Tales of Romeo and Juliet

DO NOT COPY THIS PLOT OR YOU SHALL BE REPORTED, I SPENT A TOTAL OF TWO MINUTES THINKING UP THE CHARACTERS AND I DO NOT WANT MY WORK STOLEN. JUST KIDDING I SPENT FIVE MINUTES BUT DO NOT COPY THIS PLOT FOR I AM TRYING TO BE SOMEWHAT ORIGINAL. I WILL FEED YOU TO MY PET DRAGON IF I GET ANY NOTIFICATIONS OF ANYTHING GENERICALLY SIMILAR TO MY STORY. :)

ALSO, DO NOT ADVERTISE YOUR STORY ON ANY OF MY COMMENTS, NOT ONLY IS IT EXTREMELY RUDE BUT ALSO VERY DESPERATE.

NOW WITHOUT FURTHER ADIEU, HERE IS THE FIRST CHAPTER.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        I kicked my shoes off, exhaling in content as my hands rubbed their ground-bound counterparts.

My companions of the night were jumping around to the upbeat music as if they were the hosts of a rave in full swing.

I blew my bangs out of my face in annoyance, which Angelina had curled to fade into the rest of my raven hair. Though my friend had fashioned them with expert hands, the hair had managed to escape the neat chignon located on the nape of my neck and had become a nuisance earlier on in the night.

My arms, now arranged on the table, served as cradles for my temple as I dropped my head into the interlocking frame.

My position persisted for a short amount of time before a glossy black dress shoe entered my line of vision, the other half of the pair following closely behind.

Sighing, I lifted my neck and stretched it out.

I met his eyes before lifting an eyebrow in question.

He extended a hand in my direction, " May I have this dance?"

I scowled, "No."

"Wrong answer."

He hauled me out of the chair by my arms, dragging me to the dance floor.

I thrashed and kicked but his firm grip didn't falter.

A malicious grin danced at my lips and I let my body to go limp. His step noticeably slackened and biceps tensed underneath the fitted dress shirt but he showed no sign of discouragement.

 Eventually, I gave in and allowed him to tote me to the dance floor. Not missing the curious and amused faces of the couples that we passed.

When we (finally) reached the center of the venue, He propped me up against him and attempted to arrange our limbs together.

As soon as he let go however, I darted away.

I didn't get far until his forearms encircled my waist.

To others, It may have looked like a sweet hug from the back. But in reality, It was a prison made of flesh and bone. 

"One dance...no more than that..please." He whispered.

I froze, he never said please...even as kids he always just demanded.

He took my silence as an answer and slowly swiveled me around. 

We swayed to the music, with him guiding.

My eyes darted around the room, but I could find his eyes searching for mine.

My gaze landed on the space inbetween our feet.

Feet.

Shoes.

Table.

My head snapped up when I realized I had forgotten my shoes at the table that I had previously been residing at.

I tried to smile apologetically, though it probably came out as a demented expression.

Never the mind, I will not let this lifeline from God go to waste.

"I left my shoes at the table, It's embarassing."

But before I could pull away, He slipped out of his own.

"Then we can be embarrassed together."

Using his feet, he nudged them farther away and dipped my torso.

"But I don't think it's possible to be humiliated around you."

He pressed his lips against my cheek and lifted me up.

"Until next time, Etta."

He bowed, gathered his shoes and left me standing there with my jaw brushing the floor.

Maybe it wasn't a lifeline from God, but one from Cupid.

Stupid Cupid.

Stupid heart.

Stupid Blue.

Do you like this new story?

I'm sorry that it's so short but I promise that the next chapters will be longer when I update.

I just need to make sure that there are actually readers and I'm not just reading it myself.

comment, vote, and share (and possibly follow)

*update 12/31/14*

I re-read the story because I took a break from technology and realized that this is a pretty crappy story tbh, so I scrapped everything and decided to re-write the story line and re develop the characters. Which means the whole story is changed. Hope past readers don't mind and new readers can totally disregard this note because there are no traces of the old book :)

Tell me what you think of the (what I think to be) improvements.

With much love,

Viviansmarty
