CHAPTER 63
ROMEO’S MANSION
“Yay! I scored again!!” Alvin rejoiced after scoring another goal.
Him and Juliet were both at the garden, playing soccer since Alvin had no classes today.
“You’re really good at it” Juliet picked the ball and walked to him.
“I really wish I had a mom who would play with me this way” Alvin smiled.
“Really?” Juliet sat down on the swing.
“Yeah! On the norms I’m supposed to be sulking right now, just the way I do every year. You know tomorrow is my birthday, the day my mom left us” Alvin smiled sadly
“I’m sorry” Juliet patted her hair.
“I’m sure dad is in his room drinking and each time he does that, he always hurt himself. Can you help him too?” Alvin held her hand.
Juliet sighed.
“Alvin, you know I and your dad don’t really see eye to eye” Juliet said
“Please Best dude” Alvin muttered, at the verge of tears.
Juliet sighed and nodded.
“I’ll try” She said and Alvin smiled then hugged her.
Juliet left him then walked in the house. A naughty grin formed on Alvin’s lips.
“I wonder why it’s taking time for them to fall in love” He thought inwardly.
Juliet stopped in front of Romeo’s room then brought her hand up to knock but paused and brought it back down.
“Why I’m I even doing this” Juliet groaned and gently knocked.
The door opened, revealing Romeo. He had a sour look on his face as he looked at her blankly.
“What?” He asked and as expected, Juliet could perceive the odor of alcohol when he spoke.
“I… Came to keep you company” Juliet muttered, looking away.
“I don’t-”
Before Romeo could finish speaking, Juliet already walked in. Romeo sighed and closed the door then walked to the cellar to resume drinking.
“Cool room, I bet this room is the size of my house” Juliet said with her hands in his pocket, walking boyishly
“I’m not in the mood” Romeo muttered, pouring himself a glass.
He made to drink it but Juliet held his hand, stopping him.
“It’s really unhealthy to drink this way” Juliet said.
“You’re not my mum. Nor my… wife” Romeo said the last statement slowly.
Juliet shrugged and sat down on the stool opposite him.
“If that’s so then I’m drinking with you then” Juliet said and poured the liquor in the glass.
Romeo ignored her then resumed drinking. Each time he’ll pour a glass, Juliet will do same.
It took just 30 minutes for both of them to be drunk. Juliet stood up from the stool and staggered back.
She removed the coat of the suit she was wearing then tossed it off, dragging her tie loose.
“Why is everybody dancing?!” Juliet staggered up, her eyes wavering.
“Why did you drink with me.. Thought you hate me” Romeo asked and hiccuped.
“Of course I hate you! But a painful or sad moment shared becomes less painful” Juliet giggled.
Romeo giggled too.
“She was really my everything. We had plans of growing old together and make so many memories. Each time I see Alvin crying because of how his friends bvlly him it just breaks me more” Romeo said.
