"I cannot believe this is my last morning in New York," Carrie says while getting up out of bed.
"I know, it sucks. It has been so nice having family here with me."
"Whatever, you liked it because you got a mini vacation from work!"
"Well, that, too!"
The girls make their way to kitchen.
Julianne opens her refrigerator door to try to figure something out for breakfast.
"How about… waffles, yogurt, and strawberries?"
"Oooo, that sounds so good!"
Julianne begins to make breakfast for the two of them while Carrie pulls a chair from the dining room into the kitchen.
"Annie, I was serious though. I will tell your family how amazing Harvey is. I really do like him. I think he's a perfect match for you."
Julianne smiles and continues to make the waffle batter.
"How'd you two start dating anyway? How'd it escalate to this?"
Julianne stops for a second and stares at her waffle batter. A smile sweeps across her face.
"It's hard to say really. It just started with lunches the occasional dinner and before I knew it, we were this; whatever this is."
"Well, I love you two. You two are so cute together. I love how he's rough around the edges and you are… the sweet one. It works for you two."
Julianne just laughs.
"Are you going to talk to him though? Tell him about how you are freaking out?"
"Maybe. We'll see how today goes. I don't want to push it, ya know?"
"Feeling like if you talk about it too much, it'll just go away?"
"Yeah, I don't want to beat the topic to death. I should be happy, I mean, I am happy that he cares for me. But I am just unsure of what to think of it all at times. He's married to his job; doesn't leave him much room to marry anything, anyone, else."
"Yeah…"
"Okay, enough talk about this. He's amazing, I'm amazing, and we're amazing as is. 'nuff said."
"Ready?" Julianne asks while grabbing her hand bag off her sofa chair.
"As ready as I'll ever be."
The two of them head down stairs and start their attempt to hail a cab.
After what feels like forever, they manage to flag one down and they head off to the airport.
"I'm excited to get back home. I miss your brother," Carrie says while taking in the sights for the last time.
"I don't blame you. I am glad that we found your dress though, what a wait lifted off your shoulders, right?"
"You're telling me. I will forever be grateful to you and Harvey. You're seriously the best."
They ride in silence until they reach the airport.
Julianne gets out of the cab long enough to help Carrie grab all her things.
"Thanks for coming, Carrie. I really have missed having another girl around to talk to."
"No Annie, thank you. I have had a blast here. You can call me anytime you want. I am here for you."
After Julianne hugs Carrie goodbye, she climbs back into the cab and heads back to her apartment.
On the way back to my place. Hurry over.
Julianne has been home for twenty minutes, and in those twenty minutes she has slipped on something more appropriate for her day with Harvey. When she left the house she had on jeans and her Berkley sweater; her hair was down and wavy. She now has on a pink, silk spaghetti strapped, night gown with her hair up in a messy bun.
Just around the corner. Be there in a few.
Harvey's text is a cue to pour the wine.
Julianne rushes to the door the second she hears Harvey's knock.
"Harvey!" she shouts as she throws her arms around his neck.
His's response is a long, slow, kiss.
"I poured us some wine. Come sit down."
They make their way to the sofa and take a seat. He picks up his wine glass and begins to make a toast.
"To finally having a moment to ourselves."
Julianne smiles as she clinks her glass against his.
"I was so excited for this afternoon that I didn't even tear up when I dropped Carrie off at the airport."
Harvey grins, "I couldn't focus in my meeting this morning with Jessica. She finally told me to come back tomorrow for it."
"That's so unlike you, Mr. Specter."
"It's unlike me to keep my hands off you."
Harvey leans in and begins kissing Julianne more aggressively than he did at the door.
"Is this new?" He asks lightly tugging on her night gown.
"Yeah," Julianne starts the kissing back up, then stops again, "do you like?"
"I'd like it a whole helluva lot better lying on floor."
Julianne sits back and pulls the night gown off of her body. She sits in front of Harvey with nothing but her panties on.
Harvey takes a second to soak it all in. Once he's reached his fill, he begins to lightly kiss her lips. Leaving her lips and making his way down to her breast. Julianne leans back while soft moans escape her mouth. Harvey starts kissing down her stomach and stops once he reaches her panties
"Don't stop, Harvey."
Harvey gets up and meets Julianne's lips, letting his hands take over where his mouth once was.
The minute his hands start tracing around her panties, she knew she has to have him right then and there.
Julianne reaches down and starts to undo his belt buckle.
"Just wait, let's focus on you for a bit."
Julianne smiles and releases her hands from his belt.
Harvey slips his hand into her panties.
Julianne starts to moan in Harvey's mouth.
Harvey falls into a rhythm that is making her moan louder by the second.
"Please. Don't. Stop," Julianne says in between kisses.
Harvey doesn't listen and stops. He sits back and starts to slip off her Panties.
Holding them in his hand he says, "These are starting to get in the way," and winks.
