It was close to seven when I entered the house, and that's when I noticed how quiet it was. I searched the lower half of the house for Julian, but didn't find him anywhere. It wasn't until I topped the stairs that I saw him walking out of Damien's room. He looked up at me and smiled, half-heartedly, and then he moved towards me, meeting me at the end of the railing. He looked down at me and shrugged, holding on to one of Damien's many teddy bears.

“He had a nightmare.” Julian whispered. I nodded and looked down the stairs as the two of us turned and made our way to the living room. Julian stood there, at the end of the couch as I slipped my coat off and draped it over a dining room chair, then walked by him, brushing against him as I passed. I looked down at my fingers for a moment, then sighed and turned to look at him.

“I'm sorry.” I whispered, shrugging. “It was rude of me to say those things to you about Ashley.”

“You're entitled.” He replied.

“No, I'm not.” I told him, quickly. Julian stepped closer to me and watched me fidget as I stood there under his gaze. “I'm selfish, like you said, because I can sit here and keep telling her that there's no way we can love each other, because of Robert and Damien, and then turn and tell you that I don't want you with her because of the way I feel about you. It's stupid to think that I should have you all to myself when I'm not even available for you to be with.”

“Ashley can't stop how we feel.” Julian smiled at me. I turned to look away from what I saw in his eyes, but I couldn't as he moved, even closer to me. “Can she?” He whispered, standing less than a foot away. “Because, I love you just as much now as I did then.”

“You can't, Julian, you should think about your future!” I answered. “You should be with Ashley, and you should start thinking about not loving me. It's going to get you in trouble.”

“I can't forget us, Cait.” He said, softly. Feeling frustrated, I closed my eyes and relaxed, never seeing him advance, until his hands were on my face and his lips were pressed, heatedly, against mine. I reached up, touching his hands, thinking about pulling them away, pushing him away, but I just held on to him as his kiss became more demanding and the fire I felt between us started to get overwhelming.

When he finally broke, after what seemed like an eternity, he looked down at me with sparkling eyes and he smiled.

“It's been a long time since you've done that.” I whispered, swallowing hard as I looked up at him.

“I know, too long.” He sighed. “Cait, this thing with Ashley and telling her about our past with each other, changes nothing.”

“It changes everything, because you are going to be
