True love

II

Sinead

I woke up to the sun gleaming on my face. I sighed then stretched my limbs before sitting up. Last night was the best sleep I've had in months. I swear sleeping in Julian's arms has to be my most favorite thing ever. I climbed out of bed and made my way downstairs. Once I reached the bottom, the smell of pancakes punched me in my face. Oh he's cooking.

I walked into kitchen and saw him jamming out to Harry Styles. He's the absolute cutest. "Good morning!" I announced as I sat on the barstool. He looked over and smiled at me. I could look at that smile all day. I'm so in love with you. I wish he'd just ask me to be his wife and this'll be our life everyday. Well with our bundle of joy of course.

He came over and kissed me. "Good morning to my beautiful girls." He smiled then kissed my belly. Oh my god, I could die right now. That was the cutest thing ever.

He turned the music down then went back to scrambling the eggs. "What do you have planned for today?" He asked glancing over at me.

"I'm getting lunch with Jesse then we're gonna do a little bit of shopping for the baby." I said smiling at the thought of spending the day with my best friend. I watched as his body tensed up then he took a deep breath. He and Jesse still have this animosity between each other that I hate. I'm stuck in the middle of it and have been since high school.

I've tried to get them to talk or at least acknowledge each other but that doesn't work. I'm afraid if I put them in the same room with each other, a fight will break out. God knows I don't want to experience that whatsoever.

"Just the two of you?" He asked.

"Yes babe, and you know that we're only friends.. There's no need to worry about anything."

He just nodded and didn't say a single word after that. After he finished cooking, he handed me my plate then left the kitchen. He's upset. He always gets this way when Jesse is brought up. I don't get why though. He's the one who has me. I'm in love with Julian, having a kid with Julian.

I ate silently then washed my dish. I walked back into the room to see Julian getting dressed for work. "Babe." I said wrapping my arms around his waist. I rested my head on his back as he finished buttoning his shirt.

"Sinead you know he's in love with you and the fact you still hang around him is so disrespectful to me." He said pushing my arms off of him. Here he go. I don't want to have this argument with him.

"Julian, he's never disrespected you nor our relationship... baby stop overthinking everything." I sighed sitting on the bed. We have this talk like once a month, I'm so fucking tired of repeating myself. He just shook his head and grabbed his jacket.

"I love you." He said then kissed my cheek. I nodded and he walked out. If you're doing right by me, why are you so worried that I'm gonna get with Jesse? This is so weird.

"Jesse!" I exclaimed as I walked out of the just. I power walked over to him and gave him a huge hug. My best friend, he's been there for me through everything I've ever went through. When Julian and I broke up last year, he flew out to comfort me. He was on the phone when I took a pregnancy test on Valentine's day. Everything.

"Hey bugs! Fat ass." He chuckled hugging me back.

"I missed you." I smiled as we pulled away. He smiled at me then told me he missed me more than words could ever explain. You're so dramatic. We got into his car and he pulled off.

"How was your trip back?" He asked as we got on the road.

"It was so long, but it was worth it... I'm happy to back, everything just feels so good."
