Chapter Nine
Juliann felt her nervous reappear as she stepped out of the bathroom, she exhaled deeply as she paused for a moment.
She breathed slowly as she stepped out of the bedroom, she noticed Christoffer relaxing on the lounge with two plates of vanilla and strawberry crème brulee sitting on the coffee table, she noticed the two glasses of wine.
She swallowed hard.
"Sit. Eat." Christoffer didn't turn his attention to her as he relaxed on the lounge, watching a movie that wasn't peaking his interest.
He calmly reached for a glass of wine before taking a sip.
Juliann smiled a little as she sat down next to him, she reached for a plate and a spoon. She looked down at the small meal, she felt her nerves slowly disappear as she looked up at the tv screen "I didn't know you were an Anthony Hopkins fan."
"Who?" Christoffer sipped his wine again.
"Anthony Hopkins." Her eyes lit up "His like..His.." She felt herself light up with enthusiasm.
Christoffer side eye glanced Juliann before looking at her face, he hated the way she looked, the way she was speaking of a celebrity that wasn't him "His nothing but an old fool."
"Have you meet him?" Juliann tried not to feel disheartened.
"No."
"Well, than how do you know his an old fool. Anthony Hopkins is an incredible actor, a man who loses himself in the role and his absolutely..." She allowed her sentence to drift off as she noticed Christoffer's facial expression, she swallowed hard "Sorry." She whispered.
"Do you think his better than me?" Christoffer's tone sounded jealous.
"Well, I think the two of you come from different generations. You both have different ways to act."
"Is he better than me?" There was jealousy again.
Juliann could feel her heartbeat fast in her chest as she swallowed hard "No. Your better than him." She could almost feel her heart break with the lie she had told.
"Thought so." Christoffer picked up the remote and flipped the channel, he had no interest in the reality tv show playing, after Juliann's comments he wasn't in the mood to watch another actor capture her attention.
Juliann dropped her eyes down to the crème brulee in her hands, she hesitated to dip her spoon in as she held back her tears.
Christoffer placed down his now empty wine glass before rising to his feet "Are you finished?"
She slowly rose her gaze up to his face before shaking her head.
Christoffer held back his reaction as he watched her softly tap her spoon on the top of the crème brulee "When your finish, come to bed."
Juliann nodded as she watched him walk towards the bedroom.
"Don't take too long." Christoffer called out from the bedroom.
Juliann nodded to herself as she returned her gaze to the small bowl in her hands.
