"sixty should be enough." i mumbled, watching as she attempted to count the notes. they were a mix of twos, fives, tens, and twenties so i can see why her dumb ass was getting confused.

"i mean this in the most respectful way ever, but there's no point in you even attempting to count that, babe." i chuckled as billie sent me a glare.

"just give me three twenty notes and a ten just in case." i told her and she nodded.

"now that, i can count." she stated, proudly handing me the notes with a cheesy grin on her face. usually, i wouldn't take money from her like that. but... since it's date night or whatever...

"right," i said, putting the money in my pocket. "i'm gonna head down to the salon."

"okay, baby. get whatever nails you want. are you sure that's enough money for nails?" she asked and i thought about it. i mean, this is los angeles...

i sighed. "not really."

billie rolled her eyes playfully, taking out her wallet and giving me a fifty dollar note. "you're lucky i'm not a broke bitch anymore. look at you! getting spoiled and shit." she pointed at me. i posed, resting my chin on both of my hands and smiling, causing billie to laugh. "get out!"

"right. i'll meet you at.. i'm assuming the hair salon around the corner?" i asked and she nodded. "alright, i'll see you soon." i mumbled, leaving the apartment.

two and a half hours later, i met billie at the hair salon and she still had the blue dye in her hair. "it took so long to get the box dye out, my bad, baby. lemme see your nails!" she said and i smiled, showing her my nails.

billie's face lit up when she saw them. "they're so pretty, my love! pretty nails for a pretty girl."

"stop." i mumbled, my face heating up. she's been so nice since we literally killed someone together that day. it's weird, i don't know if i like it.

the hairdresser walked over to billie. "we're going to wash your hair out now, okay?" she asked and billie nodded, giving me a look. i walked over to the chairs that you wait on, watching as the hairdresser massaged billie's scalp.

i know i'm the jealous type, but like.. i'm the only one who should be massaging her scalp!

once billie's hair was finally done, i was in awe. it brought me back to when we were teenagers, it made billie look so much younger.

after billie payed way more cash than she should've, she walked over to me, her smile beaming. "i love it."

"it looks so good!" i gushed. "it suits you so well."

"thank you." she grinned. we left the salon and began to walk back towards the apartment, hand in hand. billie never wants to hold hands. "are you excited for our date?" billie asked and i nodded.

"yeah, we haven't been on one in like.. i don't know, a long time." i mentioned and she agreed.

"yeah, i'm excited too. today has just been so perfect."
