ADRIEN MORGAN
"What?"
Jules asked after a few minutes of being frozen in place.
I retract my hand from around his waist and turn him around. He faces me with a mixture of emotions in his eyes, but confusion is the most dominant one.
I move my free hand to his face and start caressing his smooth face mildly. Making sure to make direct eye contact with him.

"Hey,I just wanted to let you know. I'm not forcing you to reciprocate the feeling or do anything in general. I like you as a person and enjoy being in your company." I say with a smile, screaming gentleness and fondness.
I noticed a blush spreading throughout his face from the ears and neck. He then looks away from my eyes and nods shyly.
"Alright. Though I don't understand clearly,is it like like or just like?" He asks.
"Oh my God! How could someone be so cute? Anyway,it depends on your definition of like, but I like you,being around you and literally everything about you. It feels like I've known you forever, and whenever we're apart,I am looking forward to when I'll see you in person because the internet and magazines don't suffice." I confess,trying to simplify my understanding of these feelings within me for him.
I internally curse myself for this akward air around us. I can't just wake up and tell him I like him out of nowhere. What next,that I love him or ask him to be my mate? I swear I don't know what's wrong with my stupid mouth. It just blabbers out anything like it's got a mouth of its own. Hell,I could end up losing my only shot at winning him over due to my shitty mouth.
We were so relaxed in the most intimate position I could get from this straight man, and my mouth just went ahead to spoil the mood.
"Okay,I understand, Adrien. And I feel the same way or even beyond about you. I feel safe and secure whenever I have you around me. I find myself being vulnerable around you easily,something that never happened even with my ex fiancé or anyone from my family,even communicating with you is easier. Really,had I known that I could have a friend like you in a stranger,I would have gone for friends hunting from everywhere." Jules laughs a bit towards the end of his confession.
"I'm glad I made a difference in your life,or more for that matter. Thank you for sharing with me how you feel about me, and I will always protect you. I want to let any harm come your way, my lo- dear." I hope he didn't notice that near-slip of the tongue.
We hug each other and let silence take over. At this moment,we didn't need to say anything. We just let ourselves bask in this feeling,the warmth our bodies are sharing, and the peace and comfort.
I awoke to the most marvelous sight,Jules' face was right next to mine,as if he'd been studying my own.
He flinched when he noticed that I was looking right back at him, and he pulled away with blushing ears.
"O, you're finally awake. Did you know that you can sleep through a zombie apocalypse l?" He scolded me,not daring to look me in the eyes.
I tagged on his arm,making him look at me, but he couldn't let me see his cherry red face. He looked up instead. I laughed at him and let him go.
"Admit that you were staring,it's not a crime,I would understand. If the roles were reversed,I would be staring at your beautiful face while you slept." I shamelessly state my opinion.
He stood up rather quickly and turned his back to me in embarrassment. I wish he knew what his plump backside does to me or the things I would do to be there. But someday,he will eventually open up.
"There is a change of clothes in my closet and towels in the bathroom cabinets. New soaps and shower gels,toothbrushes, and toothpastes are in the drawer under the sink. Help yourself to a shower or bath and then join me downstairs for breakfast." He informs me in one breath and then walks away without waiting to hear my thanks.
"I guess I have to get ready for the day." I get up and out of the bed into the closet to pick up the folded clothes on his closet island and proceed to the bathroom.
After I've finished my morning routine and changed into his rather tight clothes,I walk out of the steamy bathroom and go downstairs to join my future wife and have breakfast with him.
"You make food that tastes delicious. I could eat your cooking at any time and don't mind becoming chubby." I commented on his skills when he placed my breakfast in front of me.
"Oh,you're so kind, Adrien. I'm just making a basic breakfast that tastes literally the same everywhere." He replies shyly,a smile almost breaking through his stoic face. I have a feeling that he likes compliments. He blushes whenever I say something nice or flirty to him,I should do more of that.
Compliments will be a good catalyst for this relationship I want to build.
"I beg to differ. Some hotels can't make sandwiches like yours or the breakfast pancakes you make. I think I won't eat anything else if it's not your cooking anymore." Inwonder if this guy even is aware of his capabilities. He makes basic food and makes it taste even better than some hotels.
It's not the mate pull that's speaking here,I'm in my right understanding, and Jules' food is delicious. It is what it is.
"Okay,if you say so. I hope you're not devising means to move in for free breakfast." He teased.
"I honestly wouldn't mind moving in or you coming to my own but no, unless you are ready."
We found ourselves absorbed into the conversation that nine of us noticed that were literally late for our scheduled programs. We got up and started rushing up and down till we had our belongings in hand and walked out of Julian's condo. His car couldn't start, so I had to drop him off to work before I drove back to my house and faced the elders. I stood up yesterday after getting a call from my baby.
While in the car,Julian asked me how I knew where to drive to, and I had to come up with something like 'you're always in magazines,' so I just know where you work from.'
"What do you do for a living, by the way?" Oh my God! I thought that he had dropped the topic after remaining silent for about four minutes.
"I ...uh... I work in management. Yeah, something like that. Some day, I will let you in on what exactly I do. Okay!" I promise him. Answering questions is the last thing I want to do as a daybreaker. I prefer casual conversations or silence.
"Okay. I hope you don't end up running late because of me." Jules whines like a child. Oh, he's so cute sulking like that.
"Hey,stop sulking. You're not inconveniencing me at all. So sit back and relax while I drive you to the office. Okay?" He nods and leans against the passenger seat.
We arrive at his office tower, and he kisses my cheek,with a smirk, before running out the car and into the elevator.
I keep staring at his disappearing form,still in shock that he actually sent me off kn my way with a kiss. Yeah, maybe just a peck on the cheek, but it's progress.
I snap out of my trance and drive back home to meet Ishmael so that we go through the meeting's proceedings.
I spent the rest of my day with my face buried in work, only standing up a little to stretch. I also hot a text from Azrael telling me about Lukka,the dragon towards the end of the day.
