Fame, Fortune, and Green Day, chapter 16
The next morning Bee awoke to the enticing aroma of waffles, and someone gently licking her ear.
"Mmmmm Billie stop," she said brushing him away. The licking stopped for about 5 seconds then started up again. She rolled over to face Billie and give him a morning kiss and maybe quite possibly nibbled on his ear. When she opened her eyes she screamed.
"TRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!" she said playfully smacking him in the head. She got out of bed and made her way downstairs, with Tre following her like a lost puppy. Billie, Mike, Dani, and Diego were all sitting in various places waiting for Laura to give them waffles. Bee walked over to the empty seat next to Billie and sat down. Since no empty seats remained Tre was once again left alone. He walked over to Bee and gave her his best puppy dog face.
"No. No you are not sitting on my lap Tre." Bee said.
"You're lap? Who said anything about your lap. I was gonna ask you if I could sit in Billie's lap," he replied wiggling his eyebrows at Billie.
"Tre heel!" Laura said. She waved a large plate of waffles smothered in blueberry pie filling with blueberry syrup in front of Tre's nose and led him over to the other side of the breakfast bar where she had been sitting. She gave Tre her stool and perched on Mike's leg after serving everyone their waffles. She really did make fantastic waffles. After breakfast they all decided to hang out by the pool. They blasted music and got completely drunk. At around 3, Dani and Diego left for Diego's house, and then at around 4 Laura and Mike dragged a passed out Tre home with them. Billie and Bee had the house to themselves for the first time in a while. Bee was sitting on the breakfast bar leaned over kissing Billie, when all of a sudden the phone rang. Billie groaned as he reached over and grabbed it without moving from where he was. By the 8th ring he figured the person was pretty persistent and decided he would answer it. He reluctantly pulled away from Bee and answered the phone.
"Hello?" he said. "Mmhmm I remember you.....No we're not doing anything tonight....Sure....ok...We'll meet you there at 6? Bye bye."
"Tell me that wasn't Julian and that you did not just agree to go to dinner with him." Bee said. Billie just nodded his head. Bee rolled her eyes and hopped off the breakfast bar.
"I guess we should be getting dressed. You since 6 is in about a half an hour." Bee said as she marched up the stairs. "I still don't see the point in us doing this you know." Billie didn't answer. Instead he gave her a quick kiss then went to get ready. Bee did the same and they were ready to go within 15 minutes. At the restaurant they quickly spotted Julian sitting at a small table. While they were waiting for their food, Billie and Julian engaged in awkward conversation. This really isn't that bad... Bee thought to herself as Billie and Julian talked about salad, pasta, and Billie being a vegetarian. Things were actually going quite smoothly. That is until the salads came out and Bee decided to go to the bathroom. Bee was reapplying her eyeliner, when all of a sudden she heard a loud crash and people shouting. She ran out of the bathroom silently praying that nothing was happening between Julian and Billie, only to find that, indeed, what was happening was between Julian and Billie.
"You fucking son-of-a-bitch!!!!!!" Billie was shouting as he repeatedly punched Julian in the nose, causing blood to spurt everywhere.
"Oh my gosh Billie!!! Stop!!!" Bee said as she managed to pry Billie off of Julian. "What happened????" Before she could ask if everyone was ok Julian dove on Billie Joe and began punching him, but Billie soon pushed Julian off of him and was once more punching him in the face.
"Billie stop it!" Bee screamed. There were people all around, some of whom were snapping photo after photo of Billie Joe and Julian practically trying to kill each other. "Billie!"
"Stop trying to defend this fucking asshole!"
"Find your own ride home and don't expect me to be there!" Bee said as she stormed out of the restaurant, leaving Billie and Julian with the gaping people and two large security guards. She drove all the way to Laura and Mike's house.
"Bee what happened?" Mike said as he answered the door. "Where's Billie?"
"Long story. Not talking. Where's La?"
"In the kitchen. You can stay here tonight." He said giving her a sympathetic pat on the shoulder.
"Thanks" she said. She walked into the kitchen and burst into tears.
"Bee what happened?" Laura asked, and after two fuzzy navel wine coolers Bee spilled the whole story. Just then Mike walked in the room holding the cordless phone. He handed it to Bee. It was Billie.
"Brittney? I'm sorry." he said.
"What happened. Why the hell were you two beating the shit out of each other?" she asked.
"He said something that was just fuckin wrong, I told him I was gonna go get you and we were leaving and to fuck off. He dove on me."
"What did he say? You still didn't answer why I walked out to you beating the shit out of him?"
"Oh so now your defending that little fuck?" Billie said sounding hurt. "If you don't want for your precious little Julian to be hurt then why don't you go and fuckin marry him then?"
"You ass! You fucking ass!" Bee shouted. "I couldn't possibly marry that fucker after what he did to me! I love you how could you think that! Don't call me back...ever!" she screamed, her eyes welling up with tears.
"I may need to stay here for a little." She told Laura and Mike. They both just nodded and watched Bee go into the freezer, pull out a carton of Ben and Jerry's Phish Food ice cream, and walk silently up the stairs to the guest room.
"Mmmmm Billie stop," she said brushing him away. The licking stopped for about 5 seconds then started up again. She rolled over to face Billie and give him a morning kiss and maybe quite possibly nibbled on his ear. When she opened her eyes she screamed.
