Runway Love

Chapter Ten

"I really need to calm down." I thought to myself, as I paced in circles outside the exit Julian would be coming out of. "It's just Julian." I'm beginning yo think that I should have brought Connor with me. He would have made me take a seat and breathe. The only reason why I told him not to come was because it was Julian I'd be picking up. Julian's very overprotective over me, there's a chance that he would have snapped Connors neck if the first thing he saw at the airport was Connor and I. Before I could pull out my phone to text Connor, someone placed their hands over my eyes.

"Guess who?" the very familiar voice said from behind me. I squealed, removing his hands from my face and turning around to hug him.

"Julian!" I said as I wrapped my arms around my brother. "I missed you!"

Julian hugged me back, he chuckled right in my ear. "It's only been six months!" he said soothingly, as I tried to hold back my tears. "Look at you, you're a model and everyone knows your name!"

"Yeah, but I miss my big brother."

"I misseded you, too." Julian finally caved in, admitting he missed me. We let go of each other, got Julians bags, and headed to the car.

"You've made friends here, right?" Julian asked me as I began to drive out of the airport parking lot.

"Yeah." I replied. "A couple of the models I was on the runway with, and my boss is pretty cool, too."

"I bet you've got men kissing the ground you walk in." he chuckled, placing his hand on my head and messing up my hair.

"I don't know, I haven't been paying attention to them if they have been." here it goes, I'm going to bring up Connor. "Actually, I have a boyfriend."

Julian gave me a look. It was like a surprised, concerned look. He would be concerned, considering he knows all about my dating history. Mostly how rough it is.

"I want to meet him." he said sternly.

"You will. Maybe we can go out to dinner with him or something."

"Sure, why not. Tell him, and set it up for tomorrow night."

"Julian, I have to be on the runway tomorrow." I reminded him, although he might not have known. "Dana is having another show to debut to rest of the summer and spring collection. She's having me wear two things! A nice pastel blue romper and a blood orange maxi dress."

"So we'll go after. I'll find a place." Julians being very persistent with meeting Connor, and I know why. He feels the need to be like this because I don't have my father in the picture to be cautious about who I date. It might also be because of what happened with my last boyfriend, Dan and I. Long story short, he broke my heart and Julian hates his guts, his lungs, and basically everything about Dan. As I parked the car, Julian marveled at my apartment.

"Wow." he said in awe. "You got yourself a kickass apartment." he took his bags and began walking to the door.

"Just wait until you get inside." I said, unlocking the door and pushing it open. Julian walked in, looking around the apartment.

"Jesus Christ, Jaime." he exclaimed, walking into the living room. "How much do you get paid?"

"Obviously enough to get whatever you're looking at." whatever he was looking at, it was probably the flat screen hung up on the wall above the fireplace.

"It's unbelievable that my little sister has a nicer t.v. than me." I was right, he was looking at the t.v.. 

"You're only three years older, you'll get a t.v.like that eventually." I teased. It felt nice being able to tease my brother once again.
