Part Two, chapter 3
Sugar and spice and everything nice
"That was the best lunch I've ever had!" Violet exhaled happily and wrapped her arms around Billie.
"Glad you feel that way." He said and started searching for the keys of his house.
"Yeah the restaurant was excellent and the food was just divine and you seemed somewhat nervous so I got to eat your plate too." She told him. Billie just smirked and kept searching for the keys. "Please don't tell me we can't get in." She pleaded.
"Here I found them. Jeez you always think I'm gonna mess up." He pretended to be offended but Violet gave him a kiss on the cheek and he just couldn't help but smile.
They opened the door and as soon as he turned on the lights a loud "HEY!" was heard. Mike and Tre had decorated the entire house with balloons and flowers and had those hats children wear at parties on. "What's all this?" Violet asked confused.
"Why don't you just sit down?" Mike grabbed her by the shoulders and put her down on the couch.
"What? What is it?" Billie could tell she was getting nervous.
"Well... " he said and got closer to her. "Congratulations baby. You have been accepted."
He handed her a big envelope and took pleasure in watching her stunned expression as she was taking it. "Oh my God Oh my God Oh my God!!!" she screamed and read the college's letter out loud for all of them to hear. "I'm in! I'm going to go to college. I can't believe this!" she jumped on Billie and wrapped her legs around his waist, still unable to calm herself.
"You deserve this." Billie whispered at her. "And also I love you."
"Me too." She said and leaned in to give him a kiss which was interrupted by another loud noise.
"What the fuck?" Billie shouted frightened.
"Just opening the champagne mate." Tre apologized. Violet got off Billie and ran to the kitchen to get glasses for everyone, still extremely happy with herself.
"Here's to looking at you kid." Billie told her and took a sip of his drink.
"Oooh... nice Casablanca quotation. You're learning darling."
"What about me? What about me? I'm also learning!" Tre whined, sounding very much like a spoilt young kid. "Houston we have a problem." He said and waited for everybody to cheer.
"May the force be with you." Added Mike and the Silver Screen Quotations contest begun.
"Don't knock masturbation it's sex with someone I love." Said Tre.
"Annie Hall!" Violet shouted. "And from the whole movie that's what you've memorized." She said, not questioning him just claiming the fact.
"I am Tre Cool dear."
Violet giggled and gave him a playful hit on his arm. "Of course Mr. Cool how could I forget?"
"You know what?" Mike interrupted. "If we're going to continue playing this we should make teams." He suggested.
"Great idea. But I want to see Billie getting frustrated so I'll be with either you or Mr. Masturbation over there." Violet pointed at Tre who was now eating some of the cake Billie had bought for them.
"I'll be in the same team with you. Tre and Billie are hilarious together." Mike told her and stretched his hand for her to shake it.
"Tre baby they're insulting us!' Billie shouted and went to hug Tre. "We are so going to kick your ass." He told them.
"I don't think so mate. The only "culture" movie I was able to watch from the beginning to the end was Nine and a Half Weeks and that was because... well I think the reason is obvious." Admitted Tre.
Everybody laughed.
"Okay so we drop this game for now since you still have lots of things to learn but I want to play something!" Violet looked around trying to find ideas for something she could win Billie to.
"I bet Mike and I can embarrass you enough not to come out of your house for two weeks if we have a decent car race." She challenged, looking at the Playstation. Tre's eyes immediately brightened, an evil grin was formed on his lips and he rubbed his hands together.
"As you wish my dear."
"I should have warned you that you simply can't win Tre."
Billie was holding her next to him, stroking her hair slowly as she was reading the college's brochure.
"I'll take my revenge baby don't worry. And next time it's just going to be me and him." She said and started writing something down on her diary. "Okay normally I would say that you don't have a single chance but since you are... you, maybe you'll beat him." Billie came closer to her and went to kiss her on the lips.
Violet thought he was going for her cheek so he had to make extra effort to reach her mouth but as soon as he did, he gave her a hard kiss filled with emotions and lust and didn't pull away before he desperately had to breathe.
"Nice." Violet breathed happily. "I still can't believe I'm going to college."
"Vi baby you are the smartest creature to have ever set foot on this world. It would be unnatural if you didn't get to go." He reassured her and planted a softer kiss on her forehead.
"I still have a little difficulty absorbing it. I mean I can't even get used to the fact that I'm graduating in one week."
"You know something I can't get used to either?" Billie turned around and topped her body with a quick move, causing her laughter.
"That you and I are together for almost a year."
"It will be exactly one year next Friday." She informed him.
"How did I manage to keep you for so long?" he thought out loud, wondering for real why he hadn't got bored this time.
"Maybe because I love being here." Violet played with his messy hair and leaned in to give him a kiss. "Or maybe because you are rich and famous and everybody is jealous of me." She joked.
