9. A New Transformation

Gnomeo´s POV

I have to say, these last few weeks I´ve been spending with Juliet were the best of my life. Since she and I were the leads of the play, we have been seeing eachother almost every day. After she gets out of work, she comes to my house and we got over our lives together. But when we have breaks, we just hang out and talk and laugh and the more I got to know her, the more I was falling for her. I really wanted to ask her out on a real date but I was afraid if somebody would see us. I personally don´t care, but I knew she wouldn´t feel the same way if we got caught. Don´t get me wrong, I love seeing her every day, seeing her smile and face was the highlight of my day. But I still wish we could be closer than just friends, well, secret friends since our schools don't know we like eachother

Saturday night, everything was going as planned. I looked myself at the mirror, checking for flaws. I was very a casual shirt and pants; I looked very sharp and good-looking. I don't mean to brag but, I've always need to look my best especially for my dear handyman.

"Wow, you look very handsome, bro" Sofia smirks, leaning against the doorway.

"Thanks, Sof" I pat her head and made my way out.

Luckily, my mum was out with some friends & Benny was taking Sofia for a playmate, like a cousin bonding time or something, so I was free tonight. Obviously, I didn't tell Benny where or what I was doing or things would get ugly between us & our schools. So, I need to be very careful with this, especially around him. I just hope Sofia doesn't crack and tells him but even with that, I trust she won't tell. I made my way down the grand staircase to the door. I grabbed my varsity jacket & my car keys and headed out into the cool breezy night. Since Juliet lived right next to me, I walked over to her house but got my car ready to take her where I have planned for our 1st date. I crossed my fingers on not to get any freighting surprises on my way over.

(Night-time, Redbrick Mansion)

Gnomeo knocks on the door and waits, hoping Tybalt or Lord Redbrick don't open the door. But luckily, Juliet opens the door, finding her in her PJs. Even in her sleep wear, she looked so adorable as always.

"Oh, hey, Jules" he greets, a little nervous.

"Gnomeo, what are you doing here?" she asks

"I came to pick you up for our date" he said with a smile.

"Our date. But it's too early since we said 7pm" she says, shutting the door behind him, letting him in her mansion-like house.

"I just couldn't wait"

"You shouldn't have come here. My Dad or Tyablt could have been here"

"Maybe I should wait out here"

"Relax, my Dad is at a meeting and Tybalt is out with his friends"

"Good cause it would be awkward if anybody who protects you knew about this, they would kill me, literally"

"Listen, Gnomeo, I..." she starts but get cuts once when the doorbell rings.

But I guess my luck changed in less than 5 seconds. Because somebody was at the door and I got nervous. My first thoughts were Tybalt or Lord R came back for something. But once Juliet opened the door, I sigh in relief but at the same time felt a bit nervous by whom it was.

"Gabriel?" she asks, surprised he was here.

"Hey, Little Red. How you doing?" Gabriel came in with a bouquet of roses in his hands.

"Gaby, Come on in" she says, letting him enter the house

"I'm sorry, am I interrupting something here?" he asks, glaring at me

"Uh... no, you're not interrupting anything"

"How you doing?" Gabriel asked Gnomeo in an uncaring tone.

"Good, thanks" Gnomeo said with the same tone. Things were getting awkward at this rate, so Juliet decided to break the awkward silence.

"Uh... And who are those flowers for, Gaby?" she asks, clearing her throat.

"Who else, my Red Rose? For the most beautiful flower of the all" Gabriel says, happily which made Gnomeo gag in disgust.

"Wow, Gaby. Thanks, you're too kind since we see eachother every day..." she then gets cut off.

"Don't question it and accept them"

"Ok, and they smell really nice. I'll go put them in water" Juliet goes to the kitchen, leaving the men alone in the living room. Things just got even more awkward. She really hope things don't get ugly between them.

"They were plastic" Gnomeo says, breaking the silence

"How would you know? Pfft, plastic!" Gabriel scoffs

"So, nice weather we're having, huh?" Gnomeo asks, changing the conversation.

"Nice? No, sir, it's going to rain at any time, there's clouds up" Gabriel huffs.