He places his body in between her legs and starts kissing her, then he begins to make his way down her stomach again.
He reached her belly button and looked up at her. She knew what he was about to do and hated that he was taking so long to do so.
"Harvey…," she couldn't even finish her thought because the touch of his mouth on her sent her to another place.
His tongue… he knows what he is doing with his tongue…
Her scream of ecstasy let's Harvey know that she has reached her orgasm.
"Oh my God… Mr. Specter… you have been holding out on me."
Harvey picks her up and carries her off to her bedroom.
He sets her down on her bed and she sits back up and starts to help him undress. His clothes are now laying haphazardly all around her room.
She leans back on the bed and parts her legs, inviting Harvey in. He falls onto her accepting her invitation. They both begin to moan.
"Harvey… oh Harvey...," Julianne starts getting lost in the moment.
They thrash around the sheets for a while longer until they both reach their ending point.
They lie together, intertwined in the sheets.
"That was incredible Harvey. Is it just me or was that best sex we ever had?"
Harvey rolls onto his side and faces her.
"It was pretty damn spectacular wasn't it?"
"Maybe there is something to this whole waiting thing."
Harvey immediately beings to argue that statement.
"No, I don't think so. Let's not find out. Waiting this long was tough enough."
Julianne laughs, "It was torture wasn't it?"
They begin kissing again.
"Round two?"
"You got it," Julianne answers without any protest what-so-ever.
After having fallen asleep after round number five, they both wake up.
"Food. I need food," Julianne says while sitting up in her bed.
"What time is it anyway?"
She glances at the clock on her night stand, "Holy shit, it's 7:14pm"
Harvey sits up and kisses Julianne.
"Day well spent."
"What should we have for dinner?"
"I don't know, but all I know is we can't go out to eat. I don't have any clothes other than my pajamas pants to put on. My suit is in a wrinkled mess all around your bedroom."
"Okay, how about I go out and grab us some Chinese food? It's fast and easy and right around the corner."
Harvey starts kissing her again. He pushes her back into the pillows. The passion starts to heat up again.
"Harvey, I'd love to do this again, but I really, really need some food."
"Fine… go get Chinese food and hurry back."
Julianne gets out of bed and puts on her jeans from earlier that day, and grabs a bra from out of her drawer.
"I'm going to wear your shirt by the way, I don't care if it is a 'wrinkled mess,' it smells like you and I love it."
"That's fine. I like the way you put on a bra, but no underwear."
"Yeah… well… if your shirt wasn't white I wouldn't have done that either."
She slips on his shirts and Harvey gets up to help her button it.
"Harvey…," I think I love you, "do you want soy sauce?"
He shakes his head and kisses her.
"This food hit the spot. I don't know if it was actually delicious or if I was just starving."
"I think it was a mixture of both," Harvey responds.
"Hey Juls, can I ask you something? Something about Carrie and your brother?"
"Yeah, go for it."
"How does that work for them? She's Mormon, right? Is he?"
Julianne sets her empty plate down on the coffee table.
"No, he isn't. He will be though. He's going to convert for her. It's kind of been a big thing between the families. Her parents weren't too pleased that she agreed to marry a non Mormon."
"But he's going to convert, so why get mad?"
"Because they are going to have two weddings, their first one will be the one we're going to in April. They want to be married right away and not have to wait for him to convert. So this wedding will be one that we all can go to. The second one will be at a temple and they will be sealed to each other. Her parents were just upset that they weren't going to be sealed right away."
"What does that mean any way?"
"Being sealed to one another means that they'll be together as a family in the afterlife, they're forever connected."
"Oh, I see."
"Yeah, but my brother will convert after their marriage. He's going through the process now. Learning the teachings and such, he does truly believe in it all. So, it's good I guess."
"You guess?"
"Yeah, I mean… it's really sweet of him; to give her religion serious consideration and then actually convert. Their love is incredible. I admire that."
Harvey sits in silence.
"What are you thinking Harvey?"
"Nothing just how big that change is for your brother. He must really love her."
A silence falls between them.
Tell him how you feel.
"Harvey, can I tell you something?"
"Sure."
"The other night, you told me you missed waking up next to me. What did you mean by that?"
"That's not telling me something, that's asking."
"Well, the telling comes in a second."
"It means what I said. I have missed having your by my side when I wake up in the morning. We don't always spend the night with one another, but knowing I couldn't was hard. I hated it."
"I told you once before Harvey, you can't say nice things like that to me. I may take them in ways you don't mean."
"How could you possibly take that in a way I don't mean?"
"You say that you like having me by your side, yet you say you're married to your job. You come over here and we spend hours having sex, and you makes me smile like no one else ever has, but I am so unsure of where I stand with you. I am falling in love with you Harvey and it's terrifying me."
Harvey sits back and resumes his silence.
