Juls just stared at him, near glaring at his attitude. How exasperating did he want to be? Merlin! Last night she might have been able to take it, but right now, right this second, she wanted an answer. She was being serious. This wasn't the casual banter. So she threw up her arms, looking away for a moment, clenching her jaw, rubbing her eyes. Anything to not look at him, and to control herself. Still, the biting, slightly wounded words came. "Right then. Thanks for the screw hun, I enjoyed it. Ta ta!" Whatever. She'd leave her purse there. Nothing in it was so important to her that she needed to keep this up, and she spun on her heels, her stride long and her hips swaying as she went back to his door. |

Edward watched as she was walking away. And he had no idea what to actually do. Yes it was her who started the whole fling thing. He just said that she shouldn`t be there because he had some unfinished business with a few Death Eaters. How many Death Eaters could treat a woman nicely? The problem was that she wanted him to explain his moves and it wasn`t who he was. He would never do that. Taking a deep breath he was about to turn aroudn when he heard a knock on the door. Appearantly... the guests were here. He cursed silently under his breath. "Julianna?" he called, not being sure where she had gone to. "Julianna?!" |

Juls had just about to open the door, her hand was on the handle, but a knock startled her out of her pissed-off reverie. She'd dropped her hand, and stood there staring dumbly for a moment. Vaguely she could hear Edward calling her name, but for a moment she didn't answer, trying to gather her thoughts. Well damnit. What was she supposed to do now? She was supposed to be able to storm out the door, her anger in place and leaving the last word. But now, wasn't she stuck? She didn't think she could just apparate away, and the man was calling her her. No doubt to tell her to hide somewhere. Juls scowled to herself for a moment, and then quickly ran a few spells over herself, making her clothes unrumpled, her makeup fresh, her hair smoothly cascading down her back again. And she opened the door with a languid, greeting smile. "Hello. He'll be with you momentarily. Please come in." |

Two men were standing outside the door. They looked like they`ve had ran away from Azkaban last day but had visited Madame Malkin`s shop on the way. Seeing Julianna the taller one turned to the smaller one. "Edward got himself a woman instead of a house elf..." he grinned. The smaller one looked up at Julianna and licked his lips. "Maybe for us?" he asked, laughing. After a second they both brushed past her and inside. It was obvious that they weren`t there the first time - they went straight to the living room and sat down on the couch. Edward quickly rushed down the stairs and grabbed Julianna by her arm. "What the hell do you think you`re doing?" he spat out at her, before letting her go and moving to the living room, a mess in his mind. Why did she do that? |

Juls' expression didn't flicker from the inviting, calm face she'd put on a moment later as she took in their appearances, her eyes looking them up and down. Interesting company Edward kept. At the shorter one's answer she very nearly laughed, but settled with smirking and answering, "Doubt you can match my price sweetheart." No, not money. But she'd let them think that. Men. She shut the door behind them, and as the men lead the way to the living room (oh yes, she fully intended on following), she looked up triumphantly at Edward's angry expression, ignoring his grip on her arm. "I'm opening the door, your guests are here." She answered cooly, watching him run into the room. She debated with herself for a moment. She'd done what she intended to do, but she'd admit his reaction and his guests made her curious. So fixing a smile on her face, Juls followed them in, winking when the two visitors looked over, answering smiles rising to their lips. She jumped up and sat on the bar, crossing her legs. Inavoidably thinking about the last time she'd been sitting there. The smirk on her face just widened as she looked at Edward challengingly. Oh, what dangerous games they played. |

Edward blinked few times before opening his eyes completely. He didn`t remember himself falling asleep. But he must have dozed off after... ah. He only then remembered what actually happened. And for few long moments he wasn`t sure how he was feeling about all that. The next thing he realized was that he was lying on the side, facing her, his hand one her waist. Strange. Because every single time in the past he`d just turn around and go to sleep, getting himself comfortable. He could feel her soft skin under his hand. Softly pulling his hand to himself he ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. Mostly because he didn`t know what to do. |

