"shut up with that!" billie said as she laughed loudly.
"i dunno, bil... i'm just saying, i have a feeling that we're destined to fall in love." i shrugged with a lazy smile.

"yeah, so you know how i was telling you that i had a feeling that i would see billie again?" i asked matt as i leaned back in my seat and held my phone against my ear.
"mhm." he hummed.
"two days after that, she came into that coffee shop that's near my apartment building," i told him. "i told you that i'd see her again, dude!"
he laughed a bit. "alright, so did you talk to her? did you get her number?"
"i talked to her... but i didn't get her number." i sighed.
he let out a sigh as well. "damn, jj. why not?"
"aht, aht, don't 'damn, jj' me," i shook my head, even though he couldn't see me. "i tried to her number!"
"again... why didn't you?"
"okay, so i told her 'lemme get your number,' right? and she laughed and was like 'you're really trying to get my number when i have a kid?'" i started explaining to him. "so, of course, i was like 'yeah.'"
"and then what?" he pressed.
"she checked the time and said she had to leave or else she was gonna be late for her hair appointment." i sighed.
"well, then she probably has a boyfriend... or a husband or some shit." he said.
"she's not married; or at least, she wasn't wearing a ring," i pointed out. "and if she is dating somebody, doncha think she would've said something about it? like, 'nah, you can't get my number, i'm dating someone,' you know?"
he was silent for a moment. "you've got a point, i guess. then again though, what are the odds that you'll see her again?"
"i don't know." i mumbled as i adjusted my hat.
it was silent for a moment. i heard the door to the tattoo parlor open. "yo, someone just walked in, so i'll call you later, yeah?"
"yeah, of course."
we ended the call, and i pocketed my phone as i stood up. i walked out of my room to check who had walked in.
my eyes widened a bit, though i couldn't help the smile that came to my face.
it was billie.
and she of course had cameron with her, who was holding her hand. or more so, holding her index finger.
"oh," her eyes widened a bit. "i didn't know you worked here..."
"yeah, i do." i chuckled.
"it suits you, now that i think about it," she murmured before raising a brow. "uh... so, y'all do walk-ins, right?"
