Jerome and Joy walked into Jeromes' room
Joy gasped at what she saw. Instead of seeing the typical teenage-boy-room, it looked almost like an arcade with a dozen video games all laid out.
"You like?" Jerome asked after seeing her reaction.
"Wow" was all Joy could say.
He snickered at seeing her so speechless
"So" he said "wanna eat?"
"Sure"
They sat down but Joy barely touched her food.
"What's wrong?" Jerome asked.
"Nothing" Joy said, avoiding eye contact.
"Oh come on. I know you better then that"
"Don't look at me."
"Why?"
"It will make me feel better."
"Again I ask: Why?"
"Because you won't see my face."
Now was the perfect time to carry out the plan, and Jerome saw his chance.
"But I want to see your pretty face."
"Then let me put my makeup on and you will."
"No, I mean right now. The pretty face your trying to hide."
"But-"
"No. Joy i need you to understand something. You should be confident being YOU. Intelligent, fun, gorgeous, YOU.
Jerome could tell Joy didn't know what to say.
"Eye liner, blush, and lipstick can never compare to how gorgeous you are without it." Jerome added.
Joy was smiling now.
Jerome, noticing this, kissed her, widening her smile.
