I lifted a hand to his chin and nudged it back up, forcing him to meet my eyes. "I thought you said I had no control over you~"

“You shouldn’t.” I whispered it back. A forbidden secret even the trees weren’t allowed to hear. “But you do.” The faint murmur escaped my lips as I made eye contact with Marina. She had my heart pounding out of control in my chest, my blood coursing through my veins at a mile a minute. My girlfriend.

My lips twisted into a satisfied but flustered smile. “Good… I like it that way.”

“Course you do, Pazza.” I breathed, feeling dazed. “This has to be a dream, right? This is too… too…” I stammered, unable to focus with Marina so close.

I laughed softly and pulled away, leaving him to regain control of his senses. “If you’re like this now, what’re you going to do when I kiss you?”

I sucked in a sharp breath, leaning towards her as she pulled away. “I… I have no idea. Cry? Happy tears?” I joked, still fidgeting with my glasses. “You’re super confusing, you know that?”

“I am?” I tilted my head to one side, watching him amusedly. “How so?”

I shook my head. “You just… are.” I murmured. “You make me feel a lot at once. It’s disorienting.”

"Good confusing?" I asked softly, "Or bad confusing?"

“Good confusing. I er… just get overwhelmed.” I explained, willing myself to slowly calm down.

(should we skip fairly soon?)

A smile tugged at my lips. "Aw, Mercutio, am I too much for you?"

(Probably, any idea as to when?)

“I’ll learn to keep up.” I smirked, albeit bashfully. “I still haven’t figured out how I’ll keep my eyes off you in school.”

(r/j?)

Blushing slightly, I ran a hand through my hair. "You'll cope."

(👍)

“You’ve hardly eaten anything.” I changed the subject abruptly as she blushed, feeling heat spread to my own cheeks. “I brought you donuts and everything.” I teased.

“It takes me a while to get started,” she laughed, and reached for a donut.

“Apparently.” I held back a laugh, snatching up another donut, myself.

Paris’s POV

I sat on my bed, deep in thought. I had strict orders from my father. Tonight I was supposed to take Juliet out somewhere, but where? I know so little about her. She liked the garden, so maybe a public garden? Would that make any sense? I sighed and stared at the clock— time is running out.

Juliet’s POV

I stared at my reflection in the mirror, struggling to mask my fear and apprehension with a falsified smile. I had a date with Paris tonight…. a date with the man who I was supposed to wed, the man who was four years older than me.