"Well, I think she's going to take a while" Gnomeo says

"Well, let's sit down until she comes back" Gabriel nods, pointing at the couch

"Oh no, you first"

"No, I insist" they continue to slightly argue until they both finally sat down on the couch, waiting for the handyman girl comes back.

From inside the kitchen, Juliet was peeking out thro the small window out to the living room and watch how the guys were getting uncomfortable with eachother and it made her uncomfortable by knowing the reasons why they were here. She needed help out of this problem. She takes out her phone from her pocket and dials her best friends until one of them finally answered.

"Jazmin, Nanette?" she whispers over the phone what was happening right now to her friends.

"What? They're both together at your house?" Jazmin says, shock and Nanette was too.

"Yeah, supposedly, Gnomeo came earlier to take me on our date. And Gabriel came here with a bouquet of flowers but I don't know why he's here" Juliet whispers

Then Jazmin and Nanette started laughing by how funny this situation was "Hehehe, oh, Little Red, it's raining men at your door" Jazmin laughs

"HALLELAH!" Nanette says in the background, pretending like if she was praising the Lord.

Juloet scoffs "This isn't funny, guys! All I know is that Gnomeo and I are doing a play for our schools and Gabriel is like my big brother, nothing more!" she says, peeking over at the guys again

"Give me the phone, Jaz" Nanette asks and Jazmin hands her the phone "Ok, are you going to start with that stubbornness again? Instead of facing the facts, Jules?" she says

Then Jazmin butts in "Yeah! And Gabriel? Brother? As if! You and I both know Gabriel is dying for you! He's even asked you to be his girlfriend I don't know how many times"

"I think it was 10. But I lost count" Nanette butts in

"Anyways, for Gnomeo, I admit he's kinda cute in a Blue sorta way" Jazmin says & Nanette slightly nods

"Stop it, both of you! I need to hang up now. There's both sitting in my living room, waiting to kill eachother" Juliet shouts in a whisper

"Killing eachother for you, Little Red" Jazmin laughs

"That'll be something worth paying to watch" Nanette adds, laughing too

"STOP IT, GUYS! Look, I have to go. I'll let you guys know how this turns out, ok" Juliet hangs up.

Jazmin hangs up too and looks at her phone, confused by her friend's situation.
"You know, I don't really get her. Could it be if she's scared of guys or something? By the way she reacts every time a guy what's to flirt with her" Nanette says

"I don't think it's that, Nanny. After all the times she's suffer by being who she is and bullied by almost everyone in school, I think she lost hope of ever finding anybody who can love her for who she is" Jazmin says & Nanette nods.

Back with the guys, who were still waiting for Juliet to come back out. "How much time does it take a person to put flowers in a vase? She's taking too long" Gnomeo asked, impatiently

"If she got sick? What if she faint by the excitement when I brought her the flowers?" Gabriel asks, worried.

"Oh, please, as if they were real" Gnomeo scoffs

"If they were real"? I rather not answer that" Gabriel sits back down.

Back with Juliet, she fixes her hair and walks out the kitchen and the guys stand up by her presence. Juliet knew why Gnomeo was here but she had no idea what Garbriel's reason was.

"Sorry if I took so long. But I was back there, trying to understand something" she apologizes and the nod. "Ok, I'm just going to be clear when I ask this. What the heck are you 2 doing here in my house?" she asks, crossing her arms. "So, which one is going to answer first?" she asks again, glaring at them.

"Well, you already know why I am here, Jules. I'm not sure what's Gabriel's answer thou" Gnomeo says, innocently.

"I can to take you to dinner" Gabriel buts in, surprising Juliet and Gnomeo

"Well, I wanted to take you to my grandfather's restaurant..." Gnomeo butts in

"I'll take you to YoYo's!" Gabriel cuts in again.

Gnomeo turns to face Gabriel with a glare and scoffs "In Yoyo's, please. That restaurant doesn't even have a chef"

"Like if yours does" Gabriel cuffs

"It does. I'm chef by the way" he says to Juliet.

