Julian

𝐋𝐀🇺🇸

He's always been quite the gentleman. I mean, when you first moved in to the apartment; he helped you with your boxes, he carried fixed up your things so you didn't have to call a professional, he stopped by every day just to say hi. it was casual.

The man in question is Julian Russo. Beautiful, was the word many women would describe him as. Not you tho, as much as you appreciated his help, you were on the colder side. You didn't push him away, but you didn't exactly welcome him openly either.

He never stopped showing up though.

You and Juliab talked for months. He got to know a lot of interesting things about you, and you the same for him.

You couldn't deny you enjoyed his company though. he had become a best friend to you. Two years passed, Julian was 32, you were 29.

You were very comfortable with Julian at this point.

He often joked and sublty flirted around. it was all harmless at first, till one day, while you both were out on a picnic together for a chill day, talking led to a quiet, quiet almost led to a kiss. almost.

Neither of you even knew what to do. it's been awkward since then. you both shyed away from each other for a while, trying to process that afternoon that what could have been, happened.

The sink in your apartment and some other pipes were overflowing! it was the middle of the night too, at around 2am. You really didn't want to sleep while your apartment overflowed.

You sucked up your pride, took your phone and charger, and went to Julian's apartment, which was directly a door across from yours. He opened, he didn't look sleepy. he was shirtless and in some pajama pants. He looked down at you, grinning from ear to ear.

he accepted though, he let you in. You guys watched a movie together, then decided to go lay down. he led you to his bed in which you laid next to him. you talked and talked, both laying on your back. You shifted positions to rest on your elbow. This man was still shirtless but damn..

You were also in some night wear type clothes. silk shorts and a tank top.

Julian also tested on his elbow, facing you now. quiet fell yet again, it was comfortable this time

"You know, you look really pretty"
