I know that you love me

JULIA'S POV

It was funny actually. I came here to forget about Ken and there he is! In the same club as I am in! Fucking fantastic!

I turned around to avoid being noticed but that did the exact opposite.

"Julia? Hey! Since you're here let's talk about what happened earlier today", he said looking at me, waiting for an answer.

"Ken... I don't think that we sho-", my sentence was cut off by his words, "Come sit, we are only going to talk, I am not going to do anything to you", he laughed lightly, but he was still cautious.

I nodded my head as a yes and he told me to sit down next to him.

"I- um- I would like to apologize to what I did to you today, it was a complete jerk move, I am sorry. I shouldn't have something that wasn't true-", I cut him off and said, "If it wasn't true you would have never blurted it out, Ken. Please don't act like you still like me, it's been a long time since our relationship, our feelings for each other have disappeared, so let's stop talking about the past"

"Julia! You know how Brittney is, I couldn't just say no without her nagging about it. I want to break up with her. So please give us another chance, this time we'll make it work. I know that you love me as much as I love you, Julia, don't deny it", as soon as he said that I started to cry.

"I don't want to hear your lies anymore. Please go and leave me", after I said that I ran into the toilets.

I opened the unisex toilet door and quickly went to the sinks to wash my face from any spilled tears. I whimpered a bit as I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that my face was red.

I then heard the door open behind me, "Julia? 'You there?", said a familiar voice.

"I told you to leave me alone, Ken", I said annoyed at him for not respecting my wishes.

"I know that you said that but let's be honest, you wouldn't like to be alone now would you?", he said cockily.

"You're right", I sighed to what he said. "Then, let's go enjoy and forget all about what we talked about in the last five minutes, yeah?", he said. I thought for a second about it, if I disagreed and decided to go alone and party alone, it would be very boring and I would have to think a lot but if I stayed with Ken, I might forget everything and actually have some fun and what I want right now to dance so...

"Ok, let's go dance", I agreed to what he said. He then clasped his hands together and 'wohoo'ed for a bit before saying, "Let's get the party started!"

I laughed at him before taking his hand and leading him outside of the toilets to the dance floor.

There were a lot of people dancing and screaming the words of a song that I didn't recognize. I then looked around the place to spot a karaoke machine not very far. I tugged at Ken's sleeve and pulled him with me over there. I quickly looked at the different songs on there as Ken was figuring out what that is he was looking at. When he realized what was in front of us he said, "Jules! No! I not singing!"

"But Ken! There are One Direction songs! I know you are a 1D fan!", I revealed that I knew his secret.

"No, I am not!"

"Are to!"

"Am not!"

"To!"

"Not!"

"Not!"

"To!"

"Aha! See you are a 1D fan!", I said, happy that I won.

"Whatever", he said rolling his eyes.

"Please come sing with! We'll sing Kiss You by 1D! Your favorite!", I pleaded for him and give him some puppy eyes.

"Fine! Ok!", he sighed and held the mic in his hand and I pressed start on the machine. And whatever song stopped and the music from the karaoke machine filled the club.

The song began and we sang along to our parts, earning applauds and cheers from the others in the club, "Oh, I just wanna show you off to all of my friends, making them drool down to their chinny - chin - chins, baby, be mine tonight, mine tonight, baby, be mine tonight, yeah!", we sang with the song and looked at each other smiling. I secretly hoped that I looked good while I sang because I didn't want Ken to notice my idiocy.

I got a bit closer to him to walk behind him and to grab my cup of alcohol from the table behind him. I took a sip and looked at him as he sang still near him. When he reached the last line of the song, he turned around and got close to me, "Baby, say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and let me kiss you"

Ken was suddenly in front of me and placing his lips on mine. I returned his kiss shyly.

We kissed.

I kissed him.

He kissed me.

Ken Roberts kissed me after years of waiting.
