★(DRUNK KNIGHTS)★
LATER THAT DAY≈ ENGLAND
Romeo came out of the car after pulling up in the driveway of the house.
Juliet came out of the other side, she’s she’s still limping a bit but she insisted that they should come today since they’ll be flying back to Mexico tomorrow.
Romeo quickly went to her and supported her with an hand as they walked to the house together.
The door opened even before they could get there, Krystal came to view.
“Romeo and Juliet!” She shouted ecstatically.
Romeo looked at Juliet and they smiled and each other before proceeding.
Immediately they got to the door, Krystal jumped on them, taking turns to hu-g them both.
“I love your hair shampoo, it smells nice” Juliet said as she hu-gged her.
“It’s a new product from the Br@nd i use” Krystal smiled, her dimples showing off.
“Gosh!, You’re so cute!” Juliet carried her and limped in with Romeo.
Immediately they got in, Romeo took her.
“You’re so handsome” she said and Romeo smiled before ki-ssing her hair.
“Do it again” she said and Romeo ki-ssed her hair again.
“I love you” she said.
“I love you” he replied and she hu-gged him ti-ghtly.
Romeo has never been close to kids, he has never had the chance to get close to one, this is the first time and he’s feeling a totally weird connection with her.
He loves her a lot already.
Edgar rushed downstairs.
“I’m so sorry JUMEO, I was arranging some stuffs upstairs” she said.
“It’s ok, we’re having fun with this cutie already” Juliet smiled.
“She had always been a lovely and lively child” Edgar smiled, sitting with them.
“I’m sad that you still limp Juliet” Krystal said.
“Hey don’t be sad, I’m as strong as a rock so trust me ok?” Juliet said and she smiled.
“Did you try signing with any company yet?” Romeo asked Edgar.
“No”
“Why?’
“I’m just scared, what if my books gets rejected, I won’t be able to handle rejection” she replied.
“If you can’t handle rejection then it’ll be ha-rd to reach the top, my books got rejected for almost twenty times when I started writing” Romeo replied and Edgar gasped.
“Yes, it was heartbreaking but see me now, I’m on my own” he said.
“I’ll have to buckle my shoes” she smiled.
“Of course, and if you nee-d help, don’t hesitate to call me” Romeo said.
“Of course, but what about the five rogues?” Edgar asked.
“No news about them, they’re just thu-gs who got hired by that bastard” Romeo replied and she sighed
“Why are they on your tail though?”
“No idea” Juliet replied and Krystal stood
“Romeo I wrote a lot of books already, and poems,you nee-d to check them out” she said.
“I forgot to ask how old you are” Romeo said.
“I’m 7 years old” she smiled and rushed upstairs to bring her diary.
“I made something delicious, please let’s eat” Edgar said, gesturing at the dinning table.
Juliet stood and followed her but Romeo waited for Krystal.
She later came running with the diary.
“Check it out, my poems and stories” she said, giving it to Romeo.
“Carry me on your lap-s” she said and he did that immediately.
She gave him a peck and Romeo returned it.
She smiled, revealing her white, cute set of teeth.
Romeo opened the diary and came across a poem first, titled What & Why.
He read it and kept nodding till he opened another page, she wrote another poem about Friendship.
Then a story titled “Paints and Brushes”
He started reading and she kept staring at him, waiting for what he has to say.
He suddenly looked up and she blinked , trying to decipher the expression on his face.
He stood at a time and threw her up, catching her afterwards.
“Damm!, You wrote all these?” He said with a shocked expression.
“Yes” she replied and he threw her up happily again.
“Where did you get the Br@in from, Fu-ck” he poured ki-ssed on her face and Krystal kept chuckling.
“They seem to have fallen in love with each other” Edgar said from the dinning where she’s eating with Juliet.
“I know right?, I wish to have daughters as cute as her in the future” Juliet smiled.
Romeo and Krystal joined them shortly and Krystal didn’t bother to come down from his arms.
