off t he couch.
"Ooooo, you guys gonna smooch or what?" Tre said, jmping up and down in excitement. Cat blushed, but Billie Joe grinned. He waved good bye and led Cat out to the car.
"So... Do you want me to drop you off at home, or what?" Billie asked her.
"I'd like to see your house, if you don't mind." Cat said.
Billie nodded and drove towards his house. When they got there, he couldn't find his keys
"Gah, you fucker." He said, frustrated. He knocked on the door, but no one answered. Billie took Cat's hand and ran with her to his backyard. She giggled at him, he was so cute. He tried to open the back door, and to his relief, it was unlocked.
"Would you like the Grand Tour?" He asked her, smiling.
Cat nodded and he took her hand once again and showed her all the rooms, leaving his for last.
"And," He opened his bedroom door, "This is my room."
Cat grinned as he led her to his bed, kicking stuff out of the way. He sat down and patted the empty space next to him and grinned. She sat down and he put his arm around her waist as they both laid down in the bed. She turned over so she was facing him, her face propped up in her hand. She ran her fingers through his dark hair.
"You should let me dye your hair sometime, you would look sexy with blue hair." She said.
He grinned and nodded, closing his eyes and pulling her closer to him. She rested her head on his chest, and they both fell asleep together.
"Hello?" Cat said after many rings. She had still been asleep, and wasn't very happy about being woken up.
