"I don't." She mumbled dryly, looking away.

"Sienna!" I exclaimed, trying to control my irritation.

"Romeo, leave me alone! Go to your girlfriend." She said bitterly and pushed me back.

"What?! What girlfriend?" I asked, confused.

"Don't pretend! I know you are back with Samantha." She stated confidently, folding her arms over her chest.

"What?! I am not! What made you think that?" I frowned.

"Don't lie! You went to her house that night. I hope I didn't disturb your plans with her." She stated bitterly, shooting daggers at me.

"Oh... That..." I mumbled and sighed, running my hand through my hair. "We aren't back, Sienna. That evening... I went to her house because I was angry at you; I heard from Charlotte that you went on a date with that bastard." I exclaimed. I breathed deeply and continued. "After our kiss in the school, I thought you felt something towards me too, but when I heard... about the date, it shattered my heart into pieces. I was angry at you, and when she sent me a message, inviting me to her house, I accepted. But we didn't do anything. I swear! I left her house as soon as I received Nathan's message about you."

She bit her lower lip, thinking, and ruffled her hair without saying anything.

I sighed and approached her. "It is just you, no one else." I cupped her cheek. "I told you about my feelings. But you didn't say anything. Please tell me something." I said, giving her a begging look. "It is unbearable. I need to know. Tell me you feel this connection too. Stop avoiding me. Don't you know Romeo can't live without his Juliet for so long?" I added softly and stroked her cheek gently, giving her a smile.

"Romeo..." She mumbled.

I took a step towards her and cupped her both cheeks. "Yes, Juliet?" I rubbed my nose against her nose. "Tell me. I need to know. I can't hide my feelings or stay away from you anymore. I gave up. I am crazy for you." I stated honestly and leaned my forehead against her forehead, stroking her cheeks.

I pulled my head back slightly and looked at my beautiful girl's eyes. She bit her lower lip, her cheeks pink. I leaned towards her and brushed my lips against her lips, wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her closer to me while cupping her cheek.

A few minutes later, she responded to my kiss, wrapping her arms around my neck. I tightened my grip around her waist and deepened our kiss.

I pulled back, smiling. "I love you, Sienna. I love you so much. As much as I tried to suppress my feelings, I couldn't forget you." I said honestly, stroking her cheek affectionately.

"Oh, Romeo..." She mumbled shyly.

"Do you have feelings towards me? Tell me, Juliet." I murmured seductively and placed kisses on her cheeks, nose and forehead.

"Yes." She responded shyly and bit her lower lip nervously.

I grinned happily and cupped her cheeks. I kissed her feverishly. After a few minutes, I pulled back and wrapped my arms around her waist, swirling her around joyfully. I felt ecstatic.

Finally! Finally!

She loves me too. My Sienna loves me.

She laughed happily, gripping my shoulders. "Romeo! Stop!"

"I love you, Juliet! I love you so much." I shouted happily.

"Romeo! Be quiet! Someone will hear." She said, panicked and covered my mouth with her hand.

I put her down carefully and grinned ear-to-ear.

"I don't want my boyfriend to get killed by my brothers as soon as we get together. You know I waited for a boyfriend for a long time." She commented mischievously. "A real boyfriend without cruel plans." She added, winking at me.

I chuckled. "Oh, my girl. You can't get rid of me that easily. Even if Troy kills me, my soul will always haunt you. Especially at nights." I said seductively and winked at her.

She burst out laughing and said, tapping on my shoulder. "You are crazy."

"Crazy for you, Juliet. Crazy for you." I winked at her playfully.

She laughed heartily and kissed my lips. "My crazy boy."

"Yours." I agreed and smashed my lips against her soft lips, wrapping my arms around her waist, pulling her closer to me.

I stretched out, yawning, and opened my eyes. I smiled happily as I remembered about yesterday. I was on cloud nine. It was like a dream. I had already missed Romeo. My handsome boyfriend. I looked forward to seeing him. I loved him so much. I didn't know when it started, but I was in love with my favorite jerk.

Suddenly, my phone buzzed, interrupting my thoughts. I grabbed it, excited. My smile widened as I saw a message from Romeo.

'Good morning. What is my girlfriend doing?'

'She misses her boyfriend.'

'He misses her too. And he has a surprise for his Juliet.'

'Now the waiting is going to be more unbearable.'

'I love you, my girl.'

'I love you too.'

I placed my phone on the bedside table and got up, excited. After getting ready, I went downstairs.

Once I arrived at the school, I went towards my classroom. I decided to wait for Romeo in front of it.

I beamed in happiness as I saw Romeo walking towards me, a boyish smile on his pretty face.

"My Juliet." He said as she wrapped her arms around me and brushed his lips against mine.

"Romeo!" I exclaimed and pulled back quickly. I checked around nervously; fortunately, there wasn't anyone because classes were about to start. "Someone will see us." I explained; we decided to keep our relationship a secret for a while.

He sighed. "Why do you want to hide our relationship? I want to kiss, hug my girlfriend whenever I want." He scowled, upset.

"I told you, Troy and Liam will not give us peace if they find out. I want to enjoy us before they make a fuss." I said softly.

"Fine." He heaved a deep sigh.

"Come on! Don't be upset." I gave him a warm smile.

He gave me a charming smile. "Never mind! I will wait to kiss you. You always make me wait. I got used to it." He winked at me playfully. "But I know what I will do." He added mischievously.

"What?" I asked curiously.

"Surprise!" He winked at me and walked into the classroom without waiting for me.

I pursed my lips together, trying to hold my smile as Romeo kept on brushing his hand to mine while staring at me.

"Stop looking at me. The teacher will notice." I whispered, leaning closer to him.

"How? My girl is so beautiful. I can't take my eyes off you." He whispered softly.

I smiled shyly. "You will get us into trouble." I mumbled in a low voice.

"I am already in trouble." He whispered mischievously and winked at me. I grinned and shook my head in amusement.

***

I was with Charlotte in the hallway when Romeo called me with a head gesture.

"Lottie, I have to go. I forgot the teacher told me to see her." I lied.

"Fine. See you later."

After Charlotte disappeared from my sight, I walked towards Romeo.

"What happened?" I asked, worried as soon as I approached him. He looked strange.

"You are coming with me now." He stated firmly.

"But we have a class." I reminded.

"I know, but we are skipping it." He winked at me. "I have a surprise for you."

"But..." I bit my lower lip, thinking.

"Come on! I want to spend some time with my girlfriend. She doesn't let me close when we are here." He said playfully.

I grinned. "Fine. Let's go."

Romeo held my hand as soon as we got in his car and placed our entwined hands on his lap. I gave him a bright smile.

He parked his car near the beach. Then Romeo got out of the car and rushed to my side. He opened the door and extended his hand towards me. I smiled warmly and held his hand, getting out of the car.

"Picnic at the beach." He winked at me as we approached the picnic basket on a tartan blanket. "And here, no one will see us." He added and winked at me as he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer to him. I smiled, resting my hands on his chest. "Let our first date begin." He stated cheerfully.

I giggled and nodded. "Let's see what my lover boy has in store for me." I said amusingly.

A wide grin appeared on his face as he tightened his grip around me and brushed his lips against mine.
