NOTE: Forgive the long delay between posts, I truly am blank on what to do
with this story, unlike golden mask that was floating around in my mind for
a year or more. Also since it's taken SO LONG I've taken the time of the
story up to fit with the holidays so from September to December! Patience
please, I beg of you all! :o)
"Going stick side, going stick side." Julie said over and over in her mind as she watched Banks stickhandle back and forth quickly.
Banks traded a few short passes with Guy at the point before finally deciding to go charging to the net with it himself. He shot forward and so did Julie, at the last possible minute Julie poke checked it away and flung the puck down the ice.
"Nice move on that poke check." Banks smiled as he skated past her.
"I try." Julie smirked.
"Nice moves Julie the Cat." Orion called skating up to them.
"Thanks coach." Julie nodded.
"Good practice Ducks, now get out of here!" Orion cracked a slight smile and headed off.
"Nice moves Catlady." Goldberg smiled slapping Julie's pads as they headed for the door.
"Thanks Goldie, nice blocks out there. Looking great on defense." She smiled.
"I feel a lot better." Goldberg smiled patting his now much trimmer mid- section. "Who knew I could live without desert!"
"Hey who knew I could skate that fast wow I rule!" Averman said sitting down as they entered the locker room.
"See what happens when you remember to train in the summer?" Charlie stated tossing some tape at Averman who smiled but said nothing.
"Man my back is killing me." Luis complained sitting down.
"We're getting old." Jesse shook his head.
"Amen." Kenny grunted pulling his skates off.
They all took their various showers, and changed back into their street clothes and spilled out into the parking lot.
"I need a nap." Fulton yawned.
"It's eleven in the morning Fulton!" Julie laughed.
"I know, you sleepy too?" Fulton asked.
"No I'm not but thanks for asking." Julie shook her head.
"Anytime." He smiled and jogged off.
"You're very quiet today." Julie said looking over at Dean.
"Yeah sorry." He answered with a shrug.
"You ok?" She said looking with concern. "You're sort of limping."
"My knee is just acting up today." He said looking around.
"You're very jumpy too." She commented raising her eyebrow.
"You ever have those days where, for whatever reason you are just on edge? And there's no reason I mean nothing and you're all freaking out?" He asked as he opened the car door for her.
"Look who your talking too." Julie smiled looking at him.
"Good Point." He said finally flashing his smile.
"I am the queen of extreme panic!" She said with a smile as she sat down in her seat.
"So does that make me the king?" Dean asked turning the key and bringing the engine to life.
"We'll see." She smiled with a wink, which earned her a laugh.
They drove first to have an early lunch, then to get more books for their classes.
"Why am I taking this?" Julie muttered looking for a book.
"Because you have a thirst for knowledge?" Charlie said walking by.
"I like that answer." She nodded.
"Here this it?" Dean said walking up handing her a book.
"Yes, thank you." She sighed, "I'm done with mine, you ready?"
"Yeah let's go." He answered taking some of her books as they went.
"Awe carrying her books, so romantic." Charlie called.
"Conway I can still hurt you." Dean said glancing back slightly.
"Not if Julie says no." He smirked while Russ walked down an isle somewhere close by making whip noises.
"He's not whipped thank you, he can do whatever he wants!" Julie rolled her eyes and left.
"One day you guys will be somewhat close to where I am now, and if you're a real man you wont care what anyone else says." He left them with a smirk.
"He's so got it bad." Charlie laughed shaking his head.
A couple of hours later Julie was standing in her kitchen looking at the mess she'd just made.
"Jules?" She heard the maid call.
"Yeah?" Julie muttered.
"Here to clean up miss." The lady said cheerfully as she walked into the kitchen. "And obviously I should start in here!"
"I don't know what went wrong!" Julie said looking confused at the broken pot handle in her hand.
"I will take care of things, do not worry." The lady laughed.
"I think I'm going for a walk or something, thank you so much for the help!" Julie smiled then left the kitchen and her mess of spaghetti on the floor.
"Only me." Julie laughed as she shut the door, turned and walked towards the elevator, pushed the button and waited.
She rode the elevator down and walked threw the lobby smiling at the guards as she passed the desk, then threw the door.
"Need a lift somewhere miss?" The always on stand by limo driver asked politely.
"No actually I'm just going to call a friend, thank you." Julie smiled sitting down on the brick wall that surrounded the water fountain.
"Hum, ok Connie isn't answering so much for shopping. Humm.." She tilted her head in thought.
"Hey Juliet dreaming of me?" Luis asked as he slowed down his car.
"But of course my love." She smiled.
"You know you shouldn't be sitting out here alone, it's not safe." Luis said seriously.
"Oh I'm fine, I don't have a reason to worry much anymore!" She shrugged.
"Still it's not safe, can I drive you anywhere?" He asked.