"I thought you were a jock, Blue boy" Gabriel huffs

"I am but I spend every summer with my grandfather at his restaurant and learned everything there is to know about cooking" Gnomeo says, impressing Juliet a little.

"Ok, let me get this straight. Both of you came here to my house to invite me to dinner? Wow, this is all so unexpected and I appreciate it a lot to both of you. But there's just one problem because I can't go out with the both of you. And it's making me real nervous and it's giving me neck ache" Juliet says, nervously while rubbing the back of her neck.

"I'll give you a massage if you want!" Gabriel buts in.

"A massage, what a freak" Gnomeo steps in and looks back at Juliet "Look, Juliet, you already agree to go out with me and I promise you that you will have a good time at what I have planned for us. And I think a nice evening out will do you some good"

"Well, I really don't know what to say. I didn't think you would take me right away. And I don't know if I can say yes to both of you since you 2 are so nice and good friends to me. But one wants to go to one restaurant and the other to another restaurant at the last minute. And if I go out with one, I don't want to make the other upset about it. Uff, this is difficult" she exhales in defeat.

"You know what, Jules. It's fine, I don't want to pressure you, you can chose whoever you want, even if it is this football chump. But I respect if you already said yes to him. I can wait until you're available again" Gabriel says.

"I highly doubt it" Gnomeo mumbles.

"Well, I'll need to think about it, guys. I'm gonna go think about it in the kitchen for a while" Juliet walks away back to the kitchen.

"Go ahead, clear you mind" Gnomeo cries to her

"The house it's yours" Gabriel cries

"We'll wait for you" they sit back down on the couch, waiting again.

From inside the kitchen again, Juliet was peeking into the living, watching the guys again as she holds the phone to her ears, telling her friends what was happening again.

"What do you guys think? I'm just not used to be pressed in these kinds of situations when it comes to things like dating, especially when 2 guys show up in my house and ask both at the same time. I don't know if I should go" she asks her friends, thru the phone.

"Oh, Little Red. Of course you should go! Don't think about it twice!" Nanette says.

"Ok, listen, Jules. I'm not saying I'm crazy about this but if you already said yes to this Gnomeo guy, should go out with him. And think about it, he's the all star football player, and you're arriving at an elegant restaurant and he's taking you by the hand. If I were you, I'd be already there" Jazmin advises while Nanette nods.

"Really? Should I? Well, I shouldn't waist any more time. But what about Gabriel? I feel bad for not accepting his invitation" Juliet says with a small frown.

"Don't worry about Gabriel, he'll understand. And hey, if things don't work out with the football player, there's still hope for Gaby" Jazmin says

Juliet nods "Ok, I get it. I have to hang up, talk to you guys later. Bye" she hangs up and goes back to the kitchen. Jazmin hangs up too and sighs in disappointment and so was Nanette.

"She's a nervous wreck" Nanette says, with a small frown

"That's it! I'm going over there. And I'm going to help her, she likes it or not" Jazmin stumps away and grabs her backpack with tthe items she needs for her friend.

"Just don't spy on her date" Nanette says as she follows her out.

Jazmin looks back at her, with a confused glare "Have you met Jules? I make no promises to that" she says, doing out the door of Nanette's room.

"Bring me back a chocolate mousse!" Nanette shouts to her

"KK!" Jazmin shouts back, already out in the hall.

(Back with Juliet...)

Juliet walks back to the living room and clears her throat to speak and the guys stood back up on their feet, and waiting for her decision.

"Ok, I have decided" she says.

"You took a while, Little Red" Gabriel says, as both the guys stood up.

"So, what have you decided?" Gnomeo asked

"I have decision to out with you, Gnomeo" she says.

"Yes!" Gnomeo cheers in his mind but Gabriel frowns in disappointment.

"Don't feel back, Gaby. We can always have lunch tomorrow at your restaurant" she says, rubbing his shoulder.

"Yeah, but it won't be the same. But I respect your decision, Little Red. Besides, you know what they say, you can never give up hope just yet" he says wisely, making Gnomeo scoff and roll his eyes.

