Here is another chapter. I really hope you like it. By the way let me know if you guys want another chapter in Julian's POV anytime soon. Anyways Enjoy :)
<~~~~~~~~~~~•~~~~~~~~~~~>
Walking through Julian's house towards the dinner table seemed like the longest walk of my life. I was so nervous. What if I said the wrong thing and Julian's parents end up hating me. And from my first encounter with Ashley I'm scared that she won't like me and tell Julian not to talk to anymore. Oh who am I kidding if Julian really loves me then he won't listen to his sister. And I'm being paranoid for no reason I mean I don't have problems with carrying on a conversation with people and I don't have any random tendencies to embarrass myself so hopefully things will go smoothly.
So as we turned the final corner of the grand hall I felt confident enough to get through a silly family dinner. I held my head high and walked with as much confidence as I could but in the end I ended up looking like a constipated elephant trying to crap and give birth because Julian put his arm around me and rubbed my arm to reassure me that everything will be okay. But would it really?
Finally making it to the table I took a seat right next to Julian. I looked at the food laid out on the table and my mouth immediately started watering along with the sound of my stomach grumbling and sounding strangely like a chainsaw. Hmm interesting.
We were having grilled chicken marinated in some type of mystery sauce that smelled really good. The sides were potato salad, macaroni salad, green beans, and last but not least was corn bread.
I was quickly broken out of my thoughts when the sound of other people sitting sounded through out the silent room. Once everyone was settled we all turned towards Annalise for a signal that said 'okay dig in' which was her picking her plate up and her fork and grabbing the grilled chicken. Which was a sign for everyone to go ahead and start grabbing their food.
I quickly grabbed the spoon to the macaroni salad seeing as it was the bowl that was right in front of me. I put one spoonful of macaroni salad on my plate and then moved on to the potato salad once Julian was done getting some of it. I finished getting every food item on the table and putting some on my plate and then started eating. I was a pretty quick eater so I finished eating under 6 minutes everyone else followed suit. I decided not to leave the table until Julian did which apparently in Julian's house after they finish eating usually they talk about their day before getting up from the table.
"So Felicity, tell me how you and Julian met." Annalise said, breaking the silence.
"Well Julian and I have been going to school together for years but I never really paid too much attention to him and vice versa but the first time we technically met was when we were in class and he kept tapping my shoulder to get on my nerves which led to me yelling at him and being sent in the hall. Then he did something to get sent in the hall too so he could get on my nerves even more. Your son can really be annoying at times but I guess that makes him all the more lovable." I said with a huge smile on my face as I turned to look at him. And like every other time he was already looking at me.
"Yes he definitely can but like you said that makes him all the more lovable. Well do you have any siblings or is it just you?" Annalise asked.
"Yes I have a brother he's 19 but according to Julian my brother and Jason are best friends. My brother actually just came home for college today I'm not exactly sure how long he's staying. You know I just recently found out about Julian having a brother and I only found out about Ashley here a few hours ago." I said while gesturing to Ashley.
"Seriously Julian? You didn't tell her about me? Gosh your so rude!" Ashley said with a grunt.
"Well she never asked." Julian said while shrugging.
"Okay kids settle down. Anyways Felicity what do your parents do for a living?" Winston asked after wiping his face clean.
"Well my father passed away when I was younger of a heart condition and my mother is a consultant so she travels a lot. She's hardly home at times but I get over it. She really threw herself into her job after my dad passed away so my brother and I had to grow up and mature a lot faster then other children. We had a live in nanny until my brother turned 16 and then we were able to live with out the nanny and my mom would just send us money all the time and she would just visit when ever she could but now that my brother is in college it gets pretty lonely." I said while looking down at my lap and trying to hold back the tears that were pooling in my eyes. I was pulled out of my reverie when Julian reached over and grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I sent him a little smile before wiping my eyes.
"Oh I'm very sorry about your dad and your welcome here anytime if you get lonely. And trust me we know how it feels to travel a lot and hardly get to see our kids and it really does break our hearts to not get to see them as much. So if you ever feel like your mom doesn't want to see you or doesn't care about you trust me when I say that it probably breaks her heart every time she has to leave you." Annalise said, reaching over to squeeze her husbands shoulder with tears in her eyes.
"I didn't mean to upset you. I'm sorry." I said.
