Chapter eleven: Soon Enough Part II

"Uh thanks…" Jimmy said as he looked at Beatrice's gift. It was a calculator. Beatrice's face became flustered as Jimmy pecked her cheek.

"Can you kiss me on the lips?" Beatrice asked as she looked behind him. Jimmy shook his head and looked down.

"I don't feel like kissing anyone… even though kissing someone appeals to my mind." Beatrice's head dropped as she stalked away.

"So who's this 'someone'? Huh Jimmy?" He jumped a little and turned. Juliet stood, smiling like a little child, holding a large box. It was wrapped in blue wrapping paper and on top is a pink sparkly bow.

"What's that?" Jimmy asked, quirking a lazy eyebrow.

"It's yours." Jimmy took the box and un-wrapped it slowly. After the paper came off, Jimmy smiled as his present. It was a SX110 IS camera from canon; actually, that's the only thing he wanted for Christmas.

"Huh, thanks Juliet. I got you and Petey somethin' it's at my dorm." Juliet smiled lightly, feeling her heart skip a beat.

"Oh, well, want me and Petey to meet you somewhere?" Jimmy nodded slowly and smiled.

"How 'bout the entrance of the carnival?" Juliet smiled and nodded her head wildly.

"Okay, meet you later!" As Jimmy walked off, Juliet ran towards Petey; who was walking towards the entrance. She grabbed his arm and dragged him to the carnival.

./…\.

"So what was so important that you dragged me all the way over to the carnival?" Petey asked, pointing over his head at the colorful wheel spinning.

"Jimmy said he had presents!" she said, clapping her hands lightly and hugged Petey.

"Excited?" Juliet laughed.

"I haven't got a gift from a friend since… ever!" Juliet exclaimed letting go of her friend, "Sorry, I'm a little over excited." Petey rubbed his head and laughed dryly.

"I can tell." They waited for what seemed like hours in the cold night air, but finally Juliet saw a ginger buzz cut racing threw the crowds. Finally, Jimmy had made it to them.

"Hey Jim-bo, what took ya' so long?" Juliet asked, slinging a cold arm around his neck. Jimmy shivered when her arm touched his skin; she was cold. He shoved a package into her grasp and again for Petey.

"They ain't much, but I tried." Jimmy said; scratching his head. Juliet un-wrapped the sloppy wrapping paper and widened her mouth in excitement.

"Aw, thanks Jimmy-boy!" she yelled over the crowd and hugged him. It took Jimmy a minute to compute what she was doing, but he hugged her back in a moment. She looked down at the cute stuffed bunny. Its small nose was black, but the rest gray. Juliet had gushed that she loved baby bunnies; they were the cutest.

"Uh, welcome." Petey smiled and mouthed to her 'told-ya'. Petey held the magazine close, his face flushed again.

"Aw, did you buy the same month as me Jimmy?" she asked. Jimmy coughed.

"What?"

"Did you get him a playgirl magazine?" Jimmy's face flushed for a moment and it was gone in a flash.

"How'd ya' know?"

"His face." She replied, pointing at his flustered face, "What month is it?"

"Uh, December."

"Oh damn," Juliet smiled curtly, "we bought him the same issue." Petey's face deepened in color as he stuffed the magazine in his pocket.

"You guys are so mean." After Petey's comment, he stormed off to—god who knows. Jimmy let out a hard laugh and patted her back.

"Wow, made him angry."

"You think that's funny?" Juliet asked, pouting somewhat and slugging him in the arm.

"What a friend you are." Juliet walked off with a yelling Jimmy:

"I didn't mean it!"

(A/N: Okay, so I hated this chapter just because it seemed rushed. Tell me what you think by reviewing! Thanks!)