She sat on his lap-s and he fed her as he ate.
Juliet won’t stop admiring their closeness, loving him more for how free he is with her.
She imagined a colourful future with him, playing round the living room with their kids and being a lovable father to them.
“Thanks for coming seriously” Edgar said after the meal.
“It’s our plea-sure” Juliet replied.
“I wish to be the flower angel on your wedding day” Krystal said and Romeo smiled.
“Do you want that?”
“Yes, I want to be there on the day you both will get married” she replied.
“Done” Romeo said and she smiled widely.
“You’ll really invite us when it’s time?” Edgar asked curiously.
“My first invitation is coming here” Romeo replied.
“Yes!” Edgar and Krystal stuck hands.
“Please stay with each other, don’t break up Juliet, Romeo don’t dare break up, ok?” Krystal said like an adult.
“She’s so cool” Juliet smiled.
“There’ll be no reason to break up cutie” Romeo replied.
They stayed till past 8 at night and when it was time to return to the hotel, Krystal started crying.
She clinged more ti-ghtly unto Romeo, not ready to let him go.
“What if I promise to call you everyday once I land in Mexico?” He said.
“That won’t be enough, I want to see you soon again” she replied.
“I promise to come and visit you soon, I’ll come back to England soon because of you” Romeo said and she brightened up.
“Really?”
“Yes angel, so stop crying ok?” Romeo started wiping her tears.
“But you still nee-d to call everyday pending the time you’ll be back” she said.
“I un-derstand, I promise” Romeo smiled, ki-ssing her hair before handing her to Edgar.
He entered the car with Juliet and they both waved at her for long before leaving.
“I miss him already, I feel like I’ve known him for long” Krystal said, burying her face in Edgar’s che-st.
She started crying again.
“Stop crying, you’ll meet him again trust him” she pacified, stro-king her hair as she went back in with her.

TWO DAYS LATER≈ MEXICO
Merritt started coming out of the house just this morning, the first place she visited was the news station.
Kent and Lula stood immediately she showed up.
“Merritt!” They both chorused.
She smiled lightly and dropped an envelope on the table
“What’s this?” Kent picked it.
He opened it and his eyes wide-ned.
“Resignation letter?”
Lula went closer and when she saw it, her eyes wide-ned too.
“Merritt…
“I’m gonna chase my real dream again, being a reporter was just a detour, I’m a born detective” she smiled and hu-gged Kent.
“You’re the kindest supervisor one could ever get, I’ll miss you” she smiled, breaking the hu-g .
She hu-gged Lula.
“You’re the best co-worker I’ve ever come across, I’ll miss you too Lula” she said.
“Merritt…
“I’ll miss you all!!!” She shouted to everyone’s hearing as she left the station.
She entered the car and sighed, Reid smiled beside her.
“I’ll stay beside you throu-ghout, let’s achieve your dreams together” he said and she faced him.
She hu-gged him ti-ghtly and he gave her pats as they hu-gged.
She suddenly broke the hu-g and Reid wondered why.
She came out of the car and he did the same.
“What?” He asked as she stared at a particular direction.
He looked that way and saw Michelin, she’s coming out of the sto-re across the road with a guy.
“Michelin Anderson?” He said.
“The problem is the guy beside her” Merritt replied.
“Why?” Reid said and immediately Michelin entered her car with the guy, Merritt entered the car too.
Reid entered the car with her and Merritt ordered Peter to start following Michelin’s car carefully, he obeyed immediately.
The guy is the same guy she saved Juliet from the other time, the kidnapper!
“Why are we following the car?” Reid asked.
“Just watch me sweetheart” Merritt replied and Reid sighed as she kept following the car.
The car stopped in front of an hotel and the guy came out.
He entered the hotel and Michelin drove away.
“What’s Michelin’s connection with this punk?” She wondered loudly, looking at the hotel.
“What are you talking about?” Reid asked.
