The Little Jenna Julien Things

Making Memories- Chapter 2

[Julien's POV]

"Hey otter?" Jenna wakes me up to ask me in the middle of the f**king night. I roll over after the third "otter?" to see her, teary eyed, staring through me. "Are you okay baby?" I ask her immediately. She could barely choke out "I had a bad dream" before tears quickly streamed down her cheeks. I flicked on the lamp beside me and sat up. She cuddled right into my armpit and asked what time it was. "Just past 3:30". I hate to see Jenna like this, all puffy-eyed and sad. I use a tissue to wipe away the moisture on her face. "What was the dream about?" ... no response. "Can you just hold me?" I pull up the covers and turn the light back off. I kiss her forehead. "I love you otter."

I wake up four hours later, and Jenna is in the same position she was in when she snuggled into me last night. Marbles, Kermit, and Peach are in their beds, still fast asleep. Silently, I move Jenna over and slip out of the room without her or the dogs waking. Once I'm downstairs, I call the Debbie Machine and ask if she could come visit for a couple days (without telling Jenna). For the past week she has been in a funk I can't get her out of. I think she needs a distraction from the continuous work we've been doing. Actually, I think I'm going to surprise Jenna instead.

I wake up feeling icky. It's half past nine now, and I'm sure Julien's been up for atleast two hours already. I stretch and get up, Mr. Marble and Cermit at my feet and princess Paesh is jumping on my legs. My mom is going back home today, so I'm sad. We had a great time together, and I have to say Julien is the best boyfriend I could ask for. He planned for her to come stay with us for a week, and we hung out practically the whole time. I smirk and open our bedroom door when I hear Julien consulting vloggie about a 'plan' he was about to execute. Warm air floods in and I smell whatever otter's been cooking. "Baby?" Julien calls out for me. He must have heard the dogs' collars jingle when they walked out. "Julien?" I walk to the banister and look down to see him standing in the living room holding a tray with waffles, blueberries, vegan bacon, and OJ. My face lights up when he walks up the stairs toward me. Julien nods back over to our room and I sit on the bed. He places the tray on the bed beside me and sits in the armchair across from me. He never turned vloggie off, instead just put his camera on the dresser next to him. We stare at each other for a solid thirty seconds when he says "I have something to tell you" "Okay..." I respond, chuckling a little. "We've been to all over the U.S.A., Australia, Egypt, Panama, Mexico, Bora Bora, and countless other places, but what's in your top three places to go that we've never been to before?" Shivers run down my spine as I get way too excited.

[Julien's POV]

"Japan??!!" Jenna yells, her hand clasped over her mouth. "Are you kidding? We are not  going to Japan!?" The dogs are jumping all over and Debbie Machine is standing in the doorway looking at me. I slowly nod. Jenna pops up and squeals a little. "Hell no! I have to pee!" She runs past me to our bathroom. Debbie laughs, silently congratulating me for being a good boyfriend.

"So wait... when are we going? For how long?" She barrades me with questions. "We're going in May, four months from now. We're staying at three different four star resorts for a week each." There goes Jenna, squealing again. We just ate dinner and Debbie left three hours ago. Ever since we said goodbye, Jenna has been non-stop freaking out. "I'm glad you're excited otter!" I hold her hands and ask if she'll walk with me. We get our shoes and coats on and take a nice long walk past our local ice cream store, through the closing dog park, and down to a quiet lake almost five blocks away from our house. I grab Jenna's hand and guide her to a wooden bench. "Why are we here, Julien?" She asks me, taking her sunglasses off to reveal her beautiful hazel eyes. "Because I love you." I don't actually know why we're here. She looks at me, confused. The sun is setting now, and Jenna rests her head on my shoulder.

[Jenna's POV]

It's so beautiful out here. Julien has bee extra lovey dovey recently, and I don't know how much more I can take. I can't look at him the same anymore. I can't keep a secret from him.
