Romeo & Julie ☆ Lariana

[12]

Today was the day when the play was gonna start. Everyone was busy with there own lives.

Mr.Fitz ran around the auditorium like there was a fire. Checking the light, seating charts and everything. "Ariana, I need you to go somewhere quiet to practice your lines. You too Hemmings." He called out while both to the two of us.

"But we still have classes?" Luke mentions. "I told your advisors you'll be busy with the play so you have a free pass to freedom but I want you to spend that freedom at the library to practice your lines."

Luke and I obey his orders and strolled to the library, with the awkward bubble of silence between us.

"So you excited for the play?" I finally spoke. "Yeah, I mean I had loads of fun with you." He nodded.

"I'm starving and we can't process out lines on an empty stomach right?" Luke suggested. "Wow, I'm rubbing off on you. I'd love to." I smiled.

"Then let's go." He grabbed my arm and directed me outside. The road was quiet and dull but the colorful shop displays brightened the whole block up.

We stopped in front of a gelato shop and went in. "Desserts always a good idea too." He shrugs.

I agreed.

"So about our -" I cut him off with a small squeal. "Cookie dough!" I pull Luke over to the counter. "One cookie dough and mint chocolate chip, please." Luke asks pulling out his wallet.

"I can pay for it-"

"No you can't, I offered. My treat." I gave him a small smile. "Oh I asked for two separate cups. Not just one."

"But sir, you just said one cookie dough and mint chocolate chip, therefore you asked for two scoops of one cup. If-"

"That's perfect thanks, just hand me another spoon please." I cut the lady off  and took the cup.

"But Ariana,"

"No buts, we're going. Thank you so much." I bid the lady goodbye and gestured Luke outside.

He looks at me while I take a scoop of the ice cream. "What? Haven't your mom taught you about sharing?" I gave him the other ice cream scoop.

"Nothing, you just look adorable."

"How oft when men are at the point of death
Have they been merry, which their keepers call
A lightning before death! Oh, how may I
Call this a lightning?—O my love, my wife!
Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.
Thou art not conquered. Beauty's ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks." Luke or should I say Romeo leans closer to my tomb where I lay asleep.

"A dateless bargain to engrossing death." He once again kisses me and goes on caressing my hair that's spreads around a bouquets of flowers. His lips were soft and gentle liked was a delicate flower. He takes out the pretend poison and gulps it's down.

I now open my eyes and slapped the poison off. "Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die." I slowly lay him down the tomb and kiss him like it was our first kiss. There was an unbearable silence as we get ready for the scene where I die beside Romeo.
