CHAPTER 34&35

By, Naomi Cindy B.

★★★★
★CRAZY FEELINGS★

Fireworks sparked in Rex’s head as blood ran down his face, he went down unconscious.

“Babe!” Rhonda shouted, crawling to him.

The owner of the restaurant started contacting the cops while Romeo made his way out of the shop.

He rushed back to the hospital but couldn’t find Juliet.

Her bag is still there, meaning she didn’t come back.

Mona came in with Thiago.

“Son” Thiago smiled, happy to see that he’s ok.

“Is something wrong?” Mona asked, noticing his uneasiness.

“Did you see Juliet?” He asked.

“No, why?” She replied and he left the ward without replying.

“Romeo!, You can’t walk around yet, Romeo!”

He didn’t reply, he was walking out when he sighted cops coming in, definitely from the restaurant.

He took off his suit and walked past them, he dialled Ben’s line.

“Boss” Ben picked.

“Juliet’s resume, check it right now and send me the number of her next of kin” he said quickly.

“Why?”

“Just do it already!” He yelled and can feel pains in his tummy.

“Ok boss” Ben replied and hung up.

A minute later, he sent a number and Romeo called the number.

“Hello, am i speaking to Juliet Hayes relative?” he asked impatiently.

“Her mum on the line” Gina replied.

“Oh cool, you’re on to her boss, is she home already?” He asked

“Mr Romeo Spencer?, No, I’ve been expecting her but she’s not back yet and she’s not picking her phone either, I’m getting scared, Joel is out there and the abductor who took her the other time, nothing must happen to my baby” she replied fearfully.

“She’ll get home safely please calm down” he replied and hung up

He walked out of the hospital and met Michelin outside, she’s just coming out of her car.

“Where are you going Romeo?” She asked but he didn’t spare her a glance before rushing away.

He started going into corners and hidden places in the street, searching for any sign of her but he couldn’t find her.

“Juliet!” He shouted as he searched.

His stomach pain increa-sed every minute as he searched.

For almost an hour, he’s still searching till he stopped at a sp-ot, breathing heavily.

“Where are you” he said and started hearing sounds from behind him.

He looked back and surprisingly, he saw Juliet sitting un-der a tree, crying loudly.

He walked briskly to her and she didn’t bother to stop crying when she saw him.

“And why are you crying?” He said, making her look up slowly.

“Because of those darned things?, Are you a fool?” He said, still breathing heavily.

“How did you…” She replied in a shocked voice.

“I saw it all, you should have made them regret saying those things to you instead of running out in tears!” He shouted.

“Do I look like superwoman?, He told me I’m ugly!, He said my ugliness is scary!, He was saying the truth so tell me how I was supposed to have the strength to talk back!, It hurts” she replied, standing up.

“You’re beautiful!” He shouted and her eyes wide-ned.

Romeo turned his back on her, bi-ting his li-p slightly before facing her again.

“Do you have such low self esteem?, Why are you feeling inferior?, Why are you judging yourself by what others say, you don’t believe in yourself?, You don’t?” He said and she sniffed.

“Are you here to pour your anger on me again?, Go ahead, go on and do it, I’m used to it so just…

She was already in his arms before she could say another thing, Romeo hu-gged her ti-ghtly.

“Stop talking, just rest” he said and she started calming.

“Sorry for yelling at you, I was just so angry because of what happened” he said and she closed her red eyes, hu-gging him back.

Michelin instantly felt like killing Juliet.

She’s actually watching from her car at the other end, she trailed Romeo here.

“That thief!” She said, getting her gun.

She targeted Juliet’s forehead and was about to pull the trigger when her phone rang, it’s Krystal.

She dropped the gun and picked.

“Mummy” Krystal said.

“Yes princess, how’re you doing?”

“I miss you so much mummy, you said you’d come with dad on your next visit, when are you coming?, I can’t wait to meet my dad” she said.

Michelin looked at Romeo and Juliet again, they’re still hu-gging.

She held the steering ti-ght.

“Soon princess, I promise to come with your dad very soon”

“You always say that, I can’t wait anymore, my mates in school are always showing off what their dads got for them, I always have nothing to show, please make it fast mummy, I want to meet my dad too” Krystal said.

“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting princess, but bear with me, I have to go now, I love you!, Bye!”

She quickly hung up and Spy called.

“Any news?” She asked.

“Someone will take care of her on Monday, I sent the girl from the company”

“Rhonda?, Oh she hates her, nice move, and I really wanna hear about her death on Monday” she replied.

“Sure my lady”

She hung up and looked at them again.

“You can’t fall for another lady, you’re my man Romeo, and any girl who goes close to you will have a taste of my wrath” she said and smiled darkly before driving away.

Romeo finally broke the long hu-g and faced Juliet, she has stopped crying already but tears is still on her face.

