KARA’s POV
Later in the day, we got dressed and hit the road.

"Your music won't work in this car today," I said to him firmly.

"How about we listen to yours now and then mine on our way back?" He suggested and I grunted a response.

We drove by entertainment venues, trendy shops, art galleries, and restaurants serving every kind of cuisine any one could imagine, from Persian food to pizza.

Julian however insisted on us going to try some food.

"I hope you're gonna pay," I told him as I unbuckled my seat belt.

"Of course, what do you take me for?"

And before I knew it, we were seated facing each other, trying some great food. I hadn't even tried that type of food in that part of the city before.

"I think I'm having foodgasm right now," he said and rolled his eyes and licked his lips and I bit my lip to hide my amused smile. He was being overly dramatic right now.

It was a great place to catch some live jazz and we enjoyed every bit of it.

He also insisted that we go watch a comedy performance.He had this charm that was persuasive and would want you to do what he had in mind.

He wasn't being a jerk today, thank God.

I laughed till my belly hurt while we were at the comedy show. I saw him laughing too. His smile beamed like sun rays, illuminating the dark room.

His smile was identical with Joey's. Both had sparkling white perfect dentition.

I nudged him, "So you have teeth in there,"

He faced me and smirked. "Enjoy it while it lasts."

After we finished from there, we went to see one of the beaches.

"This is perfect!" He spread out his arms.

"There's lots even way better than this to visit," I told him. His eyes lit up.

"But not today, I need to go home now. I still got work to do." I quickly added.

"What a buzz kill. Come on, let's go home then"

I had a good time alright and did not even mind as his stupid song blasted the speakers on our way home. I couldn't remember the last time Joey and I spent time outdoors like that. He was always so busy and it was sad.

>>>>>

Few days passed with Julian being a pain in my butt. He was lazying about at home giving me a headache and I wanted to kick him in the throat.

Why did I have to be left alone with him?

It was day two of my period and I was still crankier than usual.

On that particular day, I could not get any writing done and it irritated me all the more.

I wanted to break my laptop screen. I hated when my memory was blank and I wondered where my brains went to.

What's more, Julian wouldn't stop hovering around me and pestering me.

"Just give me your laptop and let me take a look. Maybe I could help you out," he said and I scoffed.

"Help me? What do you even know about writing?You think its football?"

"I know a lot about writing actually. Swallow your pride and let me help you,"

I stared at him with my face set in a deep scowl.He was so annoying that I could slap his face right there and then.

"Okay, Mr know it all. Help me" I handed the laptop over to him. I watched him draw out a journal and pen down some stuffs.

In about ten minutes, he was done and he handed the journal to me as well as my laptop.

"You're welcome," he said and then he was gone.

I looked at what he had written very closely.

First, nice penmanship.

Second, wait all he had written actually made sense. Wait, a lot of sense.

He only created an outline of what I was to expatiate on myself and wrote a few key points and I was beyond surprised at his intelligence and flawless writing style.

This was great. He could totally be a writer! I didn't think he was interested in things like this. Joey was his opposite in that field because he believed it was boring and too stressful.

I wanted to thank him but he had left so I made a mental note to do that later or drop a thank you note.

Just then, my phone started beeping. It was from my elder brother, Dylan.

We weren't so far apart as he was barely two years older than me. And he was like, my best friend.

"Hey Dylan," I said the moment the line connected.

"Hi baby girl, how are you doing?" He was asking. His voice at the other end of the line sounded happy.

"Asides from my devilish cramps, I'm quite okay. You sound happy. What's up, dude?"

I heard him chuckle. "Yeah I am happy. I just got off from a date with my girl."

"Speaking of that, when am I meeting her?"

"Its supposed to be tomorrow. Have you forgotten?"

"Of course not, I was just joking"

I had totally forgotten.

I added, "Can't wait to finally meet this girl of your dreams you won't stop talking about."

"You'd love her just as much as I do, I assure you."

"Okay sir. I better do," I replied picking at the hem of my blouse.

"How's your husband and the new boy?"

"It sounds weird when you call him that," I snorted a laughter. "You make it sound like he is a houseboy or something."

"Sorry, my bad. The non identical annoying twin?"

"Ha that's better. Joey's at work as usual and Julian's fine too."

"That's great. I hope you're doing alright.I am really concerned about you”

There was a tone of concern in his voice.

"Yeah, I'm perfectly alright."

"I gotta hang up now. I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Sure thang. I love you, bye"

"Love you too, baby girl," he responded and there was a click.
