In Between The Lines....

chapter thirteen

Juliet POV:

I snatch the paper from him as he snatch the paper from mine, I read the paper line by line making sure there is no loophole in the deal.

" Ready to face the press..." He ask

" Ready to face it" I replied admiring the paper in my hands.

" First you need to look decent.. " he replied his eyes checking me from head to head as I realise I was in Bobo's shorts.

" Give me a second.. I will go up and get change..."

" Make sure you have everything you need you are not coming back here.." he reminded me that I no longer belong here as I turn to bobo who had his face facing the ground.

" Bobo can you give me a hand I need lots of packing to be done."
He quickly followed avoiding any eye contact with me

" Bobo I am sorry.. I have no choice.." I have being repeatedly saying those words but he won't utter a word.

" Brain.. I am talking to you..."

" And I don't want to hear another word from you... " He cut through my words before turning his back on me. And I know he is hiding his tears from me.

" You are such a girlfriend Bobo... I was wrong I should have talk about this before but you see everything happen in a blink... I am still trying to comprehend this happen for real.." I plead as he turn to me with a tearful eyes

" You know I love you more than the girls I have dated.. I hate the fact that I can't even stop you because you are one stubborn ass. "

" And remember your are my bestie till death do us apart...." I finish his words as I engulf him for a tight hug.

"I was worried about you.... You know I am the only one in this entire universe who can stand your attitude.... You have a bad habit of pissing others what if they kill my little sunshine..." I laugh as he slowly join in.

" I will run back to you before they killed me happy.."

" And when did you start caring about money.. I know that you have some other plan in your mind just don't get carried away and give the wrong impression... You are an angel not a b****"

" I can't trust his plan so this is my wild card .. and don't you spend your pay on girls who broke your heart find a girl who loves you for who you are... And dare not get drunk and ask me to pick you up this time I'll get you killed... And the rent is on me.."

" The press will knock your door down if you don't end the romance and hurry up.." Roro interrupt our little conversation.

" I am almost done... " I replied

" But you haven't pack your luggage" Bobo replied pointing to the empty luggage on my bed.

"Chill I am now the wife of a millionaire..." I wave the paper on my hand naughtily winking at him.

" I still can't believe you said yes to it... Make sure to remember me when you hit the ground.." he answer giving me one last hug.

" For God sake is this a breakup.. will you hurry up.." Roro replied hastily breaking our hugs.

" Don't you dare hurt my sunshine.. I'll hunt you down to your grave if you lay a hand on her.." Bobo warn standing up to Roro.

" Alright boys who is ready for the game.."

Juliet POV:

" O my God! O my God... Romeo you are out of your mine... Did I sacrifice  my time and years on you for this day... You married a dam lecture!! You could have everything with Clara... O my, o my.." his mom looks like she is going to have a cardiac arrest looking at the marriage certificate on her hands.

" If you haven't pressure them they won't have to do this behind you Lenor.."

" No this is what happens when a man take care of his children... You stay out of this... And I don't approve this marriage.." she cut through her husband's words and curse under her breathe as we stood like the obedient students who forget about their homework.

" Lenor... I told you about this beforehand but you paid no heed to my advice... Anyway we can't undo what has being done so at least let's welcome her to the family.." Nana added rocking an old chair and not lifting an eye on us.

" Huh of course everyone in this family is always right nobody cares about me when I have being the one building the family..." She answered in a shivering tone Roro and I exchange a look.

" Mom..."

" Don't you call me mom after putting me through this situation... You should have killed me before doing all this... In fact why not kill me now..." She pull out the knife from the fruit baskets threatening to kill herself.

" Go ahead that's the only thing I need from you..... Do you even know how hard it was to grow to up with you under the same roof you were invisible whenever I need you I cried holding to your clothes when others hurts me.. I cried to your photos when I needed to talk to you...You only care about wealth and nothing else and even today you are still that woman so why do you care about what's happening in my life now... Only if you have ask my opinion things would have turn the other way only if you remember you were a mother before being a CEO you won't play with my life like a toy... I am done with what matters to you this time it's what matters to me.. and I will not back down..." he burst out silencing the situation in the room.

" Romeo Frank!! how dare you speak to your mom like that!!..." Nana shouted as I saw the knife slip from Mrs Lenor's hand as she drop to the floor dramatically.

Roro pull my hands moving past his mother.

" So today that woman is more important than the woman who gave birth to you.." Mrs Lenor spoke in a low tone.

" She is my wife... Someone who cares about me..."
