I wonder how much longer I would have to keep smiling at a lot of unfamiliar faces. Well.. what can I say, Alice knows a lot of people that knows a lot of people.
"I have to say Juliet, your cake taste really lovely. Do you mind baking one for my niece's birthday." A woman who I don't even know. As a matter of fact, I just met her... Said to me. I just met this woman like about a minute ago and I'm already getting weary of her. What can I say... I'm not a people person. I love just being on my own. I can't even remember the woman's name.
I put on a fake smile and said in the nicest way ever. "That would be a pleasure ma'am, here is my card. You can call me."
Now, at this very moment I was about making my big escape when the disturbing, irritating woman spoke again. Argh.
"You know, the decor of the reception is really beautiful and elegant. But my own daughter's wedding reception would be more beautiful and elegant than this." Oh Jesus Christ!. First of all it was her niece, now is her daughter.
I really do not know what Is wrong with this woman. I thought people come to wedding to witness the true love between two people. To witness the joining of two lover's. But no, I think this woman only came to stare at the decor and the cake of course.
She probably wants to know what's trending, so.. she could make her daughter's wedding much more better. Ugh, she makes me sick.
"And of course you would also take care of her cake." She added... Ugh, someone stopped this woman from talking. God, don't you have a remote that you could use in muting her.
At that moment, my prayer was answered in the form of Mr Green eyes. Yup, the guy with the hard wall-like body.
"Hi beautiful, have been searching for you. Where have you been, and how could you just leave me all by myself. That's not fair you know." Mr green eyes said all at once.
Okay... What's going on. First he called me beautiful, which I'm not. I am hideous!.
Secondly, did he just say he has been searching for me. Why in the world would he be searching for me?.. I don't get it.
Thirdly, did he just said that I left him all by himself. I have come to the conclusion that Mr green eyes here, must have had a lot of drink. And that is why he is talking like a drunkard. You are so correct juliet.
"Is he your boyfriend miss juliet?." The irritating woman asked. Ugh.. why is she poking into my business.
"No."
"Yes." I and green eyes said at the same time. And ofcourse, I was the one who said no.
The woman looked at the both of us confused, "Uhm which one is it?."
"Actually she's my girlfriend. She's only mad at me and that's why she said no. We will both take our leave now." Green eyes said sharply, then held my hand and dragged me away. But before leaving I heard the woman mutter, "How could she possibly be mad at him. She's supposed to be grateful that he is dating a fat ugly lady like her."
Normally I should have been sad by her comments, but nothing can get through my thick skin now.
"Okay... What is the meaning of what you just did." I whispered yelled in green eyes face, once we were currently far away from the irritating woman.
"This was not the thank you I was expecting, but well.. I would take it." He said chivalrously, then gave a slight bow.
"Excuse me.. but are we actually speaking the same language right now, cause I do not know what you mean by the word *thank you* What should I thank you for exactly?." I glared at him fiercely.
"Well... For saving you from the lady earlier. I could see that you weren't in the least interested in whatever gibberish she was saying."
I rolled my eyes, "so what are you now? My savior. Oh no, my angel or are you my hero?." I asked him, my words laced with sarcasm.
"Wow, she's full of sarcasms. I see. Well... I guess I shouldn't be expecting that *thank you* right?." He says emphasizing on the word thank you, his ears where standing high, itching with hope. Ugh, yup another eye roll.
"No, you shouldn't hope for it or anything like it. I won't say thank you to you, cause I didn't ask you for it in the first place." I glared at him, raised my shoulders high and walked away.
I decided to spend the remaining time I had in the reception trying different types of deliciousness. But of course, a certain someone wouldn't let me taste my deliciousnes in peace. He kept on disturbing me, and refused to leave me alone.
Ugh, he is such a bug. Always bugging the hell out of me.
Thank fully, most of the time I was able to get rid of him and other times.... I wasn't really able to do so. Well.. that's by the way.
The reception has come to an end, my bestfriend is on a car heading for the airport and I am going back home. I meant going back to my bestfriend apartment, I have to make use of her jacuzzi and relax my fat self into the hot refreshing water.
I got into my car, I was about closing it when a certain unknown hand stopped me from closing the door.
"Uhm, I was wondering if you could drop me off by the nearest bus stop." Green eyes said to me, poking his head into my car. I don't get it, how In gods name is he related to Derek. I am one hundred percent sure he isn't related to Alice.
Alice would never have such a man as a family member.
"I can't drop you off, I'm not a taxi driver. Now if you don't mind, I will be off." Without giving him a chance to talk more further, I drove away in speed.
Now that's more like it.
Weeks passed and whatever happened between me and green eyes were forgotten into the busy week.For some reason everyone is celebrating one thing or another, the demand for cake and pie has risen to the top of my chart. It's either someone is celebrating his/her birthday or it's a wedding, a home coming. House warming, graduating party and so on.I can't say that I don't appreciate the extra cash but the stress it's getting on really bad.Right now, I have to go deliver a strawberry mint cake to a certain school, named penguins. Who in their right mind would name their school penguins, why couldn't the principal just named it eagle. Atleast, the parents would be rest assured that his/her child's grades would get skyrocketed. But penguins, seriously?.. penguins don't fly, nope.. they walk on the ground and swim, play around. Believe me, if I had a chance I would never send my child to such a school."Cl
It's been a week now and there's still no sign of Mr Green eyes. Not like as if I care, I'm just watching out for him and that's really getting me paranoid.Every knock on my door always gets me startled, and before I walk to the door.. I always wondered if it was green eyes at the door. And everytime, it always turned out that it's not him."Hey Julie, mind if I come in?." Simone asked his head poking into my office, his full body behind my office door."Why ask for permission, when you are already in? And also, there's a 't' after the 'e' always, remember to add it." I said to him, focusing back on the documents on top of my desk."First all of, I am not in. I had only my head poking into your office and the name Julie is much more better than juliet to my own hearing." Simone said sitting down on one of the chairs infront of my desk."I don't care if Julie sounds better to you. Juliet is my
"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
"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
(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