"Well, thanks. And don't think I'm going out like this. I'm going to change, put on something much more presentable" she says, referring to her PJs.

Suddenly, the front door opened as Jazmin came in to her friend's side "Of course you are. And I'm going to help you, Little Red" she says, obviously hearing most of their conversation.

"Jazmin, what are you doing here?" Juliet asked, confused.

"Sorry I'm late but there was traffic in the highway. Anyways, please excuse us, gentlemen, let's go, Jules" Jazmin pulls Juliet by her arm, up the staircase to her room.

"Wait, hold on, Jaz..." Juliet protest as she was being pulled

"Go ahead; I'll wait for you here, Jules" Gnomeo says up to her until the girls disappear into her room

Up in Juliet's room, Juliet asked Jazmin again of why she was here but Jazmin didn't bother to answer because she was far too busy setting her stuff and everything she needs to make Juliet look presentable for her date.

"I cannot believe you're finally going to take off those horrible clothes" Jazmin squeals.

"And I can't believe you got here in less than 30 seconds" Juliet jokes. " And my clothes are not horrible. With these clothes, I have manage to take care of my family and myself all these years" she smiles, proudly.

Jazmin holds her hands "Yes, Jules and I'm very proud of you. And you're closet is not horrible, it's terrifying" Jazmin laughs, getting a laugh out of Juliet too.

"Ok, I guess you're right. I am a handyman and a tomboy after all"

"Anyways, what are you going to wear?"

"This will be ok" Juliet sets down a long-sleeved yellow shirt and some long jeans on her bed, surprising Jazmin and raising her brow at her.

"Seriously, Jules? A shirt and some jeans? No, you are not wearing those same clothes, Jules" Jazmin says, throwing the clothes away.

"Yeah, why not?" Juliet frowns.

"Not when you have a date who is expecting to see you wearing something more feminine"

"I don't have feminine clothes, Jaz"

"Don't worry, I came prepare" Jazmin takes out of her backpack, a casual but beautiful purple sundress and sets it down on Juliet's bed.

"No, no, no, I am not wearing that" Juliet crosses her arms

"Yes, you are wearing that, Jules"

"Oh, no, no, No I am not! And less if it's yours, Jaz!"

"And why not? What's wrong in wearing a dress?!"

"Because I feel uncomfortable! I feel insecure, it's strange. It's like if the wind was stroking my legs, I feel like I'm half naked or something" Juliet says, rubbing her shoulders, feeling chills.

"And with a shirt and some jeans you're always going to be Redbrick, the "Husband For Rent". Is that what you want?" Jazmin asks, eyeing her

"(Sighs) Fine! I'll try it on" Juliet sigs in defeat.

"Ok, let's get started. I brought everything to turn you into the Cinderella I always knew you were, Little Red. Ok, first things first, we gotta get rid of that girl moustache" Jazmin takes out a can of hot wax, dips a toothpick to take a sip of it and leans it toward Juliet's face.

"No, no, no, no!" Juliet cries, blocking her upper lip with her hands.

"What? What? I haven't even put on the wax on you yet!"

"It's just that I know it's going to hurt me!"

"It'll hurt less that hitting your thumb with a hammer. Ok, now take your hands away and let me work"

"No, no! Then I'll turn red!"

"You can't turn redder than you already are, Jules. Plus, I have a perfect cream for it in case it hurts too much. Now, let's keep going" Jazmin continues her work by finally able to pour hot wax on Juliet's lip and get rid of that girl stache.

The girls spend almost an hour up in the room, getting Juliet ready for her date. Jazmin had a few troubles getting Juliet to wear girly things but she was able to succeed with less complains from Juliet.

"Stop, just stop! That's enough makeup, Jaz!" Juliet cries as Jazmin puts some blush on her cheeks,

"OH, Jules, I know what I'm doing. So, please, stop complaining!" Jazmin says, putting some blush on her cheeks.

"That's why I say it, enough. If not, when I look in the mirror, I'm gonna think I'm somebody else"

"That's the idea. You wake you being Redbrick, the "Husband For Rent", and you'll fall asleep being Juliet Isabel Redbrick"

"I don't even know who is Juliet anymore" Juliet frowns a little

"She is this girl in the mirror" Jazmin hands her mirror and Juliet gasps in disbelief by her new appearance.

