The next night, before dinner, Julian was getting his daily workout in. Brady had not seen much of him the past few days and decided to catch him while he could.
“Hey, stranger,” Brady said.
“Hey, dad.”
“What’s going on?”
Naturally, Julian completely missed the point Brady was really trying to get at.
“I met this girl named Rose! Aww man…you should have seen her! She was like…was like…like walking sunshine!”
“Rose, huh,” Brady asked suspiciously.
“She’s got this long blonde hair and these super green eyes that look unreal. She’s so beautiful!”
“Uh huh…”
“And like, I wasn’t even, like, looking for anyone! She just came out of her house and started talking to me!”
“Oh?”
“I wonder if it’s too early to call her. I mean, we just met yesterday. Forget it. I’m calling her! She’s probably waiting by the phone because…well, who wouldn’t?
“I can’t WAIT to hang out with her!”
“I see…
“…That’s a shame. I was looking forward to seeing more of Jeannette,” Brady said in disappointment.
But, Julian’s mind was somewhere else.
“…what, dad?”
Ugh Julian, I think you need to get a new prescription on glasses. You are simply too good for them! I think a more… J sounding coloured glasses would do WAAY better!
Yes…the J.D. prescription!
Yes!!
Hehe…oh, the rush of meeting someone fun and new. Wears off, though Julian. Wears off…
Heh, right?
Guh. Julian! Beyond the fact that he’s totally infatuated with Rose for all of the wrong reasons, and totally denying and ignoring his feelings for Jeannette, he is also just being pompous and entirely too self-centered. He needs to sit down with himself, do a little meditating, and really process what is going on. He’s right in thinking positively about himself, but he needs to know more about who he really is than just how awesome other people think that he seems on the outside. Clearly he is putting on a front of some kind to avoid what is really affecting him deep down.
TRUTH
Aw, I want to hate on him, but y’know – he’s young. If there’s ever a good time to be impulsive and a bit dense, that’s it. 🙂
Also true!
Julian is definitely wearing rose-tinted glasses, I hope he gets over this Rose girl soon.
He will 🙂
I just realized that both of us had clueless heirs recently. Jay sure got his stuff together faster that Julian though. Come ON, Julian!!!
He he, yeah ☺
He he, yeah ☺ We’ll see what happens tomorrow
I think he’s cute in all his cluelessness!
Yeah lol
This too shall pass.
Amen lol
