Chapter 64: 10.000 Hours - Dan + Shay ft Justin Bieber (Part 2)

Cecilia's POV

Cecilia sits on the couch, while Julia vacuuming the carpet. Cecilia groping the seat next to her. "Julia?" Julia turned off the machine and looked at her wife.

"Yes, babe? Do you need something?" Julia asked as she looks at her wife.

"L-let me replacing you," Cecilia stands up, but Julia forbids her.

She holds her shoulders and kneels in front of her. "Focused on your clients," she said.

The couple stared into each other's eyes. Julia holds her hand, as stroked Cecilia's hair. "I'll be quick." Julia kissed her peck on her lips and a gentle smile drawn on her face. She pulls her to her embrace and lets her wife listen to her heartbeat.

"It supposed to be me, Julia. Not you," she mumbling. She lifts her hair and wiped her sweat on her face, "let me help," she demands.

Julia sighed. She strokes her hair and does not let a single word out of her mouth. Cecilia furrowed her brow and slap her shoulder. She wants to ask, but she doesn't have a courage to ask her. "Why?" Julia asked.

Cecilia keeps wipe her sweat, and she did not answer her question. "Do you love the rain? Does it make you dance?" Julia chuckling.

Cecilia raised her eyebrow and waits her to continue. "When you're drunk with your friends at a party?" Julia continues the song.

"Do you like pop?" Cecilia lean her head on Julia's chest and touched her shoulder. She remembered how Julia's hold on her scream every time she touched her wound.

"I love music," Julia said.

"What is your favorite song?" Cecilia unbuttoned her shirt, and she touched a wound scar on her shoulder. "Every time I touched this wound, I remember how hard you try to hold your scream." Cecilia lowered her tone.

Julia pulled her closer. And now, they are sitting on the floor. Julia keeps stroked her hair and smiled. No one dare to speak and focus on their own thoughts while enjoying warmth with each other. "Do you like to eat chocolate?" Julia asked.

Cecilia lifts her head and nods. "I love chocolate," she groping her wife's face.

"No wonder you are so sweet," she tried to picked line with her, but to her surprise, Cecilia hit her head.

"Cringe!" She tries to hide her red face.

Julia laughed while she rubbed her head, then she looks at her. "Babe," Julia calls her.

Cecilia replied with a hummed. Her face is still red and can't look Julia in the eye. Somehow, whenever she wants to spending time with her, she wants to see. She is tired of her condition without progress, and wants to ask her wife to do a surgery, but it will cost a lot. "Hey, what's wrong?" Julia asked.

Cecilia put her arms around her waist and lean her head on her shoulder. She ignoring her call, but she promises to always inform her what she needs. "I want to see your face," Cecilia said.

Julia grabbed her hand. A wide smile draw on her face and kissed her fingers with joy. "I will try as best as I can to grant your wish." she said.

Cecilia embrace Julia and leaned her head on her shoulder, "when we consult?" Cecilia played with Julia's finger. She took a deep breath and sighed. "Julia," Cecilia hugged her arms and leaned her head on her shoulder and closed her eyes and fills her lung with her scent.

Julia's scent is her new addiction. Since they met, Cecilia already predict this would happen. Her Nonno's death, Julia will become her wife, and Rico's betrayal. She grips on Julia's shoulder tightly.

She doesn't want to lose her. Her wish earlier. Is it too heavy? Or it's a burden for her wife? She wants to ask her, but her tongue as if locked.

Julia's POV

"If you are thinking it's hard to grant your wish…" Julia paused her words. She looked at her face and smiled. Cecilia's blue eyes had made her fall in love since when they met at that gas station. "…the answer is no." Julia continues her words. Cecilia widens her eyes.

She wants to interfere in her words, but Julia put her finger in front of her lips. "Let's we doing it together, okay? I don't want to use my dirty money in your surgery. For the first time," Julia took a deep breath. "I tried my best to follow the rules," Julia said.

A tears stream down from her eyes, "don't cry," Julia wiped her tears.

Cecilia slapped her shoulder as she laughed. "I'm not!" Julia just smiled and let she calmed for herself. Julia holds her hand. "Do you want to know me, right?" Cecilia shook her head.

"I already know you," she claimed.

Julia looked at her with a smirk draw on her face. "So, can you tell me?" She challenges her wife.

Cecilia sitting crossed-legged on the floor. "You love music." Julia nods.

"You right." Julia sits next to her and holds her hand. "What else?" Julia looking at Cecilia's face. Her appearance bewitched her. Simple, but beautiful. She wears a white simple dress, without makeup, and a flip-flop.

"Julia? Do you hear me?" Cecilia's voice makes her stop what she was staring at. "Are you okay?" Julia nod her head and took a deep breath. She lies on the floor and stared at the ceiling. It's hot that afternoon.

"I'd spend 10000 hours, and 10000 more…" Julia looked at her.

"Who cares?" Cecilia lies next to her and leaned her head on her chest. "I don't care with 10000 hours we spend, Julia. What I care about is…" Cecilia put her hand around her waist and kissed her cheek. "10000 hours or the rest of my life. I'm gonna love you." She lowered her tone to her ears.

Julia giggling because of the ticklish sensation. "I-it's ticklish, babe. Hahaha…" Julia rubbed her neck.

Cecilia's POV

Cecilia tightened her hugged and closed her eyes, and fills her lungs with her scent. She loves her scent. Everything about her, she loves it! She feels complete since Julia came to her life.

"Let's we opened our shops!" Julia said as she sits on the floor looked at her wife. Cecilia opened her eyes and pulled her into her embrace. Now Julia on the top of her..

"Julia Salvatore," she calls her. Julia hummed and rubbed her cheek with her thumb, and they stared at each other.

"Let's we have brunch!" They say in sync. The couple smiles at each other and enjoys their moment until a knocked on the door heard.

Julia helps her wife to stand up, and she took a deep breath. "Let's go," she handing her hand and smiled.

Cecilia accepts her hand, and she grabbed her hand.
