"Are you for real? How could you say no to him. How could you refuse to go on a date with Jason. He is a hardworking guy, has his own company, and he is very handsome. He has a lot of girls asking him out. And here you had a chance to go out with him and you dared say no!!." Okay, you guess right. That's no one else but my bestfriend Alice. For someone who is in her honeymoon, she does know everything about what's going on in my life.
"And that is a much more reason for him to leave me the heck alone. I am sure, that those girls asking him out, are all slim and much more beautiful than me. So he should date one of them."
"Come on Juliet. How many times do I have to tell you, that you are beautiful and you should stop looking down on yourself. You are not just beautiful, but you also have a beautiful heart. Any man would be lucky to date you."
I sighed and rolled my eyes. Why would any man be lucky to date me. Just take a look at me, I'm afraid that I would be more of a burden to him than a luck asset.
"Alice, I'm not going on that date and that's final." I said deadpan. I won't let her change my mind on this.
"Fine, you don't want to go right?. That's okay with me. But seriously, you have to give love a chance again, not every man would be like all your ex's. Just give Jason a chance." With that said she hung up, not waiting for my reply.
Ugh, what did I ever do to her. Geez.
I was able to get off work early, and i ended up spending the remaining day in the jacuzzi.
One of this days, I would make sure to visit the spa. My body needs some beautiful relaxing message.
I got out of the jacuzzi when I heard my phone ring. Hmm, I wonder who is calling. As the withdrawn lady that I am, I only have about five people calling me. And that is - Alice, Simone, my mum and dad, and of course my ever loving sister(she only calls me once in a blue moon, and that's just to borrow money from me). So yeah, this are the only people who calls me.
I have a different line for my business, so I don't have to worry about any of my customers calling me.
I sighed tiredly, getting out from the jacuzzi. Right now, I wouldn't mind killing whoever is calling. Just because of that person, my jacuzzi time has been cut short. I took a white towel, and tied round my big fat body then walked into my room.
The phone has already stopped ringing by the time I got there, so I only looked at the number and it's an unknown number. I was about going back into the bathroom, when my phone rang again. Oh fuck! I guess there's no alone jacuzzi time right?.
I picked up the phone from my bed and swiped the green button, I placed the phone on my ear and said, "Hello."
"Hi love, was wondering if..." I removed the phone from my ear and stared at the number, was that Jason voice I heard just na?.
I placed the phone back on my ear, "Hey babe, are you still there. Hello."
"Jason?." I called surprised.
"Yes, it's me your one and only." He said in a charming manner.
"How did you get my number?." I asked him sighing. I shouldn't really have asked him that question, how could I have easily forgotten that my bestfriend gave him my number. She's a betrayal.
"A little birdie whispered it in my ear."
Does he really think, that I don't know who the little *birdie* is.
"What do you want Jason, if you want to order cake then you would have to call the bakery business line." I drawled uninterested.
"I'm here to remind you about our date, I'm glad you decided to change your mind."
Wait what? I changed my mind, when exactly did I do that. I do not remember changing my mind, so what the fuck is he talking about.
"I don't know what rubbish you just ranted, but I didn't change my mind. My answer is still a no."
"What, but Alice told me that you changed your mind and that you have agreed to the date." I could tell from his voice tone, that he is shock.
"Well, Alice was obviously lying to you. I didn't agree to the date, and I'm telling you right now that I have no interest in the date. So please, do not disturb me ever again, thank you." With that said I hung up.
Argh, I could really end up killing alice at the moment. How dare she do such a thing to me, ugh.
I walked back to the jacuzzi and continued with my jacuzzi time. Jason did call again, but I didn't pick up and Alice, also called but I also didn't pick up. I'm sure she's calling because of Jason.
*********
It's another day at my bakery, it's actually getting late, and am so god-damned tired.
"Good evening Julie, aren't you going home yet?." Simone asked strolling into my office in a very casual manner. What am I going to do with him.
"What happened to *knock before entry* simone." I asked glaring daggers at him.
