FAZER LOGINCarlos’s povI watched the show before mindlessly while wondering what was taking him so long to join me.The least he could do was join me after a couple of seconds.Tapping my feet endlessly on the ground wasn’t going to help. Besides, I was tired of the thumps I was hearing like I was thumper the rabbit.I heard someone coming down from the grand stairs as I pulled my eyes away from the nat geo wild on the television and turned to see his mother coming down the stairs.In her floral white dress, she looked beautiful. She had always been a darling with the way she was dressed. I couldn’t blame her anyway. She was seeing money now and she needed to eat it.Her face frowned when she saw me and I knew a sermon was underway. It was almost like she didn’t like me. Who could blame her? With what I had done to her son in the past, it was a miracle she had not tossed me out like a homeless person by now.“Good morning,” her face lit up almost comically as I smiled while watching her sit on
Julian’s pov The next day, I laid in bed, wondering what to do next. I was still thinking about the next day and how it had gone. This was beautiful. The fact that I had gone through that date yesterday and not thought of blowing my brains out was a lot to handle. I expected it to be bad, but it turned out great.My door opened with my mother coming in as I frowned at her.“What do you want mum?” I sighed in frustration. “I just woke up and if you're here to start bothering me about so many things, please don't start. I just want to lay here in peace and not think of the past, present, or the future.She gave me a naughty smile, piquing my curiosity on what she wanted to say.“What is it?”“There is a man waiting outside for you. I told him to wait in the back while I call you.”I rushed to my feet and headed for the window to see no one waiting as I heard a small laughter in the back.I turned to see my mum walking to a couch by the window to sit as she studied me like some lab exp
Julian’s povI looked around the dimly lit garden, quietly thinking of my answer. The scent of wet clouds came to my nose as I looked up to see it would soon rain. But I felt comfortable. I didn’t feel like leaving yet. “It was okay,” was all I could blurt out,He stopped in his steps as I turned to look at his shocked face.“That’s all you can say?”I shrugged. “What do you want me to say?”“I don’t know?” He said; coming to stand before me. “I expected more.”I looked at his lips which he licked and his eyes before looking down at his lips again. The atmosphere was just right. The things I felt inside were just what I felt the first time Silas and I had been in love.But this… this felt kind of different. I wanted so badly to make the most of today and to show him that I accepted to be his partner. But my heart kept tugging at me. I had been hurt one too many times. Getting into this situation again would mess me up. “You’re still reserved. I can tell,” he said, slowly placing a h
Julian’s povShe had an awkward smile on her face as she came close to the table to drop the box before walking out.“What is all this?” I asked as Carlos sighed while dropping down into a chair across my desk.“I’m trying to make a good impression. Is it working?”I didn’t even know what to say. Him being here with all of this was… a bit surprising to say the least.“How was your day? I want to know everything.”I cut the call and dropped my phone on the table. “What are you really doing here man?”“I’m here to see you, babe.”“No, don’t call me ‘babe.’ Just call me Jules or Julian. In fact, I don’t even know which one to answer anymore.”“That’s where ‘babe’ comes in, we’re in a relationship now. Let me just call you that.”“Nevermind that, just call me Jules. End it there. Babe is a bit too intimate.”He gave me a naughty smile. “Yesterday was quite intimate between the both of us.”“Okay. First off, no more sex jokes. And number two, do not talk about what happened yesterday. It
Julian’s povI entered my house and then found my mom talking to the butler. It seemed like she was asking him questions based on who the visitor who had arrived was. She saw me and then she smiled at me.“Hey, good morning. How are you doing?”I wasn’t in the mood for her optimistic attitude, but I tried my best to return her smile“I’m fine, Mom. How are you?”She nodded. “I’m okay. I have to go to the hospital today and I want you to take me there.”That was impromptu. “What’s going on? Are you okay?”I was already starting to panic. Was something up with her that I wasn’t knowing about? I had been too absent from her to notice if she was sick or healthy.”“We haven’t spent enough time together, Jules. Ever since that court case, it’s like you’ve been avoiding me like a plague. Like I would say something and ruin your entire life.”I gave her a small sigh. A tired one. “Mom, I’m not avoiding you. I just don’t know what to say to you half the time.”“What’s that supposed to mean?” S
Julian’s povThe next morning, a knock came on my door as I sat up, my head banging with the sun rays not making it any better for me. I heard someone talking outside my door as I got up, wore my briefs hanging on a chair, seeing as I was naked, and I walked to the door. The moment I opened it, I found my butler there arguing with Carlos.I frowned.“What the hell are you doing here?” I asked him.He shrugged. “Sir, I’m really sorry I couldn’t stop him.”“ I came on my own,” Carlos said. He looked at the butler. “I’d like to talk to your boss alone now.”The butler then looked at me as I gave a small sigh. I was really having a heavy headache right now.“Why don’t you go downstairs and make us a drink? Possibly mine with coffee and his own made with poison. That would be great.”The butler was confused at what I said and looked to Carlos, who nodded at him.“I’m not taking anything, thank you.”The butler nodded and walked out.“Can we talk?” Carlos said.“What do you want, Carlos?
