Kenny Has A Tender Moment With Tipsy Julie

"Kenny?" Juliet insisted, her tone remaining soft and friendly. Kenny let out a hum, shaking out of his thoughts, and looked up at his cousin, "Bella? Did you see her on your way back?"

"Oh right," Kenny replied with a nod of his head, "Sorry, I was thinking about...something else. Yeah, I ran into Bella, she's not coming back actually," Juliet's eyes widened and her body sunk down, "N-Not because she's upset or anything! She said a client came early and she had to leave for work,"

"Oh!" Juliet relaxed and went for her glass of wine, sipping it thoughtfully, "Considering where we are right now, whatever she does must be very important. No wonder she rushed off," Kenny gave his eyes a slow role. Yeah, I'm sure the guy she's with considers this very important. Juliet looked around the restaurant for a moment, "Do we have to leave now?"

"No, Bella said that the meal has already been taken care of so we can get what we like and then leave when we're ready," Kenny explained causing a broad smile to grow on Juliet's face,

"This is so fucking awesome," The brunette's body wiggled giddily in her seat, "Look at us, Ken, we're eating in the VIP section of the fanciest restaurant in the city. Us! Can you believe it?"

Kenny seemed to relax in his seat and he let out an easy laugh, "Yeah...it is pretty neat," He eyed his cousin as she grabbed the wine and refilled her glass, "Though some of us appear to be drinking more than eating,"

"Give me a break," Juliet waved him off, "I never drink, but this stuff is amazing, and I mean, come on. When will I ever get the chance to do it again?"

Kenny held up a hand and lamented, "Fair enough, you enjoy yourself, I'll drive home,"

"You're the best," Juliet warmly said just as the waitress returned to the table.

"Miss Greene told us she'd no longer be joining you for dinner. Not to worry, though, everything will be taken care of," The waitress announced as she pulled out her notepad, "If you don't mind me saying, you seem like a lovely couple. Now, what may I get you?"

Kenny's brow jumped and he looked to Juliet about to laugh, but Juliet spoke up without hesitation, "Thank you so much, we're actually here for our first anniversary," Kenny stared at his cousin in shock, "See, we met the first year of college in calculus. I am god-awful when it comes to math sometimes, but Kenny always handled it with ease. Lucky for me, he was also kind and helped me when I struggled," The waitress gave Kenny an endearing look before returning attention to Juliet, "We ended up having regular study sessions together, and then one day...I was lucky enough for him to ask me out on a date. Best decision I ever made," Juliet reached over and put her hand over Kenny's, giving it a tight squeeze, "I had a feeling this was Bella's plan all along for us today,"

"That's beautiful, and I'd wager you're right. Miss Greene is a very clever woman," The waitress said with a light laugh,

"Yeah, she appears to be..." Kenny hummed aloud as he cleared his throat and looked down at the menu. It only took a few minutes for Juliet and Kenny to both place their orders for their high-end meal and for the waitress to offer another complimentary bottle of wine on the house for their "anniversary" which Juliet was all too eager to accept. After returning with the bottle and finally getting another few minutes alone, Kenny gave his cousin a half-glare, "Want to tell me what all that was about, darling?"

Juliet innocently giggled as she sipped her drink, her white cheeks already starting to become flush as the **** was getting to her, "Well, I figured we should have a cover story since we're not supposed to be here drinking this wine. If we told the truth, questions get asked, blah, blah, blah, and boom before we know it we're asked to leave and our little date is ruined," Kenny shifted in his seat at the terminology, "The second reason was that," Juliet grinned, "I get to see you squirm because I'm pretending you're my boyfriend and that is priceless,"

"Shut up and drink your wine," Kenny rebuked, keeping his head down to hide his pink cheeks. Like it or not, Juliet was right, the idea of pretending to be her boyfriend was making him squirm. He never had that kind of fantasy before, but the idea of dating Juliet wasn't a far cry from his real fantasy of getting his cousin into bed. Neither was something that should be on their minds and considering the mindfuck Bella just gave him, he was more determined than ever to keep a lid on his desires for once.

Thankfully the rest of their dinner went off without a hitch. The pair got their food, made some small talk regarding Kenny's car, workouts, and hope for the future try-out at the academy as well as Juliet's desire for college to start and to join her sorority with Quinn. Without the need to pay a bill, as soon as they were finished the two Clarks made their way out of the restaurant, received their promised bottle of wine, and headed down to the first floor. Exiting the Icy Bliss, they retrieved Juliet's car, which Kenny graciously helped his tipsy cousin into before climbing into the driver's seat and heading off back towards town.

The long journey wasn't exactly something Kenny was looking forward to, but as Juliet popped the bottle and began to sip, the teen realized he was going to be dealing with a little bit more than he expected. Music was quickly turned on as the brunette continued to sneak sip after sip keeping herself at just the same stage of drunk the entire ride. Kenny was starting to grow used to the slurring scream-singing by the time they were thirty minutes outside of Greenwall, but as it turned out, Juliet realized she had a few things on her mind she needed to talk to Kenny about.

Hitting the mute on the radio, the brunette turned her entire body in the seat so she was now facing her cousin, "You are going to call Tessa, right? Or I mean...like...answer when she calls you?"

Kenny peered over to his cousin and let out a low sigh, "Oh boy..." Kenny readied himself, uncertain where this conversation would take him as anytime he talked to Juliet about his personal life in the past...it rarely went well, "Yes, Julie, I won't be a prick and ghost her or anything,"

"Good!" Juliet exclaimed, "Because Tessa is someone you should talk to. I can see it for once, it took a long time, but I finally see it!"

