In Between The Lines....

chapter five

Juliet POV:

" JoJo... JoJo....."

" For God sake bobo I want some sleep... Leave me alone.." I roar out after getting tired of his nagging.

" Well some Greek god  looking for you..."

" Tell him or her I am not home... All I need now is some sleep.."

" He said his name is Romeo..."

Hearing that I jump off my bed like the real superman confuse and irritate for my sleep was cut short.

I was surprised well so to say star stuck to see him in my room looking dashingly handsome in a regular hoodie.

" Well I didn't know that you live with a roommate..." He commented turning his head to a very excited Bobo.

" First what are you doing here in my house and in my room.." I demanded pulling off the blanket only to realise that I am in my shorts that too in bobo' s shorts.

" Well I think we have an emergency.. " he replied diverting his eyes from my shorts.

" Oh the last time I check I haven't agreed to your plan.. "

" And you haven't said no either so the plan is still on... You and I need to fly down to Casra.. family gathering... You know.. "

" What makes you so sure that I will go with you..."

" You don't have a choice..."
" Like you own me.."

" Like your manager had agreed and took half of your payment.."

" JoJo can I talk to you for a second..." Bobo grab me to a corner.

" The rent money was from Raina.. she said it was part of your advance payment.."  bobo whisper to my ear.

" Why didn't you said that earlier.." I replied underneath my heavy breathe.

" Because I thought you know about it.."

"Uhhhh.... Are you done... We are running out of time ..."

Bobo and I exchange a look we both know that I am in a trap. And if this one kills me I'll make sure that Raina goes down with me.

" So where is the meeting again.. " I answer changing my tone aware of the fact that things are not on my side anymore.

"Casra.. a week..."

The nerve of this man..

" Haven't you read my rules.. no physical contact no sharing the same bed no sleepover... Not even a kiss.."

I don't if I overreacted that because I have never in my dating history had  travel for a week with a fake date.

" JoJo I think he knows that.." bobo commented with the weird eye signal of don't mess this up.

" We have many spare room unless you want to share the same room.." Roro added with a perfect smirk.

" You don't worry mister she will be ready.. now can you wait for her in the car she will out in a minute.."
Bobo answered as I shake my head rigourously as Roro excuse himself.

" JoJo you just think about money... All he wants is you to pretend like his girl obviously fake girl and you having being doing that for years.. you got this okay..  and  I still  think he actually like you"

" Stop that assumption.. he doesn't feel a think for me got it.. "

" Alright... But for now you are going with him right.."

" I don't know..."

" You know you've got this.." he forcefully push me to the bathroom.

" I am packing your bag get yourself fresh up quickly.."

" Bobo I am still not sure about doing this..."

" Good for you... I am still packing your bags.."

*******.        ********

Juliet POV:

" So you live with a man.." he questions after what seems like ages  of silence of the car drive.

" My best friend for live more like a brother.." I answer playing with the car tape.

Suddenly my forever number one song way back into love starts playing.

" That's my favourite song of all times.." I commented singing to the tune of the song.

" Remember we dance on this song.." he added and he was right we had a dance which I remember was force by one of our Sunday school teacher.

" And I almost stamp your feets off.. I was a terrible dancer.."

" And I thought you were terrific.."

Suddenly we were having a laugh at our miserable memories, we weren't that close him being the nerd and me being the boss.

" You remember the sandwich..." He added. As my smile takes a turns getting the second hand embrasment remembering that I bully him for those sandwich.

" And you never forget to have one in your bag.." 

" Because I know you were hungry.."
And that seal my lips he was right not that the orphanage didn't feed me but I was in a growth stage having a great appetite and always hungry plus in which orphanage would you get a rich and tasty sandwich he always had.

" Thanks to you I got to know the taste of a real sandwich.. and sorry for being your bully.."

" Nevermind.. you were the first friend who love those sandwiches.."

" Trust me after you stop attending the church I have never had another sandwich.. "

" So you move out of the orphanage..."
He questions with little uneasiness in his voice.

" Three years since I walk out of that home... But thank God I got a roof over my head.."

" Haven't you ever considered about another job... No offend.."

" I seems to be short of educational qualification besides I am pretty comfortable with my job.."

" Like comfortable dating all type of men.. doesn't that scare you.."

" At first it did.. I thought I won't survive a week but than hunger taught me how to be brave and now I have boxes of pepper spray.."

" If you ever need a help know that I'll be there.. and I meant it.."

" I appreciate that.."

I never thought I could see this side of him I do know the kid was kind but I never had the need to  know him further and now getting to know this side of him definitely make me regret the fact I never treat him right not appreciate the kid who stood by me when no one would.
