Chapter four: A little Quality Time
She let it slip; the whole king thing just because she really didn't know. She was confused and surprised, but she didn't want to know. She laughed along with Pete as Jimmy told him about his town adventures.
"That was the last townie I saw this week!" Jimmy smiled, folding his arms behind his head. It was nearly eight o'clock and she was tired for some reason.
"Nice Jimmy!" Pete complimented him. Jimmy smiled widely and looked at Juliet. He quirked an eyebrow and sighed.
"Tired already Juliet?" Juliet's eyes snapped open.
"N-no." slightly embarrassed she had been caught. He quirked his eyebrow yet again.
"Uh huh, want me to walk you back to your dorm?" Juliet smiled and suppressed a yawn.
"Nah! It's only eight, the night is still young!" Pete frowned a little, but hid it. He, too, was also tired and wanted to sleep, but he didn't want to drag anyone down. Jimmy slapped her back lightly and smiled.
"There we go. How I show you 'round town?" Pete looked upset, but walked quietly back to the dorm without Juliet or Jimmy notice.
"Uh, sure. Then I know where some edible food places were." Jimmy chuckled lightly and hooked her arm with his.
"Let's go get my bike."
"Uh huh, where am I goin' to sit?"
"On my handlebars." Juliet looked terrified.
"Please don't run into any walls." Jimmy looked at her and rolled his eyes.
"Oh ha-ha." Juliet smiled to herself as they walked towards the garage.
./…\.
"Oh my god!" Juliet shrieked as they almost ran into another wall, "damn it! I told you not to run into walls." Jimmy laughed, he loved to see her frightened face; it was hilarious.
"So what do you want to do? It's only nine." Jimmy said, checking his watch. Juliet looked up and then around her.
"Hey, what about the beach?" Jimmy looked at her.
"What 'bout the beach?"
"I wanna go see it." Jimmy looked at her with a bored expression, he has been there more than fifty times.
"Ugh, what 'bout the carnival?" Juliet laughed.
"I have never been there, but I wanna go when we and Pete have enough time." Jimmy looked back and suddenly remembered; where was Petey?
"Whatever." He said and turned to bike and went do the steps. As Juliet laughed her hair was coming out of her ponytail. No one has ever seen her with her hair down.
"Wee." She shouted; the cold air felt good on her face. Suddenly, the bike stopped and Jimmy hopped off and so did Juliet.
"It smells so good!" Juliet said, smelling the fresh watery air. She had never been to a lake or a beach or anything; only a pool and the pond in her backyard. Jimmy watched, amused, as Juliet spun in circles.
"What are you doin'?" Jimmy asked, sitting in the sand.
"I don't know; I just want to spin around in circles." Jimmy only nodded and watched as Juliet dipped her feet in the lake's cool water. Shivers went up her spine as her foot touched the water's surface. She decided to walk into the water up to her knees, as she held her skirt up since she already took off her shoes and socks. She turned to Jimmy.
"Come on Jimmy, the water's fine!" Jimmy shook his head and waved.
"Nah, you enjoy yourself, the water's probably freezing." Her chest fell slightly and she pouted.
"Fine, be a party pooper." Jimmy smirked and brushed off the sand.
"Who's a party pooper?"
"You are." Jimmy stripped of his shoes and socks and marched in the water.
"Excuse me?" Juliet giggled lightly at her friend.
"You're getting your pants soaked." Jimmy stared down at his pants and then back up.
"Doesn't matter, but I gonna soak you."
"What?" Juliet asked, looked slightly terrified. Suddenly, Jimmy flipped her over his shoulder; she was surprisingly light.
"Ah! Jimmy! Put me down this instant!" Juliet screamed, pounding on his back the suddenly she left cold water all around her body. She sat up, spitting water out of her mouth.
"Jimmy!"
./…\.
Soon a little after midnight, both Jimmy and Juliet were coming out of water soaked to the bone.
"Thanks Jimmy, that was great." Juliet said sarcastically as she squeezed the water out of her hair. Jimmy just shook himself off and smirked.
"Welcome milady." He joked; taking her hand in his he led her back to his bike.
"Oh no…" Juliet said, looking at her watch. It was 12:15 and she knew her father would kill her if he found her out past curfew, with a boy… she didn't want to think about it.
"What?"
"I'm afraid we'll get caught… I can't afford to get caught with my dad working there."
"Your dad works at Bullworth?" Juliet looked at him and glanced down at her shoes.
"Uh yeah…"
"Wait… I have a house on the beach side just a couple yards away, wanna stay there?" Juliet looked cautious, but all at the same time; thankful.
"Really Jimmy? Oh! Thank you." She said as Jimmy picked up his bike and led her to his "beach house".
"We're almost there, don't worry." Juliet looked at Jimmy thoughtfully. As they entered the "beach house", Jimmy showed Juliet the bed, the pop machine, and then the "poker" table.
"Thanks again Jimmy, my father would kill me if he ever found me hanging out with a boy and especially at night." Jimmy smiled lightly.
"Yeah, fathers and their daughters: always protective." Juliet laughed lightly and scratched her head.
"Yeah: protective." Jimmy shrugged and coughed a little.
"You can take the bed, I'll take the chairs." Juliet nodded a little and made her way to the bed, but turned at the last minute.
"Thanks Jimmy…" Jimmy nodded and fell back onto the couch/chairs. Juliet sat on the bed and shivered; she was still soaked, but she ignored it and lay in bed. For the three hours, she didn't fall asleep until the clock struck four.
