Tangles Of Lies

Tangles Of Lies
Isabella's Pov :

I sat on one of the couches that were there around in the room, scrolling through my social media handles and occasionally playing Candy Crush, waiting for Julien to come upstairs.

It has been long.

Well too long.

I have already finished following up with all gossips that took place in the city today plus finished the little designing work that was left and yet he hasn't returned.

I was designing the dress for my own baby shower from now itself, though I do have a little over four months to prepare . I want to welcome this little baby with the best love that me and Julien are capable of providing him or her. I looked down at my tummy before caressing the skin over it softly.

This entire thing was a very foreign feeling. To be able to carry and provide life to another human being seemed exciting as well as overwhelming at the same time.

I kept my i-pad down to glance over the clock. It was around 1:00 am now which means Jaimin and Julien have been speaking for about some three hours now.

My mind started imagining the worst scenario possible which is them getting into physical fight. This is the only time that I want to curse the walls of our bedroom being sound proved because in other times it is the only thing that saves me from the embarrassment of moaning the loudest while he's getting down on my body.

The sudden thought about it made me feel that fuzzy warm feeling in the lower pit of my stomach igniting the passion in me that I was feeling this entire evening.

I decided to step out of the room and look over the situation with my own eyes. It was getting really boring plus this night time is what we get to ourselves anyways. They are supposed to be in the visitor's area if they haven't moved to the interior living room.

"Yes..Yes I am going to soon get rid of her," I stopped in my tracks as I heard Julien's voice ending with a short laugh soon followed by Jaimin's.

Wait they are laughing together ?

Is there something that I am missing out on ?

"Don't forget to break her my dear brother," I heard Jaimin speaking now. They are surely discussing about someone.

A girl ?

I tried to get closer to them sneakily and try to get more information but Julien's eyes's abruptly met mine starling me, making me stay rooted on my position. Luckily Jaimin cannot see me, Julien moved his eyes away from me faking a cough before passing a silent glare at my direction.

"So I can assume that you are in right ?"

I quickly ducked behind a statue which was kept some fifteen hands away from where they were sitting opposing Julien's glare. He could still kinda see me for I was peering up a little to clearly listen and see what was going on.

"Uh what ?" Julien mumbled with confusion. His attention was clearly on me eavesdropping his conversation with his brother, a smirk curled on my face.

"You are agreeing to help me right ?" Jaimin asked bluntly with a concern laced tone.

Julien's right hand travelled to skim through his hair, a thing he did whenever he was nervous or just trying to focus.

Well whatever. He looked hot doing it and that's what matters.

"Yeah I am..," Julien replied plainly not giving out on the details much while glancing at me.

There was something that he wanted to hide from me ?

Ouch.

Before I could let myself feel worse Jaimin got up making me quickly hide my entire self behind the artifact.

"Thanks for tonight Bro. Will meet you soon," I heard Jaimin's voice ringing through the hallway as they lead towards the exit.

The sound of the door closing made me leave the breath that I was unknowingly holding before standing up from my hidden place, directly hitting myself on Julien's chest while he towered over me.

Geez how did he reach here so fast ?

"What do you think you were doing ?" He asked, his voice going lower as he stood crossing his arms over his chest.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that ?" I mirrored his posture standing on my toes to make me look taller. He huffed a sigh in return before sitting himself on the arm rest of the couch.

"Why were you eavesdropping Bella ?" He asked.

I scooted closer to him, standing between the space of his legs before snaking my arms around his neck.

You might call me clingy but from the time I had seen this man in front of me in his black vests and white shorts the only thing I wanted to do is snuggle into him. All other things can wait.

Julien fingers went to ruffle my hair as he pulled me more into him, breathing into the small space between us, our lips just inches away from melting against each other.

"You make me feel...you make me feel," he said quietly, fiercely his thumb lacing my lower lip.

I felt the rush of adrenaline through my blood with his words making me breath hard against him, clouding my find with the cover of lust.

Was he going to really say what I have been wanting to here ? Since months ?

"..and I don't like it. I want it to stop.Now," he fumbled as his other hand went to hold on my neck, pulling me closer, our lips just touching.

"I...," he stopped biting his lips as I pulled myself a little away. Mr. Grumpy was going to need more time to be able to say it but then I already knew.

"Shsh..You are so cute..," I heard myself mumble as my fingers caressed through his hair, massaging the points on his scalp, releasing the slight tension that his body caught up with.

"I would have preferred hot but that works too," Julien replied with a small laugh. I stop whatever we were doing, drawing myself away from his hold as a confused look swims on his face.

I needed to know what was going on as much I wanted to feel him inside me. The wetness pooling in my panties would surely agree to that but the logical part of my brain wanted to know about what was happening.

"Are you angry ?" Julien asked as I rested my hands at my hip, his eyes following my every move.

"Noooo, I am super happy," I replied with a sarcastic smile and honey layered voice making Julien's face cringe.

"Your words say one thing, but your tone says another," he replied with his voice going softer with each word.

"Then tell me what were you speaking to Jaimin about ?" I asked to which he absent mindedly shifted his weight from one leg to another.

"Its work related," Julien replied after few moments totally failing to keep that professional facade of his on.

It was getting seriously irritating. What could he be planning with Jaimin that he's hesitating from telling me ?

"Yeah and I work in that same field. What is it about ?" I asked not letting go of the pace.

"Little Honey Head.." my nick name comes out of his mouth as a partial mix exhaustment and warning energizing me to push him further.

"Yes ?"

"You are not giving up are you ?" He asked as he stood up from the arm rest coming closer to me.

Well danger signs. He perfectly knows how to coax me into melting.

"Julien just tell me if anything is wrong nah ?" I asked dropping my angry facade. I just wanted to know if everything is fine.

Julien forwarded his arm to hold me by my waist. His hold being gentle and warm while his eyes bore into mine.

"I will. Just give me some time ?" He rested his forehead against mine as he said those words. He placed a kiss on my forehead as he finished before lacing his fingers with mine.

"Let's finish what we started ?" Julien whispered into my ears to which I nodded as we made our way to the dinning area.

"I will set up the things," Julien replied with a smile as he started untangling our hands while I stared at the bond which slowly broke.

I am surely letting this matter go as of now but I will have to dig into it later on.

There is surely something which Julien is hiding from me for whatever reason and I surely respect that but I needed to know about this 'her' that they were planning against.

I was about to follow Julien when I saw a message popping on my phone, drawing my attention. It was from Cabir but why was he texting me at this time ?
