Touring With The Strokes (editing + updating)

Perfect Surprises

Regina walks over to the table, "This is all your fault you know?" she screams at me now.

I look around at the guys, who look shocked and not sure what to do.

"You little bitch, what the fuck did you do with my boyfriend? " Regina screams, attracting attention.

"Regina! Shut the fuck up and leave her alone, she's not the problem, and I'm not your boyfriend-

Before Julian can finish his sentence, Regina punches him right in the eye.

"Holy Fuck!" Albert yells, as he gets up with Fab to get Regina out of the place.

"Julian, are you okay?" I say, as I stand up and examine his eye.

"I'm alright." Julian says, as he struggles to stand up.

"Guys, I'm going to bring Julian home." I say, to Nick and Nikolai, who are watching everything.

I help Julian walk as he clutches onto my waist.

"Fuck, I'm so sorry, Julian." I say, as I help him walk to my apartment down the street.

"Baby" he slurs, "it's not your fault." he explains.

We get to my apartment and I lug him up the stairs and to my door.

As soon as we get in, I bring him into the kitchen, and sit him down on one of the stools.

I grab a cloth full of ice and put it on his swollen eye.

He winces because of the pain, "I'm sorry." I say, as I look at him lovingly and protectingly. I lightly caress his face with my hand, and wipe away some of his bangs to get a clearer view of his face. 

"Are you okay?" I ask.

"I'm fine, Gia. Regina's a real bitch and I didn't like her attacking you like that when you did nothing wrong." Julian explains.

I smile, "Thanks, but I did kinda sleep with you, while you two were together."

He smiles, "well, it's all over with. I don't want to be with Regina, I want to be with you."

He gulps, "I- uh I love you."

"I love you too. I love you, Julian Casablancas." I say confidently, as he laughs through his nose.

"Does this mean it's official?" He asks, cocking an eyebrow.

"I think so." I say, letting out a laugh.

I bend down and kiss his soft lips.

"but can we take it slow? I know we had sex before we were a thing, but it was such a struggle to get where we are now, I don't want to mess it up." I explain, as I rest on his lap, and rest my arms on his shoulders.

Julian nods, and let's out a small giggle.

"What?"

"You know that one night when you were drunk and I told you that you said stuff that night to me?" Julian explains, with a huge grin on his face.
