There wasn’t much time for Aurelio to react between seeing Julie exit the auditorium and getting dragged along by the tight grip around his wrist. The usual smirk was on his lips as amusement filled him, [i]when it probably shouldn’t have[/i]. [color=e69600]“Ah, Jules how did you remember that I like it rough?”[/color]

Whether she heard him or chose to ignore him his snark elicited no response from the fiery girl as they quickly reached their destination, which was marked by Julie making her boy take a swift seat. No sooner was his ass touching the plastic coated metal than Julie was stating her demands in that enchanting voice of hers. The smugness was evident on his face, though slowly melting away into a small, almost nervous, smile as his eyes roamed over her again. Though he was only half paying attention to how cute she was and more on how and where to start this tale of unfortunate events.

[color=e69600]“Okay, well… Where should I start?”[/color] Aurelio finally spoke as his eyes held her heated gaze and he leaned forward to rest his forearms on his thighs, a neutral expression wiping away whatever traces amusement that lingered. Well, let’s get this out of the way.

[color=CF5685]“Well I suggest you start with what the hell happened?!”[/color] Julie scoffed. [color=CF5685]“I mean one night I find myself on the football field writing messages in chalk with my best friend, the next night you’ve disappeared without a trace!”[/color] she was talking fast without a pause. She took a calming breath before she continued [color=CF5685]“And on top of that you ghosted me for a year and a half so start at the top asshole!”[/color] 

A grin tugged at the corner of his lips as he nodded his head at her words, [color=e69600]”Some family troubles spurred all this, not me, Jules. Unfortunately, wherever Astraia goes I go too, it’s bad luck to split twins up.”[/color] Aurelio paused a moment, a humorless chuckle leaving his lips as his eyes went to his hands which had clasped together, [color=e69600]“So to keep an eye on my lovely sister we both got shipped off to Seoul, South Korea where Papa Astor had stationed himself. The disappearing thing was Ass’ decision, she didn’t want fuck boy in chief to know anything and I guess cutting off our ties here with everyone was the best way to assure that didn’t happen… I wouldn’t have gone through with it, not with you, but you didn’t see her face when she was asking me Jules, I didn’t have a choice.” [/color]

[color=CF5685]“Seriously?”[/color] was all she could muster. She looked at him for a moment without uttering a single sound. [color=CF5685]“But Relio… It’s fine if you don’t want to discuss your family business with me. But you can’t expect me to believe you just decided to leave me without a word or warning just because your sister asked you to?”[/color] she noticed that her nails were digging in to her hands. She relaxed her arms and let them hang down to her sides where they continued to shake. [color=CF5685]“That shit hurt Relio…”[/color] she whispered. [color=CF5685]“You were the only one I trusted besides CoCo, you two were my everything. And I’m supposed to believe that a look on your sisters face made you ignore that?”[/color] she tried her hardest to make the slight tremor in her voice go away.  

[color=e69600]“I-”[/color] Aurelio’s voice cut off as he looked for what he could tell her to make things better, but unfortunately most of the shit from the past two years had nothing to do with him, and weren’t his issues to talk about. The tremor in her voice was a pang in his heart as his eyes peeled away from his hands and took in all the pain that radiated in hers. This was the last thing he wanted to come out of this, but it was naive to believe it would have turned out any different. Standing to his full height he reached a tentative hand to Julie’s face sweeping a light thumb over her cheek and kept their eyes locked.

[color=e69600]“Julie, I don’t know enough languages to express how sorry I am,”[/color] Reli started out with his voice low so only she could hear him, his hand dropped from her face to her hands and held them gently, an easy hold she could pull away from if she chose, [color=e69600]”I wish I could do things over, but that’s the shitty thing about hindsight, right? I had to make a choice between you and my sister, and I knew you’d have Chanel on your side, so I did what I could to make it easier for Yessi. I didn’t think we were ever coming back, so I figured it would’ve worked out okay for me to just fade away in some distant fond memories... Except here we are, and everything was for nothing… I’m sorry I hurt you mio fiorellino, but I’m here now, for good.”[/color] 

The redhead jerked her head away as the boy’s thumb touched her skin. She listened intently as Aurelio explained himself. Julie let her hands be enveloped in his. She would’ve been lying if she said she hadn’t missed the feelings of her hands in his. Taking a sharp breath as she closed her eyes steadying herself before she slowly opened them again and looked at him. This time without any ulterior motive. In those golden hazel eyes she found nothing but honesty so she let out a long sigh before embracing her old friend and hugging him tightly.

[color=CF5685]“Don’t think this means you’re of the hook.”[/color] she whispered. [color=CF5685]“If you pull anything like this again I will hunt you down and kill you.”[/color] she let out a small laugh. She pulled away quickly when she heard her other best friend arrive behind them.

[color=CF5685]“Quite a surprise isn’t it CoCo?”[/color] She asked fixing her hair after the tumultuous conversation.

Aurelio couldn’t help the smile that spread across his lips as Julie pulled away from their tight embrace, finally things were looking up. The sound of another familiar person pulled his attention away as he followed Julie’s eyes to the quickly approaching Fashion Diva. 

[color=e69600]“Crazy? If anything I’d say you were having a good ass dream... But it’s really me, in all my handsome glory. I’ve gotten hotter right?”[/color] Aurelio teased laughing at himself as he wrapped his arms around Chanel easily lifting her off the ground and twirled them around in a dramatic fashion, [color=e69600]“Oh, my Fashion principessa, how I have missed thee!”[/color]

Julie just rolled her eyes as she sat down at their table [color=CF5685]“As you can see not much has changed.”[/color] she said as she crossed her legs and started to dig through her bag for her packed lunch. Her head snapped up when something banged straight into the edge of the table.

The sound of someone whining had Aurelio pausing his movement as he glanced at the newly arrived person,[color=e69600] “Who is she?”[/color] he whispered to Chanel lowering her back to her feet but kept a lazy arm over her shoulder, [color=e69600]“You okay there, uh… sunshine? I’m Aurelio aka the shared lover between these two cuties.”[/color] he joked shooting the girl a playful wink.

Looking disgusted Julie turned her attention to Stella [color=CF5685]“Ignore him he’s an idiot that just arrived back to this fine establishment.”[/color] she packed up her salad as she spoke. Julie looked down at Stella’s skirt and saw the rip in it, she must’ve hit the table real hard [color=CF5685]“Are you hurt? Do you need help with your skirt?”[/color] she asked as she went back to dig in her bag pulling out a small sewing kit waving it around.[color=CF5685] “Me and Chanel will have you patched up in a second!”[/color]
