Juliet Nollan

Justin was looking at Darren like he grew another head. He was so confused that Darren to tag along.

"Blink twice if you need help." Justin said and I blinked twice.

"Let's go." Justin grabbed my hand but Darren stopped him.

"Let's just have dinner." Darren pulled me away from Justin and dragged me into the japanese that Justin picked. We got inside the private room and Darren made me sit beside .

"So.. what's the status between you two?" He asked. "Last time I checked, you were being and rude to her. I don't approve whatever you guys have." He said as he looked straight Darren and his voice were serious and cold.

"I don't need your approval." Darren said.

"You were the one who hurt her last time, do you expect me to give you an award for this?"

Justin hissed. Before Darren can answer him, the waiter greeted us. Justin ordered the food for and I took the opportunity to move beside Justin. I linked my arm around him.

"Let me take you back home tonight." Justin said and I nodded. I turned to Darren and he was happy at all.

"She's not yours." Justin hissed.

"She's not yours either." Darren said coldly.

"She chose me."

"Justin can take me home." I said and avoided his eyes.

"Justin, dude, are you here?" I turned to the door and it opened slowly.

"Who?"

"Here, come in." Justin said and the person opened the door revealing himself. I never saw him but wow, he's so handsome.

"What's his name?" I elbowed Justin.

"Dante." Justin got up and hugged him. I got up and waited for Justin to introduced him but got to sit beside Darren instead.

"I'm Juliet." I introduced myself and he turned to me.

"Hello, Juliet. I'm Dante." I shook his hand and when he pulled me into a hug, Darren pulled me .

Bastard.

"And you?" Dante turned to Darren and Darren ignored him.

"His name is Darren, Justin's friend." I said and he sat beside Justin. I turned to Justin eyeing to introduce more about Dante.

"Dante is actually my friend from college." Justin said and I nodded.

"I've never seen you before, usually Justin always introduces me to all his beautiful friends." I widely.

"He's single." Justin pointed. "She's single too." Justin added.

"I'm actually hosting a party this Saturday, do you want to come?" Dante asked and at the same Darren put his hand on my thigh squeezing it.

"Yes, that would be fun!"

"She's 20." Darren said and I turned to him glaring.

"No one will know." Dante said and I turned back to him nodding.

"I'll be there." I assured.

"Great, I'll send you the address later. I'll get your number from Justin." After that the food came we talked more about each other. Dante was surprised to know that I'm Wesley's sister.

Dante knew Wesley too but never got close because they never had the chance to. They're both but hanging out with Dante is fun. He's carefree and always have his ways to have fun.

For the rest of the conversation, Darren was silent. He kept eating and squeezing my thigh now and then. I excused myself to the toilet because he's pretty annoying.

After using the toilet, I walked back but got dragged into the janitor's room.

"What the?!" I turned to Darren disbelief.

"What exactly your plan?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked and he pinned me to the wall and leaned his face to mine. His lips touched mine and I almost lose control to kiss him. He trailed his hand up to my upper and I locked my eyes with his.

"You're not going to that party."

"Try me." I smirked.

"Very well, if this is the card that you're playing." He said and with that he opened the door. He me to go first and I looked at him suspiciously. I walked back to the room.

"We're leaving." Darren said as he wrapped his arm around my waist tightly.

"What?!"

"We have somewhere to be, I'll drop her. It was nice meeting you, Dante, but we will not be each other again, so does Juliet. Good nigh." Darren said and pulled me out from the .

"I hate you."

"And I hate you more.."
