Title: Someone Like You
AN: Hello ladies! I know, a week without updating - I apologize. Work's been busy, not to mention the normal family drama (normal for my family anyway) - and I just haven't had time. I really appreciate all the great feedback on the last chapter. Not as many 'hot' scenes in this chapter, but hopefully you ladies will enjoy it nonetheless. Let me know your thoughts. And I'm going to do my best to update a little quicker with the next chapter (as long as life doesn't get in the way :D ). So, thanks again and enjoy!!!

Julie groans, the sound of a phone ringing in another room waking her up. She slowly opens her eyes, the weight of Tim's arm thrown across her waist quickly reminding her where she is. In his bed – where she'd luckily been all night.
She lifts her head to look at the alarm clock, seeing that Sunday morning is almost gone. Slowly, as not to wake him, she twists her body around to face him, propping her head on her hand as she looks over his sleeping form. Her gaze slowly drifts over him, taking the chance to really look at him and admire all that tanned muscle.
The man was beautiful. There was no other word for it. He had called her beautiful last night, but Julie couldn't help but think that word was better suited for him.
And good in bed. Correction – great in bed, Julie thinks with a smirk. Tim had moves that Julie had heard about but never experienced. There were a few times last night that Julie felt sure they were going to catch the sheets on fire.
While the sex had been great, there was almost a sweetness to it as well. There had been so much emotion, feelings Julie hadn't spoken, nor had Tim, but both were aware of.
Needing to touch him, she reaches out and places her hand gently on his chest, running her fingers over the smooth skin, smiling as she sees his eyes slowly fluttering open.
Tim opens his eyes as he wakes up slowly, a smile covering his face as he sees Julie looking down at him.
"Mornin'." He says sleepily, placing his hand over hers, halting the movement of her fingers over his chest.
"Mornin'." She says quietly, repeating his words as she smiles down at him.
"Sleep good?" He asks, his voice sounding gravelly and beyond sexy, causing Julie to shiver as she bites her lip.
She nods. "You?" She asks with a grin.
"Pretty damn good." He drawls, wrapping his hand around the back of her neck and pulling her down across his chest, bringing them almost face to face. "Pretty damn good." He mutters again, brushing his lips against her forehead as he closes his eyes.
They lay like that for several seconds, Julie sprawled over his chest as he has one arm around her waist, the other cupping her neck as his lips rest against her forehead.
"You okay?" He asks quietly, opening his eyes as she leans up to look at him.
"Never been better." Julie says softly, giving him a sweet smile, and meaning each word.
"No regrets?" He asks.
Julie shakes her head as she takes in his smirk, but also detecting the small sense of uncertainty in his eyes. How could she possibly have regrets? It was without a doubt the best night of her life thus far.
"Not a one." She says sincerely. "How 'bout you?"
"Not a one either." He says meeting her gaze, squeezing her neck gently. "Well, other than maybe doin' it a few more times last night. We should have tried for double digits." He says with a smirk, laughing as she pinches him playfully on his chest.
"Yeah, and I wouldn't be able to walk today." Julie says with a laugh.
"Walking's overrated." He says with a chuckle, as he pulls her lips down to meet his in a kiss.
Tim groans loudly and Julie laughs as they hear a knock on his bedroom door.
"You've gotta be kiddin' me." He mutters quietly, causing Julie to giggle as she rolls off of him, pulling the sheet up to cover herself in case someone walks in.
"Hey Tim." Josh calls from the hallway. "Tim, you awake?"
"Shit." Tim mumbles, rolling out of bed and grabbing a pair of shorts lying on the floor. "This isn't funny." He says to Julie as she continues to giggle, unable to keep the grin off of his face as he looks at her.
She shrugs. "He's your friend." She says with smirk.
Tim shakes his head, yanking the door open and blocking the doorway just as Josh is about to knock again. "What Curly?"
"Hey!" Josh says quickly, taking a step back. "Good mornin'. Sorry to bother you man. Were you and Julie already up?"
"How'd you know Julie's here?" Tim asks, running his fingers through his hair, intentionally blocking Josh's view of his bed. He'd rather not have Josh ogling Julie's naked sheet-covered body. That was for Tim's eyes only.
"Because I heard her a few times during the night. She's a moaner, that's for sure." Josh says with a laugh, nodding his head at Tim.
Tim smirks, leaning back around the door to look at Julie. He laughs as he sees her face turning red as she covers her head with the sheet, groaning as she falls back on the bed.
"Don't be embarrassed, Julie." Josh calls out. "I'm sure most of the neighbors were passed out drunk after the win, so they probably didn't hear." He says teasingly.
"Shut up, Josh." Julie says loudly from her spot under the sheet.
Tim chuckles, turning back to his friend. "What'd you want, Curly? I got a hot woman in my bed, so it better be damn good."
"Oh yeah. Jared called and invited us over this afternoon. He's having some of the guys over for an impromptu pool party. It's probably the last weekend it'll be hot enough to swim before fall officially sets in." Josh says in a rush.
"Who all's goin'?" Tim asks.
"I don't know. He said he had already called a few of the other guys on the team." Josh says with a shrug. "I already called Liza, she's on her way over here. And I called Landry too. He and Tyra are gonna meet us there."
"I don't have my swimsuit." Julie says, reappearing out from under the sheet.
"Liza's bringing your swimsuit and a change of clothes." Josh says loudly. "And she said to tell you congratulations on finally gettin' some."
Tim chuckles quietly. "We'll be ready in a bit." He says quickly, shutting the door in Josh's face before making his way back over to the bed.
