"Is this right?" Juliet said to herself after she applied her eye liner... she got up from her chair and leaned closer to her mirror... "it's not the same," She muttered and took out more wipes... she cleaned everything and started all over for the third time... Her mom or Florence were the ones who helped her with her makeup when it was needed... she had no idea what she was doing, and she was slowly getting pissed off at her own self... "That does it!" Juliet snapped at herself and dropped the eye liner... she sighed deeply, and she walked to her bathroom so she could wash her entire face... She still had about two hours left before Alex showed up, and knowing how he showed up sometimes, she had a feeling he might show up earlier... she left her room and decided to make herself a cup of tea before she continued with her disastrous makeup which she was already thinking of giving up on...maybe a some lips gloss and mascara was enough, they didn't require more work like the rest...
Alex attention was on Juliet from when the movie started to till the middle of the movie... she could feel his gaze on her, and anytime she turned to look at him, he quickly turned away... why was he looking at her... she thought he didn't want to hold hands anymore.... she couldn't even concentrate on the movie because her concentration was one someone who kept concentrating on her... By the end of the movie, They both just left silently... "That was a good movie," Juliet said as they walked out of the theater she didn't want things to become awkward between them and their night to be ruined... it was their first official date together... "Juliet," Alex called her name softly when they got to the parking lot... "Can I hold your hand when I want?" He said she was a bit taken aback by his question... did he even have to ask... was that why he refused to hold hands with her for almost two hours..."Do you really have to ask..." She said in a low voice and sighed deeply... Juliet swallo
"I shouldn't be here," Gina muttered to herself as she sat in her car... she sighed deeply and raised the card in her hand up... Why couldn't she stop thinking about this 'Charles' The words he had said to her before he left that day kept ringing in her mind over and over again and now she was here in the parking lot of his bar and even though she didn't want to admit it a part of her hoped he would pass by so she could at least get a glimpse of him... What right did he have to say those words to her... She was about to start her car engine and drive away from the parking lot, but her hair stopped midair... He probably wouldn't be there all the time... she tried to convince herself not to go... Gina gave her head a little shake before she opened her car door and came out of her car... Her sunglasses, which she always took with her, were in her right hand and her bag in the other... Her heart raced as she walked to the entrance of the bar... "Let's see the private room then," Gina m
Juliet stood up from her couch and headed to he front door when she heard the door bell ring... she thought at first that it was a package she was expecting that day... but she got a different type of package when she opened her door a package that made one's heart race... "Alex!" She said when she opened her door and saw Alex... They had spoken on the phone earlier and she had told him he didn't have to come... but here he was staring at her with that smile that made her heart flutter on his face... she didn't mean it when she told him not to come and she was happy to see him, but wasn't his flight in a few hours... "Isn't your flight in a few hours... I thought you left already! why are you here!" She said surpised to see him... Alex walked into her house and closed the door behind him... "I wanted to see you" He said and drew her into his arms... Alex gave Juliet a tight and hug... he was leaving for his business trip in a few hours and even though Juliet had told him he
"Alex is on a business trip right now... I don't know how long he will be gone, maybe a few weeks... I hope that is enough time for him and that girl to maybe grow apart or something... it pains me that I can not meet her again... I don't want to belittle myself and be that kind of mother... she isn't worth my audience, " Michelle said to Caroline, who almost scoffed at her sister's words... She knew Michelle was exactly the type of mother she said she wasn't... The overbearing kind... She knew her sister was trying to convince herself to be calm so she wouldn't get yelled at by Alex... This was a bit of good news for Caroline... she wished Alex wouldn't grow apart with this juliet girl... she wanted them to even become closer, that would make Gina be free, and she could try her luck for Charles... she knew Michelle would be mad about it, but Caroline cared less about her sister's feelings... Her son was far more important than that... "So are you no longer going to interfere and le
"You look happy, I don't think you got in trouble" Lana said to juliet in the coffee break room... a smile appeared on Juliet's face and she nodded... "it must be great news then" Lana pressed and juliet nodded. Sonia had told her just before she left her office that she shouldn't let anyone know yet about the promotion... "Yes the project is going really well, she just commended my work" Juliet said to lana who nodded but she still looked like she had a lot of questions which juliet wasn't ready to talk aboutJuliet finally took out her phone from her pocket, which had been on silent mode the whole time, so she could act like she was receiving a call and scurry away but She saw several missed calls from Alex and was sad that she missed his calls... there was also a message from him [YOU MUST BE BUSY, I HAVE A MEETING IN A FEW MINUTES I WILL CALL YOU WHEN I'M DONE] She checked the time and saw that it had been more than an hour since he called... she quickly went to her desk an
"i found some part timers, would you help me with their interview?" Johnny asked juliet, who had been lost in thoughts.... Ever since she talked with Alex on a video call, she had been overthinking things... Johnny knocked on Juliet's desk to get her attention before calling out her name... "Juliet!" Johnny voice finally snapped her back to reality... "Oh, sure," She said and gave her head a little shake... she was missing Alex already, even though he had only been gone for two days... The three days felt like thrrrweeks since she last saw him... It was so long... and he only had the chance to call or text at night, making her miss him the more... They couldn't even talk for long without an interruption...He had grown on her already. "Juliet!" Johnny called her name again when she suddenly became lost in thoughts again...He wondered what she was thinking so intently about... "Yes!" Juliet said and looked up at him... "They are here already and waiting. I would have asked lana
Gina sat in the living room of her father's house... a slight frown on her face... Her father had called her to have dinner at her place, and she immediately became unsettled... she was afraid he would try and talk about taking the boutique from her again... She could feel that headache coming up once more... The private room at Charles bar pooped up in her mind, and she sighed deeply... She was strangely at peace there, like she had left her facade off and could show her emotions freely without worrying about what people thought about her... She didn't even feel that way in her own apartment or office... Anna walked into the living room with a smile on her face and her phone near her ear, but her smile immediately dissipated as soon as she saw Gina seated on the couch and staring at her suspiciously. "I will call you back," Anna said and ended the call with whoever she was speaking to. "You seem to be in a pleasant mood today, Anna... were you talking to your little boyfriend... d
