Nova's POV
"Coffee?" Piper said a bit too loud, a bit too cheerful. I looked around. I was laying on a couch that wasn't mine.
Wasn't Piper's either.
I was laying on Julian's couch. Fuck.
My head was pounding and I didn't remember much from last night. Double fuck.
Piper sat down next to me on the couch as I sat up. "Thanks" I said as I took the cup of coffee. The smell definitely woke me up.
"What happened last night?" I asked. Julian also walked in the kitchen - shirtless. He had more tattoos than I remembered.
"Besides Julian flirting with your ex-boyfriend girlfriend?" Piper waved her hand at Julian, who just chuckled.
"You asked Lando if he liked your dress" she said.
Okay that wasn't that bad. I wore a white dress because I knew he would be there.
"And after that you asked if he would like to undress you"
Couldn't get much worse.
"Fuc-" I shook my head, putting my cup of coffee down. "What did he say?"
"Well - nothing" she shrugged. "Because straight after, you asked if he wanted to have sex with you"
Scratch that - it could get worse.
Julian chuckled again.
"And then.." Piper looked back at Julian. "He decided to stop flirting with Sofia, so she returned to her boyfriend"
"Oh stop it" Julian rolled his eyes, walked over to Piper, picked her up and put her down on his lap.
It was weird to see him like that, act like that with a girl.
"You know I'm not interested in her" he put his head on her shoulder. "In any girl for that matter"
I laid back down on the couch, hands on my head. I didn't need to hear nor see them being lovey-dovey.
"I need a break" I mumbled. "I need to get out of here"
"You just ran away for a year" Piper sighed.
"Yes and now I need another break" I sat back up. "We are going to Italy - Tom, me and you" I pointed at her.
"We can't just go to Ita-" she said. "Julian has a house there, we can use it for a couple of days, right?" I interrupted her.
Piper immediately looked at Julian. "You have a house in Italy?"
He tilted his head at me. "Yes I do and yes you can stay there"
"Why did you never tell me you have a house there?" Piper was still looking at him.
Guess he didn't tell her about everything he did and I was afraid she might not like it.
Well - she definitely won't like it. I didn't either but it also had its perks.
Lots of houses everywhere in the world, a necklace here and there.
"So a house in Italy, clubs in England, what other secrets do you have?" They started arguing.
I looked at Julian. I guess that's why he didn't do dating and relationships.
I mouthed 'I'm sorry' before getting up and walking to the balcony.
This wasn't my fight, but I already knew how it was gonna end. He wasn't gonna tell and she would be mad.
He never told anyone what he did - only the people he really trusted - which weren't many people.
I leaned against the railing and grabbed my phone. I stared at it for a while, decided against sending him a text a couple of times.
What could I tell him? 'Hi I'm sorry I don't wanna have sex with you?' or 'Hi, you don't need to undress me, did it all by myself"
The first one would be a lie and the second one just plain stupid.
Why did I have to get so drunk? I sighed as I put my hand on the ring hanging on a chain around my neck.
