“You two seem close,” Abhay stated, looking from Leonard to Julian.

“Yup! And since Julian likes Mom, I’ve decided to help him out,” Leo answered with a grin.

“Gee, thanks, buddy! I’m honored to be your charity case,” Julian answered with sorrow in his face. He even went as far as to wipe invisible tears from his cheeks and sniff twice to illustrate his point.

“Overdramatic much?” Leo deadpanned. Then he was running away from a furious-looking Julian who couldn’t keep up the pretense for even a minute before they both burst out laughing.

Abhay was about to stop them as his best friend tackled down Leo to the ground when Julian suddenly turned them over at the last minute so that he was the one who took the impact of the fall, their laughter filling the air.

Playing. Julian was playing with the kid. Something he rarely did outside the bedroom with his women. Julian seemed very different from the last time Abhay had seen him. And Abhay had known Julian for a very long time—ever since they’d joined Turner Security together.And if there was anything he was certain about Julian, it was he wasn’t like this—spending time with another person other than women.

Abhay felt ridiculous at being jealous of the two, but still, as he watched Julian help a laughing Leo get his ass off the ground, he couldn’t help the slight breathlessness he felt and the tightening around his heart. He had been the one who had taught the delinquent, angry teen to play, to vent his anger and let go of the past.And now . . . Julian was doing the same thing to another kid but without him. He was finally moving forward. And Abhay was worried as to what the future will hold for him.

When the duo came back to stand next to him again, smiling and fake punching each other, he tapped Julian’s shoulder lightly. “A word with you.”

Julian motioned for Leo to go inside the van and wait for his mother, since it was getting cold outside. Abhay’s tone also worried him. It was time for some serious confessions.

“What’s going on Julian?” Abhay hissed once Leo was inside. “Did I hear him wrong or did he just say that you ‘like’ his mother?”

“You didn’t hear wrong Abhay, I like Sia,” Julian admitted.

“You mean you lust after her and she ain’t giving you any? You’re confusing lust for like man!” Abhay argued back angrily.

“I know how I feel for Sia, Abhay. I know it!” Julian hissed back.

“After everything that’s happened to you, Julian, you still want to get involved with a woman? Romantically?” Abhay yelled back but not loud enough for their voices to reach Leo.

“Sia is not my mother, Abhay! I’ve seen Leo and the way she treats him. And I know that she can never be my mother. You might think that she’s playing hard to get but everything she has done ‘till now was because of her son. She would never hurt her own child the way my mother did!” Julian yelled back, his fists clenched, his jaw tight.