"Actually yeah I guess so, I was going to go shopping with Connie but she's not answering, and since Dean is off doing something I guess I can just shop alone." She decided.
"Alone, why never! I shall be very honored to accompany you to the land of fashion!" He said holding out his hand threw the window in dramatic form.
Julie glanced over at the limo driver looking at Luis as if he were insane, "Don't worry he isn't always like that." She called then jogged around and got into the car.
"No I'm normally much worse!" Luis called then sped off.
Several items of clothes and hours later Julie and Luis sat in the middle of the mall at the food court watching the people stroll by. Ok so Luis was looking at the girls and flirting like no tomorrow, while Julie sat off in thought.
"Smile!" Someone called and snapped a picture of them both quickly.
"What?" Julie said looking around.
"That's a Kodak moment if ever I saw one." Averman laughed insanely sitting down.
"Shopping without me? I'm hurt." Connie said looking threw Julie's bags.
"Hey I called you, you didn't answer!" Julie said in defense.
"My fault, I broke her phone." Guy said looking sheepishly.
"Yes he did, but I will get another soon." Connie smiled.
"Where's your shadow?" Averman asked looking around.
"She ran off with me, it was only a matter of time you know." Luis flashed his typical smirk.
"Dean's busy, working on that motorcycle I bet." Julie smiled.
"What motorcycle?" Averman asked.
They all stopped at stared at him.
"I don't get it. OH! I know the bike, yeah he's working on that thing again." Averman nodded smiling and taking over Julie's leftover french fries.
"He spends more time with that thing then you!" Connie laughed.
"He's proud of restoring that thing, it's his toy." Guy answered then smiled devilishly. "Well besides Julie of course."
"Very cute." Julie shook her head and laughed then reached for her ringing phone. "Safe to come home now?" She asked laughing.
She spoke a moment longer then stood up picking up her bags.
"Luis can you give me a lift home?" She asked then shook her head watching him off staring at a blonde.
"We'll drop you off." Guy laughed.
"Bye Romeo." She smirked walking by getting only a quick smile and a wink from Luis.
"He's hopeless." Connie shook her head.
"Yeah he is." Julie laughed.
Julie waved at them threw the glass doors and started back towards the elevator. She leaned back aginst the wall as she slowly went skyward and closed her eyes. She was off in la la land when she felt the elevator suddenly beginning to slow then stop earlier then it should. The doors opened and a man stepped on and gave her a small nod before pushing the button for the floor below hers.
She found it strangely important to stare discreetly at this man; he was quite tall around six foot three maybe. Dark brown almost black hair looked quite British and very well dressed. His floor came and he walked off and turned to the left.
"Ok Julie, not everyone from Britain who dresses nice and looks like that is a spy like bond." She giggled and picked up her bags as the elevator made its stop. She walked threw the door.
"I'm back." She said dropping her bags and shutting the door.
She still looked around in awe at the living room with it's rich colored sofas (burgundy no less) drapes of matching material, the fireplace all ablaze, the lovely mantel with two tiny golden horse statues on either end, with a painting of a vineyard hung over it. The bookshelves were lined with books, and illuminated with lights.
"It's still amazing!" Julie sighed.
"Welcome home Miss Julie, everything is taken care of now. I'll see you next week?" She asked.
"Actually I'm going home next week, and I meant to give you the notice of that. I'm sorry all these silly tests and hockey games have me distracted." Julie smiled walking over to the desk and picking up an envelope. "So here's your pay check for the next several weeks, plus a little extra."
"You are to kind miss." The maid said surprised.
"Just enjoy your time off, I'll call and get things scheduled when I return." Julie said giving her a hug and getting her sent on her way.
"Off to my Tuscan villa." Julie said jogging to her bedroom.
The room, mostly dominated by the huge wooden bed which was weathered down to look centuries old, with a carry over from her room at home in Maine; sheers tied around giving the bed a regal and whimsical feel. Rich wine colored curtains covered the windows to her right, a new amour hiding the tv and various machines sat on the wall at the end of her bed it to distressed to be old.
Julie tossed out a few outfits from the closet then jogged back into the living room to get her bags. She thought she heard the elevator and went over and opened the door leaving Dean standing there hand in air about to knock on the door. He instead knocked lightly on her forehead.
"Anyone home?" He asked.
"Yes always, unlike some people." Julie answered with a small smile.
"Amusing." He smiled.
"I certainly am." She smirked and began picking up her bags.
"I know about your little fling with Latin boy this afternoon. You have a lot of splanin to do Lucy." He flashed his devastating smile.
"Eeeee.." Julie said sounding very Lucy like, then smiled handing him some of the bags.
"Buy the entire place?" He asked sitting stuff on her bed.
"No sadly, I got tired quickly." She said pulling open a box.
