VIII. Romeo and Juliet and Wendy?
PS.: Hello you guys! So sorry for the late update.
The next day after the concert…
"Darn it!" huffed Romeo as he ran as quickly as he can.
"Stalker…" he thought as he kept running towards Clive Complex.
When he entered the room, he slammed the door quickly. Everybody could tell that Romeo was angry about something.
"What's up?" Loke asked with a don't-make-him-mad look on his face.
"That stalker girl's at it again huh?" Gray said as he was going through the fridge.
Jellal punched him on the shoulder.
"What was that for?!"
"You always like adding fuel to the fire don't you, Gray? Anyway, Romeo…"
"Don't ask", Romeo interrupted. He's so cute whenever he becomes angry.
Suddenly, the boys heard a knock on the door.
"Don't open it!" Romeo exclaimed.
"Come on, Romeo. That stalker won't follow you up here", Jellal replied as he opened the door. Romeo went to hiding behind the couch.
It was Wendy Marvell, Lucy's cousin.
"May I help you?" Jellal asked politely.
"Uhm…I'm looking for Lucy. She forgot her bento".
As soon as Romeo heard Wendy's voice, he knew it wasn't his stalker. Wendy then introduced herself.
"She's not here, but you can wait for her. Come inside", said Jellal.
Wendy spotted Romeo. She immediately remembered their fated encounter on the grocery store before (Chapter II). She sat on the couch and the boys introduced themselves, including Romeo.
"Lucy went out with Natsu to buy some food", explained Loke.
There was a second knock on the door. Romeo didn't hesitate to open since he was confident that the stalker wasn't following him around anymore. As he opened the door,
A girl with long blonde hair, green eyes and whenever you see her, you'd realize that she looks like a Juliet.
"O Romeo, Romeo!" she exclaimed hugging Romeo.
"Hay, get off me!"
"Why are you so mean to me, Romeo? I just want you to take me on a date."
"Just so you know stalker, I don't date random girls. Heck, I don't even date at all!"
"My name is Juliet, not stalker. Then tell me why."
"Why what?"
"Why don't you want me to date you? Do you like somebody else?"
"I do!"
Romeo panicked and just answered that he has somebody he likes.
"Then who?" Juliet wanted to know.
"I-i-it's…"Romeo didn't know whose name he was going to mention. The boys wanted to help him, but they found the drama interesting, so they didn't bother. Wendy just watched in surprise. Romeo suddenly pointed to Wendy.
"It's her! She's the one that I like", Romeo answered with a red face. Wendy didn't see this coming. She was also blushing and Juliet became tongue- tied .
"This is just like a drama on T.V.", Loke said and Jellal and Gray nodded in unison.
"Alright? So stop following me. Wendy's the only one I'm interested in", Romeo said and shut the door.
Romeo let out a sigh of relief.
"So you're interested in Wendy?" Loke teased.
"I panicked, okay?" Romeo said and he looked at Wendy. Their eyes met and both of them blushed and looked away instantly. Loke noticed this and started teasing Romeo even more.
"Wendy's the only one I'm interested in! Hahaha" said Gray mimicking Romeo.
"Shut up!" Romeo was embarrassed.
After a few minutes, Wendy decided to go home and just leave the bento for Lucy.
"Uhm… Excuse me, but I have to go now. I still have things I need to do", Wendy said.
"Okay, take care", Loke said with a big smile.
"Romeo, go and take Wendy to her house", Jellal said while reading a book.
"Huh?" Romeo did not know what to say.
"You told your stalker that you like Wendy. She might be waiting for Wendy outside. Take responsibility because you just jumped right in without thinking that Juliet might threaten her", lectured Jellal.
Romeo had no choice but to accompany the blue-haired little girl.
Meanwhile, at the grocery store…
"Lucy, I need to meet someone so can you bring back the grocery to Clive Complex?" Natsu asked.
"Okay. Natsu, I don't mean to pry but the person you're meeting… is it…"
"Lisanna? Yeah, I'm gonna see her today."
After that little conversation, Natsu helped Lucy with the grocery bags and put them into the car. Suddenly, a dashing car that almost hit a cat caught their attention.
"Stupid cat!" exclaimed the reckless the driver.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" Natsu said as the blue stray cat ran towards their direction.
"See ya, orange juice", he said and let Lucy take the car while he walked to meet Lisanna.
Lucy brought the cat along with her.
"You can come with me. Who knows what will happen to you next time", said Lucy as she holds the cat in her arms.
Meanwhile…
Romeo and Wendy sat together in the car, not saying a word to each other.
"I'm sorry I got you into this mess, Wendy", Romeo finally broke the silence.
"It's fine", Wendy said in a shy tone.
Suddenly, her stomach grumbles. She flushed red and Romeo laughed.
"We would have offered you some cake but our manager ate all the food. Let's go get something to eat".
Wendy refused at first but Romeo insisted. They stopped at a restaurant. As they ate, they enjoyed light conversations and Wendy began to smile and laugh. She became comfortable talking with Romeo.
They were about to go out of the restaurant when a blonde girl took them by surprise by pouring iced tea on Wendy.
"Are you crazy? What did you do that for?!" Romeo was furious.
"That's what you get for taking away my Romeo", Juliet said and walked away.
"I'm really, really sorry about this, Wendy", Romeo apologized while they were on the car.
"Don't worry about it. It's just iced tea", Wendy replied.
Wendy then bade goodbye and thanked Romeo when they reached her house.
Time passed and it was already seven in the evening. A package was sent to Lucy's house where Wendy was staying.
"Hey Wendy, this is for you", said Lucy as she handed the package to her cousin.
When she opened the box, it was a lovely dress. There was also a note saying, "Thanks for today, Wendy. I enjoyed our date."
This made Wendy smile and blush.