Juls had ended up facing away from Edward on her side, though she hadn't moved away; he was holding her waist. She was breathing slowly, but when he removed his arm, she stirred, as if the sudden lack of warmth jerked her to the living. She didn't move for a few moments, though, content to slowly come back into consciousness, shifting onto her other side to snuggle in closer. What she somewhat realized a moment later, though, was that he was awake. She could feel the bed shifting slightly as he did something, and reluctantly she opened her eyes, taking a few seconds to focus her eyes to the new light. In seeing that he was just messing with his hair, she smiled slightly and lowered her lids again, saying softly, "Hi." She didn't think it'd be like last time. Actually she had no idea, what he would act like, but considering he'd asked her to stay... Her mind was too jumbled to even think at the moment, so she just let herself settle and waited to see herself what would happen without worrying about it. |

Edward watched how her eyelids shivered and then opened after a second. He let his hand down, next to his side. Then just kept watching her. But when she closed her eyes once more he exhaled loudly. For some time he didn`t answer to her - he didn`t know what to say. It bugged him, that this was so hard. That he actually couldn`t get over and just do it. Why it felt as if he would have to keep a distance from her? To him, it made no sense. Or at least, no sense that he would listen to. It felt as if it was ages when he finally decided. "Hey." he spoke, raising up his hand again and brushing it down her cheek. No, he wasn`t going to let her think that he felt like he shouldn`t be there. |

Juls noted just how long it took to answer the greeting, and she opened her eyes again just as he was touching her cheek. It was only curiosity in her face as she looked at him, not worry, or wariness, or disappointment and hurt. She heard how he sighed. She saw that he'd moved his arm away from holding her so intimately. So she was confused, that was all. She hesitated, and then asked, "Penny for your thoughts?" Maybe she would understand better if she knew what caused him to think so hard. She herself didn't feel anything but contentment; she was warm, and comfortable, and she yawned as she stretched out her limbs, her toes pointed towards the end of the bed, her fingertips touching the wall. |

As she asked, Edward kept silent. Though when she stretched he smiled and ran his fingers down her stomach. Maybe even lying like this was somehow childish, but he didn`t care. He liked it. He enjoyed it, no matter how wrong it all sounded to him. After a second though, his smile dropped. Bringing his hand back to her face, he took a strand of her hair and began playing with it, between his fingers. And for once he decided to be at least a bit honest. "I can`t shake off the feeling that this is wrong." he spoke, pulling his eyes off of the strand and looking at her. "As if I shouldn`t let you be here." |

Juls laughed when he ran his fingers over her stomach, as she was very ticklish, and she curled back up, protecting it with a grin. She really didn't think he would purposely tickle her, but it was an instinctive reaction. He was smiling, which was a good thing, but then it disappeared. He was so fickle like that, she never could tell what he was thinking, or what his reaction would be... But then he answered her, playing with her hair, and she tried to comprehend it for a minute. Trying to distance herself from the fact it was her ; she wanted to understand him. "What do you think is wrong about it? And what do you think might happen if you would let me stay here?" |

With a sigh Edward tucked the strand behind her ear and brushed his finger through her lip. "I don`t know." he answered honestly. Being honest. This was something new. Especially with a woman that he didn`t know for long. Only for a few weeks. "Maybe it`s because of your age." he thought. "Maybe... I don`t know. I just feel that it`s wrong. For... some reason." he exclaimed and shook his head slightly. "Makes no sense, eh?" he asked and smiled once more. Although this smile didn`t reach his eyes. |

Juls let her eyes close slightly when he continued to touch her, just little things. It was comforting, almost, to have him constantly there. It didn't make things awkward. She believed him when he said he didn't know what he felt. Instinct was a funny thing, and she was a little worried that he had some kind of gut feeling that this was wrong. It didn't seem like guilt, because guilt she could work with. This, she had no clue. Age. Age was such a stupid thing. It wasn't like she was a teenager, or anything of the like. She was a grown woman, she could take care of herself, and yet, he still said it was wrong. And maybe it was, who knew? "Gut reactions are usually things you should listen to..." Juls answered reluctantly, shrugging a shoulder slightly. "But I don't understand...why. I don't mind about the age? But does it bother you?" |

