"You're coming back tomorrow night?" I ask Julian as I look at his beautiful face on the tiny screen of my phone. He was away for some business for Paradise Turn with Nina in Chicago and even though it's only been a little bit of time that he's been gone, I really miss him. He's become one of my best friends now, not even speaking of the relationship that we had been building. Even since he's been gone, I've started to realize how much I really wanted him. He was such an attractive, amazing man and even though I was still new to this whole gay relationship thing, I was very intrigued by Julian and I knew he felt the same way.
"Maybe, I don't know. Nina's trying to convince me to stay a few more days since she wants to just hang out without having to think about any business stuff, but I don't really think I want to," he tells me and I lightly bite on my lip as I flip onto my stomach to get a better view of him. He sits in an absolutely gorgeous black suit in an office chair while he stares at me with focused eyes.
"Well, if you come home tomorrow, then maybe I could stay at your place," I tell him, taking a risk because I had no idea what Julian would think about this idea since I knew he was trying to take it slow for me. I continue to bite my lip as I wait for his reaction to my statement, but when he doesn't say anything, I look up to see that smirk graced upon his lips.
"Oh, really? A sleepover?" He teases me, leaning on his desk in front of him to be closer to the screen that I was appearing on.
"Shut up. I just miss you and want to hang out with you," I blurt out without even thinking and when I look up again, I see that his smirk had widened even more.
"You miss me?" He teases again, his eyes now darkening as he looks at me. I let out a sigh, putting my head in my hands as I hear him typing something on his laptop that was probably next to his phone while he talked to me.
"Yes, I miss you. I think you've grown on me," I tell him, trying to give him a clue about what we could do the night he gets back by raising my eyebrows a bit.
"Well, that's good. I would hope that my boyfriend would like me," he blurts out before realizing that he actually used the word that I think we've both kinda been avoiding ever since we met. We've never even talked about what we were because we've been more focused on getting to know each other, but now he finally said it, I could feel my heart fluttering in my chest.
"We're officially calling each other our boyfriends?" I ask him with a huge smile on my face. He looks over at me with a shy expression before nodding his head when he sees that I was okay with it.
"Apparently my mind already thinks that we are," he says with a chuckle.
Before as I can say anything else, I watch as he looks up as a door opens and I assume that it was someone that was still in the office, which was weird since Julian said everyone was gone for the rest of the night. I hear the person talking to Julian, but I can't hear what they're exactly saying since they must've been a bit farther away than I was assuming. I set my head on my hand as I lean on my elbow, waiting for this person to leave so I could continue talking to my boyfriend.
"Just give me a few minutes, I'll come help you," Julian says to them before I hear the door close again. When he looks back at me, I stick my bottom lip out in a pout to show him that I was sad. His face softens when he sees that before he lets out a sigh, giving me a sad smile.
"You have to go?" I ask, not even trying to hold back the small whine that was in my voice.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, Mila. Someone needs help that apparently only I could help with, I don't know. People are pretty incompetent in this office," he tells me with a pout of his own.
"I miss you," I whisper, hating that this man was making me fall so hard for him with how amazing he is. We hang out almost every night whenever he's here, either at my place or his, and I've slowly started to realize how fucking awesome he is. He's so passionate about his work and about the people in his lives, like his friends and even me and my family. He's definitely intimidating when you first meet him since he's only 26 and he's done so much with his life, but then you realize that he's actually super sweet.
