AN: Here's another one! Please tell me what you think!!! Don't forget to VOTE.
"You need to go back there and talk to him,"Gisele said as she started folding the boys clothes. Gisele and Tom have people come in and clean their house, but Gisele still does all the laundry. I grabbed a pair of pants and started folding trying to delay answering her.
"Why, can't it wait until tomorrow?"I took a sip of the margarita Tom made me and chewed on my lip. I wondered if Julian had cancelled dinner or if he had our parents over and made up an excuse for why I wasn't there. Or worse, he told them the real reason I left.
"Because if you start going to bed angry now it's going to be a hard habit to break. You guys don't want to ever go to bed angry, that's one thing I have learned being married to Tom."I knew Gisele was right, but I still didn't want to go home and face Julian.
"I just don't want to go home to more arguing. I hate fighting with him,"I glanced at my phone again seeing no new messages.
"That's a good sign. That means that you don't want to just throw in the towel,"I nodded my head downing my margarita and then standing up,"I am going home."
I went to grab my keys before Gisele stopped me,"You are not driving home drunk. Either Tom can drive you or you can call a cab. Julian would never forgive me if something happened to you." I sighed and went to find Tom to drive me home.
"Thanks for the driving me,"I yelled to Tom as I got out of his truck and walked to the door. Really it wasn't walking it was dragging my feet trying to delay the inevitable. Once I finally got to the door I went through my purse to get my keys. Then I realized that the pair of keys Julian unlocked the door with earlier today were mine. I hesitantly knocked on the door not knowing who would open it.
Julian opened the door shirtless with his hair all messy. He probably just got out of bed, even thought it was only 10pm. He wordlessly opened the door wider to let me through.
He immediately started walking back towards his bedroom that he hadn't slept in, in weeks.
"Julian we have to talk,"I said stopping him in his tracks. He ran a hand over his scruff and turned to face me.
"Abbi can we do this in the morning. I just want to sleep right now,"Julian told me as he yawned almost as if to prove his point.
"Jules I want to do this now. If we go to sleep angry it's going to become a habit. I don't want that for our relationship,"He nodded agreeing with me and then stepped back into the kitchen.
"Okay where do you want to start?"He asked me and I took a deep breath. I knew that this conversation wasn't going to be easy.
"I'm not pissed at the fact that you won't have sex with me, well I guess I kinda was. But you have slept with so many other girls and I don't know why you won't do it with me,"I explained and Julian's face softened as he started to understand.
"Abbi, babe it's not like that at all. When I slept with those other girls it didn't mean anything. It was all about pleasure and it's not like that for us. I don't want it to be, I'm scared of messing our relationship up because we rushed into sex too soon,"I could feel my eyes welling up with tears because of how sweet he is being.
"I understand where you are coming from Jules, but you have to understand that I trust you and I want to do this. I wouldn't have stormed out earlier if I wasn't serious,"He stepped closer to me and wrapped me in his arms. I rested my head on his chest and I was short enough compared to him to do so.
"I really really care about you Abbi Belichick,"He whispered to me. Julian hasn't been in a serious relationship since college so this was a big step for him. He looked down at me and his lips descended on mine.
The kiss was slow and sweet and finally he pulled away first,"When we have sex it's going to be special and not after a fight." I rolled my eyes at how cheesy he was being. But at the same time I had to appreciate how cute he was being too.
"Okay, Casanova. If your don't want to have sex with me tonight will you at least sleep in the same bed as me?"
"That I can do."
We headed into the bedroom and I went into my closet to change into something more comfortable. It ended up being one of Julian's shirts that reached my mid thigh. I didn't birthed putting shorts on as it was still pretty hot in my room due to it being September.
After washing my face and putting my hair up I crawled into bed next to Julian. He wrapped his arms around me and I fell into a dreamless sleep.
"So when are you two going to get married?"I nearly spit out my mimosa at my moms question. Julian and I rescheduled our meal with our parents and met them for breakfast instead. Apparently Julian told our parents that I had a migraine and couldn't do dinner last night.
"Jesus Ma,"I said as I stopped coughing. My mother was feeling very straightforward this morning. We were all around Julian and I's dinner table eating a breakfast that Julian and his mother made.
"What? It's a legitimate question,"I rolled my eyes and put more of my omelet into my mouth. This was a Julian question.
"We have only been dating a few months Olivia,"Julian told my mom. His hand rested on my thigh under the table and rubbed it gently to let me know he was supporting me.
"And your father and I had only been dating for 6 months before he proposed,"Julian's mother piped in. I glanced at Julian as he pulled on his collar. I stifled a laugh as I saw how uncomfortable he was.
"It's true. And your mom popped out Jamie 9 months after we got married."
"Too much Dad, too much,"Julian took a sip of his water and looked at me and grinned. I knew he was uncomfortable with this conversation but he still cared for me and I loved him too. I sat up straight in my seat as I realized what I just thought. I loved Julian, I knew that this was always true. But to actually accept it is a whole different game.
"I'm just telling you what happened son."
"Well all I can say that a headache back in my day was definitely code for sex,"My dad told the table and my face immediately heated up. I did not want to talk about our sex life with out parents.
"Dad!"
"What don't act all innocent with me. I know that the testosterone is pumping after a game like Julian just played. You guys couldn't wait to get to the house. That's why we relented so easy on dinner. We didn't think that you guys would blow us off completely though,"My face as red as a fire engine at this point and it was Julian's turn to laugh. I didn't think that breakfast with our parents was going to be this awkward.
"Honey, stop you are embarrassing her. They are young we at least got to see them this weekend,"My mom said as she reached for my dads hand.
"We are glad that you guys were able to make it up this weekend. I am sorry we couldn't tell you about our relationship the way we wanted to, but I got caught up in the moment,"Julian told our parents changing the subject.
"It's okay dear. I'm just glad you two finally got together."
Julian and I have a lot to work out but at the end of the day we are together and that's what matters.It's
