Decisions 20

When Romeo and Kim walked up the driveway, the first thing Kim saw was the big Moving Truck. The back doors were being locked up by two burly men. She glanced at Romeo, confused. What were they doing? As they reached the door, a woman came out. She looked up and stopped in her tracks. Then a smile broke out across her face.

"Oh! You must be Kim!" she grinned.
"Yeah…?"
"Oh I’m MJ…Mary-Jane. You mother rented this beautiful house to my family. We’ve just finished packing everything up, and I cleaned the house top to bottom. So…everything’s all ready for you"

Kim smiled. She liked MJ, she was bubbly and kind.
"Thank you. I hope you liked the house. Um…if you don’t mind me asking, where are you going now?"
MJ nodded.
"We like the area, and the school – my son goes to the same one as you I suppose – and so we’re just moving into a house down the road…full-term" she pointed.

Just then a boy about their age came up the driveway. He had a big grin plastered on his face, and his hand was around a pretty girl. They stopped next to MJ. But Kim noticed how the girl’s smile dimmed a little, and Romeo looked awkward.

"Kim, this is my Son Kyle. Kyle this is Kim. She’s the owner’s daughter. And I think you know Romeo right?" she gestured.

"Yeah" he chirruped.
"Oh sorry. Kim this is Ruby. Kyle’s girlfriend."

Kim’s gaze shot to Ruby. So this was the girl who had made a pass at Romeo. She narrowed her eyes, and leant into Romeo, protective now. Ruby saw and smiled a little.

"Look Romeo… Kim, I’m sorry about what happened. It was stupid and it’ll never happen again" Ruby suddenly said.
"It’s fine. Just make sure it doesn’t" Kim replied.
"Yeah" Romeo mumbled.

MJ nodded and handed the keys to Kim.
"Well we have lots of unpacking to do...so we’ll be off. Bye Kim, Romeo. It was nice meeting you" she waved and Kyle and Ruby followed her to a SUV parked behind the Truck.

Romeo glanced at Kim, who was grinning and shaking her head. She unlocked the door, and gasped as Romeo swept her up into his hands.
"What are you doing" she shrieked, laughing.
"Carrying you over the threshold" he chuckled.
"We’re not married, you div"
"But you haven’t occupied this residence for a whole year! So therefore, we should make it special" he grinned and carried her in, kicked the door shut and flung her on the sofa, collapsing on top of her.

Giggling and spluttering, Kim tickled him until he rolled off her. She snuggled into his embrace and sighed.
"Wait! What about the bags?" she whispered.
"They’re fine outside the door. No one’s gonna steal your dirty knickers" he smirked.
"Hey!" She hit him playfully "My knickers are clean! Not that you’d know, Mr. I Don’t Change My Boxers for About a Year" she said in a deep voice.
"Or do you wear briefs!" she giggled.

Romeo raised an eyebrow but said nothing. He was savouring the moment. This was what he had missed. The laughs, the cuddles. Kim herself mostly, but the whole atmosphere she took around with her. He kissed her softly and almost laughed when she curled her hands into his hair. It was like she was addicted to it! If she didn’t stop, soon he’d be bald.

They kissed for a long while. It was like all the kisses they had missed in a year, rolled into one, or a few.
"Hmmm" she mumbled when they finally broke apart. Her lips were lightly throbbing, but she liked the feeling. For the tenth time today, she looked at Romeo, and just stared, taking in all his features. His eyes that changed colour, from blue to green, like a cat’s. His longggggggg eyelashes, which secretly she yearned to have. His smooth skin, GORGEOUS dimples and incredibly sexy eyebrow piercing. His hair was longer than when she had first seen him. He smiled and stared back. She kissed him again, this time it ran deeper than before. It said; I can’t believe I love you much. And it was true. She loved him with all her heart, and the same was for Romeo. He couldn’t ever imagine going through another year without her.

When they had settled down, wrapped round each other, cuddled up on the sofa, they started talking.
Apparently on her last day in France, Frankie had tried to snog Kim. She dodged her, but admitted that she still wanted to be friends with her. Frankie was all blasé about it, but Kim said she knew she was hurting.

Romeo rally had nothing to say about him, except that he had been miserable. Kim scolded him about him but said that there had been days when she had been miserable too. They came to talking about the last few months. Kim started crying. That day on the Eiffel tower had just reminded her of all sorts of things, and it caused her to start thinking about her life. Like university, after college. She was sorry about that; she hadn’t meant anything by it. Also when she had told him to fuck off, she was sad about leaving France and her Aunt behind, and having to live back with her bitch of a mother. It had put her in a bad mood, that and the fact that her aunt had shrunk her favorite skinny jeans.

"Girls. All they think about is Clothes, clothes, and make-up" Romeo had commented.
"No. I think about you all the time actually. Those things come second" Kim murmured in his ear. She was tired, and her eyes were drooping, but her voice was clear. Romeo smiled and kissed her eyelids.
"Go to sleep. You’re tired".
She wrapped her arms round his neck, burrowing into his chest and fell asleep.
