I woke up to the feeling of Julian's arm draped over my waist, causing me to smile. Last night was the best night of my life.
I looked to the time, 9 AM, then turning to look at Julian. He looked so peaceful while he slept. I moved his hair behind his ear, then slowly moving his hand off of my waist to get out of bed. Thankfully, he didn't wake up. I made my way out of the bedroom and down the hall to the living room. Simone probably went home with Nick last night, since they seemed to be having such a great time the night before.
I walked into the kitchen, opening the fridge and getting out a carton of eggs. Suddenly, I felt hands wrap around my waist. I immediately got butterflies when I turned around to see Julian there. He smiled down at me, then leaning in and planting his lips on mine. I returned the kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Good morning." he said as he pulled away from the kiss.
"Morning. How'd you sleep?"
"Fucking amazing." he said, then leaning in next to my ear, interlocking our fingers "You have no idea how long I've been waiting to do that."
My heart started beating rapidly when he said that as I felt his lips reach my neck, our fingers still interlocked. He pushed me against the counter, grabbing me by the waist and propping me on top of it. I ran my fingers through his hair, trying not to moan. The feeling of him between my legs made me want him all over again.
"I love you." I blurted out, which caused him to pause for a moment. I thought I had fucked up, immediately wishing I had just shut up.
He buried his face in my neck, now pulling me closer by my waist on the counter. He looked at me, smiling as he kissed me again.
"I love you." he said.
I smiled back at him, then looking down and deciding whether or not I should say something else.
"What's wrong?"
And that's when I decided to just say it.
"What are we?"
He looked at me, a sad expression forming on his face. And then he said it.
"I want to be more than what we are now."
"Then why can't we?" I asked.
"I..." he put his head down. "I just don't want to hurt you."
I grabbed the sides of his face, him looking up at me again. "Don't worry about that."
He smirked, leaning his head up to look at me again.
"So, Jade Iris Gentles. Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Of course." he leaned forward, putting his lips against mine. He smiled against them for a second, then planting a kiss.
"I think we should go out for breakfast." he said, grabbing the carton of eggs from behind me and putting them back in the fridge.
"What do you have in mind?"
He shrugged, then leaning against the fridge in deep thought.
"What about.. Denny's?"
I nodded, getting down from the counter. "I'll go get ready." I said, walking off into the bedroom. I figured I could just take him home after I got ready so he could get dressed.
After I finished getting dressed, I came back into the living room to an already dressed Julian. I must have taken a long time.
"What in the fuck?" I said, "When did you change?"
