Sunkissed Serendipity

Chapter 51

Isla

Julian and I have been doing well the last week. We have been hanging out at his house and talking on the phone a lot more than we usually do. It's been such a nice time, one that I have been nonstop grinning about.

Julian finds me in the living room, as he usually does, and glances at where his brother was watching his show again. We had been playing together a moment earlier, but he had gotten bored of that and wanted to finish watching his show. I had just sat back and given him his own space.

Julian walks over to me and says, "Hi."

"Hey," I answer, and he chuckles, holding out a hand to me. I take it, and he brings me up to stand with him. Turning his attention to his brother, he says, "I'll just be taking Isla to my room now."

"Sure," Jack answers, uninterested in his brother's whereabouts. I bite down on my bottom lip as Julian gives his eyebrow a look. He then shrugs and leads the both of us out of the living room and toward the stairs. I've been to Julian's room for a while now, so when we walk up to his room, I'm not shy about being in there. I stand in the middle of his room as he pulls his door to a close.

Turning back to me, he smiles as his eyes roam my body. It's weird how flustered I get with the way his eyes take in my body. From the tight-fitting baby tee I was wearing to where my skirt stops at my thigh, His eyes move back to my face, where he says, "Hey, you look very nice today."

I feel myself flustered to my toes at his compliment, and with a roll of my eyes, I say, "Yeah, you tell me often."

"Because it's true," he says with a smile, and he walks closer to me. He places a hand on my waist, another sliding along my arm as he looks down at me. He doesn't say anything, but his eyes hold a lot of words in them as they twinkle in glee. I only feel a smile forming on my face as I tilt my head up and place our lips together. He grins against my lips, and I sigh into his mouth. I look forward to these moments, to the ones where we get to steal a little bit of time away from everyone.

He pulls my body in closer with his hand on my waist, and his hand goes to cup my face. I place my hands over his shoulder and stand up on my tiptoes to get into a good position. Our kiss is soft; time is not a problem for us. He leans away and then presses kisses on my lips quickly, making me giggle. He only grins at me, a lightness in his eyes as he continues to pepper my face with kisses. I place my hands on his chest, and he only holds me at the waist tighter as he moves backward.

Soon, he takes a seat on the bed, dragging me with him. My legs go over his own, and before I can even get properly situated, he grabs me for another kiss. My heart is full of happiness now, and I am very gleeful at how easy and nice it was between us. But as his hand slides into my hair and his lips move against mine in a dominating way, I feel myself slipping beneath the kiss.

I'm thinking too hard, and in a second, Julian is the only one kissing. He ducks his head, tilting it to get good access, and it's the fact that he cannot that gets him to realize that I've stopped kissing. He pulls away quickly, looking up at me in a concerned way.

He places his hands up where I can see them and says, "Fuck. Did I hurt you?" Promptly, he moves back against his bed, his shoulder hitting the wall and our legs untangling. "I uh," I can see the confusion on his face and yet also the worry he holds for me. I can see here that he doesn't want to hurt me in any way, so it doesn't make sense to me.

His eyebrows pull together as he swallows and says, "I'm sorry, I was so... so eager there."

I hold up a hand, and I watch as he swallows at that too. Moving forward on the bed, I take a seat next to him. Planting my back against the wall, I look forward at his closed door and take a deep breath in. I don't say anything for a long time, so Julian ducks his head. I see his hair (that was rather messed up at this point) as he says, "Did I do something wrong, Isla? If I did, I'd like to know."
