The Punk Princess, chapter 3
The next day when I woke up, I had a smile on my face. 'Yes! Today I get to see Billie!' I thought excitedly. I hopped up and started jumping on the bed.
I stopped jumping and pondered for a second, 'What time am I supposed to go to his place?' I scrambled to find the slip of paper. Finally I found it tucked in one of my socks. It said at two, so I had most of the whole day to myself.
At Billie's house....
Billie paced around his home, making sure everything was perfect. "What's wrong dude? She's only a girl, right?" Mike asked lazily.
Billie bristled. "She's not some girl!" he replied with a glare.
"Billie's in love!" Tre teased.
"Whatever." Billie sighed.
"So when do we get to meet this chick?" Mike asked.
"Today." Billie answered happily.
"Coolness!" Tre shouted in a girly voice.
Billie and Mike chuckled at Tre.
"When is she coming?" Tre asked excitedly.
"At two." Billie replied.
Mike glanced at the clock, "Well we still got a few hours."
A few hours later....
I was almost ready; I just had to put a few finished touches on my appearance.
I had decided to wear another black skirt with a black tank top and a black denim coat to go over it. I put on my usual too much eyeliner and put my hair in a ponytail. I must say I looked rather fetching which (in my opinion) isn't too often. I didn't want Billie to know how much effort I had put in my outfit but then I really wanted to impress him. I couldn't find my other shoes so I decided to wear my Creepers again. I went out to my car and headed out.
Even though I had just gotten my car, already it was littered with Green Day CDs. When I got to the address Billie had given me, I looked at the house in awe. It was huge and had a beautiful landscape. It looked like what I had imagined as my dream home during one of my daydreams. I felt slightly intimidated, something I was not accustomed to, as I walked towards the door.
I raised my hand to knock but before my hand even touched the door, it swung open. A guy with sparkling blue eyes surrounded by eyeliner and hair that was spiked opened the door. I immediately recognized him as Tre Cool.
"So you're the girl Billie was telling us about!" Tre yelled. He started doing a strange little dance.
Another guy with blondish hair and blue eyes appeared. Mike Dirnt. "You'll have to excuse Tre; he was dropped on his head when he was a baby." Mike said kindly.
I giggled and walked inside, looking around as I made my way inside. We sat down in the living room.
"There's probably no need for an introduction." Mike said with a knowing smile."
"Yeah I know exactly who you guys are." I replied, smiling.
"Billie never told us your name though." Mike said with a questioning look.
"Melanie..." I said hesitantly. I closed my eyes,"....van der Woodsen."
"Holy shits are you serious!?!?!?" Tre asked excitedly.
"Whoa!" Mike sat back with a stunned look.
Just then Billie appeared. "Hey, Mel." he greeted me. He walked over to me and kissed my cheek. I blushed when I saw that Mike and Tre were watching intently.
Billie noticed them and gave me an apologetic look.
"Where's your bathroom?" I asked, eager to get away from the curious gazes of my favorite band.
"Upstairs, third door on the left." Billie replied.
Billie's P.O.V.
Once Melanie disappeared, Mike and Tre immediately bombarded him with questions.
"How did you meet her?" Tre demanded.
"She's a fucking royal!" Mike said at the exact same time.
"Whoa slow down guys!" Billie said with a small laugh.
"Tell us everything!" Tre begged.
"Okay....." Billie started.
I really didn't have to go to the bathroom; I just needed to minute to regain my composure. Seeing my idols joke around with me like we were mates had been a bit much to handle, especially when I had just met them. It still had been totally awesome though. I went into the bathroom and splashed some cold water on my face, careful not to smear my make up. I emerged from the bathroom, feeling recharged. I walked down the stairs slowly, just like I had done at every boring dinner and ball. I must say, I do know how to make an entrance.
All three pairs of eyes were on me.
I smiled at Billie, he looked absolutely riveted. Mike and Tre did as well but they were taken, not that I was interested in them, I only had eyes for Billie.
I plopped down by Billie with a grin on my face.
Mike rose, "Does anybody want anything to drink?"
"I do!" Tre said excitedly and started bouncing up and down on the couch.
"Sure." I replied.
"I'll help you." Billie offered and left the room with Mike.
Tre stopped bouncing. "So." he said slowly.
"So." I replied in the same voice.
Tre looked at me curiously.
I saw his eyes drift down towards my chest.
"Tre!" I said, "Eyes up here!"
Tre turned red and gave me an embarrassed smile.
Luckily Mike and Billie appeared with the drinks. Billie handed me a cup.
I took a small sip; Vanilla Vodka.
"Yay!" Tre shrieked, before downing the whole drink.
This was quite a feat because the glass was rather large.
"That's good stuff." he said while rubbing his stomach.
Billie and Mike just laughed. I smiled and took a sip of my drink.
It went on like that for the rest of the afternoon, just chatting and sipping vodka, basically just having a good time.
When I had to go, Billie followed me to the door to say a proper good bye away from the peeping eyes of Mike and Tre.
"Wanna come back tomorrow?" Billie asked, hopefully.
"Sure." I said with a warm smile.
He leaned to kiss my cheek but I turned my head and he accidentally kissed my lips. I felt my heart flop and my face turn red.
He looked surprised and mumbled his goodbye. I hadn't meant to turn my head, it just happened. I hurried back to my hotel room, all the way wondering if Billie had felt what I had.
When I got back, I hopped on my laptop and went to my favorite Green Day fan site, GeekStinkBreath.net. I thought about writing on a message board about
everything, but I doubt they would have believed that I had kissed Billie, hung out with Green Day in Billie's house, and been invited back, all in one day. Soon I grew bored on the Internet so I began listening to my iPod. I listened to "Killing Loneliness" by H.I.M. and then let it play through. After had finished listening to "Animal I Have Become" by Three Days Grace, I turned my iPod off and went to sleep.
I stopped jumping and pondered for a second, 'What time am I supposed to go to his place?' I scrambled to find the slip of paper. Finally I found it tucked in one of my socks. It said at two, so I had most of the whole day to myself.