"Hard to tell." He smiled flopping across the bed.
"Yeah well." She said looking threw some bags. "Bike coming along?"
"So far so good, still messing up a bit." He shrugged.
"I'm sure you'll get it working in no time." She smiled, "Oh hey I wanted to ask you something."
"What's that?" He said looking at a hat she'd bought.
"Why don't you come home with me for Christmas? Maybe bring your family?" She asked.
"I don't know about that one Jules." Dean sighed.
"I'm guessing you mean about bringing your family." She said walking over and sitting at the foot of the bed.
"I've told you how they get sometimes, it's just drama big time with them." He muttered.
"So how about a swing threw Chicago see them for a few days and either you can come with me to Maine or stay a few days longer and maybe come later? At least come before New Years, or else I'll come back to Chicago." She said looking hopeful.
"What is with you and New Years?" He laughed sitting up.
"Just a quirk I have ok?" She said bashfully.
"Spill it." He commented narrowing his eyes.
"Just some old saying I heard somewhere, in a movie or something I don't know where actually." She said getting a thoughtful look on her face.
"Quit stalling, and tell me. Or I'll have to tickle it out of you and I know you do not want that." He responded smiling.
"Ok all right. It's just that saying was that whoever you were with at midnight on New Years you'd be with threw out the year. So I just want to make sure I'm with you ok." She sighed and added, "Now let your ego begin to grow."
"You know, I think I heard that somewhere too." He said thoughtful, "Embarrassed to admit you want to be with me are you?" He taunted.
"Well honestly I mean look at you biker boy." She smirked then took off running with him right behind her.
"Ok, ok! Mercy!" She yelled from behind the sofa.
"Mercy? What's that again?" He asked wickedly.
"Dean I mean it!" She giggled.
"Oh I know you do." He laughed.
A knock at the door came just in time.
"Lucky, your lucky my love." Dean smirked before walking to the door. "Well hello." He said opening the door.
"Your being nice to me, I'm gonna die now right?" Luis asked.
"Maybe so, you go out with my Jules today?" Dean questioned.
"Yes I did, we shopped, we ate, we drank, it was wonderful. You need to disappear more often." Luis laughed.
"Can't do that sorry." He said letting him in.
"You left this in my car." Luis said holding up her cell phone.
"I didn't even know I'd lost it, thanks Luis!" Julie smiled taking the phone.
"No problem, gotta go." Luis said heading back to the door.
"Leaving me so soon?" Julie asked acting hurt.
"I fear I have someone waiting for my attention in the car, however she is nothing compared to you my heart's desire!" He said while on one knee holding her hand.
"You two are just sick." Dean shook his head walking towards the kitchen.
"The blonde from the mall?" Julie asked.
"No, she was a snot honestly. This girl is a red head full of fire!" Luis smirked.
"Nice going loverboy, see you tomorrow." She laughed standing now at the door.
"Bye Jules." He waved then stepped on the elevator.
Julie leaned back on the sofa checking the calls she'd missed. A couple from Meg, one from Daniel's cell phone and a couple from Connie she'd missed earlier, and one number she didn't know.
"Hey Dean?" She asked walking into the kitchen.
"Mmm?" He answered with a mouth full of food.
"You didn't call my cell from a bike shop or anything did you?" She asked.
"No why?" He said quickly getting a drink.
"Just don't know this number, oh well probley wrong number or something." She shrugged.
"I'll just come with you to Maine, unless you just want to waste two days meeting my insane family." Dean said taking her cell phone and looking at the number.
"Sure you don't want to see them?" She asked.
"They are only going to be in Chicago for a couple of days, Mom is going to Canada with Mark to spend the holidays with his family. So Jacob's going with them would be kind of pointless to fly there spend a few hours then go to Maine. Would be better after the holidays to see them." He shrugged handing her the phone. "Just give the number to Fulton let him hack it up on the net see where it's from."
"Yeah ok." She nodded. " So to Maine we go?"
"To Maine we go." He smiled, "Now give me back my food woman."
"Pig." She smiled giving him back his sandwich.
"Oink." He quipped with a wink.
"I do love you piggy." She smiled patting him on the head, "Now I'm going to pack." She smiled then headed out the door.
"Love you too! Even if you do cheat on me with the Spanish Shakespeare!" She heard him yell, causing her to giggle all the way to her room.
Note: Again sorry for the delay, I'm still blank on what to do I don't know when a new chapter will come. This one sucked but it sort of got it moving, slightly! Least I still have Shakespeare and I love Lucy!
"Going stick side, going stick side." Julie said over and over in her mind as she watched Banks stickhandle back and forth quickly.
Banks traded a few short passes with Guy at the point before finally deciding to go charging to the net with it himself. He shot forward and so did Julie, at the last possible minute Julie poke checked it away and flung the puck down the ice.