Kenny let out a half scoff, "Yeah, shouty? What is it that you see?" He asked in a teasing fashion,

"You! Er...you two!" Juliet took another swig from the bottle, "Like, when you two were talking today, I could just see it. You'd be good with her, and she'd be good for you! She's responsible, capable, cute, and she was flirting with you so hardcore, it's exactly what you need!"

Kenny let out a genuinely bewildered laugh, "I'm sorry, am I talking to my cousin right now? I couldn't be because the real Juliet has always found a reason to complain about every last person I've been interested in since middle school. Oh and she's also dictated I wasn't allowed to ever get too close to anyone she deems as a friend. What happened?"

"Okay first off," Juliet raised a finger, "I only do that shit to protect you. Excuse me for wanting to make sure you end up with someone worth you. You don't need some bitch who disrespects you, or some slut who'll cheat on you, you need someone good. Someone who cares, and who is responsible. Second off --"

"You don't need to put off after that," Kenny snickered,

"Shut up! Second off, Tessa isn't so much a friend, more a friend of a friend, meaning I'm cool with it. And third! Er, third off!" Kenny gave his eyes a playful roll, "Fuck you, I'm always looking out for you, even if that pisses you off. I know a lot about these girls who are my friends and they don't work for you. Trust me,"

"Uh huh," Kenny hummed, "Well thank you so much for all your dedicated service," Julie grumbled something under her breath and took another long drink, "You know you should stop drinking before we get home. My mom and dad will be pissed if they find you cocked,"

"Oh shit!" Juliet shouted, "Oh no! Kenny, they are going to be so mad! We can't go home! Not like this! Fuck, what do I do?" Kenny sighed and after a minute got off on an earlier exit, "Wait, where are we going?"

"Your mom is still out of town, we'll go there for the night, let you sober up, and then go home in the morning, alright?" Juliet relaxed in her seat and nodded, "Good, now just relax, we'll be there in a few more minutes,"

Fifteen minutes later, Kenny pulled Juliet's car into the driveway and got out. He lightly jogged around the side and helped his cousin out of the car. "I'm fine, I'm fine," Juliet attempted to deny help as she got to her wobbly feet,

"Suuuuure you are," Kenny put an arm around Juliet's lower back and walked alongside her step for step, helping her into the house. After a short struggle to get Juliet up a flight of stairs, her room was thankfully the first door next to them. He pushed inside and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.

The bedroom was much larger then the one she used at his parents house. The bed was a giant king, she had a mounted television, multiple dressers along with a walk in closet, among other comfortable furniture for when she would have friends over. Yet, the room look closer to a guest room then Juliet's bedroom. Unlike at his house, Juliet had no pictures up of her and her friends, nothing to adorn her shelves and tables. Everything was pristine, and it only dawned on him again just how little Juliet actually spent here.

"Come on Jules, lets get you in bed," Kenny softly said to the girl,

"Ken...you don't hate me do you?" Juliet softly pouted as Kenny set her on the edge of the bed and knelt down to take her shoes off,

The teen looked up and stared into Juliet's eyes,"Why would you ask me that? Of course I don't hate you, Julie,"

Kenny pulled off her shoes and set them to the side, "I really do everything out of love. I want you to be happy, but I don't want you heartbroken. You're...you're one of the best guys I've ever known, and the idea of you being with anyone less then perfect isn't fair,"

"No one is perfect Julie," Kenny stood up and helped his cousin lay down, "But I know, and most of the time I'm thankful that I have someone like you that's always on my side,"

Juliet's hand reached out and took a bundle of Kenny's shirt, "I'll always be on your side...I just...ugh," Juliet squeezed her eyes shut, and let out a soft whimper,

"Hey," Kenny whispered in a comforting tone and leaned in, "Hey, hey, hey, what is it? Huh? What's wrong?"

"I feel like an asshole all the time. I always feel so alone and you're the only one who makes me feel better. I want you to be happy, but I don't want to suddenly lose you to someone else. I've tried so many fucking times to find someone that could make me happy and every fucking time they aren't...aren't..." Juliet chewed on her lip and finally opened her wet eyes to look at Kenny again, "They aren't you. You're the kind of guy I want. I've spent so many nights wishing that we weren't cousin's, you know? So that way I could be happy. I could be with someone real who understands me,"

Kenny stared back at Juliet, his eyes slightly wide and at a loss for words on how to respond. Everything started to make sense in his mind, all the protectiveness, the rigorous defending...the teasing? "Julie...I --" Juliet pushed up and pressed her lips against Kenny's. Two heavy exhales breathed from their noses and for just a few seconds, nothing else existed in the world. As the kiss broke Kenny turned his head and stood up, "Julie...you need to get some rest," Even if he wanted to keep going, he couldn't. Juliet was drunk, she might not even know what she's saying let alone doing.

"Okay..." Juliet mewed contently, her eyes already shut, "Don't leave...please?"

"I'm not going anywhere," Kenny assured the brunette while wandering over to a couch on the other side of the room, kicking his shoes off and laying down. The teen stared up at the ceiling, his mind mostly blank and his lips still tingling as Juliet's soft snores filled the room.

Sorry that the story has slown down when it comes to the sex scenes as of recent, having to set up the new characters and also delve further into Kenny and Juliet's relationship has made things into a much slower burn these last set of chapters. I do hope you guys have been enjoying it none the less, and we'll be getting back to some familiar faces very soon haha.
