Romeo and Juliet

Angel felt the warmth of her hand, and he squeezed it, not hard he didn't want to hurt her hands. He hadn't been able to look himself in the eye today when he got out of the shower and was brushing his teeth.

"I can't look at another girl, your the only person I really liked since... Well... Nevermind." He said. He didn't want to go to his memory box right now.

Juliet smiled. She didn't care what other girls he had dated.

Just then a cute brown haired girl walked by and sauntered up to angel.

"Hey. So...you busy tonight?" she asked completely ignoring Juliet.

Juliet shrunk back. of course she'd be invisible next to this...this...well, angel. His name fit him well. he was her angel. Or was he hers? she didn't know. She just knew she loved him completely. How could she not?

Angel looked down at the girl, his eyes darkening in irratation. For goodness sake! He was in the middle of a conversation. He simply ignored the girl and took hold of Juliet's hand and led her out of the store. She was quiet, when he looked at her, she had flushed completely out of color.

"You, OK, baby?" he asked, kissing the top of her head. "She's not important, you are. I have no idea who she is." he spoke truthfully.

Juliet's eye's brightened as he looked at her. She loved him so much. She just wanted to spend every moment she had with him.

They just started walking. she looked at her watch. "I have to get home. are you going to come tonight to the party?" she asked hopefully.

He looked at her, for her he would deffiantly do anything. ANYTHING even dress up for her.

"I'll be there." he said.

"Good." she smiled.

Juliet kissed him passionately before rushing home.

she wet upstairs towards her room and was bombarded with servants telling her what to do what to ware, what she was to say, how she was to act. It was all very tiring.

Finally, she stood facing the miror. she was dressed in a floor length black dress. it was strapless. Her shoulders perfectly tan. Her violet eyes stood out against the black. Her hair was pulled back and a purple flower was in her hair. she had on black high heels under her dress.

Her mother came in and ushered her towards the ball room. A purple mask was slipped over her eyes. She took a deep breath as they announced her and she floated out into the room. She was so nervous.

She wondered what Angel looked like. was he here? Which one was he? was he as nervous as she was? Was he dying to see her? To hold her? To kiss her? She glanced around hoping to see him, or that he would see her.

she kept walking down onto thedance floor, taking just one step at a time.

Angel had no idea what to do or say? He looked like an idiot he was in a black tux, his golden hazel eyes sparkling, his mask was black with golden lacing. His black glossy curls had mouss in it. He stood in line with the other guys. He was much taller than the other ones. He saw three girls walk into the room, he knew which one was Juliet, she was the tallest and the most beautiful. The other two were her... sisters?

Juliet saw the guy she wanted to dance with. Her two best friends went to pick out their partners. She went over to the tallest guy and curtsied. "Would you care to dance?" she ask softly, looking up at him with violet eyes.

He looked down at her, he felt his eyes laugh at her, yes, laugh. He nodded at took her hand. He led her out and began dancing, he noticed a woman approached from no where, with big bright violet eyes that looked lifeless. She looked like Juliet's mother. She also looked liked she was unhappy, pale, and hadn't been in a room with light since Jules was born.

When he was dancing with her she kept her eyes below his neck. "I have to be completely honest, I'm in a relationship with a girl right now and she's really special." he said, testing her.

"Oh, then why did you come?" she asked.

"Because I promised that really special girl that I would." he smiled,

she looked up. "Angel?"

"Yes, baby?" he asked.

Juliet blushed. "Angel, does this means that we're together?"

"Hmm?"

"Like...that we're dating? Ya know...exclusively?"

He looked at her.

she blushed. "Never mind. What do you think of my dress?" she asked.

He looked down at the material thinking of how good it would look off of her, but he wasn't going to say anything to upset her.

"The dress looks great. The mask is incredible too." he added, looking down at her. "And to answer your earlier question, yes."

"Yes what?" she asked.

"I think we're pretty much dating." he smiled. "Only if you want you..." he said.

Juliet flashed him a bright small. She was so happy. She was estatic!!! He was hers...all hers.

She wanted to kiss him, but she knew everyone was watching. More girls came in and started dancing. juliet wanted to get lost in the croud so that her mom wouldn't know what she was doing or where she was.

She smiled up at angel. "So...we're...really in an exclusive relationship?" she asked hesitantly, not wanting to push him into anything.

"Correct, do you want your prize now or later?" he asked, with a smile curling at the ends of his mouth.

"Later, it wouldn't be a good impression if you... you know... kissed me infront of my mom. She'd probably go blind or something."

Angel held back the urge to snort. Like he was going to make a good first impression on her mother. Riiiiight.

Angel heard the clock chime, it was offically 9:30 PM he closed his eyes. "I have to go."

"Is this like Cinderella backwards?" she asked.

"Something like that."

Juliet gulped and held back tears. she didn't want him to leave. she'd be stuck with all the stupid guys. They'd be begging for her attentuon. She only wanted to be with Angel.

She sighed. "Will I see you at school tomorrow?" she asked sadly.

Angel touched Juliet's chin. "I have to go, as for school... of course you will." he said, and kissed her on the cheek.

Once he let go of her hand it felt like his energy was being drained. He already missed her.
