Unraveling Juliet

Twelve

One more minute and I would go paranoid. Dickhead, I mean Alex came to pick up Julieth at ten in the morning. I had taken the day off today so we could pack for our Disney holiday.  Truth is, I haven't been to disney in about four years and I love that place. Julieth and I are both kid's at heart and so I figured it would be perfect for her birthday. The last time I went to Disney was with Edward (the guy that flirted with Jules at the club). He used to be my close friend, up until a year ago. We'd do everything together, after I ran away from home, I'd spend most of my time at his place and the holidays with his family and whatnot, until he became a gang member. I've never really been in a gang, but I know the people he hangs out with are dangerous. My life has enough danger in it and I can't afford to get dragged into more drama. 

Throughout middle and high school I'd take boxing classes and I was in the cross country and swimming team, outside of school I did boxing. I loved it. I've always been good with sports, that's why when I came from Jersey, I was able to get into a school and get a full scholarship to New York University for Mechanics. I suppose my hard work and dedication truly paid off. Sometimes I wonder how life would be... if Greece was still here. I'd probably be living at home, unhappy with mom and her. Or I'd be in jail for beating the shit out of Parker, the asshole who abused her. I hope he rots in jail, hell, I just hope he's away from my mom. Sometimes I miss mom, but it's that kind of love, where it's better to be without them. Juliet reminds me a lot about myself, she's young but she's not naive, she ran away looking for a great perhaps. She's a talented writer, she's charming, she's all I've ever wanted. She got into New York State and New York University, she's taking online courses of Journalism at NYS. She's a great writer; those who you can tell they absolutely love what they are doing. 

To be quite honest I am worried about Alex. He has money, he's not bad looking, you can tell he's head over heals with Juliet and he has money. Money is power.He can easily ask one of his dad's rich friends to publish her and whatnot, and maybe she'll be infatuated with him, and I can't let that happen. He had his chance and she didin't want him, now she's mine and I'm not planning on ever giving up on her. I hope she doesn't come home brainwashed because I have everything ready for our holiday getaway to Disney. For her birthday, I have the perfect gift. I figured we've been dating for about six months, She's nineteen now, she's mature and she knows what she wants. I want to give her a promise ring. Basically to promise that we'll wait for each other and have a future together, because if I can be honest, I don't see myself having a future without her. 

Since Greece passed away, I've shut myself from the world, emotionally. Every time I make new friends It's hard for me to trust again and when I do everything changes. When I saw Julieth sitting at that Starbucks, I knew I had to get to know her. I remember I sat across from her and she'd just look at me and when I'd make eye contact with her she'd look away and smile, and when I came closer to her and we started talking. I remember our first date eating chocolate crepes and how we'd text all the time. Somehow in between the silly games, the moving together, the making out and the rainy days staying cuddled up at home I fell in love with her and I'm not planning on giving up on her, not without a fight. I never have understood the meaning of this word, I guess you can say until I met Julieth. The way her hazel orbs spark, the way she says my name and how she likes to run her soft fingertips along my arms and chest, and she always compliments my tattoos and says that even though she loves them I don't seem like a bad guy, that I'm one of the nicest people she knows, despite being scared of me. 

Sometimes I think Julieth is the one, but then again, she's only eighteen.  Despite having her wrapped around my finger, having Alex here in town irks me; quite a lot. If Julieth would have wanted him she would have waited for him, and not gotten with me. He needs to get into his sistem that just because he's had everything easy in life doesn't mean that he should try to get what he never had.  On a side note, I cleaned everything, so Julieth doesn't have to do it, and hopefully she can pack and we can go to dinner, so tomorrow we can go to Orlando. I reserved in this resort inside of Disney World, and got five days inside the parks, one day we leave. I'm hoping we'll buy food there and in total (plane tickets, hotel, car,and park tickets) I spent about $1600 so I hope it turns out good. I also hope she likes the ring I got her. You'd probably call me crazy if I told you how much I spent on this ring. Well I have a few thousand dollars saved up, from gambles, work, bets, ect. After work the other day, I passed by Tiffany's and got lured to this 18k golden ring that has incruste diamons and there's only one word I can describe it like; beautiful. It was around 5k and I know Julieth will probably get upset about the price but she'll love the ring. I know she's used to luxuries and it's not like she asks for them but she likes to be treated nicely.
