Thank you for the reviews!!
Special thanks to Elke, who keeps pushing me to write this P hahahaha
"Where were you last night?"
Kristin woke Julie out off her day dream. She blinked quickly and looked at her friend, who patiently waited for a reply with a tray supported on her hips. "Out." Julie finally answered.
"Where?"
"Why?"
"God, you're crankier than usual. Is everything alright?"
"Yeah. Table five wants an espresso." Julie soon got the order finished and handed it to Kristin so she'd stop asking questions. The girl shot Julie a low five look before walking away.
Crap. She had made up her mind, she'd never see him or his crew again. That decision, she had taken yesterday evening, when he dropped her off. But as soon as she got indoors, she had run up the stairs to her apartment, wanting to see if he was still there. When their eyes locked, her looking through her window, him in his car, her good intentions, had gone down the drain. How could a quick glance, mess her head up like that? She didn't dare to think she'd seen through his tough façade, he didn't have such, Billy Darley was bad, period. Every story has two sides, this being no exception. The fact that he is a bad ass, only made him more appealing, more attractive. A side of her wanted to get into this, into his world, into him.
"Julie!" Ally half yelled. Julie jumped, looking up her friend wide eyed.
"What?"
"I've been standing here for ages and tried to get your attention for about four minutes!"
"Sorry, I got distracted."
"I noticed."
She ignored her friend statement, she had to. "What do you need?"
"It's a different kind of request." Ally smirked and Julie looked at her puzzled. "Here." She handed Julie a folded paper, a knowing smile on her lips. "Sorry, couldn't resist. I had to read it."
Julie's reply came only after she read the note. "What?" She asked in disbelief.
"Isn't that awesome!?" Ally giggled. "It's perfect!"
Julie shook her head, knocking Ally's smile off her face. "I'll be right back." She said quickly before running upstairs to her apartment.
"So, how's dad?" Joe asked sarcastically while he threw himself on his older brother's couch.
Billy simply shot him a dirty look in response. "The same, I suppose."
Joe looked up at him, but he kept staring out of the window. "So…" He started casually, playing with a drum stick, really determined on starting a chat with his hot headed brother. Unconsciously, he tried to take some of the weight off of Billy's back. Knowing his brother always had the responsibility of the entire planet on his back after meeting up with their father. "What are your plans with Hottie?"
Again, Joe didn't get a verbal response. Instead, Billy fiercely glared at him before storming to his room and slamming the door closed. So much for a brotherly talk.
Julie stared at the piece of paper on the coffee table, and it stared back at her. It was firstly, an apology for the ridiculous way in which it was asked, secondly, an invitation for dinner sometime. With Mark. The hospital being a crazy place to work at, he had handed it to Ally when she dropped off the coffee the previous evening. Julie couldn't deny she had tiny butterflies twirling around in her stomach while facing him. Mark is handsome, really committed and successful on the job, gentle and last but not least, respectful. But…
This shouldn't even make Julie hesitate. She knew it. If there was one guy she had no doubts about, it was the doctor. But after that damn glance through the window, the butterflies also flew for someone else. Again, the other side of the story popped up.
Somehow, she knew their paths would cross again, and Julie found herself willing for it to happen. Yet she couldn't ignore the part that he happened to be a gang leader who made a living by killing people, as ironic as it sounds. Billy is an incognito: sometimes represented danger, sometimes safety. Sometimes he cared, sometimes he didn't. He could be sweet, he could be rude. His mood could change as quick as a flick of a finger, he could be anything at any time.
Her sigh came from the tip of her toes, so heavily did it feel, and dropped her head on the couch. Just to raise it again, less then a minute later, as her cell phone vibrated in the back pocket of her trousers.
"Hello."
"Hi Julie! It's Mark."
Her eyes widened. "Hey. How are you?"
"Tired." He chuckled. "I'm on my little break and thought about giving you a call." As she didn't say anything, he kept going. "I was wondering… did you get my note?"
"Yes, Ally handed it to me."
"And…?"
She took a deep breath. "Mark, look… I'd love to go out for dinner with you, but some other time. I'm just not quite ready. I know you're nice guy, maybe you're even too nice. For me, you know." She made sure to make clear he wasn't the problem at all.
"Oh." He sounded clearly disappointed. Julie opened her mouth to say something else but he cut her off. "I'm not gonna give up, you know. I'll wait."
"Mark, I don't…"
"It's ok Julie." He gently interrupted. "They're calling for me. Take care of yourself."
"You too."
Julie flipped her cell phone shut and tossed it on the couch before walking out of the door. She should be working, that'd keep her mind busy. Or not.
"That's bullshit Jamie and you know it!" Heco teased Jamie about something, making the rest of the crew that sat around the same table, laugh.
"Ok. Ok! Stop with that fucking stupidity!" Bodie complained, laughing his head off. "Let's get down to business."
"What's up?" Tommy asked, leaning heavily into the back of his chair.
"The bet." Bodie smirked and all the guys, except for Billy, exclaimed. Joe curiously observed his brother's expression, finding it unreadable.
"Yeah Billy! How's it going?" Baggy asked interested. Everyone was interested, after all, they had put money down on this.
Billy smirked. "Is that even a fucking question? I'm just teasing her, making her impatient. Nothing like a woman who's desperate." All the boys laughed.
"What about the other night, was she ok with that thing?" Baggy asked.
"After my comforting shoulder, sure, little Julie felt great." Everyone laughed again, except for Billy. He didn't notice, but Joe eyed him suspiciously.
"You do realize that your time is almost up, yeah?"
"What?" He turned his head into Spink's direction.
"Man, we made a deal. Tomorrow's your last day."
Billy grinned. "I can have her whenever I want. Matter of fact, I'm on my way now. Prepare to open your wallets, girls."