"Wow, is that really me?" Juliet asks, not believing that the girl in the mirror was really her. She actually thought she looked pretty, even beautiful which was something she never thought of herself ever.

"Yep, Jules. Now all is left is you to put on the dress" Jazmin picks up the dress and hand sit to her friend.

"Huh, and those 2 are going to laugh at me when they see me" Juliet scoffs with a laugh.

Back downstairs, the guys were starting to get impatient by waiting for Juliet to come down. Gnomeo had his arms cross while tapping his foot, leaning himself against the wall while Gabriel was still there, sitting in the couch. Gnomeo didn't even know why Gabriel was still here since Juliet already agrees to go with him, instead of the taco man.

"Well, she's taking longer than I thought" he says, looking at his wrist watch.

"Hey, if you want to leave then go. I'll take care of Juliet" Gabriel steps in

"That's not what I mean!" Gnomeo glares at him

"Then what are you saying, dummy?"

"All I'm saying is that she's taking a while in changing, that's all"

"I don't know why she has to change if she's perfect the way she is"

"She is perfect but what I don't understand is that why are you still here?"

"If I'm still here is that I want to make sure Juliet leaves safely with a guy she doesn't know well"

"We've known eachother for 8 weeks" Gnomeo says

"HA! I know her for 5 years!" Gabriel shouts, trying to prove a point.

They guys turn their back at eachother, not wanting to speak to the other and still wondering when is their fair maiden going to come down. Suddenly, a pair of peachy legs in high heels slowly came down the stairs, followed by a purple skirt and the girl who was wearing them as she made it down the staircase.

"Excuse me, did I take too long?" her sweet voice said

Both the guys turn around at the same time and gasp in shock and disbelief by the girl they knew and love was completely different and in the best way. Juliet wore the purple sundress with platinum high heels as her long brown hair framed her hair quite nicely and her makeup was well done, it highlight her cheek bones to a nice pink blush and soft eye liner and mascara with soft purple eye shadow that really brought out her green esmerald eyes. She looked like an angel from heaven for the guys, especially to Gnomeo as he felt he was falling in love with her even more.

"Juliet?" Gabriel said, breatheless

"Is that you?" Gnomeo said. It was obvious they were both in shock to speak as they could only do is gaze at her newborn beauty.

"Of course it's me" she says with a huff.

"Of course it's her, dummy!" Gabriel snaps at Gnomeo "I would automatically recognize you from anywhere and in any form" he admires her beauty again.

"Well, I didn't say it like you loon unrecognizable. It's just that you look beautiful..." Gnomeo babbles, trying to find the right words.

"Oh, no, no, no, I knew Jazmin exaggerated my make up on me when I told her not to put me too much" Juliet freaked out as she looks into the mirror.

"NO, NO, NO!" Both guys exclaimed, running toward her. Gnomeo was on her right side while Gabrile was on her right.

"No, you look incredible, on the contrary" Gnomeo says

"You look like a star that just fell out of the sky" Gabriel says, dreamily

"What a gorgeous girl" Gnomeo says, dreamy as well

"Hey, if it was up to me, Little Red. I wouldn't let you go out with this chump and I would directly take you to the church where a priest could marry us immediately. And this Blue chump can be our witness" Gabriel says, making Gnomeo rage in jealousy in the inside.

"Ok, stop it both of us! If you're gonna keep talking gibberish, I will go up to my room, clean up my face and I put my overall back on!" she says, serious.

"NO!" They both exclaim at the same time

"Well, stop it, please because I don't want to feel more uncomfortable than I already am" she says, a bit embarrassed "Can we go now, Gnomeo?" she asks him

"Of course" they both say at the same time again and they both held out their arms for her as gentlemen, making her feel awkward again.

"Mine is stronger" Gabriel says, pointing his arm.

"Ok, thanks both of you. But I never needed the help of any guy to find my way before" she states, proudly.

