CHAPTER 11: The Agreement

I raised my hand, pointing a shaky finger at Julian. "W-What are you doing? J-Julian... Stop right there!" I exclaimed, trying to sound firm despite the tremble in my voice. But Julian just kept coming, his eyes glinting with amusement. I gasped, my eyes widening as I lost my balance and tumbled backward onto the bed. My wet clothes slipped from my grasp, scattering across the floor. I scrambled to sit up, but before I could, Julian landed on top of me, his body caging me in. I felt a surge of panic as his smirk hovered inches from my face. "J-Julian..." I whispered, trying to push him away. But he didn't budge. Instead, he teased, "Why are you scared of me now when you kept on staring at my body a while ago, huh?" I wriggled and squirmed, trying to escape his grasp, but Julian held firm.

Rubbing my eyes, I turned to the window, where a sliver of light peeked through the gap between the curtains. I squinted at the clock, my eyes narrowing as I took in the time: 7:46. My gaze dropped to my phone, and I scrolled through the messages. Julian's name flashed on the screen, and my heart skipped a beat as I read his message: "I'll come pick you up at 9:00, be ready by then." My eyes widened as I realized the time. I had just over an hour to get ready. Panic set in, and I scrambled out of bed, my feet pounding the floor as I rushed to the bathroom. I flung open the door, the mirror above the sink reflecting my frantic expression. "Shit!" I muttered to myself, already knowing it was going to be a chaotic day.~ I stood before the mirror, scrutinizing my reflection. The blue dress, a gift from my moth
