Till Death

Julia's pov

I woke up the next day not only sore from the night before but nervous.
What could he want to talk about?

I was still sitting on the bed thinking of what the subject might be. When I heard a noise downstairs I put on his blouse that was laying on the ground and went downstairs.

I walked slowly following the sound to the kitchen only to find a tall muscular figure standing next to the oven half-naked.

He probably sensed my gaze as he turned to look at me with a warm smile.

"Good morning amore." He said walking towards me.
"Good morning." I replied.

He then turned his gaze to my barefoot so he grabbed me by my hips and placed me on one of the tall chairs next to the table.

Everything was silent as he continued to cook. After placing a plate of pancakes in front of me I decided to ask him. Curiosity was slowly killing me.

"So... what did you wanna talk about?" I finally had the courage to ask.
"Well..." he let out a sigh. "You need to promise me that you won't hate me."

Oh God!
"I promise."

"Well... I didn't marry you just because of the contract." He stated.
"At first and I repeat AT FIRST my intentions weren't... the best. I wanted to marry you just to get rid of your family."
My eyes widened.

"But! After I saw you, more specifically a picture of you on your sixteenth birthday I changed my mind. I wanted you I didn't know why but I wanted you so much that it was sickening. And after you got kidnapped I realized that... I can't live without you Julia! I want you in my life! I NEED YOU!!"

I don't know what to say. I'm shocked!
"Speak to me Julia."
"I... I don't know what to say. What if... what if you are lying?!"
"I'm not I promise. If you ask me anything I'd do it, fuck I would burn the whole fucking world for you Julia!"

Once again I was speechless.
But I guess now is the time to confess too.
I let out a small sigh before starting.
Deep breath in. Deep breath out.

"I have something to say too." I said my eyes not meeting his, only looking at the plate in front of me.

Deep breath in. Deep breath out.

"I... I was sent here to know all the weakness of the Montegue and then get rid of you in three months time."
"What?!" He asked anger slowly filling his voice. But I can see that he's trying to contain it.

"But all of that changed too." I quickly replied. "After the way you treated me since I became your wife until now. The way you make me smile and the way you make my heart beats. And when I was... locked up, the only person I thought about all that time was you. And I realized..." I looked at him.

"I realized that I love you Romeo. I love you so much. And I completely understand if you want to get revenge or-"

He cut me mid-sentence as he ran towards me and gave me the most heart felt kiss I ever received.

"I love you too Julia." I spoke after he broke the kiss.

"But you do realize we're going against our families wishes." He spoke again.

I contemplated for a minute before I replied.

"I don't care if I'm going against my family. My father can hate me, abandon me, kill me I don't care. Because I love you. Even if the whole world left me I don't give a shit as long as I'm with you Romeo."

He looked at me and gave me another long kiss. But I broke the kiss with my laugh.

"What's wrong?" He asked. Probably thinking I'm crazy or something.
"Don't you find it weird?! Out of all the people we fell in love with each other. The one and only daughter of the Capulet and the one and only son of the Montegue fell in love with each other. Our parents are sworn enemies!" I laughed again.

He looked at me with a smile on his face.

"I would gladly go to war for you sweetheart, if I need to get on my knees and beg I would gladly do it without any hesitation. Because I love you."

My cheeks turned red at his statement.
"I wish we could change the story so our parents wouldn't be enemies." I spoke my mind.

"Yes we can't change their story and they'll probably stay at war till the end of time. But today my love! Today our story will begin! Yours and mine."

"What should we do now?" I asked after embracing him in my petite arms.

"We confess!"
"WHAT!!" I looked at him.
"They're going to know either way my love."

"I know but... my parents won't let me. I know them, they'll do anything to stop me from being happy and free."

"I'm willing to pay the debt of my love for you Julia. Even if they kill me I would still love you till Death!"
"I would even follow you Romeo till death!"

"We'll tell them tonight at dinner. You tell your parents and I'll tell my mother." He said and I nodded.

"I love you Romeo."
"I love you Julia till death."
"Till death." I confirmed.
