Unbroken

Chapter 24; Ignite

Juliet’s p.o.v

“Come in” Ian yelled from the other side of the door. I opened the door and walked inside shutting the door behind me. We have been hanging out for the past few weeks and getting to know each other. It has been interesting…he wasn’t anything like I thought he would be. I have actually opened up to him and I have never really opened up to anyone.

“Hey” I said walking into his kitchen where he was at.

“Hey” He looked up and smiled. “Make yourself at home, the food will be done shortly” He said with a smile.

“Can’t wait, I’m so hungry” I laughed.

“It will be worth the wait.” He said. I sat down at the counter top stool and watched him cook the food.

“How was your day?” He asked after placing the food into the oven.

“Good and long! I had a photo shoot then a press conference about my album.”

“That sounds fun! The album comes out tomorrow?” He asked.

“Yeah, I am having an album releasing party tomorrow night; you can come if you want.” I said with a smile. I was really hoping he would.

“Hmmm” He said walking towards me. “I would love to, I just don’t have a date” he said with a mischievous look on his face.

“Hmmm, that sucks” I mumbled. “I think, I actually have this really hot date so I can’t help you out.” I said trying not to smile.

“He sounds like a lucky guy” He said. He was now standing in between my legs with his hands on the back of the stool.

“Yeah, he gets the pleasure of making me laugh, a lot.” I smiled.

“Oh, really?” He questioned raising an eyebrow.

“Yeah, really” I said back. He started moving lower and lower towards my face, our lips were now only an inch away from each others. Just when I thought he was going to kiss me he grabbed my waist and threw me over his shoulder. “AH!” I screamed. He started walking towards the pool in the back of the house.

“NO!” I screamed trying to get out of his grip, know what he was about to do.

“I figured that your hot date wouldn’t want you to kiss other guys behind his back. So now I am going to throw you into the pool…unless you want to admit that you don’t actually have a hot date for the party” He said. He was now standing in the perfect spot to throw me into the pool.

“No!” I screamed. I was half laughing, and half almost crying from laughing to hard. I tried to wiggle my way out of his grip, but he was way to strong. His hand was right under my butt, I could feel the fire in my stomach.

“What was that? Do I need to throw you in the pool?” He asked leaning me closer and closer to the water. 

“Please, put me down!” I begged.

“Not until you admit it!” He said starting to tickle me.

“Okay! I don’t have a date.” I screamed.

“You sure?” He asked leaning closer.

“I am sure!” I said gasping for air.

“That’s what I thought” He said placing me on my feet. I stuck out my tongue and started running, although I didn’t get far before he grabbed me by my waist again.

“Ah!” I screamed while laughing at the same time. He started tickling my waist making me fall to the ground laughing.

“Don’t you need a date to your own party?” He asked towering over me.

“Yes” I mumbled trying not to laugh.

“Too bad” he said and walked away.

“Butt head” I screamed at him as I got off the ground.

“What was that?” He said turning around, the look on his face said it all. I could tell that he was trying not to laugh.

“Nothing” I said walking past him.

“Because of that, I am really not going with you” He said walking back into the kitchen. “It’s too bad; I actually was looking forward to going.”

“Ian!” I whined.

“Nope. You need a date, you go find one” He said turning around. 

“Please” I begged.

“Please what?” He asked rasing his eye brows. 

I sighed. He was really going to make me beg. “Please be my date?” I asked walking towards him.

“I would love too” He said placing his hand on his heart. I just rolled my eyes and walked away.

“Was that really so hard?” He asked raising his eye brow.

“Well, Bear can pick you up and drive you to the hotel. I will be at the hotel getting ready. From there we will go to the club” I said looking at the schedule on my phone.

“What time will he pick me up?” He asked.

“The hotel is an hour away, so at 4 o’clock. You can bring your change of clothes and whatever else you will need with you. The party starts at 9 o’clock, but we are eating dinner at The Palm at 7, then we are getting ready for the party” 

“Sounds like a busy night” He said looking at me.

“Yeah…I have to walk the carpet outside of the club, paparazzi will be everywhere”

“So it’s like a big premiere.” 

“Pretty much” I nodded my head.

“Am I walking the carpet with you?”

“Only if you want too. I didn’t know you would even go with me, so I didn’t really think that far into it.”

“Why would you think I wouldn’t go with you?” He started walking closer towards me. 

“I don’t know” I mumbled. He walked towards me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

“Do you not know how I feel about you? I really like you, I like making you laugh and seeing your smile. You are so beautiful, smart, talented, amazing, down to earth, and very special to me” He said kissing my cheek.

“I have so enjoyed getting to know you over the past few weeks.” He mumbled before kissing my lips softly. I kissed back, I wasn’t sure what it was about this kiss that was special, he just made me feel special and…loved. I knew I wasn’t in love with him…but I felt loved by him.

“Will you be my girlfriend? I want to get to know you more and I want to be around you more. Please say yes.” He whispered. I was taken back, he really wanted to be with me.

“Yes, I would love too” I said smiling. He leaned down and kissed me again this time it was more passionate more igniting.

“I can’t wait to show you off tomorrow night” He said after our lips parted.

“Oh really?”

“Yes really” I couldn’t help but smile.
