Chapter 3: Rumour has it.

Juliet pov: as I was walking along side my love, I was thinking about our future, like if we got married or if we had our own children. My thoughts were disturbed when I heard gnomeo speak,

"You okay love?" He looked worried about me.

"ye I'm fine just thinking"

"About what?"

I didn't want to tell otherwise he might think we would be rushing into something big so I had to think of something fast.

"Uhhuhh... you know stuff and how much I love you" I grinned and he gave me a sweet tender kiss.

"I love you too," I think it's wonderful to someone like him, he was so brave,kind,funny and not to mention adorable.

"Well I have to get some chores done you gonna be okay?" I t think it's sweet of him to worry about me so much, it just shows his soft spot."

"Of course I'll be fine you don't have to worry all the time," I said to him and he walked over to help some gnomes or get his own chores done, while ok was alone with my thoughts I didn't notice someone come up behind me,

"Hi Juliet" it was Benny,at least I wasn't alone anymore,

"Hi Benny how are you today?"

"Not too bad,listen can I talk to you about something?"

I wouldn't have thought Benny come to me about something, I mean yes we were friends and he was my boyfriends cousin but we barely spoke, every time I tried to talk he would always go really shy but now he was being quite confident.

"Ummm sure what's wrong?" I asked him softly and waiting for his answer .

Benny pov:

I was about to tell Juliet my feelings but somehow I couldn't, it was like something was telling me this is a bad idea and I should just make something up to hide the truth of what I feel for this girl.

"Uhhh..." I couldn't think of anything thing at this moment , I had to think fast,

"Could you tell me of what you think we should plant by the fence, I'm stuck between roses or lillies, what do you think?

"Oh well in that case go with the lillies the match the shade colour of the fence" she said with her sweet tender voice.

"Of course! Wow you always know what's right," I said and I can see her slightly blushing.

"Well now that we've got that aside, would you like to go for a walk with me?" She asked, I didn't know what to say, I mean this could be my chance to tell her how I feel about her.

" I would love to" I said and we headed of for a stroll, as we were walking I kept wondering what gnomeo say about me walking with his girlfriend, speaking of gnomeo,where is he?

Gnomeo pov:

I was just minding my own business and getting my chores done so I can get back to Juliet when I saw a group of blue girls giggling at me, at first I just thought it was because they fancied me, I don't like to brag but I see myself as a hot guy, Juliet picked the right gnome, unfortunately for these girls I was taken.

"Hey gnomeo" they shouted and I thought I may as well go talk to them.

"Hello ladies, what r u laughing about?" I asked with suspicion.

"Oh nothing, nothing at all" said the leader of the group, Kylie, she was about My age and I know she's a good friend but I don't really speak to her.

"No there is something come on" I demanded

"Well we have just received a bit of news that's all"

"What kind of news?"

"Oh something like someone fancies your girlfriend"

What?! Someone fancies my girl?! No chance, I mean yes a lot of boys would like her but she was taken and I need to do something.

"What?!Who?! When I get my hands on who fancies my women they will be sorry!"

"Even if it was Benny?"Kylie shouted out to me.

I froze in my place, Benny? In love? With Juliet? No way, it can't be true! He wouldn't do that I know him too well for that to b true.

"Benny?" I shouted to her "no way that can't be true!"

"Belive or not it's true honey" she said in her sassy voice.

I just rolled my eyes and walked off, as I was walking by I realised gnomes were giving me the same facial expressions as I was walking, some would give sorry or comforting looks, I think Kylie was right, Benny loves Juliet! The next time I see Benny I'm gonna smash his face with...wait what am I doing I can't do that, he's my best friend and I care for him dearly but he can't have my girl,I think I know who to talk to about this, I went over to my mum who was sitting by my father's grave, every time we past it a small tear would come from our eyes, I loved my farther so much, it was so sad for him to leave the world so soon.

"Mum, can I talk to you about something?"

"Of course you can my dear what's wrong?" She asked showing sympathy in her eyes.

"Well Benny kinda likes Juliet and I don't know what to do"

"Benny likes Juliet?" She shrieked

"Try love her,a lot" I said slightly angry.

"Oh my goodness, well I don't know what to say" she said sadly

"Mum please I can't lose Juliet, I love her too much to let her go." That's when my mum had a idea, I looked in her eyes I I'm sure I could see excitement in them.

"How much do love Juliet" she asked

"With all my heart, I would die for her" I said quick as a flash

"Then give her this," she gave me this small blue box and in it was a silver ring with a diamond and little sapphire gems around it, I recognised this ring, this was my mum's engagement ring!

"Mum I can't take this, it's yours,"

"Not anymore, give it to Juliet if she says yes"

"Yes to what?"

"Your hand in marriage of course"

It was genius if I ask Juliet to Marry me I would spend the rest of my life with the girl I love and I hope she'll say yes and we will be a beautiful married couple, also Benny would probably get over her as well so this is full proof.

"Mum your a genius" I shrieked and hugged her ever so tightly

"I know now go and ask her, the sooner you ask, the sooner we can organise a wedding!"

Hang on I can't ask her yet" I said calming her down,

"Why not?"

"I want the proposal to be romantic and moving, also in front of everybody"

"Ok the any ideas on how to make It perfect?"She asked

I thought about it long and hard and that's when it hit me! I wrote a song about us, my plan is to perform the song for her and and then ask for hand.

"Mum can you do me a favour?" I asked my still listening mother.

"Of course I can, what is it?"

"Get everyone to the centre of the garden In 3 hours including Juliet, make sure she's in front of the crowd ok"

"Uhhh all right but what is your plan my dear?" She asked

"Oh you'll see" I said and walked off to practise my song and my question for my beautiful red princess.
