Unbroken

Chapter 23; Ian

Juliet’s p.o.v

I wasn’t going to lie…I could not stop thinking about Ian. Doll couldn’t stop talking about him either. I don’t think I am ready for a relationship…I was broken too many times. There was just something about him that made him different. Was I really ready to move on? Liam already has…but was I ready?

“What are you thinking about?” Doll asked walking into the kitchen.

“Nothing” I lied

“Are you thinking about Ian? God if you don’t get on that I will” She said curling her hair around her finger.

“I don’t think he would be interested in me anyways” I said walking towards the fridge. Why would he want to date me? A guy like him could do some much better.

“You are kidding me? He couldn’t keep his eyes off of you!” She nearly screamed.

“Let’s stop talking about boys.” I suggested. I was over the whole conversation.

“We aren’t talking about boys…we are talking about a man.” She countered.

“Okay but can we please talk about something else?”

“Fine” She whined.

“Let’s go out for lunch” I said before running upstairs to get ready. I  threw an old pair of jeans on, a Beetles t-shirt, and grabbed my combat boots before walking downstairs. Doll of course was dressed up. I threw my hair up and walked out of the door with Doll.

“Bear is driving us” I said walking to the Escalade.

Even in the car all Doll could talk about was Ian. I ignored her…I didn’t want to hear it. She was right…he was hot but, I just wasn’t interested in him…especially because he was an actor. They are just too good at lying in my opinion. We pulled into the parking lot and quickly hurried out but the paparazzi were already there.

“Juliet! Juliet!” They screamed. “Are you dating Ian Somerhalder?” Some screamed.

“Damn I swear it gets harder every time” Doll said once we were in the restaurant. “I guess they want you guys to date too” She giggled while elbowing me in the side.

“Calm down” I said rolling my eyes. She just kept going on and on about me and Ian, and how we would be perfect to each other. I loved her but she was losing it.

“Doll, please can we enjoy this meal without talking about Ian. He is a great hot guy, but I barely know him. Nothing is going to happen between him and I. I love you but please stop.” I begged.

“Okay, okay…sorry” She said taking a sip of her water.

After that, we actually enjoyed a meal without her talking about him…but sadly he was all I could think about. Why? What was so special about him? He was just another actor, wasn’t he? My mind wandered to the point that I wasn’t even paying attention to what Doll was saying.

He intrigued me, but why? I barely knew this…mystery man. I still had his jacket, maybe I could try to meet with him to give it back. I know that would be just an excuse to see him, but so what. In fact, who could blame me? I wasn’t going to lie, he was different then most guys and I definitely liked him.

After Doll left I chilled in watched some movies by myself. I had the rest of the week off to be by myself which I was going to enjoy.

My phone started to vibrate so I got up to answer it.

“Hello” I said answering the phone.

“Hi…is this Juliet?”