Edward raised his eyebrow, as his hand traveled down her body, resting on her waist once again. "Are you suggesting me to do what my gut tells me?" he asked, getting a little bit closer to her, his thigh touching with hers. "As for the age..." he spoke, looking right at her. Then he smiled, this time a full smile. "Find a man that would be bothered by this." he said, his fingers slipping to her belly button and then down to her hip. "It`s... something, and I don`t know why." he said. "And maybe I never will." |

Juls nearly squirmed as he lightly touched her stomach again, but she just tensed and all was well. She smiled though, and shook her head, "I'd rather you not. I'm just saying people usually do." Or was people usually don't and bad things happen? Her thoughts were a little foggy at the moment, more on what he was doing than saying. It was relieving to know that he didn't mind the age thing, that this was just a reaction to his gut feeling, just trying to find a reason for it, and she leaned forward to kiss the edge of his smile, murmuring, "Well then I'm glad." Because then wouldn't it have been, well, that was fine, but my conscience and morals won't let me continue, bye? It didnt' seem like he was really following any of the weird feelings, and Juls nodded, "Or maybe we'll find out and it'll have nothing to do with us." Maybe the bad feeling was about the visitors from earlier. Maybe it was that he was forgetting something. Maybe...well, there were a lot of maybe's. |

Edward smiled a bit more as she kissed him. His first reaction was to kiss her back, but instead he just waited, knowing that this wasn`t all that she had to say. As she finished at last he grinned. "Yes, it`s all probably because of my next door neighbour..." he said ironically. But then he quickly turned, changing his position. Now he was on top of her, holding himself up by his knees and his hands. He looked down at her and grinned. "Strange... most of the time if I look at someone like that, they get scared." he joked, before beting down and kissing her softly. |

Juls sighed happily that this wasn't a rerun. No deja vu, at all. But she laughed when he mentioned the next-door neighbor, teasing, "Oh yes, he was pretty cute. Must have had a crush on you, for much he sent." She was definitely surprised though, when the next moment she was on her back and he was ontop of her, and she let out a slightly surprised giggle. That turned into a laugh when he said she should be scared. "At a look? Oh please, it'd take a lot more than that to scare meeee..." She smiled, and then slid her hands up to his shoulders as she kissed back. |

Edward laughed. "He? Well... to let you know, he`s a she." he said, grinning down at her. "And yes, she has a major crush on me." he teased her. "But in this case, age does matter." he leaned closer to her ear. "She is eighty-three." he joked. Pulling back up he watched her for a few seconds. This was so easy to just... be with her. And she made all that mess get away from his head. That moment he didn`t think about anything. And it was a really good feeling. At her answer he smirked evily. "Really?" he asked. "And what if I do this...?" he brushed his hands down her body and when he got to her waist he tickled her. Childish. And damn a lot of fun. |

Juls just laughed at her mistake, and then the commentary about her age, and winked, "Maybe it was her son I was in cahoots with." Or a nephew, another neighbor, a daughter's husband... Because of course she never actually was anywhere around there, just...here. It was awesome to see him smiling and joking around, but the evil smirk, well, she looked at him with slight nervousness, though she was grinning impishly. Who knew what we was going to do? Moments later she was squealing with laughter, squirming underneath him to get away from his fingers. He was tickling her? She didn't not expect that, at all. So she did the thing that anyone else did when they were tickled - tickled back. |

Edward grinned as she tried to tickle him. "I`m not afraid of tickling." he said, still tickling her. He laughed slightly at the way that she was squirming under him. And actually, he didn`t care at all, that this wasn`t like him. He didn`t let himself to think about it. After a moment he grabbed her hands and pressed them down on the bed, above her head. To do that, he had to stop tickling her. "I can do now what ever I want." he said, smirking once again. And yet, he only leaned down and kissed her lips. "But that wouldn`t be fair, now would it?" he asked, only pulling an inch away from her lips. |
