Four

I met Juliet again in the Lecture hall. We have been texting each other for a while now, and that day she texted me that she was in the lecture hall. I had seen her and quickly sat at her side. She smelled so good and I loved that she had pulled her hair in a bun.

" you look beautiful" I told her

She smiled sweetly " Thanks, and you look pretty too"

I didn't like when people tell me I look pretty, but they always didn't listen, they always say that I was way pretty for a guy. But since this was from Juliet, I couldn't help but appreciate it more.

During lectures, she ignored me and paid close attention to the Literature professor. I noticed she liked Literature as a Course but I didn't like it. It was just a lot of books, but it became more interesting because that was the only course we had together. She also doesn't hesitate to make her points to the professor.

After lectures, she invited me over to her room. It was a small room and it looked girly. Clara was having a bottle of beer when we barged in. She was puzzled but smiled widely on seeing me.

" Don't mind her drinking, that's like her daily ritual" Juliet said.

I simply nodded and sat on her bed.

" When did this become a ship?" Clara asked me.

" None of your business Clara," Juliet answered instead.

" Oh my God, I am so happy for you Juliet. Finally a man that could win your heart. I didn't know you liked them adorable and Cute"

I laughed but Juliet hissed and sat close by on the bed.

" Let me leave you two lovebirds" she giggled and swallowed all her beer, then waved before leaving.

She turned to me " So. Bryan. Tell me about music. I notice you only love Music and your guitar"  And Her too, she forgot to put that too.

" I don't only like music, I love other things too. But music has a way of making me feel better when others don't"

" Aww. So what kind of music do you play?, I would love to hear it one day "

" why not come over to where I work. I want to play something special for you"  I would be so shy, but i wouldn't let her know.

" I will. Let's make it weekend"

I agreed with her. Clearly she was accepting my date.

*******

During the week, I did my new job with excitement, the weekends would be my time with Juliet and I couldn't wait for it.

My new job wasn't that bad. The only thing that creeped me out was my new Boss. He always looked at me with this arrogant smirk that I hated,  each time he walked in with his guards. He was always in the VIP area each time he didn't travel out of town.

For a week, he didn't say a thing to me, but sometimes I could feel his gaze on me, it was so intense and I don't know why he did that. Later, before I could leave, One of his mean and heavy muscled bodyguards told me that he wanted to see me. I panicked. Why does he want to see me?I  wondered if I was his next target. I didn't have anything Valuable that he would want to take.  If he wanted to see me so much, why didn't he personally tell me that?Why would he just sit there and order people around?

When I met him, he sat cross legged on the sofa and sipped his wine. He signaled his Guards to leave, only the one who called me remained far away leaning on the wall and later I got to know that his name was Noah. He was looking away from us when I glanced at him.

" Hello sir" I didn't care to force a smile.

But he smiled wildly. He scanned me for a while. " Sit with me, don't just stand there"

I hesitantly settled on the sofa, a little far from him.

"Wine?"

"No sir, Thanks"

" You look so young. You look eighteen?" He slightly shook the glass before he sipped it.

Why was he so concerned about my youth?  "Am not that young, I am twenty one. I am not eighteen" I corrected.

We stayed silent for a while, he watched me silently sipping his wine. And I didn't know what to do but wait till he was done with me, I didn't want to upset him or make him hit me. He could easily tell that mean bodyguard over there to hit me till I bled to death and bury my body so that nobody could find it. I wondered how many people he had murdered?.

" Let me take you home?" He asked later. He was done with the glass, he dropped it on the Table. Then straightened his Suede suit.

" no sir,, I can take myself home" I stood up, wanting to leave.

He quickly stood up and held my arms, his palms were so big that it covered my thin arms. " please, just wait a little, I will take you home"

I was surprised, I shrugged. Worried about him insisting. He reached out and took his car keys from his body guard over the wall. He whispered something to him before he ushered me out. I felt a hand on my back as he led me out to his black gigantic Suv, it was quickly pulled away.

I gave him directions and he drove me back to my Dorm. The car drive was intense and I couldn't find my words. When he dropped me off at my Dorm, he demanded for my mobile line and I gave it to him.

" I will have my driver to pick you up each time you want to leave for job"

This was insane. " Thanks I really appreciate but I can't accept it"

" It's nothing, I will send him anyway. I don't care if you reject it"

Okay, that was weird. " I will be going to my room. Thanks again"

" You are welcome" he smiled, I felt his eyes on my back as I got out of the car.
