When this scene first came to mind I had no idea what I was going to do with it. For a while I thought it would have to be put in a new story to show Julie and Marcus' background, but then I thought why not incorporate it as a flashback? So here we have it!
I also would like to point out I will not be posting the snippets in chapter order, so one day you'll get a sneek peek from chapter 7 the other from chapter 3, but I won't say which chapter it is to keep you on your toes😉
So without further ado... Here is the first little(long) snippet of the new Julius fic We're Not Alone below!
So who's the lucky guy?" Rebecca asked as she came over one morning. Julie scrunched her face and chuckled oddly at her sister's sudden and strange question.
"What're you talking about?" She asks flipping the pancakes. Becca laughs as she sips her coffee.
"Oh come on Julie! I know you're seeing someone." Julie rolled her eyes but Rebecca didn't let it go. "For one, you're awake and smiling at 6am on a weekend which definitely means you're getting laid."
"What?" Julie laughed, surprised and offended by her sisters exclamation.
"Secondly, you're out all the time and never answer my texts till morning." Julie turned with a hand on her hip as Rebecca pointed in her direction. "Also, there's another mug of coffee on the table and it's the one used for guests. It's not mine" she says shaking hers. "And it's definitely not yours."
"Okay, Sherlock. Yes I'm getting laid, happy now?" Rebecca squeals in excitement as she stands and walks around the counter towards her sister to stand in front of her.
"So what's his name? Whats he like? Is he hot? What-"
"Bec!" Julie exclaimed amused and irritated as her sister bombards her with questions. "its not that serious."
"Yes it is." Rebecca says matterof-factly. When Julie raises a brow Rebecca elaborates. "Jules you never, and I mean never, take a guy back to your place. You either get a hotel room or have sex at his place."
"Rebecca!" Julie cried, taking the pan off the stove. "Are you slut shaming me right now?!" Becca raised her hands in the air as she grinned.
"Hey no judgement here, sis. I'm just stating facts. You never bring guys over." Julie's cheeks redden, making her avoid her sister's eyes. "So… Is he at least good in bed?"
"Oh my God, Bec!" Julie gasps, Rebecca stares like a cat that got the canary.
"It's a yes or no question, love." Julie groans and takes her coffee mug from the counter. Becca wiggles her brow and grins. "I'll take that as a yes."
"Please tell me we are not talking about my sex life at 6 in the morning?" Julie grumbles. Rebecca shugs with a smug grin and sits on the counter. "I need to get ready for work."
"Jules, hon, it's Saturday. Schools out."
"Yes… but I have a meeting at the school. Some bullshit on a new art program, then there's next year's curriculum I have to start planning, and then there's the-"
A knock interrupts them and Bec stares between her sister and then door. Before Julie could stop her or make any move whatsoever, Rebecca was hopping off the counter and leaping toward the door. "I got it!" Julie groans aloud and follows slowly, but not before spiking a little Rum in her coffee for good measure. She was definitely going to need it knowing her sister.
At the door Becca opens it to find a man she's never met before. He was cute with his nerdy glasses a million freckles littering his cheeks. Then there was the very sexy part she could see her sister's attraction to. Not only in the way he held himself or dressed in his pressed suit, but his toned build and dark unruly curls were the cherry on top. And that's not to mention his goofy awkward smile as she opened the door.
"Uh, hi." He said unsure.
"Hi there. Can I help you?" Marcus looks over Becca's shoulder then to her.
"Yeah, uh, I was looking for Julie. Is she home by chance?"
"I don't know what can I help you with?" Rebecca repeats and Marcus chuckled a little nodding in understanding.
"Got it." he smiled reading the room. "I left my tablet here and was hoping I could get it back. I need it for a work thing so if I could get it that would be great."
"Oh, what kind of work do you do?" Rebecca inquired, her interest now peaked. Not only because this man has slept over but was comfortable enough to bring his work to Julie's apartment.
"I work with computers."
"So you're a tech genius or like a basic tech guy?" Becca asks with arms crossed. Marcus smiles awkwardly but explains he works on the new gen of AI's. Creating their code and make it easier for the future of technology and humanity as a whole. "So you're a genius!" She exclaimed and Marcus shrugged. "You know we could really use a tech guy in the family. Do you think you could fix this bug on my computer because -"
"Bec!" Julie scolded and Marcus' smile widened while Julie blushed. She ignored her sister as she came closer with his tablet. Bec backed away as Julie clearer her throat. "Sorry about her, uh, here."
"Thank you." He said with sincerity. "I'll uh see you around?"
"Yeah, I'll see you."
Just as Julie shut the door Becca stared with her arms crossed over her chest. "So he's hot and a nerd? Score!"
"Rebecca!" Julie groans as her sister laughed the whole way to the kitchen. "You're going to be the death of me I swear."
"But you love me anyway!" She sang as she skipped to the kitchen for food. Julie rolled her eyes but smiled as she followed her sister inside.
