“Thought you were bailing on me.”
She looks at her phone and smiles.
“I am early.”
I grab her arm and pull her to me. She finds her footing as I wrap my arm over her shoulder.
“Connor joining you?”
Madison smiles as she takes in my hand placement around Julia.
“He should be here soon. You guys have fun.”
She winks as I hand Julia her wrist band. I grab her a cotton candy and we head over to play some games. She is surprisingly good at shooting hoops. We eat kettle corn, ride the Ferris wheel which is oddly romantic, and head over to the paintball zone. She is a shitty shot, but she was having so much fun trying to shoot the moving targets. She took losing with so much grace.
“I haven’t had this much fun in such a long time.” She laughs as she wipes some paint off her face.
She decided to open fire at me, so we had a game of tag. We ended up ditching the paintball guns and throwing balloons full of paint. I got one good shot that exploded over her head. She screamed and ran after me.
“I had a great time.” I wipe some paint off her eyebrow before looking at her lips.
“Caleb.”
I hear that voice and I freeze. I turn around to find it’s Sabrina staring at me and Julia. Her eyes lock in to where our hands interlock and she crosses her arms. I let go of Julia’s hand, “I’ll be right back.”
“So, you do date, just not me? Just fuck around with me for years and then some new bitch comes in and you’re on a date with her?”
I rub my hands through my hair and exhale. “Lower your voice. Sabrina, you knew from the start, all I wanted was sex. I have been nothing but honest with you. I am having a nice time out. I don’t have to explain myself to you. We are not exclusive. Do you understand?”
I point to me and her.
She nods and stomps her foot like a child before she walks away.
“You okay?”
Julia’s biting her lip with her eyebrows pinched, concerned that my mood has changed.
“I’m fine. Sorry about that.”
I wrap my arm around her waist and walk her out of the carnival. I will have to deal with Sabrina later.
Ihaven't seen Julia in three days. According to Madison she is in writing mode. She has a deadline to meet and won’t be done anytime soon. I decided after I close up the bar, that I was going to bring wine over, give her a little break from writing. During work I was able to read one of her books as it was a slow night, and I was curious. It was an office romance, and it was pretty much a porno written up instead of a video.
Who knew an innocent looking Julia had such a nasty mind?
I was so surprised and captivated by her writing, that I couldn’t put it down. I even had to relieve myself in the bathroom due to envisioning Julia as the female lead.
“Oh, yeah, I have read that one. It’s hot huh?” Sydney peaks over my shoulder as I finish the last chapter.
“Yeah, it’s really good. Do woman actually like the things in these books?” I ask.
Sydney isn't shy about sex talk. She has all kinds of crazy conversations in the kitchen with Travis and the line cooks.
“Well Chapter 21, where she gets tied up and blindfolded, that heightens all kinds of senses. It’s a favorite amongst us ladies.” She winks as she proceeds to clean off her table.
I make a mental note to go over this book with Julia. I finish clearing off the bar and turn off the lights. Sydney leaves out the back with Travis and the bus boy. I exit the front and lock the doors. It’s a short walk home so I cradle the wine in my hand as I walk. Her house comes into view, the lights are on, so she is still up. It’s only 12:20 in the morning so I am not surprised. I press the doorbell and wait for her to answer. I exhale a cold breath as I press the doorbell once more.
“Coming.”