"Oh, what would I give you be this chump's place right now. But yeah, go have a good time and I'll see you later, my beautiful Red Rose" he gives her a small hug.

"So, let's go, Gnomeo. And Gabriel, I'll see you later, ok?" she pats Gaby's shoulder and walks away

"Wait, hold it right there!" they all turn their heads and see little Willy walking down the steps.

"Where do you think you're going, big sis?" he asks her, making it down the steps

"I'm going out for a while but be back soon, Willy. Just stay here or go across the street to your friend's house" she says, kissing his forehead.

Willy nods and then looks at Gnomeo "Ok, listen you, Bluebird. I want her back by 11pm. Or things will get ugly between you and me" he sends him a deadly glare.

"Willy, what are you doing?" Juliet asks

"What? Dad's not here so somebody has to put the law around here, especially on you" he says, making her roll her eyes.

"Don't worry, little man. I'll bring her back" Gnomeo says.

"Yeah, you better. Have fun, you 2 crazy kids" Willy shouts to them as they made it out the door.

Despite the awkwardness, the guys ignore what Juliet said before and they went crazy for her as they wanted to escort her out the door like if she was a damsel in distress. Just because she looked like one, doesn't mean she stop being her tough handyman self. Both the guys even fought over in opening the door for her and she argues with them to calm their selves down. Willy chuckles by her sister finally going out with a boy, for the first time ever! He just couldn't believe it. Even Jazmin was watching this as she came down stairs and called Nanette on speed dial.

"And she's wearing makeup? And she's wearing a dress?" Nanette asks, shocked.

"I fixed her eyebrows, I rib off her moustache and she even let me put make up on her. After all these long teenage years, out Jules is finally being a woman, Nanette. I am victorious, my friend!" Jazmin shouts over the phone, feeling Nanette grins on the other line.

Gnomeo's POV

I took Juliet to my grandfather's restaurant which was the finest and most elegant restaurant in the city with the finest food and Champaign ever. And having a great time with the most amazing girl I ever met. Since my grandpa owned the restaurant, I could have anything for free & the best wine and Champaign served by the waiters who I knew so well like family. I watch Juliet eat her food, she had such grace and manners. And here I was thinking that she was all tomboy handyman, but once again I was wrong and learned that she is better than I thought. After we eat what was left of our dessert which was a brownie A La Mode. I reached into my jacket and pulled out a special gift for her.

"You know, I found this the other day and it reminded me of you" I reach into my jacket and pulled out the most beautiful flower Juliet has ever seen. It was a rare Cupid's Arrow's Orchid.

"Gnomeo, it's beautiful" she gasps in awe as she takes it.

"Just like you tonight and always" I smile.

"How do you know I love orchids?" she asks with that bright smile of her's.

"Just a lucky guess" I shrug, smiling

"You truly are a prince charming, Gnomeo. Like in the fairytales" she blushes, making me smile.

After our dinner, I have others plans for our date, I took her to the city's ice rink. Since it was Friday, it was pretty full as people skate on the rink or were playing the arcade next door or eating at the food court. I rented skates for me and Juliet and once we set foot on the ice, my jaw drop. I was truly impressed on how well a skater Juliet is. I've never seen such grace and beauty on skates. Is there anything this girl can't do? Soon the DJ started playing a slow song and this gave me a chance to woo my girl and make her love me even more. She light up a smile when she realizes what song was playing.

"Oh, I love this song" she squealed

I stood up and held her hand to her "Wanna dance? I mean, skate with me?" I babble, nervously.

"I'd love to" she smiles

She accepted my hand and I lead for to the center of ice rink, while the other skate around us. I notice that she was looking at me in awe, all silent as I was lost in her gaze. We slowly took the first steps and started dancing slowly across the ice rink; still staring into eachother's eyes, in silent like if she was froze and breathless just by looking at me.

"So Close" by Jon McLaughlin

"You're in my arms, and all the world is calm
The music playing on, for only two...
So close, together
And when I'm with you
So close, to feeling alive..."

