CHAPTER 17
Julia
I should have asked Joyce where the lab was before I took off, but when we started talking about Julesâs mom, it brought back terrible memories, and I had to get out of there. As I made my way outside, several people were milling about, so I stopped one of them and asked.
It turned out it was within walking distance, so I tried to enjoy the sunshine and fresh-ish air. But, unfortunately, I must have had my head in the clouds because the next thing I knew, my butt was on the ground.
âJules? What are you doing?â Denise pulled out her earbuds and helped me up. She was wearing running shorts and a tank top while jogging in place.
It was the first time Iâd really seen her body, and I stared in amazement. She was solid, as she easily plowed me over and didnât even flinch. But she was also sexy. She had the body of an athlete, but with her hair pulled back, I could see she had the bone structure of a model. Her cheeks were high, and her jaw was square, which framed her perfectly pouty lips.
I didnât even notice I was hurt because her magnetism distracted me. But when I got up, the pain intensified, and I grimaced.
âAre you okay? That was some hit.â She stopped moving and placed her arm gingerly around my waist, causing my stomach to do somersaults.
âYeah. Iâm good.â I slowly extracted myself from her grasp, and she returned to jumping around like her feet were on fire. âWhy are you here?â
âThis is where I run. Why are you here? You hate this place.â She gave me a wary look that she had perfected since I arrived.
âIâm assisting my dad with an experiment.â I sort of mumbled it because I knew she would have something to say.
âLiar. What are you really doing?â She stopped her mini-workout and crossed her arms.
Her stern face was meant to be intimidating, but it was more arousing. My god, I needed to keep my head out of the gutter. I had never thought like this, but it was like I knew I couldnât have her, and it made me want her so much more.
Maybe that was my problem. I didnât necessarily want her. It was my innate need to have it all that was making me feel this way. But when her tongue slid out to wet her lips, all of my rationalizations went out the window. There wasnât a doubt in my mind that I was one hundred percent attracted to her.
âDonât ignore me,â she snapped, but she had no idea I couldnât do that if I wanted to.
She was like a target, and my eyes were set on her. But I hoped I wouldnât be here much longer because I wasnât sure if I could stay strong.
âI wouldnât dream of it.â I smiled at how true my words were.
âThen what are you doing here? It seems like youâve been avoiding me, but then you