"Well, I just choose to ignore it." He replied smiling sweetly. Sometimes, I really do begin to think that simone is a gay. But he always denies it.
"Leave my office Simone, I don't have the time of the day for this."
"Seriously, I took a minute out of my time, to ask my precious boss if she isn't going to get off work and all she has to tell me is this. Wow, just wow. I do not feel appreciated."
I face palmed myself tiredly, then looked up at him. "Simone, please do me a favour and leave my office. I have work to do and you are distracting me. Please, leave!."
He got up with a huff, "Fine I will leave. Since my presence is not wanted, I guess it's best that I leave anyway. Here is the bakery keys, since you would be leaving last I guess you will be the one locking up. Byeeee." He waved at me then left my office and probably the bakery.
Ugh, I should also leave now. At that moment, a call came through my office landline. I picked the phone up and answered it, "Hello."
"Good evening, I would like to order a mulberry cake." The lady at the other side of the line said.
"I'm sorry ma'am, but we are close already." I said.
"Oh my, please is there nothing that can be done. Please I will really appreciate it." The lady begged.
I sighed, then stared at the clock. 7pm. "Okay, I guess I can squeeze in some time. Just tell me where your are located."
"I'm at J and J limited, please bring the cake over there, and I wouldn't mind paying you double. I really appreciate."
"Sure, I will be there in just an hour." I replied her then hung up.
An hour later I was walking through the doors of J and J company, the company is a really big one. I was directed by one of the security I met on my way, to the top floor of the building. I began to wonder what was actually going on. Because I only came to deliver cake to an employee in the company. So why am I being taking to the top floor.
We got to the top floor, and the security made me pass through the elevator door and I ended up finding out that I was on the roof of the company building. I turned around ready to ask the security man some questions, but he wasn't there anymore. Okay.... What's going on?
Then suddenly, the light came on, jazz music started playing in the back ground and OMG, the place is a beauty and for the music, I totally love it.
"From your expression, I can tell that you like it." A voice I knew to well said from behind me. I turned around abruptly and yes, is no other other person but jason in the making.
"Jason, why are you here. And what's all this." I said making reference to the decorations and the light. And oh, there's also a table and two chairs, decorated nicely, with food on top of it."Have you forgotten our date so soon?." Jason asked her frowning."How can I forget something that I didn't even agree to.. in the first place." I asked challenging him with my stare."Come on Juliet, I already planned this whole thing out. Please, do not let all my efforts go to waste." He pouts. I rolled my eyes, "I don't care about anything that you must have planned out, if I can remember clearly. I never asked you to plan any of this. And well... I can see that you are the one who ordered the cake, so pay up and I will be on my way.""What about.. I pay you, after you have had dinner with me." He grinned."How about.. you pay up, and I will be on my way." I replied him smiling."Ugh, just
I stood infront of my parents house with this deep spiral hole in my heart. Today is Friday, and every last Friday of the month, I am expected to have dinner with my family. When I say family, I mean my mum, my dad and my twin sister. Sometimes, I wish that she's not my twin. But wishes are not horses, I can't ride on them."Aren't you going in sis. Don't tell me you are afraid of been reminded, of all your childhood ugly memories." Julia my twin sister said in her very loud disgusting, annoying voice. She parked her car beside where I was standing, and came down from it."Hi Julia. Nice to see you again." I gave her a tight-lipped smile.She chewed on her bubble gum loudly, and it irks the hell out of me. She knows the effect the bubble gum has on me, and that's why she does it. "I don't know juliet, I really don't know if I can say the same for you. It's not nice seeing your fat ugly body on a very fine evening."
