Love me // Judd Birch x Reader

5: Judd's Apartment

We got back to his and in the meantime I had gotten plenty of calls from Julian, who was drunk out of his mind. I told him that I was going on a walk to clear my head, when in reality I was sitting on Judd Birch's bed in his apartment near the centre of town. Judd was currently in the bathroom taking a shower, whilst I was waiting for him though I decided to take a look around. Not to be nosy, but just out of plain curiosity. His room was surprisingly tidy, apart from a few clothes that were on the floor, so I picked them up and folded them, placing them on the chair that was placed in front of what looked like his work desk. 

Something suddenly caught my eye, it was laying on his desk where his computer was placed. It was turned face down and looked like a picture frame. I walked over and grabbed it, turning it over, a gasp caught in my throat when I saw what it was. It was a photo he had taken of me when we were still together, from our science trip. Why did he still have this? 

"Hey did you just take a photo of me?" I giggled, turning to face him whilst we were walking through the field to get back to the dorm. 
"Maybe." He smirked, putting his phone back into his pocket. 
"At least take one where I'm facing you." I smiled, watching him take out his phone again. 
"Alright then pose." He told me, I posed with my tongue out and heard the click of the photo and then returned to my normal face. "Pretty." He said before grabbing my hand and walking me back to the dorm. 

The sound of the door opening snapped me out of my trance, I slammed the photo frame back on the table face down in the position I had found it in. He hadn't lied I guess, when he said that he had stayed in love with me for the past few years, did that mean that he also had problems in relationships he had been in since me? Judd walked towards me with a confused expression on his face. "Is everything ok?" He asked in a caring voice. I nodded and ran into his arms, enveloping him into a tight embrace. When I pulled away I decided now was the right time to address a few things, if we were going to start fresh we had to clear a few things up. 

I sat down on his bed and tapped the space next to me, indicating that I wanted him to sit next to me. He placed himself next to me and then turned to face me fully. "I wanted to know something..." My voice trailed off and I made a little bit of eye contact before looking back at my hands which were placed in my lap. 
"What?" He asked, with a raised eyebrow. I was trying to find the right words to say what I was thinking, or what I had pondered on for so long. 
"Why did you ignore me for 3 weeks before we broke up?" He winced when I said 'broke up' but then his expression softened, I continued, "Because after everything that had happened you just disappeared and I didn't know what to do." He took a minute to think about what to say, or how to say it, but when he started to explain it his reasons took me completely by surprise. 
"Well, after the whole pregnancy scare I had to take some time to myself, and during that time I realised something that took me myself by surprise, I didn't ignore you because I wanted to break up. But I realised that did actually wanted you to have a baby, our baby." He sounded nervous with every word that came out of his mouth, "And I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to scare you away, and I was just...unsure what to do because-" But that's all I needed to hear. I slammed my lips onto his. He melted into the kiss and I decided to take action and began straddling him, he grabbed my waist and pulled it towards him, closing the distance between us. 

"So that whole time that I was thinking I had scared you off because of the pregnancy scare, the whole time you wanted a baby after all." I smirked, but inside I was feeling like an idiot. That day in the rain I should've just let him explain, then maybe I would've saved myself all the pain. In a way though I was glad we broke up, it gave us both a chance to grow as people, and now we were both different- with different experiences that could make us better in this new relationship? 

"Y-Yeah b-basically." Did Judd Birch just stutter in front of me? I widened my eyes and then continued kissing him. This was too cute for me to handle, and on top of that a blush had broken out on his cheeks. 
"Judd Birch are you blushing?" I asked with a exaggerated look of surprise on my face- teasing the boy that I was currently straddling, suddenly his small smile disappeared and he got all serious. He then proceeded to flip me over and started kissing my neck in small little pecks, I began giggling and squirming due to the fact that it tickled. It felt as if we were back to normal and this time we were in his apartment so there wouldn't be anyone that could interrupt us, or so I thought. 

He then pulled away to look me in the eyes and say: "Never leave me again (Y/n) Glaser." I smiled, this time a blush broke out on my cheeks. 

It would've been a really sweet moment had it not been for the brunette girl that suddenly burst into the room out of breath.
