Call it Fate, Call it Karma

Honey

"So..."' I said, after yawning and looking over at Julian. "What would you like to do today?"

He grunted and pulled the sheet over his head.

I sat up and pushed off the blanket. "Jules..?"

"Nothing." he croaked. "I'm sleeping."

"You're not wasting a day off." I said and waited for a witty response, but Julian's heavy breaths were all I could hear. "Fine." I sighed with clear annoyance as I jumped out of bed. "I'll let you sleep in...but only until ten-thirty!"

Julian huffed, as if challenging my motives. I knew he thought I'd eventually cave in and leave him be...but I had a couple tricks up my sleeve.

I pranced out into the living area and picked up the phone, then dialling a number I knew all too well.

"Hello?"

"Fabrizio! Who's in today?"

"Hey, Jade! It's just me right now."

"Come over? Jules has a day off."

"Yeah, I know. We have practice today, remember?"

"Oh, shit...I forgot about that." I sighed, feeling quite disheartened. "I wanted to do something with him today."

"Sorry, Jade. We can't skip out on rehearsal today."

"It's okay..."

"You should come and watch, though...so you're not alone all day."

"Maybe..."

"Why do you sound so bummed out?" he asked, his voice full of concern. "Is everything okay?"

"Was just looking forward to hanging out is all."

"Come to rehearsal. We 'hang out'."

I rolled my eyes. "Not like we used to. Its more work oriented now and Julian gets pissed off when I screw around, which I totally understand, but I just wanted us all to chill, y'know? Maybe get super stoned or some shit."

"We really need to focus today, Jade...sorry." Fab sighed. "Just come hang later if you feel like it, okay?"

I grunted, digging my nails into my palms. "I'll think about it. See 'ya, Fab."

"Wait!" he yelped. "Ryan's coming over too," he started to explain. "...he wants to talk about getting some merch made, because people have been asking for T-Shirts! We were thinking you could sell the merch?"

"How much is that gonna cost?" I said, widening my eyes. "Don't tell Julian. He'll overwork himself again...and what ever happened to that box of shirts you showed me ages ago?"

"I sent them to my mom and brother. They're really excited about the band."

"Aw, you cutie!" I giggled. "Mama's boy!"

"Shut up!"

"Hey, so I guess I'll come."

"Great! Try to be over here by about eleven-thirty."

"Sure thing...if I can get Jules outta bed."

"Good luck! I'll see you later!"

"Bye!"

I trudged into the kitchen and started to make some breakfast, because I figured it would make Julian feel more eager to get out of bed. When in doubt, make pancakes.

When I was finished, I put the plate on the table in front of the couch and walked over to our record player, where I sifted through our collection for a bit before settling on an album by The Cars. I made sure to turn the volume up quite loud...loud enough to wake Julian up, but not loud enough to receive complaints from other residents in our apartment building.

I danced into the bedroom and jumped onto the bed. "Juuuuuules!" I cooed, peeling off the blanket. Typically, he groaned in response and tried to pull the blanket back on. "Julian, get up! I made pancakes." I said, throwing the blanket out of his reach. "Fab reminded me about your band shit and we'll need to be at the guys' place by eleven-thirty."

Julian blinked his eyes open and looked over at me. "You're coming?" he spoke in his sleepy voice that I loved so much.

"Well, it's the only way I'll get to spend time with you today." I shrugged.

"Aw, you wanna spend time with little old me?" he teased, speaking in a deeper and more sexier tone. He sat up and folded his arms behind his head, his eyes glued on mine. His messy hair covered his eyes, and his pouty lips lips curled up into a soft smile.

"Shut the hell up." I grunted, biting down on my bottom lip. "I'm gonna jump you in a second if you don't get up."

Julian shrugged. "I guess I'll be staying in bed then."

Temptation giving in, I leaned over and kissed him, pulling away seconds after, before he had the chance to kiss back. I then climbed off the bed and leant against the doorframe with my arms crossed. "There's more where that came from if you get the fuck up." I said as I turned on my heel and walked out.

"Be right there, honey!" Julian called after me.

"Honey?!" I giggled, flipping over the record and then falling onto the couch.
