ten minutes later - april 12, 2020

about ten minutes later after i stumble out of the bar, billie is pulling up in her sexy ass matte black challenger. i practically fall into her car and close the door, leaning my head on her shoulder.

"hi, billie," i drag out, my eyes fluttering closed as i inhale her scent - a mix of what smells like twilight woods from bath and body works, and sunrise from avon.

"hi, mama," she says softly, pressing her lips to my forehead as she pulls away from the bar. "are you feeling okay?"

"i'm thirsty," i tell her with a hum.

she pulls a cup from the cup holder and hands it to me, holding the straw to my lips. "drink this - it'll make you feel better."

i take the cup into my hands and take a long sip of the drink, the flavors of orange juice, strawberries, and honey dance perfectly over my tongue. its like a party in my mouth. "whoa," i say softly, taking another drink.

"its good, yeah?" she asks me, glancing over at me as she drives. i nod in response, causing a soft laugh to leave her lips. "good - once we get back to mine, you can have more if you'd like."

"thank god," i say softly, my eyes closing as i continue to sip on the smoothie. "this is so good."

"i made it myself." she says softly, and i can hear the grin in her voice.

"you're a good smoothie-maker." i say lowly as i open my eyes, my body sinking into the seat as the world seemed to spin faster around me. "whoa, slow down-"

"i'm not going very fast-"

"slow down," i whine, my stomach churning as i wrap my arms around myself. "pull over - pull over now."

she pulls into a corner-store parking lot and parks the car, quickly getting out and running over to my side. before she could open the door, i've already crawled out of the car and now emptying my stomach into a randomly placed garbage bin.

once my stomach was empty and my throat was burning from the acid, i let out a groan and look up at a worried looking billie.

"exactly how much did you drink?" she asks me. helping me back into the car.

"just a few shots - oh, and a love potion." i tell her, feeling her reach over my body and buckle me in.

"what the fuck is a love potion?" she asks me as she climbs into the driver's seat, starting the car once again.

i explain the raspberry vodka, cranberry juice, grenadine, and sweetened lime juice concoction with a raspberry garnish to the confused girl.

"that...actually sounds kind of good," she mutters under her breath before shaking her head and pulling into the driveway of her house. "we're here, baby."

i get out of the car and walk with her to the front door, my heart pounding when i think about the possibilities of what could happen in her red room.

sorry this is so short lmao its kind of a filler
