No Reason But Us

Chapter 34 : You Are My Juliet

It had been two days since they confessed their feeling towards each other and the first week of Oddey and Gage's slow yet sure relationship.

It was lunchtime, Gage was with his friends while Oddey was with Rita as they sat one separate table. The two would exchanged looks and smiles whenever they happened to catch a glance at one another.

"Someone is very happy today," Felix teased.

"No, I think you are," the Romeo teased back, then the two laughed it off. However, the only girl in the gang weirdly gazed at them.

"What are you guys talking about?" Courtney asked. Of course, she was the last one to know what was going on.

"Oh, you haven't told her yet?" Felix asked.

"Nope, not yet," Gage said.

"Tell me what?" Courtney questioned them.

The two boys exchanged glances and then looked at her. "Well, here's the thing..." the architect students stammered.

"We both have girlfriends," the roommate revealed deliberately.

"Wow, subtle."

The poor girl nearly choked on her juice, "I'm sorry," she coughed. "What was that last part?"

"WE BOTH HAVE GIRLFRIENDS," Felix answered intentionally louder to spite the frustrated actress.

"Dude." Gage punched his buddy's arm side.

"Oh," Courtney gulped while Felix stared at her, studying her reaction to all that, then turned to Gage. "You two are dating those two."

"Should I say it any louder?" Felix said in a sarcastic tone.

"Enough." The architect student nudged his roommate once more and then turned to his female friend. "Yes, I'm with Oddey, and Felix is with Rita."

"You... and... Oddey," the actress choked.

"Yes."

"So you like her?"

"Yeah, I do," Gage answered.

"So you two are a thing now?"

"Yes, we are."

"Yeah, it also means double date minus you," Felix interjected in a mocking tone.

"Jesus, dude." Gage hit him again.

"Ahem... I get it, I'm happy for you," she choked, then continued eating to hide her disappointment. Felix put his head down to hide his smug face.

Meanwhile, the two girls were sitting at the farthest part of the cafeteria eating their breakfast together. "Now that Gage is your boyfriend, doesn't it bother you that your boyfriend is playing Romeo in the play with you 'her'?" Rita asked.

"A little, but it's just one play that'll soon be over in less than two months," Oddey answered. "So yes, it doesn't entirely bother me."

"Good point. So are you two going on a date someday?"

"Hmm... I don't know. I hope so."

"Me too, I'm sure that it's going to be romantic."

"Oh, it will."Oddey grinned.

Later it was rehearsal time for the play, the young lovers were so preoccupied with their respective jobs that they did not get the chance to talk, Gage had to practice with his fellow cast members while Oddey had to start working on the other part of the sets.

Although Madame Vestia noticed how Gage was getting better with his acting skills because there was so much they had finished in a week.

'Was it because of a little lucky charm called Oddey?' Madame Vestia thought in her mind. She could see one of her best art students was watching Gage and, at the same time, accomplishing a lot of work on the set.
