Jude's pov
Monday comes and I find myself thinking about my amazing weekend with James. I have never enjoyed sex as much as I enjoyed it with him. I am about to enter my company building when I notice my friend's boyfriend's vehicle pull over. I decide to wait for her so that we could go upstairs together. I need to talk about something that will make me not think about James. Juliana and have known each other since college and we were lucky enough to get jobs at the same company.l
"You are glowing, I guess it's true what they say, people glow when they are in love," I tell her the moment she enters. I am happy that she finally found someone who treats her like the queen she is and has managed to bring the old Juliana back. After her assault three years ago, she stopped believing in people. She even stopped hanging out but now I can see her coming back to her old self. The always-bubbly Juliana is coming back.
"Hey, Jude, how are you?" She greets me with a huge smile on her face.
"I am good thank you, how are you?"
"I am fine."
"I can tell by the glow on your face. You were thoroughly fucked." I tease her as I bump my shoulder with hers.
"Stop it, what are you even doing here?"
"I was waiting for you, I saw your boyfriend's car, when I arrived. Don't look at me like that, of course, I know the car."
"I didn't say anything, Jude."
"You didn't have to say anything, your confused look said everything."
"I see you have become a magician, the lift is opening, let's go before we get late," she says, pulling me inside the elevator.
"You are right, I don't want to run into Mr. Bwalya this early." Mr . Bwalya is our manager and sometimes he comes in a bad mood for work making everyone uncomfortable.
"So, how are things with Mr. Perfect?"
She rolls her eyes at me. "He is not perfect Jude. But things are good, really good. These past weeks have been amazing. Living together has helped. We have been spending a lot of time together and getting to know each other better."
"Getting serious huh?" She has been staying with Marcus ever since that asshole ex-boyfriend of hers called one night to tell her he was in town. She was freaked out about the call. I am just glad Marcus was there to calm her down.
"Maybe, I don't know yet, Jude. It's just different with him. Like, I can be myself and he still accepts me. It's nice to feel loved." She shrugs.
"I am happy for you, Jules. You deserve all the happiness in the world," I tell her, giving her a warm smile. I love seeing her this happy.
"Thanks, Jude," she says, giving me a playful punch on the arm.
"Why did you send me your location on Friday?" She asks me as the elevator dings and the doors open to our floor.
"I went home with someone, I was just being careful," I tell her.
"But it's not the first time that you have taken someone home." This is true, I take a guy home almost every day on weekends.
"Well, the thing is I did not take him to my place, I went to his place," I admit.
"What? You went to a guy's house that's new." I can see how surprised Juliana is about my revelation. I never go to men's homes. That has always been my rule until last weekend.
"I will tell you everything at lunch I tell her."
"Okay, I want all the juice."
Once we reach our office, we both settle into our desks and start working on our assignments for the day.
As the day goes on, I can't help but think about James even though I try not to think about him. He has left a desire in me that I can't get rid of. I don't realize it's lunch until I hear chairs moving. I look at Juliana and find her buried in her work. She doesn't even notice that half the people in the office have gone to lunch
"Hey, workaholic, get up. Let's go and eat it's lunchtime," I tell her.
"It's lunchtime already, time is moving fast."
"Maybe God wants you to go see Mr Perfect soon." I tease her.
"Oh, just shut up, let's go," I say. As we start heading to the cafeteria.
"So, this morning you said that you spent the entire weekend with a guy at his house. How did you meet him?" She asks me as we sit at our table.
"At the club after an argument with my dad. He was lecturing me on how to be his perfect daughter. He threatened to cut me off if I don't stop my whoring." I tell her.
"What are you going to do?"
"Well, I will have to listen to daddy dearest. I won't be sleeping around anymore." She chokes on her juice at my last statement.
"You are going to stop sleeping around?" She asks me in disbelief.
"I have no option Jules if I don't stop the old man will take everything from me. And you know how much I love living my comfortable life."
"So last weekend was the last time for you?"
"Yeah, it was."
"Why do you look sad?" She asks me. That's why I love Juliana. She always pays attention.
"It's just that with this guy it was different."
"How different?"
"He was good in every way. It was like something out of a movie. The sex was amazing Jules. He knew where to touch me and when to do it. He made me feel so good like I have never felt before. I have never connected with anyone like that, it was nice even if it just lasted for a weekend." Juliana looks at me and I can tell that she is surprised by all of this.
"Maybe you will run into each other again and you will get to experience that again."
"To be honest, I don't ever want to run into that guy," I admit to her. I know that if I run into him I will want him even more.
"But why? You just told me that you had a good time with him."
"It's true that I had a good time. And that's why I don't want to see him again. Yesterday before I left his place we had sex and it was so different Jules. It felt like he was making love to me. He took his time giving me pleasure. He had this fire in his eyes that drew me close to him. I know that if I sleep with him again I will not be able to leave him." I tell her, staring at the plate of my food.
I am feeling confused right now, James is stuck in my head and I don't know what to do about it. The feelings that I have right now are confusing me. Last weekend was supposed to be fun but has left me in a confused state. How can one man confuse me like this? I have taken many guys to my bed but none of them has ever crossed my mind after, so why is this one stuck in my head?
Juliana places her hand on mine giving me a reassuring squeeze. "You know, it's okay to feel something for someone, jude. It doesn't make you weak or less of who you are. If this guy made you feel something special, maybe it's worth exploring. You will never know if that's what you want if you don't try it." She tells me.
"You think so?"
She nods, giving me a genuine smile. "I do. You said it yourself, what you shared with him was different. I am sure wherever this man is, he is thinking of you and wants more of you. Just like you want him."
"Well, then we will have to wait if I will run into him again. This feeling is foreign to me, Jules. You know I don't do sentiments, one night is always enough for me. But this man has left me wanting more of his cock." I tell her in frustration.
"Does this mysterious man have a name?" She asks me.
"His name is James, I didn't bother to ask his last name because I was busy enjoying his cock." I tell her, a smile coming on my face as I remember how good he felt inside of me.
"Well, it must have been a magical cock to make you forget to ask something that important." Juliana teases.
"I am sure James's cock is not as Magical as Marcus's." I tease back.
"Let's just say they are both magical cocks then," she says. I laugh at her comment. We continue to eat in silence, enjoying each other's company.