I held her close in my arms, not taking my eyes off hers and then she rests her head on my shoulder, as I softly started singing the song in her ear. Her arms were around my neck and I felt her shake, so I just held her close, wrapping my arms around her waist. I felt like we were on that ABC show "Skating With The Stars" or any skating competition cause the way we moved and skated across the ice, I felt like this was a dance routine. I held her close to me and span her around in my arms. Like a pro skater, I lifter her leg up, admiring her beauty and grace as we continue to skate to the music.

...

"As life goes by,
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid my goodbye,
And never knew..
So close, was waiting
Waiting here with you
And
now, forever, I know
All that I wanted,
Was to hold you, so close...
So close, to reaching
That famous happy end, and
Almost, believing,
This one's not pretend, and
Now you're, beside me
And look how far we've come..
So far, we are...so close..."

Juliet's POV

He pulled me closer into his arms, and he spins me around across the dance floor. We smiled at eachother as he picked me up, bride style, nuzzling our faces together and I place my hand on his cheek. He skated around the ice as he twirls me around in circles like if we were professional figure skaters as if the lights were only shinning on us. I love him with all my heart; he was so different from any other guy I have ever met. After spending my entire life hating the Blues, I never imagine I could fall in love with one and one that is amazing and handsome as him. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world because I had the most wonderful man in my life. As the song soon slows down, he puts me back down and I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his arms around my waist again. He places his hand on my cheeks and leans in to kiss me, I was about to kiss him too but something held me back and I stopped.

"Oh how could I face, the faceless days?
If I should lose you now...
We're...so close,
To reaching, that famous happy end, and
Almost, believing, this one's not pretend, and
Let's go on dreaming, for we know we are..."

I pulled away from him when I remember who he is, just like on the first night we met. He opens his eyes and notice that I was preventing myself from kissing him. He also saw the sadness in my eyes, he put his hand on my cheek and I held it in mine.

"What's wrong, love"

"No, please don't call me that"

"I can't because that what you are. My love" he whispers and it made my heart melt and tears come out my eyes. I was so confused right now.

"No, I can't be because I love you and it's too much for me. It's all so fast. I need a breather" I turn away to leave but he pulls me back.

"No, please don't do this. I love you too much, Juliet" he whispers, upset but I was heartbroken right now.

"I... I..." I tried to speak, but something got over me and I panic "I have to go. I´m sorry"

I was still in his arms and he wouldn't let him go. I took his hands off my waist and started walking away from him. But he pulled me back; I look at him in awe as he stroke my cheek, lovingly. He tried one more time to kiss me but I stop him again. I look away from him, avoiding looking him in the eyes

"I'm sorry, Gnomeo" I said with a tear in my eye and I release myself from his embrace again.

"So close...
So close...
And still so far..."

As the same time as the music played its last verse, I let go of his hand and started slowly skating away from him. I stop for a moment and let out a depressed sigh/exhale, I didn´t look back at him. The feeling of leaving him like that was too much for me; it hurt me in the depths of my heart. As I hold my dress up, running, I tried to hold back the tears but they started running down my cheeks, my heart was breaking by the pain. I wrap my arms around me as I continue to walk away from the rink to somewhere he or anybody could find me. I wanted to be alone and think about all this and clear my head and try to do understand my new feelings toward my enemy who was now my one true love. I loved him and I didn't doubt that he loved me back because I'm just a pointless unworthy handyman. Plus we are forbidden to be together by our parents and our schools, maybe this was just too dangerous and risky and I should end this with him. This was best for both of us. But I was unaware that our secret was discover already by the eyes I feared would find out.

OK, I know what u guys must be thinking & yes, I did use some stuff from one of my old stories for this chapter. But I made it into something different since I know that 1st dates are almost always the same thing. Besides, Jules is still having some thoughts about dating her rival, don't u guys think? Plus, who do u guys think discovered them? I'll reveal in future chapters ;)

Anyways, I need to go because I have a college trip this week but when I get back, I'll try to update another chapter. LUV U GUYS WITH ALL MY HEART & I WILL NEVER LET U GUYS DOWN! SEE U IN THE NEXT ONE! XOXOXO ;)

-MICKEY! ;)