"Are we gonna have to listen to sex jokes about us all day?" Julie says with a groan as Tim lies back down beside her.
"Probably." He drawls, grinning devilishly. "But ain't it worth it?" He asks, leaning over and touching his lips to hers.
She pulls back with a grin. "Definitely." She whispers, kissing him again.

Julie is all smiles later that afternoon as she, Liza, and Tyra sit along the edge of the pool, their legs floating in the water. The cool water a welcome feeling as they sit in the hot Texas sun.
After arriving at the pool party, Julie had realized that they were at the same house that they had came to for the party after the Longhorns first win. Julie had admired the large pool, complete with waterfall, that night and was glad that she was finally getting a chance to try it out.
"Julie, come on! I need details. I mean, you and Tim – that's hot!" Liza hisses loudly, kicking water playfully up at Julie.
Julie groans, shaking her head at her friend. "Liza, I'm not gonna go into details, okay? We slept together. Yes, it was hot." She says with a grin. "End of story."
"That's it? You're not gonna tell me more than that?" Liza asks quickly.
"Drop it, Liza." Tyra says. "I personally do not want to hear all about Julie and Tim having sex. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for yah Jules – you needed it, hell you both did. But I don't need to hear the details, Liza."
"Thank you." Julie says, giving Liza a look.
"Oh wow. You know what I just thought of? Out of the three of us, I'm the only one who hasn't had sex with Tim." Liza says with a giggle.
Julie laughs at the disgusted look on Tyra's face.
"Don't remind me." Tyra mutters, making a face that causes the girls to laugh even harder as she too joins in.
The girls' laughter quickly changes to a squeal, as out of no where Landry jumps over their heads and into the pool, splashing them heavily with water.
"Hey!" Julie yells, laughing as she wipes the water from her face.
"Hello ladies." Landry says with a laugh as he surfaces from underneath the water.
"Do you have a death wish?" Tyra asks with a straight face.
"Come on, baby. You know I'm just kidding." Landry says with a grin.
Julie laughs, standing up to stretch her legs, jumping as she feels someone grab her from behind.
"Where you goin', Taylor?" Tim asks, tightening his arms around her waist.
"To dry off. Your buddy down there just about drowned us." Julie says with a grin, turning in his arms to face him.
"Don't look too wet to me." He says giving her a slow once over, admiring her bikini curves. "In fact, I think you look a little warm. You might need to take a dip." He says mischievously, easily lifting her up off the ground.
"Tim! Don't you dare." Julie says seriously, trying her best to break his hold and get her feet back on the ground.
Tim laughs quietly as he wiggles his eyebrows playfully, tightening his arms around her as he jumps into the pool with Julie in his arms.
Julie comes up sputtering, opening her eyes to find Tim and the rest of the group laughing loudly. She splashes him with water, the action only causing his grin to get even bigger.
"You're dead, Riggins." Julie says with a laugh, swimming slowly toward him.
"Bring it on, Taylor." Tim challenges, laughing as Julie jumps on him, trying her best to dunk him under the water.
But her small frame is no match for Tim's muscular one, she soon finds out as try as she might, she can't get him under.
Julie sighs, momentarily giving up as she tries to catch her breath, resting her arms around Tim's neck as he leans back against the edge of the pool, supporting both of their weight.
"You givin' up?" He asks with a smirk.
"Not hardly." She says quickly. "I'll get you when you least expect it." She says with a smirk of her own.
Tim chuckles, leaning in to give her a quick peck on the lips. "We'll see about that."
"How 'bout a game of chicken?" Josh asks enthusiastically, to which everyone quickly agrees.
There are lots of laughs as they all take turns fighting one another, the girls perching on the guys' shoulders as each battles to knock the other one off and into the water.
Julie manages to throw Liza off easily, but battles for a while with Tyra. Tyra was much stronger than her, but Tim was much better than Landry at holding her up and keeping her steady.
There are even more laughs as the guys decide to try and sit on the girls' shoulders, quickly finding that doesn't work nearly as well.
The game quickly goes from just the six of them playing, to several other guys and girls joining in as well. It's not long before the entire pool party has become one big battle, with everyone laughing and cheering loudly.
A few hours later, Julie is still laughing as she and Tim finally make their way out of the pool. Julie stops along the edge, wringing the water out of her long hair as Tim steps over and grabs a couple of towels from a nearby chair.
"Here." He says, holding a towel out to her as he runs his own towel over his wet hair.
"Thanks." She says with a grin, rubbing the towel briskly over her arms. "That was fun."
"Yeah. It was." He agrees, giving her a smirk. "Have I mentioned how hot you look in that swimsuit?" He drawls, wrapping his towel around her and pulling her closer.
Julie laughs, rubbing her body against his slowly. "Yeah, a few times." She says, placing her hands on his damp chest.
"Cause you do. Look hot that is." He says with a smirk, leaning down to kiss her lips.
"Thanks." Julie mumbles against his lips. "You look hot too. So hot in fact, that you look like you need to take a dip." She says quickly, shoving him back into the pool.
Julie laughs at the surprised look on his face as he falls back into the water, still laughing as he resurfaces and swims over to the edge.
"I told you I'd get yah when you were least expectin' it." Julie says with a grin, taking a step back so that he can't grab her and pull her in.
Tim laughs, easily pulling himself up and out of the pool. "That was damn sneaky, Taylor." He says, shaking the water off of his body and hair.
"Well, I told you I would get yah." She says with giggle. "So, I gotcha."
Tim smirks, grabbing her before she can run off and pulling her into his arms for a hard kiss.
"Yeah, you got me, Jules." He says with a smirk, leaning his forehead against hers. "You got me good."
