Spending the night with Juliette had been unexpected and I wish she had told me so I could have brought a change of clothes. I don't particularly enjoy when my plans change, even if I don't have any. But it was so worth it.

Our night together was...short. We slept in between make out sessions and a lot of sex. That girl has so much stamina. Is it because she does a lot of sport or because she didn't get any sex for two years ? Probably both.

I wake up late and notice an empty spot beside me. Of course, being a mom she couldn't have a lie in and I feel sorry for having kept her up so late. Not really on second thoughts.

I go to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee and see Juliette already busy chopping vegetables, with the help of her daughter.

« Maman ! Amelia is here ! »

She turns around and smiles at me.

« Did you have a sleepover ? »

« Yes, of course we did. » she kisses the top of her daugter's head.

I chucke, kids are so gullible.

« Can I have one too next weekend, with my friend Leslie ? »

« Non mon coeur, you are way too young ! » her mother explains.

(A/N mon coeur means my heart. Very common way to call your kid in France)

She quickly pecks my lips when Lily is not looking and gives me a large cup of black coffee. She tells me I can borrow clothes and a towel for my shower.

I get ready and settle on the couch with my laptop, I have some many email to answer to and some items are still not crossed on my to-do list. It's frustrating but some weekends I barely manage to have me time, but I don't really mind, I love my job and working, and what else could I do ? I can't cook so better stay out of the kitchen and avoid chopping my own fingers. I know it probably annoys Juliette but better get used to this, I'm not the type to procastinate.

« Amelia ? »

I am concentrating so hard I haven't noticed Lily has settled close to me, her head resting on my shoulder.

« Hum ? »

« What are you doing ? »

« Working. »

« Maman said it's time to eat. »

« Ok, I'm coming. »

I shup the laptop and stand up from the couch, Lily does too and she grabs my hand in hers but I shake it off.

« No, it's alright, I know where the kitchen is. »

It smells so good in there. Juliette cooked cordon bleu with caramelized vegetables.

« My god, this is delicious. » I tell her ater my first bite. « Are all the French good at cooking ? »

« I'm not sure. All my friends and family members can cook. You know we can spend hours sitting at a dinner table, eating, so better be something good. »

« It's raining today. » I completely change the subject as I notice the weather outside.

« Yup. Lily will turn into a monster on acid soon if she can't get out. » she sighs.

I offer to clear the table and Juliette accepts gladly. I hear her settle on the couch with her daughter to read her a story. Must be the Three Little Pigs as I hear them knock and blow, though I don't pick up any French words.

After the story, Juliette puts her into bed for her afternoon nap, before joining me in the living room to rest. She's exhausted from her night and soon falls asleep.

I let her sleep for a bit but then notice an addition to my to-do list, not one from my handwriting: Kiss your girlfriend.

I put the laptop on the coffee table and lie on top of her. She slowly wakes up but keeps her eyes shut.

« I'm really having a great time this weekend. »

« Really ? » she asks me.

I nod and give her bottom lip one gentle kiss. Her eyes are still closed but I feel her hands on my ass, slowly lifting the tshirt I had tucked in my jeans.

« You are so soft. » She tells me, as I feel her warm fingers on my bare back.

We kiss, slowly, our lips dancing in sync. I feel her tongue on my lower lip but decide not to grant her access immedialtey. She opens her eyes in surprise and I see the lust in them.

« You want to play hard to get ? » she asks me maliciously. And then she bites my lower lip, forcing me to open my mouth. She takes no time in sliding her tongue inside and exploring all the corners, making me moan.

I break the kiss and attack her neck, sucking and biting gently but suddenly I feel her hands on my shoudlers, pushing me hard and I roll on the floor.

« What the fuck ! Juliette ! »

And then I understand as I hear the tiny footsteps she had probably picked up before me.

« Maman ? j'ai fini ma sièste. » Lily says in a sleepy voice. (Mum, I finished napping)

Juliette growls in frustration and I see her mouthing a « sorry »

« Can we make cookies ? »

She looks at me and I'm certain she has noticed my red cheecks. I am definitely turned on by our make out session and I feel really frustrated.

« Sorry...mommy duty. »

« It's alright, I think I'm gonna go. »

« Oh, right. Yes of course. »

I see Juliette is hurt but she couldn't expect me to just move in with her right ? And with Lily awake there is zero chance we can finish what we started so what's the point of staying ?

« Have you got plans for Thanksgiving ? » I ask her.

I hope she does, I really don't want to invite her over to my parent's. Too soon. Adam would only pester me about her having a kid. And I can't imagine the look on mother's face if I come home with a kid.

« Yes actually. I'll be with Lea. »

Sure...who else.

« You are welcome to join us, I'm sure she wouldn't mind. »

« I'll think about it. I'll text you. » I kiss her good bye.