"Hey! We want proof!" Bodie stated, the others nodded agreement.
"You fucking want me to record it?" Billy angrily asked.
"Fuck no! A pic is enough."
"You fucking dirty punks!" Billy cursed, grabbing his red leather jacket and walking out of the Four Roses.
As he got into the car, reality hit him. He was nowhere near to getting her. He started the engine, making his plan. He'd use that irresistible charm everyone knew he possesses.
Billy and his crew ignored one little disturbing factor, Ashley had heard every single word of their conversation.
"Julie! Open the door!" Kristin yelled outside the Falcon, banging on the door.
"Hey. Shouldn't you be on your way to the hospital now?" Julie held the cloth she used to clean the tables with.
"Yes, but I forgot my keys."
"Oh right." Julie let her in to get what she needed, then yelled a goodbye to her.
A soft rock song played in the background as Julie put the cleaned chairs up on the tables. She muttered the lyrics along with the music, as she did every night.
"You should learn to lock the door." A husky voice said behind her, making her jump in surprise, holding her chest.
"Hell! And you should learn to knock." She handily replied, taking her eyes off him. This couldn't be happening, he wasn't supposed to be here and she was supposed to get him out.
"So, what you doing?" He asked casually, sitting down on one of the chairs still on the floor.
"Dancing." She grinned sarcastically.
The damn attitude. Fuck, when had she become that irresistible? He showed off an amused smirk. "I'd love to see that."
She looked at him annoyed, shaking her head. "We're closed. What are you doing here?"
"I didn't come here for coffee." He got up from his chair and slowly started to walk towards her.
Julie froze in place, her heart beating like a racehorses after racing down the homestretch. Damn, when had he become so sexy? He was supposed to be scaring her, not tempting! "Then what did you came here for?" She forced herself to ask, her voice merely cracked.
He stood still in front of her and grinned, looking down at her. Their eyes locked, neither able to look any other way. "I came here for something way more appealing than coffee." His low husky voice echoed inside her head. She suddenly felt tremendously weak. He felt just how badly he wanted to have her in every single way.
Julie stepped backwards and turned to escape. She took up her defence behind the counter, cleaning the sink that had already been cleaned earlier. Her hand moving way too fast for someone who pretended to remain calm in any kind of situation. Yet her breathing quickened with every passing second, betraying her.
"Why are you running away from me?" Julie half jumped. The only thing between them was the counter. He leaned over it, his face inches away from hers.
"I'm not running away," she stated, "I'm working."
He looked down and chuckled. "That sink seems pretty clean to me."
"Judging by where you like to hang out, I wouldn't expect any different of you." She kept rubbing the cloth on the already shiny surface.
Billy laughed. Her sarcasm mixed with her sincerity made her look somewhat divine on his eyes, he couldn't hold this game for very long. Every inch of his body begged him to do what he came for. His mind said the same, without even remembering the bet with his fellas.
Julie angrily frowned and glared at him, irritated that he made fun of her. Her burning eyes now didn't miss what they had missed before, his teeth perfect and white, his lower lip slightly bigger than the upper one and she craved to taste him.
He placed a warm large hand on her moving one, to stop it. She looked up at him, she didn't know how he had gotten beside her so quickly and without her noticing. She instantly jerked her hand back. Her brain told her to call the cops, to make him go away. Her heart, along with her body, begged for something very different and wanted it to start. She had no idea which would prove the strongest.
As he stood in front of her, each hand holding the counter's edge, locking her between his arms, she had a pretty good idea of which one was winning. Her heart couldn't beat any faster. She didn't know, but he felt just like her, hungry, needy. He bent his head to kiss her and she made a final lame attempt to escape his tempting embrace.
He grinned. "I don't bite…" His mouth moved near her ear and he whispered in a low sexy voice that had her knees secretly shaking. "Only if you ask."
There was no escaping any more. He tried to kiss her again and she gave in. Everything started to burn from that point on, the kiss hungry, long and extremely shameless. He held her tightly, his hands on her hips, her hands held his shoulders. Billy lifted her up, positioning her on the sink. Julie wrapped her long legs around his burning well build body. As if possible, their kiss deepened even further.
Billy leaned her over, the small of her back landing on the sink's tap. The cold metal collided with her warm skin, sending wild shivers down her spine. He felt her shivering against him and he almost shivered in response. This encounter turned out to be better than both had ever imagined, they could barely wait to take the next step.
His goatee tickled her soft skin as he placed kisses on her neck, her head jerked backwards. His fingers trailed underneath her top and started to lift it, but she stopped him.
"Afraid?" He grinned at her, his chest heaving of his struggle to breath.
"Upstairs." She managed to say before his lips came crashing back onto hers. Her legs gripped tightened around his body as he lifter her from the sink and started walking towards the stairs. Their journey upstairs got interrupted by a couple of near falls followed by heatened kisses They didn't stop touching for a second.
He finally lowered her feet to the floor, standing in front of her door. She twisted the handle and lead him indoors, he kicked the door shut. He didn't stop to look around to see what her apartment looked like, his body didn't give him time, it only eyed the bedroom. He ripped their clothes off, all the time directing her to her bed, that was when fun began.
Stir me up, stir me up
Make it hot, make it naughty
Stir me up, me up

Tonight I gotta have you by my side

Oh boy, are you man enough for me
Do just what ya gotta do

Oh boy, let me take a bite in you
Stir Me Up - Hadise
