Call it Fate, Call it Karma

B-Word

I heard the front door click, which made me jerk up and pull away from Julian's grip. I looked down at him and he was sleeping peacefully. I smiled and stopped to listen. I heard Albert talking...to Fab. Fab's here!

I gently shook Julian awake. "Jules, Albert and Fab are here!"

He yawned, closing his eyes again. "So..?"

"I don't wanna tell them just yet." I said.

"Tell them what?"

"Don't." I growled

A smirk tugged on his lips. "Say it."

"No, it's cheesy!"

"What don't you wanna tell 'em, Jade?" he asked, snuggling into my side.

"Ugh," I rolled my eyes. "...that you're my boyfriend."

"There it is." he smiled.

"Isn't it a bit too soon to be using labels, though." I said with a shrug of my shoulders. "Labels equal pressure, and pressure equals-"

"You're right. Okay, no labels just yet." he laughed softly. "I'll forget you said the B-word...for now."

"Thanks, Jules. Don't say anything to anyone else until I say so, okay?" I said as I stood up, walking over to the door.

"Yes, ma'am." Julian yawned again, pulling on a blanket.

"Get up, you lazy fuck."

"I'm still hungoverrrrr." he mumbled inaudibly. "I'm sleepy. Do you have to go?"

"I'll see you later." I watched him say nothing and lazily nod. "Don't sleep for too long or you won't sleep tonight." I waited for a response, but his breathing only grew heavier, signalling that he had fallen back asleep. I rolled my eyes and walked out into the living room.

"Hey, guys." I greeted Albert and Fab, who were sitting on the couch. Albert looked up at me with a menacing smirk and I mouthed at him to fuck off as I sat next to Fab.

"Where's Jules?" Fab asked.

"I think he's asleep."

"Did you tire him out?" Albert asked, making me choke at his subtle assumption. Asshole.

"He's hungover." I answered sternly.

Albert laughed. "I'm sure he is."

Fab was starting to look a bit skeptical as he watched Albert and I's snarky exchanges.

"Anyways!" I piped up. "Feel free to go wake him up, Fab. He's been sleeping all morning."

Fab nodded and left to go get Julian, leaving me with Albert.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I scolded him in a harsh whisper. "He almost caught on!"

"Caught on to what?" Albert asked. "Did you actually go through with it?"

"I'm not telling you now." I said, crossing my arms as I looked away from him. "You've pissed me off."

Fab walked out into the kitchen. "He's dead asleep." he laughed to himself as he raided our fridge.

Albert leaned over to me to whisper. "You must've fucked him goooood!"

I punched his arm quite hard with a scowl and laughed as he uttered numerous curse words to himself, rubbing his arm.
