bad guy.

SomeDay || Jules and Ed

Julianne took off to the poolside after she left his office. Taking her phone out and started texting Nina, what she did, as well as her brother. Wondering if they would be against it or okay with it. But it was to late to take it back now. Julianne put her sunglasses on and after a while, she could not help but wonder if he already read the letter or not. Julianne grabbed her stuff and walked towards the lobby to see and ask the host if he came back. But she did not see her or him. Taking a deep breath, hoping she did not get that young lady in trouble. When she turned around that she when she felt him, grabbing her arm. “Fuck” Julianne said, looking at him. “Do we?” Julianne said, pretending she didn’t know what it was about, but she knew that it needed to be done sooner or later and it was better to get it done now. “Okay, let me go first” She said looking at him and then her arm. She stood there looking at him, she was wondering what he was thinking about what she wrote. If she was in the wrong for even leaving the letter to him.  @the-ed-westwick

Ed couldn’t believe his eyes when he read that letter. All the pain he caused, the person she turned Julianne to be after he left...Every single word of that letter was going in his mind over and over again. They had to make a conversation. A big and serious one. As soon as possible. When he finally found her, everything hit him again and maybe that’s why he grabbed her the way he did. The anger, even the pain hit him very hard. His eyes looked down at her and when she pretends she didn’t know what he was talking about, Ed shook his head. “You don’t know?” he asked but then heard her next words and let go of her arm, taking a step back with his eyes never leaving her. “Not here though” he said. “Somewhere, quiet. Just the two of us” Ed suggested. “You have an explanation to do” he said as he crossed his arms on his chest.

It has been a busy day today, the man hadn’t been at his office at all since he came this morning. After hours of having conversations and meetings and stuff, Ed was able to return to his office and catch his breath for a short moment. Before he walked inside, the host that was working today informed him that a woman was asking for him and actually went to his office. Something that, he didn’t like at all. He simply nodded to the young woman and let it slid for now. He hated people walking in there without him knowing or his permission. When he walked in and made his way to the desk, the man saw a letter in front of him, having a good clue from who was behind that. He took a seat on his chair and took the letter on his hand, having a short moment at first by looking at it. Did he want to open it? Did he want to read that? His curiosity was eating him alive and the man soon enough caved in. He opened the letter and start reading it. A decision he was going to regret after he was done. Even with the first sentence, his mouth dropped. Part of him wanted to stop immediately and throw that thing away but he continued. And continued. And continued until he was done. He felt numb. His heart felt like it stopped beating and the man couldn’t move. How did he manage to make this happen? Well, he knew but still, it hurt. It hurt him reading what she went through. He gently placed the letter on the desk’s surface and grabbed his phone sending some text messages. When he got an answer soon, he stood up and left but not before warning his host to not let anyone ever again walked inside without him present. -- Soon enough he managed to find Julianne and Ed grabbed her by the arm and looked at her. “We need to talk” he told her. “Now” he added.

“I was thinking the same thing” she agreed with him, she was not ready to go down that lane with him. Not yet, maybe some other day or in the long future. She was not ready for it. “Calm down, Ed” she said, surprised by what he said, she did not mean it that way he thought of it. “First of all, Ed I do not think you are a horror person, You are the person that broke my heart but I do know you love but in your own no matter how much you deny it. You do not love me and believe me when I tell you that I have accept it a little. You just love other things and other people. I could not love you the way you needed to be love, that is what I tell myself at least” she said honesty to him, the last thing she wants him to think that he is this horrible person. But she took a deep breath. Last thing, she wants to do is upset him in his hotel and have him kick her out. She just wanted peace between them to at least survive being near each other. “You’ll love it.” she joked with his words. Honesty, she did not know what to say next, she wanted to leave but she just wanted to keep talking to him even if it was about the weather. “As, I am too” she said low but enough for him to hear her. @the-ed-westwick

“Good” he simply replied leaving it there, in the past, where it belongs. And he was not sure if he ever wanted to have that conversation with her. He kept quiet while he was listening to what she was saying now, he raised an eyebrow with some of the things she said and when she was done, he just simply shook his head in denial. “Who told you that I don’t love you?” he asked with a serious look now. “Because I left? Because I fucked up?” he asked her. “It’s not a switch or a bottom that I can press and be like, great all the feelings are gone, I don’t love her anymore, let’s move on. No, you are wrong. And if you remember the Ed that you used to be with in the past, you know that nothing has changed when it comes to my feelings for you. If you remember that guy, you should have known better” he said stepping back, having his distance from her. He hated himself for opening up so much now, letting her know all those things. God, he was so stupid, why did he open his mouth? Why didn’t he walk away? He should have walk away and move on with his day. “Maybe” he chuckled a little with her joke. He turned his back to leave, at least being the one who takes that step but her words caught his attention. “You’ll be fine,” he said looking over his shoulder in her way. “You’ll find your way” he added.