"Bad girl you." Billie started kissing her neck and felt her legs being wrapped around him and not before long everything else was forgotten except for what they felt for each other.
The phone rung in the middle of the night and Billie woke up with the jolt and went to answer it.
"Hey man it's me." Mike said. "Sorry to be calling this hour but the tour dates are settled. We're leaving next Saturday."
Am I here or am I there or am I playing on the stairs
Billie was hearing three voices whispering above him. He tried to ignore them and go back to sleep but somehow it seemed like the sound was getting thicker so he had to groan loudly for them to notice that they were disturbing him.
"I'm sorry baby." Violet whispered to him and kissed his cheek gently.
"We won't talk anymore. Close your eyes. You're tired." Billie nodded and immediately fell asleep again, feeling his girlfriend's warm hand going up and down his face. He woke up again some hours later to find her sleeping on the bed next to him.
She was tossing and turning and didn't seem to have a peaceful sleep so he decided to get up and check on her.
"Hey... " he murmured and shook her a little. "You okay?"
"Yeah... " Violet rubbed her eyes and looked at him. "It's just the moving bus that makes me worried. It's nothing go back to sleep." He couldn't help but feel guilty for asking her to come with him to this.
She would be on her comfortable bed now and she would be sleeping normally.
"Billie I'm fine, really." She told him, guessing his thoughts. "But you need to seriously catch up with your sleep because you're the one who's going to rock thousands of people tomorrow not me okay?" she said and kissed him.
"Okay. I'll sleep but if you need anything... "
"I'll tell you baby don't worry. Goodnight."
"Goodnight." Billie got back to his bed and turned to his right so he could be watching Violet. She had done the same.
"Billie?"
"What?"
"I like it when you worry about me." Billie grinned and blew her a kiss.
"I like it when you worry about me too." He said and finally was able to sleep without any more interruptions.
"I have a question." Violet announced as she was playing cards with Tre, and Billie and Mike were reading comic books. "Out of all the countries we've visited so far which was your favorite?"
"I liked France." Billie said and winked at her.
"Sure you liked France." Tre shouted. "We only had like two shows and you two kept disappearing all the time to random places and I don't think that you were actually playing cards." He mattered.
"Italy was my favorite." Mike told them, turning the page of his magazine.
"Yeah Italy was great." Violet agreed. "I wish we could stay a bit more to Venice though. I love this city and we were there for only one night."
"Spain was a knock-out." Tre argued, trying to steal a glance of Violet's cards.
"Tre whether you cheat or not I'm still going to win. And Spain was a nightmare for me. My health was not at its highest, my Spanish is not that good and Mike kept saying that my hair was looking funny. Way to bring my self-confidence to the lowest by the way."
She said looking at Mike. "It did look funny!" Mike protested. They got into the same argument after that, where Violet would say that Mike saw things that didn't exist and Mike would defend himself by saying that Tre thought the same and then Tre would but in and say he didn't know anything and that Violet loves candy.
"Vi, come here for a moment." Billie patted the seat next to him. She smiled and did what he wanted, resting her head on his chest and settling her arms on his stomach. "What is it Billie?" she asked.
"Nothing. Just felt like cuddling all of a sudden."
"Okay Mr. I-Want-Attention-All-The-Time. There you go." He felt her holding him as tight as she could and she brought her legs up to his lap, giving him an enormous hug.
"Satisfied?" she asked playfully.
"Sure if you don't let go."
She smiled and looked up to him to kiss his chin. "I'll never let go." She said.
"Good to know. And neither will I."
"Couples in love... yak." Tre mumbled. "Are you going to get your ass over here so we can finish this game and I can get my reputation as the Absolute Winner back?"
"I'm sorry Tre my boyfriend feels lonely."
Violet was still embracing Billie and he was running his fingers on her bare arm, making her shudder. Tre shrugged and grabbed a magazine from Mike's pile, giving up.
"It was nice being with you all for three whole months." She told them. Mike looked up and gave her one of his shy smiles while Tre was blowing her kisses and Billie kissed her hair.
"And Europe is fantastic. I want to come back and visit all the places we didn't."
"We will." Billie promised. "But next time it's not going to be on a bus."
"And next time is going to be without Tre right? I mean I seriously can't stand that guy. I may act friendly around him but he irritates me so much... " she joked but Tre didn't seem to notice.
"Whatever darling. I know I'm the love of your life." He answered not even bothering to look at her.
"That was the best lunch I've ever had!" Violet exhaled happily and wrapped her arms around Billie.
"Glad you feel that way." He said and started searching for the keys of his house.
"Yeah the restaurant was excellent and the food was just divine and you seemed somewhat nervous so I got to eat your plate too." She told him. Billie just smirked and kept searching for the keys. "Please don't tell me we can't get in." She pleaded.
