- saylor's pov -

after going to many award shows with billie over these past few months, it's time for the last and final award ceremony which is of course, the oscar's.

billie's assistant went to go pick up both our outfits for tonight which was coming from chanel.

she got there and sent me a picture of my dress.

it was sooooo sexy, i was super excited to wear it.

her assistant brought our clothes and we finished up with hair and makeup. once we were done getting ready, i couldn't help but to stare at billie as she looked so good, of course.

while we were on our way to the event, billie and i kept looking at her phone, seeing all the fuss about us on social media.

every since she was seen hugging me and giving me roses at my competition, people are skeptical.

but, billie's known for being very affectionate with her friends so some people think we're just platonic.

and, some people also remember seeing pictures of billie attending my wedding so they definitely think we're just cool.

funny..

we made it to the red carpet and billie took some individual pictures before telling me to come out there and join her.

i took some individual photos too, and then i jumped in a couple with billie.

we continued to walk the carpet and mingle with people we'd see. after going to so many events with her, i'm used to seeing my favorite celebrities everywhere but i still have to remind myself to remain calm sometimes.

it was time to start going inside to sit down so billie and i walked hand in hand through the crowd of celebrities that were on the carpet.

as we made it around the corner, i could hear someone behind me calling "saylor saylor saylor!"

billie kinda kept walking some but i turned around. it was a reporter who was gesturing his finger for me to come here.

"he literally just wants to get some information on you and billie's relationship," finneas told me.

"ohhhh," i slowly nodded before turning around and continuing to walk.

as i made it around the corner, i saw billie didn't get too far, and the reason why..

was because of quinn.

quinn was right there talking to billie with that thirsty ass smile of hers. i walked up behind billie and hooked my arm into hers.

billie looked at me. "you good? was someone trying to get your attention?"

"yeah all good," i grinned. "just a reporter," i shrugged.

"hi saylor," quinn blinked. "you look lovely."

"aw you really think so?" i grinned, knowing she was being bitter.

"mhm," she grinned sarcastically. "you're really enjoying this spotlight billie gives you huh?"

"what do you mean by that?" i tilted my head.

"the shows, designers, red carpet," quinn rose her eyebrows. "it's like you're a natural at it now. i bet you look forward to all of it huh?"

i furrowed my eyebrows. "what, you tryna say im-"

billie just started rubbing my arm. "not here, not here," she said softly.

i sighed. "so what're you doing out here anyway?" i asked quinn. "aren't you supposed to be behind the scenes?"

billie looked at me after that comment. maybe she didn't know that i knew what quinn did for work.

"i told them i can get more done by being out here," quinn said to me.

"doesn't seem like much is getting done with you talking to billie," i rose my eyebrows.

"okayyyyy," billie interrupted. "we should g-

"oh my god billie!" a celebrity came up to her with excitement.

"oh my god!" billie exclaimed, hugging them.

the celebrity then pulled her away for them to go talk.

so i took this as my chance.

"you're not slick," i said to quinn. "billie doesn't want you. you look desperate."

"you know what i find so interesting?" she squinted. "you started dating billie right after paige got arrested."

i shrugged. "okay?"

"for that to happen, you too would've had to been very close before," she folded her arms.

i rolled my eyes. "oh my god."

"but i'd see how you guys would interact before hand anyway," quinn continued. "so you had to have been involved with billie while you were still with paige, i know you were."

"why does any of that fucking matter right now?" i furrowed my eyebrows.

"i don't think paige would appreciate it if she knew you were cheating on her," she smirked. "especially with billie."

"so suddenly you care about how paige feels?" i started. "you didn't seem to care when i cheated on her with you."

her smirk dropped.

"yeah," i grinned. "what a great friend you are."

"shut up," quinn said. "it wasn't like that."

"wasn't like that?" i rose my eyebrows. "whenever she wasn't home, you made sure that you were in town to be in my bed with me. so i don't wanna hear it."

she just huffed.

"you can tell her i cheated on her with billie," i laughed. "but guess what? she already knows."

no words to say, quinn continued to squint at me with annoyance.

"but text billie's phone again, and i'll go up to that jail myself and tell paige how one of her best friends was begging me to fuck every night."

all quinn could do was suck her teeth.

i then smiled. "toodles," i waved as i walked away.

i went over to billie and hooked arms again. she looked at me and smiled.

her and i made it inside and found our seats. the show started and it was very nice. billie performed our song and it was the most beautiful thing.

we all gave my girl a standing ovation that was greatly deserved, and i shed tears as i could see hers too.

then to no surprise, billie won the oscar for 'best original song' and we were all so stoked and emotional.

her and finneas went up there and gave a great speech or whatever. but then billie went on..

"um and to saylor, words could never express the depth of my gratitude for having you by my side," she started. "this song would've never gotten written if it wasn't for you. i was so down and unmotivated but you lifted me up and you literally wrote this song with me, which is why this oscar belongs to you."

i immediately teared up, and claudia passed me a napkin that was on the table.

"i just wanted to thank you in front of the whole world and give you your credit because you deserve it," billie continued. "i love you, baby."

the crowd then started cheering and billie and finneas walked off stage. the camera then panned to me, showing my tearful reaction.

"welp," claudia grinned. "there goes y'all's discreet relationship."

i woke up to my social media accounts spammed by thousands of billie fans. my followers grew, my dms are flooded, and my TL is nothing but billie and i posted on multiple media sources.

some of her fans were mentioning how she was just seen at my wedding and then a few months later, we're together. they're all confused and it's honestly gonna have to stay that way.

she came in the bedroom and laid next to me. "you okay?"

"yeah," i nodded. "kinda scary though."

"it is," she agreed. "im sorry. i knew that would happen when i said what i said-"

"no stop," i shook my head. "im cool with the world knowing."

billie smiled. "really?"

"yeah," i kissed her.

"wait no one is being mean to you right?"

"not that i've seen," i shrugged.

"okay good," she nodded of relief.

"just months ago i was so curious to know your name," billie started. "now im eating with you in my kitchen while you're wearing my tshirt and in your underwear."

"crazy how life works huh?" i chuckled.

"very," b started. "but anyway, i have a question."

"is it about the way im cutting this onion?" i squinted at her.

"no," she laughed. "it's about um... tour."

"oh," i looked at her. "okay," i put the knife down, giving her all of my attention.

"when it comes time for it," she looked down in nervousness. "would you like to um maybe come with me?"

i rose my eyebrows. "li- like travel the world with you?"

"uh yeah but like if it's too much then you don't have to," billie shook her head, twiddling her fingers. "i was just asking to see what you think about it."

"um," i looked down, in thought. "i'd love to."

she perked up. "wait really?"

"yeah," i smiled. "you kidding? travel the world with my love? i could never turn that down."

billie started blushing. "okay cool."

"you're really cute when you get nervous," i said to her.

"stop no that's embarrassing," she groaned as she started to walk away.

"no it's cute," i dragged with a laugh. "stop come back."
