Elliot and Julia have a complicated relationship. Since they met in the seventh grade, the only heart-to-heart conversations they've had have been strictly over text. But they don't mind this lack of intimacy. If anything, they enjoy it. Don't think that this lack of heart-to-heart conversations mean they haven't had some, how should we say, interesting moments. Such as when Julia lost her virginity to Elliot. Yes, you read that correctly. It's a long story. It was just one time. Actually, it was four times. In one night. Once in the morning too. But it was just on one occasion. Okay, two occasions. It's a really really long story. Basically this is just a long story of two people with a complicated, never fully defined, relationship. Well, it's not exactly the full story. This is just the highlights. *cover by @soundthealarm*

"Never call a girl a bitch," I glared into his eyes as he opened them, piercing into me, the bright blue drink I had just poured over him still dripping from his dark hair.

She thinks it's a scam turning his offer down. After all his father always disliked her for whatever reason. As she works hard as a college student trying to earn her degree in business, tuition seems to be getting higher over the years and money gets tight.

Apparently he ran into Greysons, - her ex bestfriends-, father and gave him the same offer for Angelina. She finally accepts the generous offer while something still feels odd to her about his fathers sudden kindness. But she brushes it off. She can't seem to choose between accepting the offer because she wants an explanation from him for leaving her all those years ago or just for the money.

Let's jump a chapter or two and say she chooses him. Would she stick around for the drama of his crazy ex? Or would she just mozy along never looking back at her past. It's all up to her and her decisions, and let's just say they all aren't that great. Someone should've made the choice for her. The only question is. Is this a happy or sad ending? Who knows.

[MAFIA FICTION] ___________ "Look what we have here.. " He spoke, smirking, in his deep sensual voice that made me skip few heartbeats and my breath. The way his voice teased me, showed he knew how bad I'm craving it. I covered my burning red face, squirming, shyly. "Oh No, No, baby , if you do that, how will I get a view of the moment that I waited for so long, my Blossom" he whispered, pinning my hands over my head firmly, positioning himself between my legs once again to have a view of me under his dominance and control. His intense stares made me go crazy. I could feel my heart pounding on trampoline in my chest. I couldn't believe this breathtaking inked God was so close to me, in such an intimate moment that I only dreamt of.. Thinking of all this made me bit my lip and look away in overwhelming shyness. He grabbed my face with his hand made me face him, "If my baby looks away one more time, I'll have to reconsider the reward. I want you to look at me and only me... Am I clear, Blossom?" he spoke, his voice producing a sense of vibration throughout my body everytime he spoke. ____________
