"I think I'm falling in love with you, Billie...", chapter 2
Billie saw the blonde was sitting at the table, wearing purple shorts and tank-top PJs. "So how is Mike when he works out? Does he snore when he sleeps? Is he right-handed or left-handed?"
"Dixie," Jana said, pouring the coffee, "Billie didn't come here to get the third degree." Billie laughed.
"Then can I see your underwear?" Dixie asked.
"What?!" asked an embarrassed Billie Joe.
"Your underwear," Dixie said flatly. "I heard you wear pink underwear for good luck."
"No, but I have a different good luck ritual that I do before every concert..." Billie added, blushing.
"What?" Dixie and Jana said in unison. "Does it involve Mike?" Dixie added.
"Hopefully not..." Dixie frowned, but still wanted to know. "I kiss a guy before every concert." Dixie laughed and Jana shook her head.
"Now I remember!" Dixie said and laughed. Then she cocked her head, looking like a dumb blonde. "Are you gay?"
"Wh...." Billie was speechless for a moment and he could feel his face turning red. "No, I'm not gay..." He wondered if Mike or Tre would laugh if they heard him now. Dixie nodded and Jana cast her a "be careful" look, then sighed a slight sigh of relief. Okay.... Billie thought.
"This is so..." Dixie looked off into space, trying to think of the right word. "Interesting. I mean, an upcoming rock-star is at your table, drinking coffee with you and your best friend at eleven at night! Don't you think that's interesting?"
"Good for you, blondie," Jana said and Billie laughed.
I really was having fun at these girls' house. It's not every day I get locked out of my tour bus on my birthday and meet an interesting girl and get invited to her house. Then I find an ecstatic, Mike-loving blonde that fires off question faster then I can play Blue. This definitely doesn't happen every day, especially not to a twenty year old me. I was pulled out of my summary of the last hour by hearing my name. Thinking it was Jana or that crazy friend of hers, I snapped my head up and looked around. Jana was looking at the door, and I followed her gaze. She was watching Dixie up against the door, listening very intently. "I would know that voice anywhere..." she whispered to herself, then flung open the door. "MIKE!!!" she screamed. Jana widened her eyes.
"Well, I didn't expect that..." she mumbled and rolled her eyes. Mike was standing at the end of the at the end of the pathway, looking very oddly at the blonde in PJs who happened to know his name.
"Hello!" Dixie said and ran outside. "I love you, your band so much I mean you guys are so great..." Dixie ran out of breath, jumping slightly in front of Mike and Tre in the cold.
"Uhm, that's great...." Mike said. Dixie smiled.
"Really?" Dixie smiled. "That's great! I think it's great, too; we have so much in common!" She clapped her hands excitedly. "Don't ya think?"
"Sure..." Mike said and tried to look behind her. "Actually I'm looking for-"
"Oh, Billie? He's in there," she said like she was totally bored. Then her face lit up again as she asked, "Do you snore when you sleep?"
"Uhm, I'll answer that if you show me where Billie is, kay?" Mike bargained.
"Okay!" Dixie answered excitedly and turned and sprinted towards the front door. She made big, exaggerated gestures pointing towards Billie. "He's right here!" she screamed so loud Billie covered his ears and winced. Mike sighed and walked into the house, Tre following him.
"Dixie," Jana said, pouring the coffee, "Billie didn't come here to get the third degree." Billie laughed.
