Chapter Fourteen
Juliann swallowed her pleasure high as she stepped into her apartment, she chewed down on her lower lip as she tried to close the door quietly.
She tried to find her courage to lie as she felt her steps heavy as she moved.
Juliann spotted Kela and Jared on the balcony, laughing.
Even though it had only been two days, Juliann missed her girlfriend's laugh. She missed Kela's touch and warmth. Juliann felt like her security blanket was being ripped from her.
Juliann faked a smile as she noticed Kela glance up at her, Juliann bravely made her way out to the balcony.
"Did Christoffer tell you the great news?" Kela eagerly spoke.
Juliann shook her head as she took a caution leaning against the balcony rail.
"Jared managed to get permission for us to join Christoffer on set."
Juliann looked at Jared.
"You won't be acting, just sitting and watching."
"Juli, it's an actual set."
"That's cool." Juliann tried to fake her enthusiasm.
"You okay?" Kela asked.
Juliann nodded.
Jared took note of the two woman in front of him, this time was different. Jared knew Christoffer, knew how Christoffer loved and lost woman but with Juliann, this was different. She was the first one to be in a strong relationship and the first to seem like she knows what she wants.
Jared had gotten to know Kela, almost quite well. He felt like he had a desire to protect the woman, but he knew he couldn't. His client came first.
"I'll leave you ladies be. Have a good night." Jared rose to his feet.
"You too, Jared." Kela watched as he walked inside. She swiftly moved her attention to her girlfriend "Are you sure you're okay?"
Juliann exhaled deeply "He wants me to break up with you."
"Jared?"
"No, Christoffer."
"Why?" Kela felt her emotions bubble up to the surface.
"Because he thinks I'm cheating on you."
"But you're not. I gave you permission."
"I tried saying that."
"Do you want to leave me?" The question was genuine.
"Oh god. No. Never." Juliann didn't hesitate with her answer "But Kela..."
"It's not a but, Juliann. You've made your choice." Kela rose up to her feet "I'll always have your back. What'd happen when his bored with you? You'd be lost."
Juliann felt her girlfriend's arms drape around her shoulders.
"If you want to leave than you need to make that choice not him. He has no right to tell you to leave me."
Juliann nodded slightly as confliction wrote itself over her.