"It's fine hun. Anyways one of these days when your mom comes to visit we can get together and have dinner. But we have to go we are getting quite tired Winston had a very long flight and I had some pretty long shifts so we're gonna head to bed but again it was very nice to meet you Felicity and I'm glad that my son found him a nice girl to be with. Goodnight everyone." Annalise said while getting up from her chair right before adding, "Oh yeah I forgot to tell you that there is some dessert in the fridge just heat it up." And with that her and Winston left the kitchen.
Finding out about the dessert made me glance over towards the fridge I mean I wanted some but I didn't want to seem like a pig. Thankfully Julian decided that he wanted some too so he got up and headed towards the fridge after dumping my plate and his in the sink.
After pulling out the dessert from the fridge I went over to him to figure out what the dessert was. Which it looked like a s'mores dip which meant there was churros somewhere in the kitchen. And as if reading my mind Ashley went over to the cabinets above the stove and got some cinnamon churros. I looked at her and almost did a happy dance. Man do I love s'mores dip and churros.
"Your mom is a freaking genius!" I all but screamed.
"Trust me I know. Now let's stop talking and someone get the fucking bowls." Ashley said.
"Okay Felicity will you reach in that cabinet behind you and get three bowls. I'm gonna go get the chocolate ice cream." Julian said while walking backwards. It seemed as if this whole thing was routine.
"Ice cream?" I asked while reaching into the cabinet to get the bowls.
"Yeah chocolate ice cream topped with the s'more dip and churros is the best thing in the world you just wait." Ashley said while reaching into a drawer and pulling out three spoons.
I sat the bowls down and Ashley came over and put a spoon in each one. Julian finally came back and ripped the top off of the ice cream faster than lightning. He grabbed a spoon out of one of the bowls and dipped it into hot water before scooping out some ice cream and throwing it into his bowl afterwards he did another scoop and put it into his bowl and then he did it one more time. Hmm I guess I could give up on that feeling like a pig feeling cause Julian is giving me a run for my money. I grabbed my spoon and did the same except I got two scoops and then Ashley followed right after.
Julian ran over to the s'mores dip and scooped up three globs of it and then put, I don't even know how many churros, in the bowl. He then ran over to the table and dug into the dessert immediately. I grabbed my spoon and got a few scoops of s'mores dip and about ten churros and then went back over to my seat at the table. Ashley did the same.
The plan was that if we ran out of churros then we just eat the rest with our spoons. Not even 8 minutes later were we all done with our dip.
Afterwards we decided to watch a movie in the theater room (yes they have one). But after the movie I had to go back home so I grabbed my things and Julian took me home. But I did promise Ashley that I would come back over and we would get to know each other more so we exchanged numbers.
Pulling into my driveway I looked over at Julian and gave him a kiss and followed with a pained smile. I really really didn't want to leave him but he couldn't stay over with my brother here and I couldn't stay over his house with his parents there and plus we have school tomorrow. But before I could get out the car Julian stopped me.
"I just wanted to tell you again that you are going to here a lot of rumors about me from a lot of girls that are just jealous of you and I just ask that you don't judge me. Please don't because what they are saying isn't true and I only have eyes for you now. Just promise me that you will come to me first if you hear something before you just break it off because if you leave me Felicity I don't think I could live. I almost broke down last time because you wouldn't even give me the time of day and I couldn't take it. You were able to block out your emotions but I couldn't. No matter what I did I couldn't get you out of my head. During the summer I even came over to your house to talk to you because I was feeling hopeless and like I was going to die but when I got there your mom said you were in the Bahamas so when I left I broke down and got drunk as shit and locked myself up in my room for a week. So please Felicity don't make me have to live without you again." Julian said as tears started sliding down his face. I reached over and wiped his tears away as tears of my own slid down my face. I broke down in tears and Julian did the same. We were just sitting there bawling our eyes out until Julian finally stopped and leaned over to cut off my sobs with a kiss. He was probably tasting a butt load of salt water seeing as my tears were getting on my lips and he had his lips on mine. But oh well.
I finally broke away from the kiss and rested my forehead on his and he did the same.
"I really do love you Felicity and it kills me that you don't trust me. It really does. I love you so much." He said, while pulling me into a hug.
"I love you too Julian and you have nothing to worry about I will be here as long as you let me. We will talk later. I love you so so much. Goodbye." I said as I broke away from the hug and got out the car.
Once I got into the house I turned around and watched as Julian backed out of my driveway and sped down the road. I closed the door and went into the living room and guess who was in there, the bitch that ruined mine and Julian's relationship last year AKA Katie. And what was she doing? Making out with my brother of course.......
