51|romeo's time

Present day...

Romeo lead me outside into the garden. The night was getting colder but Romeo gave me his hoodie and I wince at the harsh weather. I pull the sleeves down to cover my hands but Romeo grabbed my hands anyway. We made our way through the ring of flowers. My eyes lit up at the sight. Blankets, pillows, candy, popcorn. There's also a sheet hung up to project a film onto. I whip my head to look at Romeo. He's biting his lip nervously.

"Come on!" I'm now the one tugging at him to move. He follows after me and I pull the blankets over body. Romeo gives a judge mental look  yet playful. I lift the blanket up, signalling for him to lay next to me. He nods his head and smiles. His body rolls down further into the sheets. I rest my head on his shoulder as he sets up netflix.

He hands me the remote and I go to the movie section. I rub my lips together, trying to find something to watch. I stop at The Notebook. My head flashes to see if Romeo would watch it.
"I'll watch whatever you want to watch." His hand begins rubbing small circles on my soft skin.

The movie begins and I dig in to a bowl of skittles. I peer over my shoulder to find Romeo watching intently as the film continues. I bite back a laugh as I have an idea. I pinch the skittle between my fingers and throw a couple at him. His head snaps and a playful gasp comes from his mouth. 

"Oh you want to play like that huh?" He grabs the bowl of popcorn and throws piece after piece. My laugh echoes throughout the cold air and some hits close to my eye. Romeo put the popcorn down and became quiet before he began chuckling himself. Our food fight came to and end and we snuggled close together. 

His hand eventually finds it's way to my upper thigh. His hand slowly reaches higher. His fingers trace patterns over my petite body. I lean in closer to him until his body is on top of mine. His lips hover and I press up to kiss him. The moment becomes heated and I pull of his hoodie as the heat gets to me. 

His hands hold tight around my waist and slowly move up and down. My hands are around his torso, mimicking his movement. His lips trail from my lips to my jaw. From my jaw to my neck. From my neck to my chest. I gasp at his movements. My body is on fire. He notices my gasp.

"Is this okay?" He questions, panting.
"Yes, keep going." I sigh, missing his touch immediately. 

He continues and I feel his body pressing closer and closer. He leans back and awkwardly rubs his hand over the back of his neck.
"I should stop." He's still panting.
"I don't want to stop." My voice is quiet but I know he heard me. His lips smash against mine.

Our moment from a minute continues. His hand reaches into his pocket. In his hand is a small silver wrapper. His eyes level to my own.
"Can I?" His voice is raspy and low.
"Yes." My voice is small.

Our bodies end up tangled in each others and both of us finish. I lay my head on his bare chest. We watch the film in a comfortable silence until I feel my eyes become heavy. I don't attempt to keep them open.

I woke up to two soft hands on each side of my face. I blink my eyes a few times and Romeo's eyes are ahead of mine. I'm in the comfort of my own bed and Romeo's T-shirt covers my body.~
"It's time to wake up. It's half ten." He strokes my cheek again. I groan in reply pull the blankets over my head.

"Baby we promised Rose we would get lunch at Starbucks." His voice is comforting.
"Mkay. Two minutes and I'll be in the shower." I take a deep breath and stretch. My feet find the floor and I'm trotting to the bathroom. My towel is on the rack and Romeo has laid out my favourite outfit out for me. 

The hot water feels like a fire igniting all over my body yet soothing. I wash my hair and my body, taking my time. I hum a tune or two and just relax. I close my eyes and let the water trickle down my cheeks. I'm completely and utterly at peace. That is, until Romeo bangs on the door. 

"What!" My voice comes out harsh.
"Woah! Just gonna say you've been in there a while." His voice is playful.

I stop the shower water and wrap myself up in my towel. "Yes? What's the issue?" I tempt.
"Nothing sorry." He holds his hands up in defense. 
"Thank you." I say sarcastically. 

I close the bathroom door and lock it. I dry my body carefully and tug the clothes on my body. Once I'm dressed and my teeth are brushed, I open the door and Romeo is sat at my vanity and perfecting his hair. I nudge him off and he falls to the floor.

"My turn." I say with a smirk. He rolls his eyes and I shake my head.

I rake a comb through my hair and part my hair down the middle. I decide to let my hair air dry to keep the slight wave. Pulling out the drawer to my makeup, I see Romeo pointing his phone camera towards me in the mirror. I scowled at him and he put the phone down. I sarcastically smiled and continued to dab a dot of concealer under my eyes. 

I finish my makeup and my hair is still slightly damp. I sigh as my hair becomes frizzy. I leave it and turn around to Romeo. I grab a pair of shoes from the rack placed near my door and slip them over my feet. I take one last look at myself in the mirror. 

Romeo grips my waist and brings his face to my cheek. 
"Beautiful as ever." He presses a kiss to my cheek and I give him a grin.

"Let get going?" He says in a fake british accent. I scoff at his attempt, but he challenges me by raising an eyebrow.
"I could do way better." I boast.
"Bet." He challenges further.

"Oh how so... well let's see. I fancy some tea and crumpets!" I say, in my british accent, "Okay... maybe mine isn't great. But still better than yours!" I flip my hair.
"Whatever you say!" Romeo replies, his hands waving in the air.
