BETTER THAN ROMEO - CHAPTER 49&50 [FINALE]
SOME DAYS LATER; JAKE’S••
“What the hell Jake?” Julia coughed as she left her room. Jake was putting on an apron and oxygen mask, trying to cook but things were failing judging from the black smokes everywhere.
“Why are you up, I was going to bring you breakfast in bed” He said, taking an egg to break but when it touched the pan, he ran backwards.
Julia can’t help but laugh. She rolled her eyes and turned off the cookers then opened the windows so the smoke could go off.
“You don’t have to try too hard Jake. I’m okay if I don’t get breakfast in bed” Julia gave him a weak smile.
Jake took the oxygen mask he was wearing off.
“I just want this to be perfect” He lets out a sigh.
“It’s already perfect Jake,, you’re alive and you’re here with me” Julia smiled thankfully. After the surgery went well, they decided to forget everything and start over.
“Come here then” Jake moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. “I love you,” He said.
“I love you too” Julia smiled and tiptoed to kiss his lips.
“You can’t love more than I love you” Jake murmured in between their kisses.
“No that’s not true” Julia chuckled as they both moved to the chair. A knock at the door interrupted their lovey dovey, making them groan.
“I’ll go get it” Jake planted a kiss on Julia’s forehead before going to get the door. When it opened, it revealed Martha and he closed it back.
“Jake please” Martha begged.
Jake rolled his eyes and opened the door.
“What do you want now?” He asked with a frown.
“I know I promised to live and I will but I want you to meet someone” She said.
“Who?” He was still frowning, crossing his arms on his chest as he watched her.
Martha pressed her lips together before moving sideways, exposing a familiar man to Jake’s view. Jake’s eyes widened, isn’t that bad.
“Please Jake, I know you’re angry with your dad but he really misses you. I will be gone to work on myself. Let your dad take care of you Jake” Martha begged but Jake shook his head.
“All my life, I’ve been doing fine without a dad and I still can. I don’t need the both of you” He replied harshly and closed the door.
“Jake” Julia rubbed his shoulders. “I know you’re angry at them but before you make mistakes. Where will the h@?? take you too?” Julia tried talking to him.
“He hasn’t been around for years and he suddenly shows up and thinks he can be a father to me. It’s not possible” Jake shook his head. “I think I need time to process all these,” Jake sighed.
“I agree with you. Don’t speak to him now, just talk to him whenever you’re ready” Julia said softly and Jake nodded, coming to the conclusion that he would think everything through.
“So…” Julia mumbled.
“So what?” He gave her a knowing smile.
“You ruined breakfast,” she said.
“Did I?” Jake tried to look oblivious.
“Yes,” Julia nodded.
“I do have other plans for breakfast,” Jake said.
“What?” She asked.
“Come closer and I’ll show you”
Julia moved closer to him and he lifted her up, wrapping her legs around his torso as he took her to the kitchen counter.
“What are you doing?” Julia asked in a whisper.
“You said breakfast was ruined but I don’t think so. How about I eat you for breakfast?” He smirked at her and went for her neck.
“Jake it tickles” Julia laughed but it was no longer funny when she felt Jake finger shifted her P@?tî?? and entered her p@zzy.
“Does this tickle?” He whispered in her ears.
“Jake” Julia threw her head backward and Mõ@?ed. His lips were back on hers and before she knew it her back was on the bed. Jake was using his teeth to tear a condom.
Then there were loud Mõ@?s and groans in the room.
❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥
Aime and Sydney were sitting on the bench as they waited for Bryan and Rico to come back from the therapist office. They escort them there everyday.
The door to the physiotherapy office open. Bryan and Rico came out with a tired look.
“Rico” Sydney was the first person to fly from her chair and wrap her arms around him. They engaged in a passionate kiss the next question which made Bryan and Aime look in awe but Bryan shook his head anyways.
“Cookie I’m so tired” He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and gave her a quick peck on her cheek.
“You will be fine” Aime rubbed his chest and they both went out. They met a girl sitting on the bench and reading a book.
“That book looks familiar” Bryan squinted his eyes.
“Shut up, that’s my book!” Aime gasped.
The girl looked up and her eyes widened. She immediately rushed towards them.
“Are you Aime?” She asked but didn’t wait for Aime to reply before jumping. “Oh my God you are Aime, you wrote this book I’m reading!!” She jumped happily.
“I did” Aime answered with a huge smile, she’s trying to maintain her composure when all she wants is to jump and scream right now.
“Can you sign my copy? Can I get a picture? Can I!!!!” The fan was so excited to talk.
“I will” Aime replied and collected the girl’s pen then signed the book.
The last brought out her phone and gave it to Bryan. “Do you mind taking our picture?” She asked.
Bryan smiled proudly. “Sure” He took the phone and snapped their picture.
“Thank you, can I hug you?” She asked Aime one last time. Aime nodded and the lady hugged her tight before screaming and running away.
Aime faced Bryan.
“I’m sorry she ignored you” She muttered.
