Chapter twenty-six: Pretty Lil' Birdie

Juliet looked towards her hands, their hands. They fit so perfectly, kind of like a jigsaw puzzle with only two pieces. The wind blew back her hair so it grazed over her sharp shoulders and over and onto her back; she wore her hair down today.

Jimmy was excited for some reason perhaps it was because he was with Juliet or he was happy Gary didn't steal her yet. Perhaps it was because of her appearance or maybe because Zoe was coming to visit.

--

Juliet's hand enlaced itself with both of Jimmy's hands as she planted a soft, gentle, kiss on his lips. Jimmy kissed back, slowly at first but he got into the swing after awhile. Juliet slowed him down with a slight push of her hands, and as she turned around Jimmy grabbed her hips and pushed her back into him. As they hugged, no words were spoken between the two, no glances were exchanged, they just watched the water curl up into the sand.

"Beautiful." Juliet said, squeezing his hand.

"Yes you are." Juliet's face flushed.

"Not me, the water doofus." Jimmy grinned, ear to ear, and kissed her cheek.

"I know, but you are too." Juliet's face flushed an even redder color, but it soon cooled down.

"Sure." Jimmy kissed her neck and whispered, huskily, into her ear:

"Oh, how you are wrong."

./…\.

"Jimmy!" squealed a female voice, oh how Jimmy missed that squeal.

"Zoe!" he greeted her with open arms and Juliet sat there, a frown creasing her made-up face.

That's Zoe? Juliet asked herself, her mouth going slight agape.

She was very, very pretty.

Her short, red hair bounced as she whispered things into Jimmy's ear and her brown eyes filled with joy. Her face was acne free and she had plump lips that were filled with red lipstick and her eyes shaded over with a smoky, black color.

Juliet took a step back as she realized what was going on. They used to be a couple and Zoe was back for a visit, didn't know about Juliet, and Jimmy was acting weird all week.

He was going to dump her until Zoe went back home.

(A/N: DUN DUN DUN! So what's going to happen and what is Zoe doing here!? Will she steal Jimmy away or not?)
