Romona and Juliet | WLW GXG

Part IV

Since Romona gave me her number for
our project, we may as well start on it today. Zariah is "busy" but I know she's probably somewhere getting high or doing something dumb.

Which means me and Romona will have to work on this project together and knowing Zariah we'll probably have to do this a lot. Still love her though.

We decided to work on the project at her house because she said there will be no distractions since her roommate won't be home.

I pulled up to a gate and called Romona to ask for the code to it.

She lived in the apartments for college students because her roommate attended the state college down the street. She told me that he studies art history and studio arts.

I was greeted by Romona wearing gray joggers and an over sided shirt. She somehow looked much different from how she looks at school.

"Welcome to my humble abode" she said with one arm behind her back and the other motioning towards the living room.

It's much nicer than you'd expect from 2 students living together.

There was an L shaped sofa in the middle of the living room and a  55'' smart tv was mounted to the wall.

The apartment smelled like lavender and cookies.

"I put cookies in the oven for us to enjoy while we work on the project" Romona said with a smile

"Wow, we love that good ole southern hospitality" I joked

We went into her room where there was a full sized bed with a black and gray comforter set and black curtains.

If I didn't know any better i'd think she was a vampire.

I walked over to the bean bag chair in her room and made myself comfortable. Then I watched as she got 2 note books and pens for us to map out our project.

"soooo... any tips on how I can have an easier time getting the Romeo part?" she says handing me the pen and paper.

"What makes you want to be Romeo anyway?" I ask.

"I've just always been really into Shakespeare. Unpopular opinion but I actually think they were making the right choices, up until the death part of course." she chuckled

I looked at her with a confused expression. i honestly wanted to hear more about her opinion on the story.

"Can you elaborate?" I asked as I propped myself up in the beanbag chair to show her she has my full attention

I could see her face light up like a kid at a candy store.

"well, I personally strongly believe in love at first sight. Everyone has a soulmate so honestly if you see someone and they make you feel a way you've never felt before in just one meeting, then maybe that's the universe trying to tell you something." she said

"Also, them being married could've ended an entire war between the families and even tho it was the nurse's idea, it was still a good idea. They would've gotten away with it if there wasn't any miscommunication. AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON OTHELLO." she yelled

I couldn't help but giggle at how passionate she seemed about this topic. I could literally see the excitement all over her face.

"Well since you're so passionate about the topic I expect you to get the part with ease" I say with a serious look on my face. "I won't be the one casting people because i'll actually be auditioning for Juliet"

Romonas eyes almost popped out of her head. I'm guessing she thought my only job would be directing the play.

"but I thought you were the coordinator." she says with her head tilted to the side.

"Yes, but that doesn't mean I can't have a roll in the play" I said with a slight chuckle.

"but-"

She was interrupted by the sound of the oven dinging, indicating that the cookies were done.

"What can I say?" I say as I flip my hair "i'm guess i'm just multi-talented and beautiful"

"What does being beautiful have to do with the play?" she asked

"nothing, I just wanted to add that in there" I replied

"well i'm already aware of one of those things so now it's time to see how you balance being the coordinator and having a role" she says

"you'd be be surprised at how many task i can handle at once" i say while smirking

"oh-" she smirked back at me "well show me what you got m'lady"

I organized our work space while Romona went to get the cookies out of the oven.

I actually kind of hope she's the one who gets the part. I think we'd work well together.