‘i nee-d to visit this hotel tommorow, I’ll meet the punk again, and I might really kill him this time’ she thought.
Reid tapped her and she faced him
“You zoned out” he said.
“Sorry, just thinking about this and that, we’re spending the night at mummy Gina’s place tonight” she replied.
“Really?, I can’t wait” Reid smiled happily.
Merritt gave him a peck and he smiled again.
“Peter drive” Reid said.
“Yes boss!” He shouted and drove away.

BARRINGTON LAW FIRM
“You’re resigning?” The chief said shockingly when Naomi dropped her letter in front of him.
“Yes chief, I’ve spent enough time here, actually I’ve wasted enough time here, I’m not competent anyways, I’m not destined to be an attorney, it’s time to chase my real dream” she replied politely .
“How could you think of resigning at this point how could you!” Chief Barrington ranted, coming in.
Naomi faced him.
“Sociopath, you again?” She said.
He took the resignation letter and to-re it to bits.
“You can’t resign!” he said loudly
“Bounce…old man” Naomi smiled and started walking out.
“Naomi!!, Naomi come back here!, Naomi!!!” He shouted after her and suddenly held his che-st.
“Argh!!” He Gr0-ned, falling down.
“Chief Barrington!” The second chief quickly rushed to him but he had already pas-sed out.
Naomi never bothered to look back.
She got to the front of the firm and inhaled.
“Writing is calling me” she smiled and her phone rang.
“Hey baby!” She picked happily.
“Where are you?” Baby asked.
“I just finished submitting the letter, I’m on my way to the hospital” she replied, entering the car.
“You didn’t forget the sleepover at madam Gina’s place tonight right?” He asked.
“How will I?” She smiled.
“Come fast, let’s eat breakfast together” he said.
“Ok baby”

JEWELL BOOKS**
“Boss!!!!!!” The staffs screamed immediately Romeo came out of his car with Juliet.
He smiled and used his black shades before ki-ssing Juliet right in front of everyone.
?Aww!
“I’m blus-hing on your behalf Juliet!” Agnes shouted.
“How has everyone been faring?” Romeo asked.
“Just fine” Lovelyn replied.
“Boss I missed you most!” Ben said funnily.
Romeo smiled.
“I missed you most Juliet!” Lovelyn and Agnes said simultaneously.
“Where’s Sugar?” Romeo asked.
“Sugar is here!” His manly voice shouted and everyone paved way for him as he came out of the company.
“Duchess of Mexico?” Juliet gasped.
“What happened to miss Sugar?” Romeo removed his shades.
“Miss Sugar is dead, and now I’m the king of Mexico” he replied and smiled handsomely.
Agnes stared admiringly with a cute smile on her face.
“It feels so good to see you this way” Juliet said and wide-ned her arms for an hu-g.
Sugar started walking to her and Romeo folded his arms, shooting laser beams with his eyes.
‘I hope you fall’ he said in his mind and as if he’s got magic, sugar’s shoes hit on each other and he fell in front of Juliet.
“Argh!” He shouted.
“Welcome back to the male world Mr Sugar” Romeo smiled and held Juliet’s hand.
They went in together and Agnes rushed to Sugar.
“Are you ok?” She helped him up.
“My che-st” he held it.
“Does it hurt a lot?, Huh?” Agnes asked again, touching his che-st.
“Wait Agnes…are you in love with me?” He suddenly asked and her eyes wide-ned.
“What!”
“Tell me now” he replied naughtily, leaning closer.
“Get lost!” She slapped him lightly and he fell on the car trunk.
“My precious face!”
Agnes walked briskly into the company, holding her che-st.
“That chimpanzee”

7PM, THE HAYES APARTMENT
Romeo’s car stopped in front of the house and he came out with Juliet.
“Did you say Reid and Baby are also here?” He asked.
“Yes, it’s a test night, that’s why mum invited everyone over” Juliet replied.
