Kelis POV
Mum's eyes widen in realisation and she mouths something, I think it's my name. I her a smirk and a wink, she smiles back, I then gracefully get to my feet. I know she'll probably chase me all over England now that she knows what I look like, it's a good job I'm up for that challenge. I silently move towards the stairs, I can feel Mum's gaze on my back. I take a deep breath to steady myself, this is it. I turn around and look into the eyes of my Mother, they're full of love. Anyone thought of my plans vanish as the loving gaze fills my mind, this may be harder then I thought. I have to be strong though. Come on Kelis, think of all the times she's yelled at you! Think of those lies and all of the secrets!
The bad memories fight against her loving gaze, then the good memories join the battle. The times when I wasn't so unsure towards her. Images of past birthdays, Christmases, holidays and summers fight alongside her love. It's almost like a slide show, each picture flicking past so fast that I can barely see the faces within them. But I don't need to have a good look at them because I have lived them. As soon as it starts it ends, for what has felt like hours has only been seconds. And here comes the headache, throb, throb, throb, thank you Mother!
I can feel my eyes fill with guilt, guilt at what I'm about to do. My mouth opens and I gulp down a large amount of air, as I exhale my eyes close. When I reopen my eyes they fill with determination , then I bolt. My feet pound against the floor and my arms move as fast as they can, I don't dare to look behind me. If I find that damn gaze again I could crumble, I'm not ready to go back yet. I push people out the way and yell out words of apology, manners cost nothing after all! Typical isn't it? I'm probably being chased by my Mother and I'm concentrating on manners, I think I'm turning into a geek again. God I hope I don't go down that path again, remember when I was fourteen and on my way to St Trinians? I do.
I trip over something and stumble slightly, I brace my self for the impact of the ground. But it never comes, someone's caught me, I look up into the eyes of my rescuer. Why hello there Mr Pedro, fancy seeing you here.
"Young love," Jenifer coos, oh so now she makes an appearance, I give her a glare. Then she starts humming something that sounds like 'here comes the bride', she's dead. I leap out of Pedro's strong arms and chase my laughing cousin around the globe theatre, all thoughts of Mum chasing me have vanished from my mind.
"Get back here!" I yell after her,
"I don't think so!" She laughs,
"You are so dead!" I pant, this running business is hard work,
"At the moment I'm alive," I can't see her face but I know she's wearing that smug smile. She stops, why is she stopping? Oh. I turn around and see confused looks of the audience, I freeze. Shit. We're on the stage. Double shit. Jen's just stolen Romeo's sword. Well if that's how she's going to play it so be it. I pulled out, by the looks of things, Tybalt's sword. I run at her with my sword raised, she runs at me and we clash in the middle. Every time I swing at her she dodges or blocks, I do the same when she attacks. Then she gets sneaky and strikes at my feet, I jump and tuck my feet in towards my body. When I land I strike again, skilfully I hit her sword with fast strikes. On my last one I twist it around hers and force it away from her grasp, threateningly I hold the sword to her chin and grin,
"I forgot you practised with Pedro," She grumbles, "lover boy taught you some tricks,"
"Do you really think it's smart to make comments about untrue things when you've got a sword pointed at ya neck?"
"You wouldn't harm your darling cousin, just think about what Pedro would think if you did," She winks,
"One of these days," I grumble as I drop the sword,
"You'll what Kelis? Finally admit that you love Pedro?" She shouts so everyone can hear, I grit my teeth, "Kelis and Pedro sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" She sings, why do I get the childish cousin?
"Just because I dropped the sword doesn't mean that I still can't slap you,"
"You wouldn't slap you favourite cousin," Jen says with big, innocent eyes,
"You're my only cousin!" I laugh,
"Just like Pedro's your only love," She smirks,
"For the last time. Me. And. Pedro. Are. Only. Friends!" I say slowly,
"Yet." She smiles, then she walks off the stage leaving me with angry actors and a confused audience. Perfect.
I've said this once and I'll say it again, Don't you just love Jen? Cause I do.
Reviews make more Jen and Kelis fights, cause I love 'em ;]
