Juliet's POV
I was on my way to the subway home.
Lesley said she was coming by tonight, and she left her stuff at my house.
And I was on my way to Hayes's house.
I went on to my train, played Do I Wanna Know? by Arctic Monkeys, then by the time it was over I had to leave the train, and head off to Hayes's house.
What was I going to say?
In a few blocks, I'll be at his doorstep, and I wouldn't be prepared even if he said the words for me. I couldn't handle it.
I knocked on the door.
"I'll get it!" I heard Nash yell.
He opened the door, and...smiled?
"Hey Nash, why are you so happy?" I asked.
"My friend I met a while ago is coming over." He said.
"Oh, who?" I asked.
"Her name's Mahogany." He said as he let me inside.
"Oh, that's cool. Maybe I'll see her sometime soon?" I said.
"Yeah! We might throw a party or go bowling...whatever." He shrugged.
"Great. I'd love to go." I said.
Hayes came down the stairs.
"Juliet, can I talk to you." He said, his arms folded and staring at me.
"Sure." I said as I followed him upstairs.
He closed the door behind me.
"Did you know we were both cheated on?" I said.
"Really? Oh, Melanie hooking up with Aaron? Yeah I don't mind. I broke up with her before that." He said.
"Wow, okay. But I mind because he was dating me and then accused me of cheating but he was cheating this whole time too." I said tearing up.
"It's okay. It's over now, right?" Hayes said.
"Yeah." I shrugged.
I sat down on his bed.
"Now what?" He laughed, as I tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.
"I think the situation should just die down a bit. Who knows? Maybe when it's over we shou-"
He kissed me hard on the mouth.
I was so in shock I didn't kiss him back.
"I'm sorry." He said after the kiss.
"Why are you sorry..?" I asked.
"You didn't kiss me back." He answered.
"Sorry, you kind of surprised me." I said.
"Well, can I kiss you?" He asked.
"Just do it." I smiled as he did so.
The kiss was desperate, but it was passionate.
My mouth molded with his as his tongue wanted entrance.
I allowed it.
His hands were all over my hips, and moved lower and lower touching my ass for a second.
He grabbed it, and pulled me on to his lap.
His hands moved to the hem of my shirt.
"Okay Hayes." I laughed as I grabbed his hands and intertwined them with mine.
He kissed my hands.
"I just can't get enough of you, Juliet." He smiled. I blushed.

Hayes's POV
"It's my turn." She smiled.
"What?" I asked.
"Shut up for a second." She put a finger to my mouth to make me quiet.
She started to kiss me.
And then it started to be a make-out session.
Her hands were lost in my hair.
Her mouth moved lower to my cheek, and on to my neck.
"Juliet.." I said, running out of breath.
She stopped, smiled, and cupped her hands on my face.
"Look, I don't know what to do right now, but I'm pretty sure I want to be with you." She said.
"I've wanted you to say those words for a while now." I smiled.
Her thumbs moved in a circular movement on my cheek.
"But Hayes, how will I not know you'll do something bad? You have to promise me you'll do good. For me."
"I-I promise..." I said uncertainly.
The truth was, I didn't know if I was going to do something bad.
It's in my nature.
If I get suspended, it's not my fault.
If I smoke, it's not my fault.
If I drink, it's not my fault.
It's an addiction that I can't quit.
But I have to do this.
"Are you sure?" She said.
"Yes. I promise." I said.
"So then, I choose you, Hayes Grier." She smiled as she got off my lap, and stood in front of me.
"I'll be honored." I stood up and hugged her. She hugged me back.
"I have to go now, but I'll see you later. Okay?" She looked up at me and smiled.
"I don't want you to leave." I said as I kissed her.
"Yeah, but I have to go."
I grabbed her and lifted her off the ground.
"Hayes! Put me down!" She yelled.
I spun her around and I put her down.
"I'll miss you." I laid my forehead on hers.
"I'll miss you too." She pecked my lips as she left.

Juliet's POV
I was on my way home and I dialed Lesley. It was five o'clock.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Les? Are you on your way?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'll be there soon. Why? What's up?" She said.
"I have so much to tell you. Ask your dad for money because we're going to the Coffee Corner after you come over." I said as I reached the lobby of my apartment, and went into the elevator.
"Okay, can't wait. I'm almost there. See you soon." Lesley said as I went to my floor, to my door, and into my apartment.
"Alright. Bye!" I said as I hung up.
I went to my room and dropped my bag off.
I don't know what to tell her, but I think I know where to start.
In a few minutes, I heard a knock on the door.
"Hello?" I said as I opened it.
"Hey girl." Lesley said as she came inside.
She dropped off her backpack.
"So, what's up?" She asked.
I grabbed my bag.
"I'll tell you when we get to the Coffee Corner. Okay? Just gotta gather my thoughts. You know?" I said.
She nodded as we left.
We walked in silence, but Lesley didn't mind because she was listening to music. I decided to listen to music too, and I put on my earbuds to Cough Syrup by Young the Giant.
I figured out what I was going to tell Lesley.
Even though I was confused myself.
Are Hayes and I really dating? Is he going to take advantage of me? Is he going to be good, like he promised?
We finally made it to the coffee shop.
I took out my earbuds, and so did Lesley.
We took a seat at the booth.
"Finally, what do you want to talk to me about?" She asked.
So I told her everything.
I told her about his promise, our fight, and if we were together or not.
"And here's the thing that confuses me the most, are we really together?" I said.
"You think you guys are going to be serious?" She asked.
"I don't know. We just got together, I don't want to rush things." I said.
"Says the girl who hooked up with him." She smirked as the coffee came to our table.
It was Tuesday, and it was poetry night at the Coffee Corner.
There were many people reciting poems and a bunch of clapping.
"So basically, we're talking?" (a/n: talking, for those of you that don't know-everything but the term. Hooking up without actually dating; Less serious than an relationship)
"Sounds like it." Lesley shrugged.
A guitar was strumming while people were reciting poems.
"And now we're going to take a 5 minute break." The guitar guy said.
"I'll be right back." I told Lesley as I came over to the stage, and stood in front of the guitar guy.
"You're really good." I said.
"Thanks." He smiled.
"It's really cool, that you're playing guitar." He said.
"Thanks again. What's your name?" He asked me.
"I'm Juliet. What's your name?" I said.
"I'm Jacob. I just moved here and I needed a job so, here I am." He said.
"That's cool. Maybe I'll see you here again sometime?" I said.
"Maybe I can have your number." He smiled.
I grabbed a napkin, and a pen from my bag, and wrote down my number.
"I'll text you." Jacob said.
"I'll text you back." I said as I walked back to Lesley.
As I was walking, I got a text from an unknown number.
Unknown: Hey it's Jacob. :)
I laughed.
"Let's get another one to go, and let's get on our way." Lesley said as I agreed.
We got another one of our drinks, but to go.
As we were leaving, I bumped into someone.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry." A girl with curly hair and freckles said.
"It's fine." I smiled.
"Wait, are you Juliet?" She smiled.
"Yeah, who are you?"
"I'm Mahogany." She smiled back.