“f-__-k that babe! Someone loved your book” Bryan held her shoulders and shook her. Aime couldn’t pretend anymore.
“Someone loves my work!!!” She screamed and jumped on Bryan’s arm. He lifted her up and spun her happily, after a while of celebrating, he put her down and cupped her cheeks.
“I’m so happy for you cookie” He mumbled.
“Bryan” Aime called his name and he looked at her. “I think I’m ready to tell my parents I don’t want to be a doctor anymore” She mumbled.
“You sure?” Bryan asked.
“Let the worst happen, I’m already a winner for taking this bold move” She said.
Bryan smiled and hugged her tight.
“I’m very proud of you my love” He mumbled.
“I love you so much Bryan,” Aime smiled.
“Much more darling” He pulled her close and pressed his lips on hers.
“Hey!!! Get a room you too” Rico passed then while holding Sydney’s hand as he gave them a disgusting look.
“What the hell?” Bryan looked confused and Aime could only just laugh. She grabbed his arms and led him to the car so they could both go home.

FEW MONTHS LATER – GGC; FINE ART DEPARTMENT••
“Guys, let’s welcome our new students. Aime” Miss Salome said as she brought Aime to the class. Students were clapping, making loud noises and some were drumming on their table.
“I love your book Aime”
“You’re a badass writer!!”
“That’s enough!” Miss Salome warns her class. “Jake move to the back, Aime and Julia, you both remain partners” Miss Salome ordered.
Julia pouted as Jake left her seat but she was excited to have Aime as her seatmate. When Aime sat beside her, they both did a secret handshake under their desk.
After a few hours, the lecture was over.
“Julia” Someone called when Julia was about to step out. She turned back to see Amanda walking towards her with a smirk and she rolled her eyes.
“Why are you still bothering me. You won and we don’t owe each other anything anymore” Julia sighed.
“I know I just wanted to see your face and let you know I still don’t like you but I won’t bother you and Jake anymore” She said before walking away.
Julia rolled her eyes.
“Once a ?îtçh always a ?îtçh” Aime mumbled as she came with Jake.
“Rico is inviting us to his place for a house party,” Aime added.
Jake shrugged. They were already cool so he didn’t have problems attending to his parents. They went outside and a familiar car was waiting for Jake at the parking lot.
“How many times will I tell you to stop coming to my school?” Jake sighed tiredly.
“Please, let me just drop you off” His father, Henry, begged.
“I’m going with my girlfriend” Jake replied but Julia was quick enough to jump out.
“Actually I’m leaving with Aime and I will be with my mom later today. Jake has nothing to do so I believe he would love to bond with you” She said.
“I have somewhere to be in the evening” Jake found another excuse.
“Jake, just go with your dad. You can’t ignore him forever” Aime sighed.
“I support Aime and we’ll see you at Rico’s this evening and I’m also taking your car” Julia blew him a kiss and left with Aime.
Jake signed and entered his dad’s car. Seems like he had no choice anyway. Maybe getting to know his father again won’t be such a bad thing.

RICO’S PARTY••
It’s evening, few students were available vibing to the music and wh@??ver was going on.
“So you’re saying Jay has been expelled?” Kelvin asked Rico. They were all sitting on the floor and chatting.
“Apparently he deals with drugs,” Rico shrugged.
“Well, I don’t miss him” Sydney said and they all laughed. Kelvin looked at Rico and Sydney then smirked.
“Remember when you were fighting me for my girl?” He suddenly asked, making Kaelyn tap him.
“Dead @zz” Rico picked a pillow and threw it at him. “Why would you say that in front of my girl?” He frowned.
Kelvin threw the pillow back and they both began chasing themselves with pillows. Kaelyn and Sydney only shook their heads.
“How was your dad?” Julia rested her head on Jake’s shoulder as she asked.
“Not bad but it’s still kinda weird for me” Jake replied.
“Same with how my mom is,” Julia chuckled.
Jake took her knuckles and kissed it.
“I’m just glad that everything is fine and we don’t get to hide like we are doing things wrong anymore” He said and Julia nodded, agreeing with him.
“I’m happy to be able to tell you I love you openly” She said.
“Or kiss your lips not caring if anyone is watching” Jake pecked her as he said that. “And maybe not try to finger you under the tables”
“Jake” Julia’s cheeks was red as she hit him.
“I love you,” Jake said seriously.
“I love you too” Julia whispered and he gripped her throat, pulling her close to take her lips. Julia only smiled in the kiss.
A pillow suddenly hit them making them disengage.
“What do you think you’re doing with the pillow fight?” Aime shouted excitedly.
“No I’m too cool for that” Bryan crossed his arms not moving from his seat.
Jake smirked and picked a pillow to throw at him. Julia did too and Aime.
“That’s it!!” He grabbed a pillow and joined in the fight.
The living room was scattered with the feathers of the pillows. Happy noises and happy smiles. Sometimes in life you have a bad day, sometimes it’s a good day and we must all live up to it to the best we can, the world is not against you.
THE f-__-kING END
