Lucila Gray
I was reading a play for school and it was making me miserable. I didn't understand a word they were saying but I tried to. My dad tried teaching me but I couldn't go through anymore misery.
I huffed as I'm on the second page and have to read an entire act.It Why Shakespeare? He's dead anyway and this language is so old.
I hear loud steps coming towards me but I try to focus I figure it's just my father ready to come back and try again. A hand falls to my shoulder and I look up it's my favorite man.
"Hi lukey!" I squeal placing down my book I stand up out of my seat leaning in to kiss him but he places his hand on my shoulders and pushes me gently.
"I'm supposed to help you study Lucila" he states seating me back in the seat I roll my eyes and groan. So I can't even get a motivation kiss? Or something else? I scoot over to let him join and he turns over the book "Shakespeare? Romeo and Juliet" he laughs.
I raise my brows and that's when he explains "it seems like yesteday I read Shakespeare trust me you won't need this ever " he states and I whine. Then why do I need to learn it now?
"You're still on page one?" He questions and I nod "oh baby girl we've got awhile to go then" he grabs my book and starts flipping through the pages. "I just have to read and understand act one" i state to him and he nods.
"Let's watch the film before we read the book it'll make you understand it more" he takes my hand. Shuffling through our cds he picks it out and places it in the DVD Player.
"Come on darling let's get comfortable"
- "So basically there's a feud between the monagues and capulets and Romeo is in love with someone who doesn't love him back? And Juliet has someone who loves her but she doesn't love him?" I questions and he nods with a smile.
"That's basically it's darling for now we still have a few more acts before we get to the two falling in love" he says and that's when I ask him a questions I've been dying to know.
"Have you ever been in love?" I ask and he nods "yes a while ago I haven't felt something close to the way I felt towards her until you though" he says holding my chin and I smile.
"What happened to her?" I ask and he kisses my forehead "that's for another time let's get you to bed it's late" he states
