“No.”
She tsks as she grabs her key from the desk agent.
“Caleb, I know it’s been a long time and that I hurt you, but I am still the Lucy you loved. If you need me, I’ll be here.”
“I don’t need you anymore, Lucy. You don’t need to be here. Not for me.”
“You sure about that Caleb?” She looks at me up and down once more before she hits the elevator button and all I see is her ass in those leggings and my cock jolts.
Jesus, what is wrong with me? Obviously, my emotions are all out of whack and my cock has no idea what to do.
Next thing I know, I am grabbing her neck, turning her around and pinning her against the elevator wall. My lips press against hers and she moans as I kiss her. She grabs ahold of my neck and presses me further into her as her hands wander along my back. My heart races as my palms feel her skin under them once more. She hoists herself up and my hands automatically grab onto her ass.
“Take all of me, Caleb.”
JULIA
THAT PART BY LAUREN SPENCER SMITH
Ihave been held up in this hotel room for one week. I have done nothing but type up a novel I am not sure I want anyone to read. I eat, type, sleep, shower and repeat the process. I received a call from Violet this morning, letting me know that my kitchen and dining room were fixed, so I can go back home. I was happy to know that the team worked hard and fast to fix my home. I still want to host the New Year’s Eve party, but I am not sure where Caleb and I stand, especially now that Lucy is back in his life, or isn’t. I am not sure how that is going and quite frankly I don’t want to think about it just yet. But I know I am hurt that he pushed me out.
I’m sure in ten minutes I will enter a town full of questions from Madison and Caleb of where I have been. Madison is probably worried sick. I should have told her where I was, that I was okay but then again, she was his friend first.Conflict of Interest.Christmas is tomorrow, so I will be celebrating it alone, in bed watching Hallmark Christmas movies that I will most likely cry to, while eating Chinese food. My life could be a movie. It would be a romance movie that ends in tragedy.
I pull into my driveway, opening the garage door. I put on the emergency break, shut off the engine and close the garage door. I don’t want anyone to know I am home yet, but I am sure someone heard the garage. When I walk into the house, the kitchen looks amazing. Its back to its original state, the backsplash is white as can be, the white cabinets shine. The dining room table and chairs have been replaced and the rug is brand new. I smile at the work completed before I head to my bedroom.
I walk down the steps and open my bedroom door. I get startled when I see Caleb standing next to my bedroom window.
“Get over here, Julia.”
He doesn’t even turn around to look at me. He just has his hands in his pockets and looks out at the snow falling. I remove my coat and toss it onto the bench along the wall.
“No. I don’t think I will. Caleb.” I sass as I sit to remove my boots.
“Julia.”
He slowly turns as his voice vibrates through my body. He always commands attention. He has authority over me, and in most cases I love it, but right now I don’t want it. I ignore my traitorous body as I press my thighs together as the scent of him has my body vibrating with need.
“Don’t do that. You have a lot of explaining to do. And right now, I don’t want to be controlled by you in my bedroom.” I hold my hand up stopping him in his tracks. My eyes burn with tears as I hold them in and proceed.
“You got mad at me for going through boxes and then kicked me out like I was nothing to you once you saw her. You said you would never hurt me, Caleb. But you did. Explain.”
I brace myself for him to get upset but he doesn’t. Instead, he sits at the edge of my bed and taps the bed for me to join him. I follow this command, as there is a softer approach to him this time. I can see his body relax as he exhales and keeps his eyes to the floor.
“She was on drugs and depressed when she got the call from the Doctor which made things worse. So, she tried to kill herself and had her dad cover it up. He had her committed. She owed people money and they threatened to kill her and me, so she left.” He pauses.
“Oh, and apparently, she gave birth seven months later to a baby girl who was still born. So, there’s that too. But everything could have been a lie. I don’t trust her.”
I swallow before I place my hand over his. I don’t know how much comfort he needs from me, if any. I don’t even know why he is here. The question that’s brewing in my mind still remains.
Does he want to be with her or me?
I pinch my brows together as I try to hear him out but everything he is saying has nothing to do with me and everything to do with his past.
“Do you love me or her, Caleb? Because if it is not me, I need to know. I listened to everyone telling me if I don’t love you then to leave you alone. I don’t want to be the fool again.”
He shuffles his position on the bed, facing me.
“I love you, Julia. I fucked up, I didn’t mean to be rude when she showed up. I was shocked and confused. I didn’t know what to do.”
