Master turned Soft

(20)

Juliens POV-

I rubbed my fingertips over her arms. She hadn't said much since we had gotten in the bath.

"Do you wanna talk?" I asked. She replied with the shake of her head. "Then listen. You aren't some fake sub. You aren't just someone experimenting with no hope for a real outcome. And you aren't at fault for Hayden leaving. And you aren't at fault for Wesley and Lindy's issues."

She didn't say anything and I didn't push it further than that.

A few silent minutes passed before she rolled herself slightly so she was basically in my lap, her face pressed against my chest.

I rubbed her back and kissed her head. I wasn't good with emotions. But I knew right now, all she wanted was to be held. And that, I was good at.

"You can sleep with me tonight. If you want" I said brushing her hair out.

"Okay"

"Do you want your hair braided?" I asked, and received a nod, so I French braided it loosely so it was comfortable to sleep in.

I kissed her neck softly, "all done."

She stood up and ran her fingers over the braid.
"Thank you"

"You're very welcome."

"When did you learn how to braid" she asked.

I stood up and grabbed one of my t shirts, "my mom. She told me it would be a good skill to know for when I had kids. I would be able to braid my daughters hair. She had me practice on her."

I lifted Kendall's arms up and put the shirt over her naked body.

"When can I meet your parents? I mean like do you want me to ever meet them?"

"Well you met my dad once, but my mom is much nicer" I laughed, "if you are ready to meet them, then you can."

She nodded softly.

"What about your parents?" I asked.

She shrugged, "I haven't spoken to them in seven months."

"Why" I folded back the covers on her side and she crawled in.

"They never liked Hayden. And when Hayden and I had first got together, he did something dumb. So they gave me the choice of either him or them. And at the time I was, or thought I was, madly in love with Hayden. So I chose him. And then he moved me out here. My parents live about four hours away. And I've not spoken to them since. But I send them a card every holiday."

"Do you still love him?" I asked. My own curiosities getting the better of me.

She reached out and grabbed my hand, "No. You know how when people break up with their big love, and they say they'll always have a piece of their heart and that they'll always love them?"

"Yeah?"

"I feel the complete opposite. Hayden no longer owns any part of me."

I leaned down and kissed her softly.

"So why not contact your parents? Now that Hayden is out of your life?"

"Because when I chose him over them, the looks on their faces was something I'll never forget. And I'm not sure they'll forgive me. And I don't wanna find out."

"I'm sure they miss you. They're missing out on a great person" I pecked her lips and got into bed.

"Julien?" She mumbled softly after a few moments.

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"Everything." She laid her head on my chest.

I rubbed her back, "of course."

I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes the next morning. I smiled looking over at Kendall still asleep peacefully.

I click on my phone to see the time. However I seen 3 missed calls from a number i didn't want to contact me.

I got up and stepped out of the room before returning his call.

"Ahhh, Julien."

"What do you want?"

"No hello to your best friend?" Hayden laughed.

"I don't even know you anymore. What do you want?"

"Is my girlfriend there by chance?"

"She isn't your girlfriend anymore, bud. She's mine. So unless you have something important to say, adios."

"Im coming back. I have everything in New York all sorted out. So, I'll see you two soon, yeah?"

I hung up the phone and slammed it against the wall.

"Sir?"

I turned to look at Kendall standing in the doorway.

"Good morning, sweetie" I tried to push all my frustrations down.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Just a tad stressed."

"Wanna talk about it?" She smiled and came up to wrap her arms around my neck.

"Maybe later." I kissed her forehead. "How'd you sleep"

"Good. I always sleep the best when I'm in your bed."

"You're welcomed in there anytime, pet." I smiled and ran my hand down her braid.

"You look like something is bother you" she frowned and fiddled with my hair.

"I'm alright. Why don't we go do something fun?" I kissed her cheek.

"Like what?"

"I'll take you shopping."

"I don't want you to spend your money on me" she shook her head.

"Well here I'll make a list of fun things we can do, and you can pick." I tapped her butt lightly before letting go of her. She let go and followed me to the room.

I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote down 4 things and handed it to her.
"I'm gonna shower, you pick. Then we can get dressed and go."

"Yes sir" she nodded.

"Oh and," I wrapped her ponytail around my hand and kissed her roughly. "My money is yours as well. Make a note not to tell me not to spend money on you."

"Y-yes sir" she flushed pink.

"Good girl."
