Chapter 15: Girls Like That, Right?
Little did Julia know, that by the time she got out of the shower and got dressed in a pair of my gym shorts and my t-shirt, that I had stuck the brownies in the oven, put in The Hangover, had lit some candles, and was sprawled across my couch with the lights dimmed down. Girls like that, right?
She walked in, still towel drying her hair, and froze when she saw me. "Ummm. Hi?" I smiled and patted the couch in between where my legs were sprawled. "Have a seat, Jules." "Alright, then." She sat down awkwardly and looked at me. "Is there a reason you're raping me with your eyes?" she asked me, shifting on the couch. "There's nothing wrong with thinking of doing bad things to other people while in the shower," I said, pulling her back so she was leaning against my chest, her legs tangled with mine. She giggled.
"So that's why Little McCann came out to play," she said. "Cause Jason was thinking bad thoughts. I get it now." I immediately sat up and checked the front of my pants, looking for the boner I hoped wasn't too obvious. Except, it wasn't there. "Really? False boner alarm? You suck." "I wish," she said, looking at her fingernails. "Too bad that wouldn't be very lady like to actually suck."
"Again with the innuendoes," I mumbled, reaching for the remote and hitting play. She giggled before settling deeper into my arms, sliding her hands across my chest and laying her head against my shoulder. I moved her hair softly away from her face, tucking it gently behind her ear, planting a tender kiss on her forehead.
It was sweet, kind of...actually, kind of romantic and not get-in-my-pants sexual. I liked it. I liked the way her eyes met mine every time a really funny came up and we'd laugh together, my deep laugh contrasting with her light one, her beautiful brown eyes light and worry free. I loved the way she snuggled closer to me when ever one of us would move, like she couldn't get close enough to me.
By the time the end credits were rolling across the screen, we were both asleep, both completely content in each others arms.