“Tears are what make you look ugly” he said and started wiping her tears with his fingers.

If there’s one thing Juliet noticed, it’s the way he looks at her, it’s different from the former looks.

“Why are you suddenly acting nice?” She asked as he wiped.

“Humanity, you told me to behave like a human” he replied.

“So…I’m like your specimen” she said.

“Maybe” he replied and she smiled.

“Great, you’re smiling” he said and she suddenly hu-gged him again.

“What?”

“I just feel so grateful, I was planning to cry my eyes out before” she replied.

“Should I start calling you dumb fool?” He said and she broke the hu-g.

“No!” She said quickly.

“If anyone calls you ugly” he said.

“Yes?”

“Tell them your boss will crack their heads open” he continued and she giggled.

“Got that” she replied.

“Cool” he said and he noticed she’s stylishly ru-b-bing her ba-re arms, she’s apparently cold.

He covered her with the suit he’s holding and he looked at him, their eyes met and stayed on each other for longer than it has never done.

His hands are still on her shoulders though.

Juliet broke the contact first, then he took his hands off her shoulders.

“Thanks for the jacket” she said.

“Let’s go” he replied, leading the way back to the hospital.

“Your mum has been worried” he said.

“Of course..” she said she stopped to face him.

“How did you…did she come to the hospital?”

“No, her number was on your resume as your next of kin so I called her” he replied.

“Then I should be fast” she replied and added to her pace, walking fast.

Romeo smiled and followed behind till they got back to the hospital.

Thiago was still sitting in his ward, Mona is gone.

“Chairman Thiago” Juliet greeted respectfully.

“A worker at his company?” He asked.

“Yes, his intern” she replied and Thiago smiled.

She took her bag and made to leave but Romeo held her back.

“Do you nee-d anything?” She asked.

He took her out of the ward and hu-gged her shortly.

“This?” She smiled.

“Yeah, you can go” he replied and she waved as she walked out of the hallway.

“Can I call you later?” He asked.

She nodded before going out of the hallway completely.

He went back in and sat on the bed.

“Are you both close?” Thiago asked.

“I don’t know” Romeo replied, laying on the bed gently.

“I should have come earlier to check on you but, Justus didn’t allow me to leave the house, he kept saying I’m not strong enough, it was Mona who helped me out” Thiago said.

“How’s your health faring?” Romeo asked, shocking him.

“My health?… My health is… Romeo” he said, too overwhelmed to talk.

“You should go home and rest, I want to rest too” Romeo said.

“I should?, Of course I will… I’ll go home” Thiago smiled and Mona came in.

“My son told me to go home and rest, I nee-d to rest well don’t you think?, Take me home” he said.

“Really?, You want him to rest?” Mona said surprisingly too.

Romeo never acts concerned about his health.

“He nee-ds it” Romeo replied .

“Ok, as you wish” Mona took him out and Romeo closed his eyes.

B4 SKY LOUNGE

Merritt is not available too so only Naomi and Baby are present.

Naomi is drunk already because she drank a lot, saying gibberish about the court session she had today.

She lost another case and that’s obviously making her go crazy.

This is the fifth case she’ll be losing in a row.

“I just wanna write, I wanna write please!!, Let me write!!, I hate law!!, I hate being an attorney!!” She cried out loudly.

“Stop drinking” Baby took the bottle from her.

“I hate you!!!, I hate everyone!!, I hate my life….” She said and her head went down on the table, she slept off.

“I wish I can kill chief Barrington, I just wish” Baby said, standing up.

He helped her up but she fell back on the couch, he fell on her and she smiled sleepily, moving her li-ps.

“I hate you” she muttered and slept off again.

He carried her in his arms and sighed.

“She’s so heavy” he said, walking out of the lounge.

HAYES APARTMENT

After eating dinner with Gina, Juliet and Merritt retired to their room and Merritt fell on the bed, sighting a suit.

“Whose suit is this?” She asked, taking it.

“My boss’s” Juliet replied, taking it from her.

“Something smells fishy, this is the second suit he’ll be giving you, it’s rare to see guys giving their suits to ladies these cold days” Merritt said suspiciously.

“You overthink a lot, just sleep” Juliet replied and pushed her back to the bed.

She hanged the suit beside the first one and smiled, smelling his strong cologne from it.

Her phone rang and she quickly rushed to pick, it’s “Gras-shopper” calling.

“Boss” she picked quickly.

“Hey, are you asleep already?, Did I disturb your sleep?” He asked.

“At all, I’m far from falling asleep” she replied and yawned.

“You seem sleepy, let’s just end the call” he said.

“No no….I’m not feeling sleepy” she said and yawned again.

“It’s obvious that you’re feeling sleepy, I’ll see you tommorow, you’ll come to the hospital, right?” He asked.