"Juliet! Are you gonna spend the remaining life span you have at the door." My sis yelled from the dinning, I hate her!."Yeah juliet, are you just going to keep on standing infront of me. Won't you let me in." Jason said in his usual annoying voice. I hate him!."What in God's name are you doing here. Wait, how did you even get to know my house?. Are you stalking me?." My face held a look of shock, as I stared at him."Hmm, kind of. Maybe I am stalking you, who knows." He chuckled."You bastard from the pit of hell." I glared at him strongly, if wishes were true, then he would probably be burnt right now."Okay, I am not a bastard. Yup, I have a mother and a father, if you must know. And no, I am not from the pit of hell. Infact, I am from New York." He smiled, I hate his smile. Infact, I hate every single thing about him. I hate his cute smile, I hate his amazing dark hair, I hate his beauti
I got into my car and was ready to drive away, but my sis stopped me. With her head poking into my car window, she said... "I don't know what just happened in there between you and Jason, but I don't want to know.. neither do I care about it." She paused, her eyes sending daggers at me. The daggers did hit me but just dropped to the floor, it had no effect on me. "I want you to know that Jason is mine, very soon I would be getting married to him.. and don't worry, I will make sure you are the first to get the invite." She gave me a toothy smile and stood back up straight, she walked only two feet away from my car and came back to my car window. She grinned, "on a second thought. There's no valid reason on why I should be paranoid, and do you know why?." She stared at me dauntingly, I didn't see any valid reason on why I should answer her dumb question, so I kept quiet. "You don't have to answer, I will tell you sis
I woke up the next morning to the ringing of my phone. I took the phone from on top my bedside drawer. I smiled see it's green eyes calling. I kind of saved his number on my phone as green eyes. Jason, feels so boring. I think his mother should have called him green eyes."Hey, good morning." My voice came out husky and groggy. It sounded weird."Wow, I never knew your voice would sound so lovely on the phone, in the morning. I would have been calling you a really long time." I blushed at his words. His voice is naturally fresh unlike mine. Ugh."Ohh please, don't try lying to me. I know how my voice sounds right now, and I know it's not close to being beautiful or lovely." I sat up on the bed, yawning a little."How can I possibly be lying, when it's the truth."I groaned, climbing down my bed and wore my slippers, "Jason, please... I'm not ready for your tricks or anything that has to do wit
The rest of the day went by like a breeze. Simone didn't stop disturbing me about my very broad smile. And well.. I just had to try my best in ignoring him."I'm done for the day Simone. Please, make sure you lock up early." I yelled walking out of the bakery. "Yes boss." He yelled back.I opened my car door and hop in, I was about starting my car.. when Jason call came in my phone.My smile got broader, I swiped the green button. Ugh, I feel so.. fussy in my stomach. "Hey beautiful." Jason charming, lovable voices comes through my speaker. Just hearing his voice, make my smile intensify. All my life, I have never felt this way before. Not with my previous boyfriend."Hi." I said shyly, giggling slightly. Why won't I just stop giggling! Ugh, I'm behaving like a highschool girl in love for the first time. And please, I wouldn't want to tag this fussy feeling as love yet."Okay... Did I just hea
Jason took me to a five star italian restaurant, everything was just so beautiful and sparkling.. but I also felt completely out of place. A five star restaurant, isn't my kind of place. I would prefer going to a hamburger stand, and get myself a hamburger and maybe an orange juice. And then walk through the street of america. This is my kind of date."Do you love the food. Does it suit your taste buds?." Jason asked, staring at me curiously. Now, I would love to say.. I do not like the food and no! It doesn't suit my taste buds. But I can't really tell him that, can I? I am sure he really did put in a lot of effort. I'm sure getting a table here must have cost him a fortune."I love the food. It taste really nice." Came my answer, my fork stabbing through the ham. Whoever is responsible for cooking this ham, knows nothing about food."Okay.. what do you think about the restaurant?."Why is Jason bent on
