S.L.U.T- Bea Miller
R.I.P 2 my youth- The Neighborhood
*Julian's Pov*
"who the hell are you?" i raise my voice to the insanely gorgeous man on the opposite side of jades door. i hide the present behind my back and narrow my eyes at this god of a man.
"i could ask you the same question." he glares at me and i huff.
"Julian Barley, the number one singer in America right now..and Europe." i hold out my hand and he grabs it, gripping it a tad too tight.
"Elijah Haddad, Jades ex...fiance." my face burns and i violently shake his hand, forcing a smile. my eyes slowly scroll on his outfit, if you can even call him that. hes shirtless, abs gleaming in the orange light of the apartment hallway, and flannel pajama pants, his hair is a mess. why is he half naked?
"fiance?" i drop his hand an squish my eyebrows together. she never mentioned a fiance? ex or not.
"yup." i nod, rocking back and forth on my heels. i don't really consider myself to be very jealous, besides this moment. "is that.. a gift?" he points to the green box behind my back and i gulp.
"for Jade, yeah." he makes an 'oh' with his mouth and i slowly pull it from behind my back, holding it in front of me now. i turn to leave, not wanting to interact with this 'Elijah' guy any longer, but he calls out to me before i can take two steps.
"are you gonna give it to her..?" he says, almost mocking me. i turn around slowly and shove it on his tan chest.
"you can do the honors." i sarcastically smile and turn to walk away. i hear footsteps on a tile floor, a door slam shut, and yelling. i reach the elevator and quickly walk inside once i hear footsteps running down the hallway.
"Julian! Julian wait!" i see her hand block the doors from closing and i scoff. "let me explain." Jade walks inside and catches her breath.
"alright, do tell me why you didn't think to explain you had a fucking fiance?" i snap at her.
"he's not my fiance." she retorts, cocking her head to the side.
"i don't believe you." she crosses her arms and i lean against the wall, she reaches over and presses a button to stop the elevator.
"he's my ex, he tried to win me back or something and i rejected him. i would never cheat.. especially with you." i stare into her eyes, looking for any source of a lie.
"how am i supposed to believe nothings happening with you two when you sleep with your fucking boss and the next day a shirtless ex shows up at your door." i raise my voice a bit, flinging my hand in the air. her mouth opens a bit, her eyes narrowing at me.
"what are you insinuating?" her voice is stern.
"nothing." i say innocently, she rolls her eyes and looks away. "just that a pretty girl like you would have no trouble sleeping around.." her eyes dart back to look at me, what used to be blue are now dark. her hands are balled into fists and her lips are pursed, a smirk is playing at my lips.
"what the fuck did you just say to me?" she yells and i shrug. "we're not leaving this elevator till you stop being a fucking spoiled brat." i chuckle, shaking my head.
"you are so petty Jade." i stare at her, a smile on my lips. she widens her eyes, somehow getting redder. no matter how enraged i am at her, i always smile in her presence.
"damn right I'm pretty." she confidently says, changing her posture and a smirk on her lips. i can't help but burst out laughing, she raises an eyebrow at me and i try to catch my breath.
"i said petty dip shit." her face drops and she stares at me.
"oh." she quietly says. it's moments like these that all i want to do is kiss her gorgeous face, anyways..
"you're still an asshole! stop distracting me." she whines and i chuckle again. she glares and i put my hands up in surrender.
"okay, okay I'm done." she continues.
"why do you have such a problem with me?" she returns to her infuriated face, yelling again.
"you think you can run that pretty little mouth of yours whenever you want and I'm fucking sick of you!" i yell back.
"bite me." she steps closer to me and glares at me.
"okay." i step closer also, feeling her hot breath on my lips. I've never had to have more self control then right now.
"yell at me one more time and I'll give you a real reason to scream Julian." i scoff, subconsciously drifting closer to her.
"your telling me to stop yelling? you screamed first! dear god why haven't i fired you yet.." she licks her lips, almost teasing me.
"i wonder the same thing." i open my mouth, feeling speechless at the proximity between us. "why the fuck does it matter so much to you?!" she crosses her arms against her chest. i freeze, why does it matter so much to me?
"because i-" i catch myself, take a deep breath, and look back down at the ground. "it doesn't matter, i don't care anymore." her face drops and she almost looks..sad.
silently cursing our situation, i move closer to her until our chests our touching. keeping eye contact with her, i reach behind us and push the button again, opening the elevator doors to a crowd of people around the elevator. i move around her, causing her to twirl around and her hair falling in her face. i want to brush it behind her ears but i know i can't. i walk backwards through the crowd and purse my lips together.
"bye Jade." i call over the crowd of people talking. she rubs her elbow, i see her biting the inside of the cheek. i turn around and storm out into the crisp November air..this has been the worst week of my life and i have a suspicion it's about to get worse.
