Tom's POV
Bloody hell.
That was not what I expected. I just did that. I did it without thinking. It was just in the spur of the moment. I did it. I kissed her without asking for permission. God,I feel like an arse. But,she smiled. So I guess that's a good sign. I have absolutely no idea what's next. Maybe she thought that was a one time thing.
Should I call her?
Should I wait a week? A day?
What the hell do I do?
Julia's POV
All I did was smile. I mean,what else am I suppose to say? I was suppose to stay away from him. My initial plan was to keep a safe distance between Tom and I. But what did he do? He kissed me. And what did I do? I kissed him back. Not that I didn't enjoy it.
"Julia Sanderson,you never cease to amaze me." She laughed.
"Why are you still in your pj's?" I asked,dropping my set of keys onto the kitchen counter.
"Uh-uh. I know what you're trying to do. Don't even try to get out of this."
I was about to say something, say that she's right, until I noticed a man on the couch watching TV, I didn't recognize the man from the back. Bewildered,I almost asked Marie who he was until I saw another guy who looked liked he was passed out on the kitchen stool. Then someone called my name,bringing me out of the pool of confusion that I was in.
"Julia?" A gentle feminine voice called out, my eyes searched for the voice. I saw none other than Annie. I haven't seen her for maybe two years? I'm not quite sure. She held her arms out with a big welcoming expression. "Oh,it's been ages since we last seen each other."
"Oh my goodness,Annie. What are you doing here?" I questioned after our hug.
"Just a quick little spontaneous trip. Thought I'd come alone but Théo wanted to visit as well." Her eyes trailed over to the man on the couch who I now recognize. The man,Théo heard his name being mentioned so he turned his head to look over.
"Hey,little Julia." His French accent immediately came swooshing in.
He stood up and took me in a hug. I looked at Marie with questions in my eyes. She chuckled and gave me a shrug. "It really has been ages,hasn't it?" I said. "But who is that?"
Marie looked to where I was pointing at and rolled her eyes but then a small smile crept onto her lips. "It's John."
"The poor guy got himself in a sticky situation." Théo said with his arms crossed over his chest,shaking his head. "But he is a brave one."
I suddenly remembered what Howard had said not too long ago about John being in here. "May I ask what caused him to get involved?"
Marie rolled her eyes. "You know who came uninvited and thought that I was going to come back to him. That's not even the worst part."
"What else did he do?" My eyes bulged.
"He had the nerve to come with the girl I caught him snogging." Marie said angrily. "What makes him think that he can come waltzing in and then get into a fight with John? I mean,I think he's far worst than Ben."
"What the hell? He brought the girl with him? He's definitely worst than Ben." I gave a look of disgust.
"Hold on,hold on. Wait a minute,what happened between you and Steven? He was such a sweetheart the last time I was here." Annie said not believing any of this.
"He is so not a sweetheart! He's definitely not a sweetheart. He's something beyond that. He doesn't deserve to be called a sweetheart. He's no good. He can kiss my arse for all I care-" Marie began ranting until I cut her off.
