{ billie's pov }

"I'm victoria rousseau, from rousseau industries. as the new maid, you'll probably be seeing me here a lot and-"

"i'm not a 'maid'. I'm billie o'connell the boys' nanny."

"oh, well, in that case.." she looked at me, clearly expecting me to get out of her way.

bitch.

"It's weird anastasia didn't invite you to her birthday dinner." i said smiling.

"i'm sure she would've if she'd known i was in town."

"she didn't call and check?"

"not that it's any of your business, but we talked last night. I just hadn't decided to come back home."

"right, sorry i didn't mean to pry."

"but you did, and i understand that you can't help but be interested in the lifestyles of the rich and famous."

she pushed her way past me heading straight to the dining room.

"victoria? what are you doing here?" anastasia asked confused.

"happy birthday!" victoria said smiling.

victoria greeted her with a kiss on the cheek and handed her a small velvet box.

"a diamond tennis bracelet? thank you it's lovely." ana said smiling at her.

"only the best for my sunshine."

victoria reached out and played with jason's hair, he stiffened.

"aren't you happy to see me jacob? I brought presents for you boys too."

"i'm jason." he said rolling his eyes.

"that's what i said. how would you like a new watch?Its gucci. I got one for you too jacob."

"thanks, just what i always wanted." he said sarcastically.

"you have good taste." victoria said letting out a fake smile.

has she even hung out with these kids?

"what a thoughtful gift victoria, gucci timepieces might be a little mature for them, but that's something we can discuss later." anastasia said.

"you're never to young to become a style icon." victoria said.

she moved into my damn seat and looked up at me while i stood there.

"aren't you going to pick up the plates?"

damn bitch the fuck

"I'm here for the kids. cleaning the house isn't part of my job description."

"well in that case, you can leave." she said smiling.

"victoria you can't just-" anastasia tried talking but victoria interrupted her.

"ana, you'll never guess who was in first class with me."

"-talk to-"

"kendall jenner! can you believe it? now that's a style icon. she-"

anastasia tried to cut in, but victoria talked over her again. she looked up at me and mouthed an "i'm sorry."

"goodnight everyone." i said before i made my way back to my room.

i plopped on my bed deciding if i should text finneas or claudia, i'll text claudia since i know she'll answer right away.

╰───────────────╯

a knock on the door make me look away from my phone screen.

I swear to god if it's victoria making me dry clean or something i'm losing my shit.

i went to open the door and saw anastasia.

"billie.."

"what? is everything okay?"

"can we talk? victoria left and the boys are asleep."

"I was about to go to bed actually."

"It won't take long."

I stayed silent for a minute as i watched her move a strand of hair behind her ear.

"please. I don't like how we left things back there."

I moved a bit to let her inside my room.

I closed the door and turned around, lowkey surprised on how close she was.

"im so sorry billie, i never should've let her talk to you like that. I should've been more insistent that she stops immediately, instead of trying to wait for an opening."

she reached out and put her hands on my shoulders.

"did you know she was coming?"

"no, i promise, she was supposed to be in Italy for another week."

we looked at each other while she slowly let go of me.

"god you make it so hard to be mad at you.."

"good."

"It's not the same as an apology from her though. also why isn't she here, talking to me herself? Is she too good to apologize?"

"I told her to go home. I just wanted to enjoy what was left of my birthday. everything had been so perfect..until she got here."

she slowly closed her eyes as she rubbed her neck with a pained expression.

"sorry, i have these horrible knots."

"maybe i can do something about that for you.."

I moved behind her and slipped my palms over her shoulders, digging my thumbs into the tense muscles.

"god that feels so good..but you've done enough billie."

"It's fine, trust me."

she moaned and a shiver went through my body, my lips found her ear, and i slowly whispered to her.

"tell me where it hurts.."

"a little higher..."

my thumbs dig into her back,. and i felt her melt into my touch.

"you should, take off your shirt." I whispered to her.

she turned around and looked at me before obeying. god i wonder what she's thinking of.

she unbuttoned her shirt and shrugged it off her shoulders, all my thoughts disappeared as she tossed her shirt to the side.

my palms were against her shoulders again and i worked on the stiff muscles, relishing the chance to touch her.

"you sure know how to make a woman feel...good."

"I'm a woman of many talents."

"you've been proving that since day one."

she waited for a moment and her tone changed

"i guess that's why i couldn't stand her treating you like that." she said softly.

"i mean yeah it was shitty but...birthday law mandates we pause that conversation and focus on you."

"you're too good for me."

"yeah, don't forget that."

{omniscient }

billie's hands travel lower along anastasia's torso until her thumbs were rubbing along her hips, she slowly grazed the curve of her ass.

"is this okay?" billie asked quietly.

anastasia shifted as billie kept rubbing her fingers up and down.

"uh, yeah i just feel..restless."

"i know what you mean."

anastasia slowly turned to face billie.
billie skimmed her fingers along anastasias jawline, drawing her closer to her.

"so, when do i get my massage." billie said jokingly.

anastasia reached out to billie, her eyes darkening with desire.

"billie I-"

all of a sudden they hear jason scream.

"mom! can I have my nightlight tonight?!"

startled by reality they both jump away from each other.

"sounds like jason needs you." billie said looking nervously.

anastasia nodded, still looking at billie, finally she put her shirt back on.

"be right there buddy!" she said loudly.

"billie-"

"It's fine go."

anastasia gave billie one last look before walking out. billie swallowed hard watching as she closed the door behind her.
