Therefore I am Yours | Billie Eilish - Watty Awards 2022

4. WAY HOME

Jordan POV

As we are waiting in the cold for Billie's Uber, I check my phone to find out if my dad is still up to get me. He didn't reply to my texts or calls in quite some time. Did he forget?

"Damn, Billie. I am hella cold" I say shaking.

"Well, you're not wearing that much. No wonder." She chuckles.
"Come here" She holds out her arms.

Hell yes. A Billie-Hug.

I walk over and she opens the front of her Jacket and wraps it around me. I hold onto her warm waist, my head burried in her chest. This feeling is just superior.

During our long day, the fact that she is extremely famous and rich kind of faded out. I have been spending my day with Billie. Not Billie Eilish.

A sudden *buzz* takes me back to reality.
It's my phone. I don't want to break out of her embrace though. It just feels so good after this stressful day.

"Bils? Can you get my phone from my back pocket, please? Someone texted me." I ask, wondering if she'll do it because.. You know.

It's my ass-pocket.

Billie POV

"Sure" I answer.

I aim for her back pocket, slightly worried because I can't see where exactly it is. And of course I don't want to grab her ass or something.

I grab it, luckily not failing. And hand it into my jacket where she is still leaned up and comfy against my chest.

"Here, mamas."

"Thank you" She says unhiding and taking it looking into my eyes.

I am sure the people around us are convinced, we are a couple. Finneas probably wonders too because Jordan and I have gotten incredibly close in such a short time. Kinda scary, but she is just so easy to talk to. I am surprised by myself for opening up to some stranger but i just got positive vibes from her the second i saw her. And, she didn't seem to really know who I am. I wonder if she thinks about us as friends or if she has the same strange feelings, that are building up. I don't even know if i like her in that way. I have never considered girls for a relationship. I just always believed I was straight. Until now. Maybe I am going to take it slow with her though.

"Fuck this man, honestly." I hear Jordan mumble angrily in front of me.

"What happened?" I ask, wondering what upsets her.

"My stupid dad had 'something coming up' and now he can't come pick me up. He never has time for me." She sighs, looking down disappointed.

"Hey, look at me." I lift her chin to make her look into my eyes.

There it is again. The strange feeling.

"I'm sorry he can't come get you but we can take you. There's no problem. I mean, we live very close so." I smirk.

"Billie. You already did so much for me today. And I am not taking all if this for granted, i hope you know. I am just going to call someone else." Jordan shrugs.

"Sorry, but.. are you out of your mind? No. You're coming with us and this time I am taking you hostage. I say.

I see the Uber pulling up and grab Jordans hand.

"Let's go home!"

*TIME SKIP TO 5min INTO THE DRIVE*

Jordan POV

"Hey, by the way. Nice to meet you, uhm.. what's your name?" Finneas asks me from the front seat of the Uber. Billie and I sitting in the back.

"Jordan" I smile nicely.

"Nice to meet you. I am glad Billie finally found a friend." He jokes, making only him laugh.
"Just kidding, she has friends." He adds.

"Funny." Billie says ironically, holding her resting Bitch-Face.

"So.. where do you live? I mean where are do we drop you off? I hope it's not too far away." Finneas says, looking at me through the rearview mirror."

"I actually live in Highland Park, coincidentally."

"Wait... Are you being serious? It's crazy, i have never seen you before.. how is that possible?"
Finneas says shocked.
"Maybe I know you're Family. What's your last name?" He adds.

"Lewis. My dad's name is Carter Lewis. And mine too. My parents are actually divorced." I say, thinking back to my childhood.

"I am sorry for that. May I ask what he works?" He asks, trying not to sound too noisy.

"He is a Surgeon. Boring shit." I tell him.

I look at Billie and she is smiling, looking at me.
There it is again. That unknown feeling.

"Here we are, guys. I'm going to help you unload your Luggage." The driver says, getting out.

I look out of the window at a cute little red house. If I am being honest, it doesn't look like a Billie Eilish would live here. It's cute though, i like it.

"J? Can you hear me?" Billie waves in front of my face, pulling me out of my thought.

She grabs my hand and pulls me out of the car.
I follow her inside, admiring everything i see.

"Here's my room. I'm sorry it's a but untidy, i didn't know i was going to return with someone that was going to look at it." Billie apologizes, her cheeks turning a slight shade of red.

I step in and look around.

"So this is the room of Billie Eilish, huh?" I smile.

"It's nothing special, LMAO. Sit down."

*LITTLE TIME SKIP*

Billie POV

"Okay, so I am going to walk you home. It's already dark outside." I say to Jordan, grabbing her bagpack for me to carry.

"Give it to me, I can take it." She says, trying to snatch the bag.

I pull away and she trips because she was holding onto the bagpack. Out or reflex, I hold my arms out. Luckily catching here before she hits the ground.

"Whoa, I'm sorry. I did not mean to do that. You good?" I say, feeling really bad. Jordan still in my arms.

"Yeah, haha. I'm good don't worry but you really don't have to carry my bag." She says, standing up.

"I insist." I smile like an idiot.

*TIME SKIP TO JORDANS HOUSE*

Jordan POV

"Thanks for walking me home, Bils. This day was way more fun, than I thought." I say, blushing because the feeling is back.

"No problem, I had a great time. Have a good night." Billie says, stepping back.

She steps forward again to give me a hug. It lasted longer than a normal hug. I wish I could've hugged her for longer though.

"Bye, goodnight." I say opening the front door to our big house.

"See ya." She winks, turning around and walking down the dark streets of Highland Park.

What does the wink even mean?
