**HEY!! I'm sorry I took so long to update this story, this chapter may be a bit short and not as good as the others. I've been busy, and unmotivated to write lately. But I figured I may as well give you guys something<33
It had now been over a month since Julian and I had last seen Simone. She'd tried to reach out to Julian a few times before, but he'd simply declined the call and gone on with his day ignoring her. Our relationship had honestly gotten even better since Simone had left; we rarely got into arguments, and when we did they were small ones. But there was one issue— Julian's work.
He had recently been getting more into his music career, recording music nearly all of the time with the band. He'd come home mostly every night exhausted. Sometimes, he'd end up falling asleep at Nick's rather than coming home to me like he often did. But it wasn't his fault.
"We should go somewhere tonight." Julian interrupted my thoughts, as my face was buried in his chest. He was holding onto me, tracing his index finger along the length of my arm slowly as we sat in the silence of my bedroom, the light shining dimly over the both of us.
"Like, a date?" I propped myself up on my elbow, looking to him with a soft smile spread across my face. Honestly, I didn't really want to go out tonight. But I'm sure he could tell by the way I asked.
"I mean, I was just thinking of going to the bar or something. Just hanging out and letting loose."
I laid my head back on his chest. "Or.. maybe I could go run by the store and get us some alcohol. We can just drink here and watch a movie or something."
I didn't really feel like going to a bar or anything. It felt like a lot of extra effort with ID's and shit just to get something you could get at any liquor store. I look up at him again, feeling his chest rise for a moment as he laughed a bit.
"I like the way you think." he smirked, leaning forward a bit and kissing me softly on the lips. "What movie?" he mumbled against my lips, then placing his on mine once more.
"You pick."
He smiled, raising his eyebrow in confusion, now pulling away and hovering inches away from my face.
"You know I don't like movies. You pick."
I groaned, leaning back onto the bed again. I hated being the one to make the ultimate choice when it came to things like this, although I was the only one of us who actually enjoyed them. "I don't know, A Nightmare on Elm Street?" I recommended, excitement rising inside of me as I sat up, crossing my legs on the bed and facing him, still lying on the mattress.
A Nightmare on Elm Street was a classic. My favorite movie, ever. Anyone who liked the horror genre and didn't like that movie was insane.
"Sure." he smiled, sitting up now as well, right across from me. Our faces were inches apart, and he reached his hand forward, placing it on my neck and pulling me closer to him, our foreheads touching. Even though our entire relationship had been physical, the feeling of his skin on mine felt like electricity running throughout my body. I couldn't get enough of that feeling; and there was certainly no avoiding it.
I closed my eyes, leaning forward and kissing him softly, holding his hand in mine.
"Do you wanna go by the liquor store right now?" he asked, interrupting the silence that only lasted a few moments after we kissed.
"Mhm. You can just stay here, I'll be right back."
"I'll set up the couch." he grinned. He always set the couch with blankets and pillows when we had movie nights, since we'd be up on each other the entire time anyway.
I laughed, groaning as I got out of bed, every stiffened bone in my body popping as I moved. There was no need for me to get ready, so I quickly slipped on my converse and grabbed my keys and money, turning to Julian.
"I'll be right back."
•••
I came back from the liquor store around twenty minutes later, unlocking the door and kicking it closed. After placing the bag on the counter, I looked into the living room to see Julian looking up to me with a smirk from the living room couch. It had been already set up, as expected. The movie was also on, ready to play.
"Wow, look at you, being all useful." I joked, taking the bottles of alcohol out of the paper bag, placing them both next to each other on the countertop.
"Shut up."
He made his way into the kitchen, grabbing us glasses and grabbing my hand with his free one. I was now holding the alcohol, nearly dropping a bottle as he lead me into the living room, placing the glasses on the table.
We both sat down and I opened the bottle of vodka I was still holding, pouring it slowly into both of the glasses, then handing him one.
"Thank you." he smiled, immediately taking a sip from the glass. Julian drank a lot, and because of that, the taste had no effect on him. He didn't need anything to add to it, he'd drink it straight out of the bottle without making a face. It worried me sometimes how much he would drink, but it wasn't my place to get upset with him for it. I'd only buy us alcohol if it was for the both of us on a movie night or something. Like tonight.
I sipped on the liquor, wincing a bit at the taste as I put the glass back on the table. Alcohol wasn't really my thing. Suddenly, Julian placed his alcohol on the table as well, patting his lap lightly motioning for me to lay my head in it. I chuckled, doing so.
"I feel like we haven't really been able to do much together lately." I said, keeping my eyes on the screen.
"I know, sweetheart.." he said, running his fingers through my hair with a sigh. "I know. It's just been really difficult lately. Y'know... the band. It's really hard to make time for anything else at the moment."
"I understand. It's just difficult.. knowing tomorrow you're gonna have to leave again. We probably won't get to have another moment like this for awhile."
He paused what he was doing, then continuing after a few moments of silence.
"We're almost done with the album. Then we'll be able to do more together, okay?"
I only nodded, blankly staring ahead at the television. Part of me knew what he was telling me was just a lie; the album wasn't anywhere near done. He just wanted to satisfy me.
I shook it off though, sitting up next to him on the sofa as I rested my chin on his shoulder, looking up at him.
He looked over at me, a smirk spreading across his face as he kissed me softly before pulling away and going in for another one, this one lasting longer than the first. He moved his hand around my waist and pulled me onto his lap, and I immediately felt it. He was hard.
"What about the movie?" I teased, whispering in his ear, which only caused his grip on my hips to get tighter.
"Fuck the movie, it can wait." he said with a smirk.
I only laughed lightly, then feeling his grip tighten again at my hips.
***YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED NEXT (don't wanna write smut rn😓)