“Of course” she replied.

“Ok, bye”

“Goodnight boss” she replied and hung up.

She looked at what she saved his name with again and smiled before facing Merritt, she met her behind.

“You scared me!” She held her che-st.

“Why were you smiling when you were speaking to him?, You should have seen your face” Merritt said, sitting on the table.

“I didn’t smile” Juliet denied.

“You can’t lie to me, I’m a born detective” Merritt said.

Gina screamed from the living room and they both looked at each other before running out only to meet her in front of the TV.

The news on TV is that Joel just committed another murder in this same street, he murdered an old man this time around.

Juliet fell on the couch.

NEXT MORNING

“Will you be following mummy Gina to work?” Merritt asked as she dressed up with Juliet.

“Yes, then later in the day I’ll go see my boss” she replied, carrying her bag.

“You forgot your wristwatch!” Merritt said and quickly fixed it on Juliet’s wrist.

“The way you always remind me to put on my wristwatch these days is suspicious” Juliet laughed.

“I also bought one for mummy Gina” Merritt replied as they left the room together.

Gina was already waiting in the living room.

“Mummy Gina, I got you a nice wristwatch” Merritt said, trying to fix it but Gina declined.

“I hate wristwatches, it doesn’t go with my fashion” she said.

“But I really bought this with a lot of money, I’m hurt” Merritt said, squeezing her face.

“Ok fine, wear it for me” Gina gave her hand and Merritt smiled as she fixed it.

“How do I look my baby?” Gina asked Juliet, turning around.

“My lady Gaga is always Se-xy ” Juliet replied.

“I love you baby!” She hu-gged Juliet.

“I love you darling” she hu-gged Merritt too.

AREA POLICE STATION

Swan came down from the car in front of it and sighed.

She rested on the car bonnet tiredly.

To catch Joel wasn’t as ha-rd as this seven years ago but now it’s getting ha-rd everyday.

The old man he killed last night was living alone, he killed him in his house.

She’s just coming from the morgue where his body was left at.

She stood from the car trunk and was about to enter the station when her phone rang.

It’s Kyle.

“Yes?”

“We found a footage at Jewell books, I think it might lead us” he said.

“Really?” She replied, getting into the car.

She drove to Jewell books and she was led to the power room where she met Kyle and four other officers.

She was shown the footage of a masked man who entered the company an hour before the abduction two days ago.

He’s wearing a mask and cap.

“He’s the only suspicious looking person who came in that day, and Mr Romeo Spencer confirmed that he swiftly saw the abductor, he said he was wearing a mask just like him” Kyle said.

“Zoom in to his right hand” Swan said and an officer did.

He has six fingers on that hand instead of five.

“Bingo!, That’s the deal, but the wristwatch he’s wearing is another lead, it’s a new product of Louis Vuitton which came out that same day, the fact that he was wearing it in the footage means he got it that same day, and only three malls sold it out that day, Harley mall, Gregory mall and Kishore, we should take the footages of the three malls” Kyle said and Swan faced him.

“Let’s go” she said and Kyle smiled, following her.

BULLET NEWS STATION

Merritt wanted to hold herself back so she won’t go out and bump into Reid but it was impossible became she kept craving to see him.

After writing the second article she was as-signed to write, she stood.

“Done already?” Kent asked.

“Yes boss” she replied.

“No typos?, Did you proofread well?” He asked.

“I did” she replied.

“Really?” He asked.

“Of course” she replied.

Sure?” He asked

She walked out without replying.

“Her nasty temper, I don’t know if she’s the boss or me” Kyle whispered.

Merritt left the station and stayed in front of it, watching everyone pas-sing by, expecting to see him suddenly but she didn’t.

“What was I expecting?, I told him plainly to stay away from me” she said sadly, missing him more than she was expecting.

She looked at the Starbucks and sighed.

“Should I take iced Americano?” She said, suddenly craving for it.

She crossed the road and payed for a cu-p of iced Americano.

She took it and looked around again but no sign of him.

She lost interest in the coffee and didn’t bother to sip as she walked back to the station.

She was crossing the road when a car sped madly to her, only God knows where it came from.

She stood in shock with bulged eyes and just as the car was about to hit her, someone hu-gged her and she fell with the person.

They both rolled out of the road and the car sped off.

Merritt’s che-st was still pounding in shock as she released herself from the person just to take a glance at who.

Her eyes wide-ned when she saw the person she has been missing.

“Oliver” she said and he stood.

He helped her up too but she kept staring at him.

“Are you ok?” He asked.

“je-rk” she replied, hitting his che-st softly.

“je-rky guy” she said, hitting his che-st again, he held her hand.

“Are you still mad at me?” he said.

Merritt stepped in and hu-gged him ti-ghtly, getting him shocked.

“I just hate you for making me miss you so much”
