Chapter Nineteen

JULIA

Is it bad to say I enjoy Friday nights where I’m hunkered down in my apartment, nothing on but an oversized T-shirt and socks, a pack of cookies open on my coffee table, a glass of milk next to it, and a romantic comedy playing on my TV?

Today’s feature brought to me by Netflix. Their new original movies have been making my little romantic heart happy.

I flip between watching To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and The Kissing Booth, yes, both young adult movies, but it’s my favorite genre. So innocent, yet with overflowing hormones, the passion is intense, the kind of blind passion I’ve missed out on. The passion I’m feeling so jaded about in real life. What does he want from me? Is he only in this for sex? Is he going to break up with me after a few dates? Is he a serial killer posing as a decent guy who works in sales?

These are things you have to be aware of when you’re older.

Dating is hard enough as it is, let alone having to look out for all the creepers trying to trap you in their love den. It’s one of the main reasons I created my dating program, for those who are truly and honestly serious about finding love.

Now if only could find some for myself.

I sigh and snuggle under a blanket, choosing The Kissing Booth. Friday night movie night became the ritual when I stopped going to college parties. Besides the times when I have actually dated someone, I haven’t broken tradition. Suffice to say, none of my dates have ever wanted to hang out here and watch movies.

But that’s okay, because movie time is me time, and we should always have some—

Knock, knock.

Who the hell is that?

I glance toward the door.

I didn’t order any food and I’m not close enough with my neighbors where they would want to borrow a cup of sugar.

Could it be Rath? Maybe Clarissa? Anita?

Cautiously I pause the opening credits of the movie and make my way to the door, tiptoeing my approach, but thanks to the old New York apartment flooring, I’m easily detected. Using the peephole, I close one eye and look through it.

What the heck?

What is he doing here? And why is his head tilted down as if unsure of himself while his hands grip the walls?

Straightening, I take a second, pulling away from the peephole, only to return, gathering one more look, my eyes blinking rapidly. Why is Bram standing outside my apartment right now when he’s supposed to be on a date?

If he screwed this up, I’m going to kill him.

I open the door and stare Bram down. “Bram.” I give him a once-over, taking in the outfit I picked out. “What are you doing here?”

He doesn’t move, just stares at me, his chest heaving, his forearms flexing from the strong grip he has on the doorframe, and when I look into his enchanting eyes, they seem darker, menacing almost.

What the hell is wrong?

Carly is lovely, so there shouldn’t have been another dragon-lady incident.
