Romeo and Juliet
After dinner they all ended up in the living room just watching a movie. Betty was sitting next to Daniel on the couch. Justin was sitting on the floor. And Ignacio was sitting in his chair. Hilda sat next to Betty and Daniel on the couch. After some time Betty fell asleep her head resting on Daniel's shoulder.
Ignacio noticed. "She must be really tired today." Ignacio said caringly.
Hilda just smiled at how Betty was so comfortable next to Daniel. "I'll go get a blanket."
She pulled the blanket over Betty. They all went to bed not too long after.
Daniel was on the couch next to her, eventually falling asleep hugging her tightly to him.
After a few hours Betty woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw her sweet best friend Daniel hugging her tightly underneath the cover. She kissed his cheek and smiled. A smile swept his face subconsciously.
Betty didn't feel like going back to sleep. She was looking around looking for something to distract the time. She saw Justin's Romeo and Juliet book on the floor.
Hmm…I guess I could just read this. I'm bored anyway. She thought to herself
She picked up the book. Then for a moment or two she just admired Daniel sleeping. He looks so sweet and peaceful she thought. She went and sat on the stairs so she wouldn't make any noise.
After a about half an hour, Daniel woke up noticing Betty was not there. He sat up. Then he noticed she was sitting by the stairs.
"Hey!" Daniel said as he approached her.
"Hey! Ya, I'm just reading the play. I was bored."
"I never really liked Romeo and Juliet." Daniel said as he took the script out of her hand and glanced over it.
"Really?" Betty responded slightly surprised. "Why not?" she asked curiously
He paused for a moment flipping through it. "I never understood and liked that they died at the end."
"I guess I can understand that." Betty said as she took the script back in her hands, now standing at the edge of the stairs.
"So?" she said "What do you want to do?" "Seeing as we are awake now?"
"Hmm, ya." He responded. "I don't know. I don't feel like watching anything. What do you want to do?" he asked glancing over at Betty.
After a minute or two she said "Wanna act out parts of the play?" "It could be fun" she added.
"Hmm. I guess. Sure, why not?" he grabbed the play from her hand and randomly flipped through choosing a scene without actually reading and handed it over to her.
She looked at it surprisingly and said. "Uh, you choose the balcony scene? Really?"
"Wow" he said shocked that he flippantly choose that scene.
"It's ok. Whatever." She said
Betty stood at the stairs. He stood at the bottom to the side.
They started off just saying their parts, having fun with the words.
Then Betty started to feel her heart race as he was saying his lines
Daniel jumped on the stair rail as he said his next lines.
"I take thee at thy word.
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo"
Betty looked at him surprised and intrigued at his action. Did he just jump on the stairs? she thought to herself as she felt heat envelope her body.
Standing there as he inched closer, she, staring into his gorgeous blue eyes, started to feel her heart beat like a college drum line. She didn't really register the words. She stared for a moment. Not even knowing what lines she was saying. It was time for her lines. She thought to herself. I can't even breathe.
She just said anything so she didn't just stand there staring at him
"Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow
That I shall say good night till it be morrow."
She said, knowing she skipped so many lines, as her heart began to beat so fast she thought it would stop, Daniel looking at her lips as she was saying her line (her amazing beautiful lips he thought) and getting closer, their lips so close, it made their hearts stop.
Daniel started to inch closer saying the last line
"Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast!
Would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest!"
Betty felt like she would faint if she moved, as he was so close she could feel the heat from his body.
Then suddenly they heard a door shut and Hilda yell "Justin. Get ready for school"
They got so shocked at the sudden sound they jumped back.
Hilda came down, seeing that Betty looked flustered. "Hey guys. What have you been up to?" looking at Betty suspiciously.
"Uh, nothing. We were just chatting." Betty said, sure that Hilda would see right through her. "mmhmm" she said as she walked down the stairs eyeing Daniel curiously.
"So, are you two going to be joining us for breakfast or are you just going to stand there all day?"
"We're coming" Betty quickly insisted as she went down the stairs grabbing Daniel's arm. Hilda just smiled and shook her head.
