Romeo Is Bleeding

Nova POV
"You hit him?" I asked Romeo shocked that he even put his hands in James.
"Yeah you said he scared you."
"But he's your best friend."
"And you my girl." He said making me blush.
"Who said that?"
He smirked and pulled me in for a kiss. I gladly accepted running my hands threw his hair.
"I said that. You've always been mine."
"Where we going?"
"Just sit back relax and trust me... Do you trust me?"
"No." I answered truthfully.
"I appreciate the honesty. But I promise you will."
It was our first date and I was pretty nervous. I haven't been on a date since freshman year. Romeo played with my fingers before intertwining our hands.
"What you thinking about Queen?"
"Why do you call me that?"
"Because you don't like princess. And you my Queen."
"You barely know me."
"Barely know you? Trust I know you."
"Prove it." I said crossing my arms.
"I know that you use to teach children bible study. I know you in all honors classes and you're really good at math. I know despite who your brother is you don't wanna be associated with that." I looked down and he paused.
He lifted my chin. "I know that you used to fight to prove you're strong. That when you get nervous your ears start to twitch." I looked up at him. "That your eyes scream pain but you continuously brush it off."
"How do you figure that?" I asked.
"Because I know you Queen. You might not have noticed me all this years. But I've seen you. I always see you."
Dear lord where did this boy come from.

We've been driving for about an hour until we pull up at a roller skating place.
"What is this?"
"I rented the place out for the night. You skate?"
I shook my head no. "Good that's means y'all need me." He grabbed my hand helping me out the car.
We walked inside the rank and there were rose petals candles and music.
"What the...."he cut me off with a kiss. He guided his tongue in my mouth and I accepted.
"It's all for you Queen...Ay Doc let me get a size 13 and..." he
"6"
"Small feet" he joked.
"Big feet"
"Big dick but you ain't gotta worry bout that tonight." He said slapping my ass as I walked away.
"Ouch that hurt." I yelped rubbing my booty.
"No one told ya to have a fat ass. Just beautiful." I laughed at him.
He helped me put on my skates and we were off. I almost fell like 20 times. But Romeo caught me every time.
"Tell me bout ya." I said as we skated to the music.
"What ya wanna know?"
"What's with the whole Romeo name?"
He chuckled. "My dad met my mom selling dope outside of the movie theater. They were playing Romeo and Juliet."
"Are they still together?"
"Nah they don't even like each other. He moved back to Cuba when I was 1. I see him every now and then."
I nodded. "What about your parents?"
"Welll. I don't know my dad and currently my mother is M.I.A."
"Mothers are the worst. Mine only notices me when her boyfriends leave."
"Mine notices me...never. Only Marcus."
He nodded. "Let's not talk about family anymore."
"Agreed. What are your plans for the future?"
"This exactly what I'm doing now."
"Selling drugs?"
He shook his head no. "Being with you." I smiled. "The drug thing to. It's a family business."
"I don't like that business." I stated.
He shrugged. "I can't change that."
"When's your birthday?" I asked changing the mood
"June 14. Yours?"
"January 1"
"New Years baby? That's cute."
"I'm not cute."
He spun me around pulling to his chest. "You're fucking sexy." He captured my lips I. His kissing me hard. "You make me wanna runaway with you."
I looked into his eyes. "You make me wanna stay for you."
"I wouldn't ask you to do that."
"You wouldn't need to."
"Come let's eat." He pulled me out the rank and we sat at a table.
"Bacon cheeseburger and curly fries!!!" I yelled with excitement.
"I'm a simple man."
"Thank god. My last boyfriend was so bougie."
"What happened between you two?"
"I gave him my virginity and he left afterwards. Said I wasn't even his only girlfriend."
"What's his name?"
"Why?"
"Cause imma kill him." He said seriously.
"Then no. I don't want you killing for me. What happened to ya girlfriend."
"She wasn't my girlfriend she was my sometimes."
"I don't wanna be a sometimes." I said biting a chocolate covered strawberry. He pulled me into his lap kissing me taking the strawberry out my mouth. Rubbing my ass he leans close to my ear.
"You could never be a sometimes. You are my all the time."
"I better be" I said biting his ear.
"I promise." He rubbed my cheek. "What happened last year with Renee?"
My body grow stiff. "I'm sure you've heard the stories." I aid putting my head down.
"But I wanna know the truth."
"Long story short. She shot me and I tried to kill her."
He nodded his head. "Okay now tell me the long story." I sighed.
"Me and her were close. Like sister close and one day she wanted we went to the liquor store and she tried to rob the place. She shot the owner and told me to get the register. I told her I wasn't with that robbing and killing shit. That I wasn't my brother. So she shot me." I stopped remembering how everything played out. "She probably thought she killed me the way she didn't even turn around. I was in the hospital for a 2 weeks. When I finally got out I came to school and beat her into a coma."
"Damn. I thought y'all was just beefing."
"That's what everyone thinks." I shrugged my shoulders. Romeo kissed my cheeks.
"My baby a little killer."
I froze. "No I'm not. I just a girl that was put in a bad situation."
He nodded his head. "I understand not everyone built for that." He grabbed my face kissing me hard making lose my train on thought. "I'm glad you not built like that. You can be my conscience." He said with a sparkle in his eyes.