She wanted to run to her suite but her feet were glued to the floor. “I guess you were in some way but …” she did not even finished her sentence. She heard his words and a part  did not even comment on it. Julianne was not going to change her location because its his hotel. She was going to stay there until her home was fixed, She had to get use to the idea that she will be seeing him  more not just at the hotel but around town when she least expects it too. “I notice that you have become that person Ed. But its a shame because you knew how to love someone but I guess the love of work was more powerful then true love.” she spoke honestly with him. She did not comment on his next words. she prefer to just listen to him then to say something wrong to him. “Then watch out, this can turn in american horror story later.” She joked with him.  “Its fine, they have more important people to attend too. I am sure I can find my way to the top of the hotel.” Julianne said, grabbing her bag. “Hope your happy for real Ed.” Julianne said looking away from him. @the-ed-westwick

"But that’s another story that I don’t want to continue right now” he added and left it there, he didn't want to continue that conversation, he wanted to simply leave it there. Maybe another time. Maybe. Hearing her followed words, Ed couldn't help but sigh. “I said it with sarcasm,” he told her. “And oh my God, Julianne, just because I fucked up it means I became a horrible person that doesn’t know how to love anymore? I just refuse to do it.” He didn’t know what happened there, why he said the words he said and opened up like that to her, even that short moment, he looked back at her and shook his head. “Forget that I said that” he said simply. “Oh another horror story for me, perfect” he joked slightly trying to move on from his previous ‘scene’ and let go of it. Just move on with something else. “So do I” he boldly reply about his staff having more important things to do. “Yeah it’s not science, you’ll be fine,” Ed said as he took a step back. “Working on it” he replied with a nod. 

Looking over him as they stood there quietly between each other. She wanted to run her fingers on his cheek and tell him what she really felt but he is not the Ed, she remembers and it breaks her. She took a deep breath when she heard his words and she shaked off the thoughts, she was having. “I know you will” she replied without giving it thought. She hope that with her staying here was okay with her but she also wanted to exploded on him but she was not going to know matter how hurt she was by him. No matter what happen in life, she will always remember the kind of person and man Ed was. How she admire how working he was and how he worked to make his dreams come true like the one they were standing in together. “Distraction?” she repeated that word from what he said, wondering why he needed to be distractions. But it was not her business to ask, she guessed. “I guess, the alcohol played a part there. Who better then the owner to show me the way to the presidential suite of the place?” She spoke honestly with him. @the-ed-westwick

Part of him wanted to simply step back, turn around and continue his day with the busy schedule he had planned. But he didn’t. Something kept him in place, there with her. “Always taking care of you even in moments you don’t know it” he commented but said it as loud as it should have been so Julianne could hear it. He was a bit surprised that she still wanted to stay there, probably seen his face every single day until the day she would return home. Ed took a deep breath before replying to her question “Yeah” he simply said. “Since I became that person, you know the type of guy who is not able to love nothing else but his job, it also became a distraction,” he told her with honesty. And that was the reason he was all the time at the hotel, even sleeping there when he had to. “I prefer to see numbers than double thinking situation” he added but leaving it there, not wanted to continue that conversation. He chuckled softly now. “I preferred the murder scene” he needed. With her question, the man shrugged. “Well, I have the best-trained staff in town so, you are going to be just fine.” He replied. 

Ed has been at the hotel for hours now, earlier than expected but that’s where he was spending most of his time now, he has always been a workaholic and being there for his business has always been a daily thing. He was talking with some of his staff while noticing the place of getting busier. He was proud of himself. Everything he accomplished he did it himself, Ed build everything from zero and now it was turning into an empire. After catching up with a couple of people he was walking around, looking and noticing every single thing that was happening. All of a sudden she saw a familiar figure and the man walked closer, tilting his head on the side. “A bit clumsy, aren’t we?” he teased the woman with a smirk on his lips.
