As I woke up from the best sleep, I'd had in ages. I saw a ray of light streaming through the curtains held in a beautiful morning.

Jules was sleeping on the bed right next to my sofa. She was snoring softly and that enduring sound that made me smile.

How the hell could she look so pretty, even when she was sleeping?

Her hair was splayed out on the pillow, a few strands falling across her face, which had a peaceful almost angelic expression. I watched her for a minute marvelling at how beautiful she looked completely different from the worried, anxious person she'd been the night before.

I walked after the bed and reached out gently taking a stray lock of hair behind her ear. Careful not to wake her. She stirred slightly murmuring something and then settled back into a deep sleep.

As I lay there, watching her, I could hear my heart pound. She had that effect on me. I could always feel my pulse getting quicker by just being in her presence. I couldnt really explain why that happened. I'd never felt this way about anyone. EVER.

Just then i noticed a tattoo on her arm. Funny how I hadn't seen it before.

It said "Leo"

I clenched my jaw

I clenched my jaw. My mind immediately began to race.

Who the hell was Leo? Was he her boyfriend? Why did she have his name tattooed on her?

And why the hell did I care about who he was? Did I have feelings for her? No, I couldn't. She was Max's sister. But as I looked at her peaceful sleeping form, I couldn't deny the way she made me feel. She made me feel things I hadn't felt in a long time - things, I wasn't sure I was ready to admit to myself.

I hated how easily she had gotten under my skin, making me laugh, making me care more deeply than I wanted to admit.

Just then there was a heavy knock at the door. So loud, it woke jules startling her. I quickly moved to open it without even looking through the peep hole, and there stood Max, looking furious.

Before I could react, he swung and punched me.

"You liar!" he shouted. "I trusted you."

"What the hell is this?" He said showing me an article on his phone as he walked in the room.
