The Perfect Pitch

So I didn't get to tell Jules what I wanted to tell her. I feel like I shouldn't keep this from her because knowing her nature, she'll have my head for dinner if I keep hiding it from her.

I just can't bring myself to tell her but I don't want to keep it from her either. I've never been so confused in my entire life.

I graduated high school today. I'm supposed to be extremely happy but I just feel the same. I think I even felt happier when I passed a really difficult level on my video game.

I mean, what's so great about getting out of this hell hole? For all I know, I'm going to another one but at least it's one where I actually like what's being taught.

The only good thing about today was Julian's speech. I know that she's really smart but she's such an excellent speaker. She's also really charming but I'll be lying if I said that I heard all what she said.

I was so lost in her amazing brown eyes and gorgeous pink lips that I love to kiss. When I'm around her, my brain shuts off and I loose all ability to think. I loose contact with the real world and all I see is her.

I can't believe that there was a time that we were at war. Looking back, I feel like a big idiot because of all the mean things that I did to her.

The rest of the day was basically a blur and a lot of people spent it at home with their proud parents.

Mine wasn't different.

"MY BABY GRADUATED TODAYYYY" My mom poured sparkles on me and screamed.

Yes, this is what I'm putting up with right now.

"Mom, I'm not a baby, I'm not even a girl" I used my hand in an attempt to get the glitter out but only ended up making a mess.

"Congratulations son" My step father called me over Facetime.

"Thanks, Bill" I know that he's my step father and all that but I just can't call him dad. My father doesn't deserve that.

In my defense, he's not even trying to fill in my dad's spot. He's rarely around and I only get to see him a holiday every year.

Last year it was Christmas, two years ago, it was Easter. I'm not quite sure when he's coming this year but who cares.

"Honey, when are you coming back?" My mom asked

"I'm not sure but I gotta go, bye" He ended the call and I saw a little bit of sadness wash over my mom's face.

"Alright, let's cut the cake" My mom said

"Yay, I want a piece bigger than my head" Andre squealed

I smiled at my family. Sometimes, I wish this is the way we were, you know, without my step dad. He's cool and all that and he really loves my mom but he can never take my dad's spot in my heart.

My dad wasn't just my dad, he was my teacher, my mentor, my leader, my idol and most importantly, my best friend. I can never have the bond I shared with my dad with Bill.

I smiled at my little brother and gave him the piece he requested for. I haven't actually reached out to the academy.

I want to go but I also don't want to go. I think I should really try to talk to Jules. I locked my room door and took of my shirt.

Damn it,the glitter got on my body too. I don't know how to get glitter off my body. I could waste my time and watch a YouTube video or I could ask Julian. I think I'll go for the second one.

I positioned the phone in front of my face and waited for her to pick. Her beautiful face came up on my phone and my entire room was filled with her beautiful laughter.

"What happened to you? Why do you look like that? Did a unicorn poop on you?" She chuckled

"Just shut up and tell me what to do" I said

"Alright, go set up a nice warm bath and soak yourself in for a really long time. Call me when you're done with that" She blew me a kiss and ended the call.

I turned on the water heater and stripped my clothes off. I stepped in the jacuzzi with my briefs still on. I arched my back and found a comfortable spot for my head.

I don't know how long I had my eyes closed but it's been like a really long time. I should call her back. I picked up my phone from the counter around the jacuzzi and dialled her.

I don't know if I'm hallucinating but I can literally hear a phone ringing here. I swallowed a lump in my throat and and turned around slowly.

My heart literally jumped out of my chest when I saw Julian sitting on a chair behind me. She was peeling an apple.

"It's rude to not call someone back when they tell you to" She gave me a death glare.

"Um, but what are you doing here? Why couldn't you just call me or something?" I asked

"What do you think?" She dropped the apple and the knife and started taking off her jacket. Her top followed right after and then her pants.

"What...what..What are you doing?" I stammered.

"What does it look like?" She played with the band of her thong like as if she was about to take it off. She smiled and tied her hair in a bun.

She stepped into the jacuzzi and picked up a sponge and body wash.

"What are you doing?" My body was already starting to react to her being so close to me.

"Just because we can't have sex, doesn't mean we can't have fun" She squeezed the sponge and soap came out of it. She rubbed it on my body in a very kinky way.

I'm used to teasing her a lot but tonight, the tables have turned.

"I like it when you shiver in fear because of me" She looked at me seductively while batting those her long eyelashes.

Oh God

I pulled her closer to me and captured her perfect plum lips in mine. The lips that I'm so addicted to and never get enough of.

"Aren't we going to get the glitter out of my way?" I pulled away from her.

"Shut up and kiss me" She wrapped her arm around my neck and I could feel her completely against me.

Julian Reece, you have no idea how much self control it takes me to not rip your thong off your body.

I turned up the heater in the jacuzzi and it seemed like the heat made everything much more arousing. It made us breathless and start panting like idiots.
