Chapter 48

She left for the other room and Isaiah turned on the tv to watch a movie.

Isaiah' I feel like I'm forgetting something....the bracelet. Mhhh, I'll just give it to her when I come back.'

45 minutes later the plane finally took off and was going to fly for around 16 hours and 15 minutes. By the time the plane landed in Los Angeles, it would be around 6 Am in the night.

As Isaiah was sitting down with his laptop the silver-haired girl entered and sat down on the other end of the couch. She put on some headphones only covering one ear and started listing to music while writing something on paper.

They were both silent for another 20 minutes before the girl started to sing.

O'Connell" Don't be that way

Fall apart twice a day

I just wish you could feel what you say

Show, never tell

But I know you too well

Got a mood that you wish you could sell

If teardrops could be bottled There'd be swimming pools filled by models

Told a tight dress is what makes you a whore

If "I love you" was a promise,

Would you break it, if you're honest?

Tell the mirror what you know she's heard before

I don't..."

As she sang Isaiah who was typing stopped to listen. The way she sang was so soothing. He was mesmerized as he listened on but was disappointed when she stopped.

Isaiah" You have a beautiful voice. Was that an original."

O'Connell" Huh, oh yeah thanks, and it is. I've been writing it for the past month."

Isaiah" Is that so, the names Isaiah Lai by the way." He said holding out his hand.

Billie " Billie Eilish, but my friends just call me Bil or Eli. So what made you want to go to California."

Isaiah" Visiting a few relatives, And you."

Billie" Going back home, I was born there after all."

As Billie and Isaiah got to know each other they were surprised at how they didn't feel awkward or bored. In fact, they had a lot of topics to talk about and weren't bored in the slightest.

They had been talking for over an hour and Billie who was somewhat depressed before felt her mood improve the more she talked to Isaiah.

They had a lot in common like they both had the same favourite food and liked the same music which was a plus for her as a musician and artist herself.

As they talked they were visited by the Flight attendant. She asked them if they needed anything and they both asked for a glass of water.

After the Flight attendant left Isaiah looked at Billie and asked.

Isaiah" Billie are you not hot with that warm jacket. You can take it off you know."

Billie paused for a moment. As she's talked to Isaiah she realized he didn't know who she was.

To avoid being sexualized she almost always wore baggy clothing. She also knew for people her age her, body was more mature and developed than most so she hid it under the baggy clothes.

And as an artist she had to Murture not only physically but mentally as well. That's why she knows that boys her age would only look at the girl's body and face before her personality. Not all but most.

Even tho she's only know Isaiah for an hour he seemed cool, Pluss they had a bunch in common. She thought for a moment before unbuttoning her jacket. While doing this she also kept eye contact with his eyes to see how he reacts.

She was surprised that he never looked away from her eyes. He didn't even look down or blink. She felt happy on the inside and relived.

Isaiah" Is everything alright Billie?" he asked confused by her weird reaction.

Billie" Giggle, everything's fine. Now, where was I again, oh right it was my brothers birthday and we..."

Just like that, another 2 hours pass and it was time to eat.

Isaiah" What are having Eli"

Billie" Mhh, I'll probably go for the vegetarian option. What about you."

Isaiah" Mhh, I'll probably just have the pasta with a cezer chicken salad."

After lunch, the both of them did their own thing. Billie continued to sing and write down notes while Isaiah played on his phone. But now it was different. Before they were a good metre apart but after getting to know each other they sat right next to each other.

Billie who was writing lyrics got frustrated again and asked Isaiah out of the blue.

Billie" Hey wanna play truth or dare."

Isaiah was surprised but then interested.' This could be fun." Sure, let me just find an app we can use." As he was scrolling through the app store Billie saw one that looked fun to play.

Billie" How about that one."

Isaiah" That one, you sure about that."

Billie" Ohhh, are you scared. Come on live a little." She said poking him in the chest teasingly.

Isaiah" Alright, alright. You win."

Once they downloaded the app. They went on couples mode. We both wrote our names and spun the wheel.

It landed on Isaiah.

Isaiah" Mh, let's start off with a truth first. Have you ever gotten hard while talking to someone? Mh, I don't think I have."

Billie" What cmun that has to be a lie."She said jokingly.

Isaiah" what can I say, I practise the Buddist ways."

Isaiah/Billie" Hahaha."

They spun again and this time it landed on Billie's name.

Billie" I'll also do a truth, How old were you when you first watched...I can't answer that." She said in embarrassment.

Isaiah" Hey you picked the couple's truth or dare app. You dug your own grave. But how about if you don't answer or don't do a dare you have to drink one shot."

Billie" Alright your on."

37 rounds later

After 37 seven rounds, Billie had drunk 10 shots and was a bit tipsy while Isaiah had drunk 7 but was ok. He thought it would be unfair to Billie if he used his powers so he surpassed them.