His lips were soft and chapped at the same time, his tongue was long and thin... unlike any of my past boyfriend. His tongue thrust into my mouth, scouting the insides of my lips. Both his tongue and mine, fought for dominance.. being the lady, I submitted to his will.He groaned, his strong arm's going around my body. He held me closer to his body, merging us... I felt safe and comfy in his arms, and soon every ounce of cold left my body. All I could feel was the heat emanating from Jason.I moaned in-between the kiss, my hands working on his shirt button. My hands suddenly stopped moving, my senses came back to me... What are you doing? Juliet.... My subconscious asked.Jason noticed that I wasn't responding to his kisses no more, so he stopped. "What's wrong?." He asked, his eyes gazing into mine softly... holding my face in his hand. I had no option but to look in his eyes, since I couldn't avoid his gaze."Noth
(Juliet’s POV)For some weeks now, I’ve kept noticing that something was wrong with me. Especially my mood, the way it goes on and off is really worth to be questioned. The worst part would probably be how some of my favorite foods were starting to irritate me and make me feel as if I wanted to puke.“Are you alright?” Jason asked with Eric in his laps. Both of them were staring at me as I hit my chest for the fourth time in a row. They noticed that something was off about how I was behaving, and the way I had shaped my mouth too.“Mom?” Eric asked, and I nodded.“I am alr…” I had wanted to respond both of them that I was okay. And that I was only feeling something rise up in me abnormally, but I was cut short by the way the ‘thing’ suddenly gassed up inside me, fueled. I ran to the toilet, burying my head inside the water sink, and letting myself pour out all that vomit.Jason was behind me, covering Eric’s face as I puked into the white sink. He softly pulled him behind him, moving
(Juliet’s POV)The wedding party was over. The only thing left right now was for the newly wedded couples to leave for their honeymoon.I couldn’t possibly count how many wishes and prayers were devoted towards Jason and me with each steps we took. It was as though there were people placed around everywhere we were walking past.“Hey girl, you are good.” Alice said, kissing me on the cheek and hugging me so tightly. “Make sure tonight is memorable. Check your luggage, I dropped something in it. Make sure that’s what you wear tonight.”“You are naughty.” I said, spanking her on the butt. I knew exactly what she was talking about. I didn’t need anybody to tell me Alice was fantasizing about me having sex with Jason tonight, but it was less awkward compared to the first time, actually.“That’s what makes life spicy, no?” She said and we both burst out laughing. Jason pulled up the car in front of me, meaning that everything was set and we were supposed to leave already. I hopped into the
(Juliet’s POV)Alice rushed into the toilet, vomiting into the white sink that was right in front of her. She opened the tap and cleaned her mouth with the water that ran through it. I was behind her, watching her as she cleaned herself up. While she did her thing, all that was in my mind was fear. Was my best friend sick when it is the morning of my wedding day? Oh shit, I hope not.“Are you alright? Is everything okay?” I asked, moving closer to her as I wiped her wet face off with the handkerchief that was with me. She stood up upright and looked at me, nodding as a response to my question.“Yeah, I’m okay. I was just dizzy and suddenly felt irritated inwardly. That was why I vomited. Nothing is wrong with me, so put your mind at rest and let’s get you prepared.” She said, plastering a smile on her face. However, I still had some doubts about Alice. Part of me felt like she was only pretending to be strong because she didn’t want me to feel guilty as I would head down the alter lat
(Juliet’s POV)I went to the bridal shop to get my wedding gown. Alice and Julia asked to tag along to check how perfect it was. There was Adam too who begged to follow; I allowed him since he was gay anyways, and seeing me in the wedding gown wouldn’t mean a thing to him.We got to the bridal shop wherein I went into the changing room to put my wedding gown on. Alice, Julia and Adam waited for me outside the changing room, straining their eyes to see what I was going to show them anyways. I was done putting on the wedding gown, so I pushed aside the curtain at the changing room, stepping outside with so much finesse and beauty. I had hardly taken more than two steps when I was met with series of claps from the three of them. It sounded like a rainstorm, carrying so much of excitement.“Wow. Your gown is preeeeetty. I’m jealous.” Alice said, holding the tip of the gown and caressing it with so much care. I blushed at her words, praising myself for having a good eye for the gown, and c