“Oh, so no chance to cripple tonight again, I was thinking of Fu-cking you till you land on a wheelchair again tonight” he replied and her eyes wide-ned.
“Must you be so nau-ghty in front of my house?, Get lost!” She pushed him and he laughed as she entered the house.
“Wait for me!” He ran after her and truly, Reid and Baby are in already.
They’re sitting in front of Gina who has the look of a killer on her face.
A table is between them, and on the table, there are ten bottles of beer.
Naomi and Merritt are sitting on the couch far from them.
“You came late” Gina said.
“I’m sorry mother-in-law” Romeo replied.
“Sit down” she replied and he sat with Baby and Reid.
Juliet sat to Naomi and Merritt.
“What’s mummy Gina planning?” Naomi asked in a whisper.
“Watch and see” Merritt and Juliet chorused.
“Who among you is not tolerant to much alcohol?” Gina asked the guys.
They looked at each other then at Gina.
“None of us” they chorused and she smiled.
“Let’s get started, think of this as my way of saying hi” she said and opened all the beers.
She poured a cu-p for the three of them and they drank it at once.
She drank her cu-p too.
She did it again and they drank again.
“di-ckson’s drunk side is mad” Naomi muttered.
“I don’t know how much Reid can take” Merritt replied.
“Romeo is not tolerant” Juliet said as they kept drinking with Gina.
⏩⏩⏩ TWENTY MINUTES LATER
“I want to pee” Baby said drunkenly, smiling like a baby.
“That’s the restroom” Romeo replied, rolling his eyes as he pointed at Gina.
“It’s a post office, not a restroom!” Reid laughed.
“I knew it’ll come to this” Juliet muttered
“Look at them acting like puppies” Naomi giggled.
“Reid is so cute!” Merritt chuckled.
“I wanna pee!!!” Baby shouted again.
“Stop shouting I hate noises!” Romeo shouted back.
Reid laughed as if he just listened to a joke.
Baby staggered as he stood.
“I have the best voice in Japan, I guess you haven’t been attending my concerts, I’m Micheal Jackson’s junior sister!” He said , unbolting his belt.
“I wanted to watch drama, now I got it in abundance” Gina smiled.
Baby took off his trousers and shirt, leaving him in just his shorts.
He grabbed a bottle of beer and used it as the microphone, then he placed his right leg on the table.
“ki-ss me!, ki-ss me!, ki-ss me baby!, hu-g me! hu-g me!, Let’s cud-dle crazily!”
He sang out of line, dancing crazily, twisting and whining like a girl.
Romeo lic-ked his li-ps, standing up, his eyes are still rolling in their sockets.
“You look so Se-xy !!!!” He shouted, laughing as he walked to Baby.
Reid was already crying loudly as he slept on the ba-re ground.
“I miss my pregnant wife!!!, She’s all alone in Toronto!!!, Starlight I miss you!!!!” He cried for real, rolling around in the ground.
Juliet is the only one making videos.
Merritt and Naomi were already laughing ha-rd, sitting on the floor.
“Let’s cuddle!, Baby let’s cuddle!” Baby kept singing and twisting wildly till Romeo got to him.
“You’re Fu-cking Se-xy !” He said and Baby smiled like a girl.
Romeo grabbed his as-s and be gasped girlishly, resting his arms on Romeo’s che-st.
“Don’t touch me that way, I have a jealous boyfriend” he said, ru-b-bing Romeo’s che-st.
“Even your voice turns me on, I love your as-s, so soft and tender” Romeo smiled, pressing it.
“Ouch!, Stop touching!, I’m w£t!” Baby M0-ned.
“I miss my pregnant wife!!!” Reid cried again.
“You’re so irresistible, ki-ss me baby and let’s take care of your w£tness” Romeo said, lic-king his li-ps.
“Gosh!, I love you!” Baby said and started coming for Romeo’s li-ps.
“No!!!!!!!!!” Juliet and Naomi shouted.
