Chapter Sixteen

The morning of my twenty-sixth birthday is spent enjoying the feeling of Julian’s hands and mouth all over my body. He threatens me with an attempt to make me come twenty-six times but we both know we don’t have time for that. We settle on three and he makes me take a rain check. I’d love nothing more than to spend the day in bed with him but he does have a business to run and I have a new boss to meet and some gorgeous condos to get ready to sell.

My roommates are gone by the time I get out of the bedroom but they leave me cards on the table with notes telling me they will see me tonight. Julian takes me to work and seems reluctant to let me out of his sight. I know the sting of what happened this weekend is with him and I’m sure he’s wary that I can just forget what happened, but I truly am trying to move past it. I do my best to reassure him by telling him several more times I love him. It feels good to finally say words I’ve stupidly been holding back for weeks.

Despite my good mood, I spend the majority of the morning feeling a little stressed that Julian is going to meet my parents tonight. I’m not sure what’s stressing me out so much. I know they’ll like him. It’s hard not to and he certainly fits the mold for what kind of man they want me with. Jill is going to be there, and I’m really excited to see her. We’ve been talking and texting more and more and that she wanted to come down for my birthday means a lot to me. I’ve been telling her about Julian and she’s excited to meet him. As far as my parents go, they know this is a very stressful time for me because of what happened with Brady. My mom has promised everything will be low-key and she’ll be on her best behavior. By that I’m assuming she means she won’t be asking Julian when we’re getting married.

They’re excited I’m bringing a man home. It’s been a while and I figure they must know it’s serious. I tell them Luke is busy and can’t join us. It’s hard to say the words “we aren’t friends anymore”. I hope nobody brings him up.

Work is pretty busy and that helps the day go by faster. People know we’ll be fully open for business this weekend and the phone has been ringing off the hook. Evelyn has been doing a great job doling out the calls and by the end of the day, we all have a few appointments on the books. Diego didn’t show up today as expected. We’re all a little disappointed because he seems like such a mystery at this point. Evelyn tells us she heard he’ll be into tomorrow.

I didn’t tell anyone at the office that today is my birthday so nobody makes mention of it.