(Juliet’s POV)I was going to be getting married to Jason few days after today. We were both in the room right now looking through the list of what we needed for the wedding to confirm if we haven’t left anything out at all. Jason and I skimmed through the lists, checking out what we already have ready on ground.“The wedding gown?” Jason asked, holding out the list.“Checked. Although I will have to go check it out in my room later.” I replied, and he ticked it up in the list that was with him.“I think we are all set. Everything is ready and all checked. I’m really happy and anxious.” Jason said, dropping the list to hold my hands.“Yeah, me too. I can’t describe how happy I am right now.” I said, burying my head under his broad chest. “I will be leaving your hotel room to mine today though. I won’t be staying with you here again. It’s our wedding soon, we can’t keep on seeing each other.”He scratched his head playfully, giving me a type of gaze that suggested to me that he underst
(Juliet’s POV)It was so surprising when I suddenly heard a group of people said ‘congratulations’ at the same time behind me, and clapping towards us. I withdrew my lips from Jason’s, trying to see who they were. They were my family. Julia, Alice and Judah too were among them. I saw Eric’s face twitching with delight. I figured out he understood what was going on even if he was just a little kid.“I’m happy for you, Juliet.” Alice said, wrapping her hands around me. I did the same, too, patting my best friend in the back as she started wishing me good luck and prayers. It would be an understatement to say that everything that happened here today, and that was going to happen in the future, regarding my happiness with my family, was all because of Alice. She was a friend that stood by me through my thick and thin. Even I didn’t know how well I could thank Alice. But, I started it simple first.“Thank you.” I said, as tears rolled down my cheeks as I remembered everything I had been th
Chapter 86(Juliet’s POV)Julia was still deeply hug within my grasp when the door handle turned and the door flung open. It was our mom. She rushed towards us, making the ‘awwn’ sound about our reconciliation.“Mom? What are you doing here?” Both Julia and I asked at the same time. We thought we had asked all of them to leave the room for us when we were about to talk. Who knew mom was still by the door eavesdropping on everything we had said? Hehehe.“I heard everything, darlings. I couldn’t resist the urge to put my ears behind the door and listen to all that you were saying. And it so lovely and beautiful to know that both of my daughters have been able to solve their differences and finally reconcile. I’m so happy right now.” Mom said, while both of us sisters beamed with a large smile.Mom had hardly spoken when dad appeared too behind. Apparently, he had heard everything too, but was not going to show up till he sees how we were going to take it. He shoved his face through the
(Juliet’s POV)“Why exactly are you so jealous of me?” I asked again. This time around, her eyes twitched but she still burst into laughter. Of course I knew she was only trying to hide the fact at first, she was still going to come back to her senses?“What the hell do you mean ‘hate’ and ‘jealous’ of you? Like, I literally have everything you don’t have, babe. I have the perfect body that turns men’s heads; I’m so pretty a stranger would beg to stare at me for hours; my model-like body is a killer, and literally, everyone fucking loves me where you are despised. So, why would I even bother to care about you at all when you aren’t a threat to me in any way?” She asked, laughing maniacally. This time around, she had stopped leaning back on the entrance and was standing on her own right now.“Well, you tell me, because the signs of your jealousy are there, sis. You are literally so jealous of me and I don’t know why you would fail or be blind to believe that you are. You aren’t being t
(Juliet’s POV)My head aches lightly, yet I still couldn’t help but feel how heavy it is right now. I gently opened my eyes to see where I was. I don’t remember anything that happened. I don’t even know where I was right now. My sight was first blurry at first before it started to become as clear as day. I tilted my head to my right side and found Alice sitting beside me on a plastic chair. Both of my parents were sitting at the left side, while Simone was standing by the foot of the bed, his head was buried into his palms.“What happened? Where am I?” I asked, and everyone’s attention went right back to me. It was as if they had heard something sinister because they all sprung up immediately, checking me out to see if I had really just talked.“Are you okay, my daughter?” My mom asked and I nodded. I noticed the drip that was being passed into me as I tried to sit upright on the bed. The headache flushed over me immediately as I moved it upwards. “You should rest. You are not okay fo
