She's Romeo Alright!

Chapter Twenty-Seven

*GAGE’S POV*

I hid myself behind the big plant near the counter, eyeing the two lovebirds in a rather awkward atmosphere.

“Excuse me, boy. What are you doing?” A voice asked.

“Hiding behind a plant which is none of your business, old lady, now go away.” I shooed her off.

“But it’s my store so it’s MY BUSINESS!” Her nameplate read ‘HALIMA’.

“Yeah, right and I suppose I’m the mayor of this town!” I was being sarcastic now.

When I looked back to their table, Hunter was already naked… what the hell just happened?!

I saw him grab Brooke’s hand, ready to get out of here when it suddenly hit me. A slight pain in my chest. Heart burn?

Just then, a guy with striking white hair appeared by the entrance door. Jagger.

He kept looking at Brooke and then after a few minutes passed, I guess he just finally decided to walk past them. Some fool you are Jagger, some fool you are…

I wonder if my plan’s working…

*BROOKE’S POV*

I frantically looked at the time on my cell phone which read 8:30… 30 minutes left, now how do I get rid of this boy?! Tick tock.

“Hey, um, I heard about the mini school festival that’s happening tonight at Kennedy High, want to check it out?” I suggested out of the blue.

“But I think going to a hotel is better…” He gave it a lot of careful thought.              

“Yeah, but we can also do IT in your dorm room right after the show.” What the hell is my mouth doing?!

“I suppose we could since my roommate is locked up in there but only if you’d like to do a threesome.” He winked naughtily at me.

HUH? We just met remember? What a man-w***e.

“Sure. Whatever. Let’s go!” I grabbed his hand then started sprinting towards the direction of the school, dragging him behind me.

“Hey, so you and your friend aren’t gay?” I paused in my tracks to clarify this one thing.

“Nope.” He flashed me a perfect smile.

*HUNTER’S POV*

When Brooklyn and I arrived at the auditorium, we got separated by the stupid crowd!

WHERE THE HELL IS MY DESTINED MATE?!

She promised that she’d do a threesome with me and Xavier but I was just lying about the Xavier part because I was planning to kick him out of the room later on right from the start.

I just want her all to myself! And yes, I’m greedy!

“Next up, is… BROOKE ADAMS!” I heard the announcer say on stage.

Adams? This has got to be interesting…

The curtains came up, revealing Brooke with a messed up hairstyle which made him look like a rock star with his red electric guitar and all…

*IT’S MY LIFE INTRO PLAYS*

Wow, the kid has some awesomely sick talent! I got engrossed already at the intro part. I didn’t know he can play…

The next thing you know, the crowd went wild, singing along at the chorus part, “IT’S MY LIFE! IT’S NOW OR NEVER! I JUST WANNA LIVE FOREVER!” Definitely a Bon Jovi classic!

After the performance ended, the crowd roared, “ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE!”

“Okay, this one’s for those who are in love out there…” Brooke spoke through the microphone then he started playing ‘LOVE SONG’ by 311.

‘Whenever I’m alone with you… you make me feel like I am home again…’ He started singing.

Everyone started swaying to the rhythm of Brooke’s amazing electric guitar skills along with his soothing voice.

By this time, I notice what he was wearing… a plain white polo shirt with a black tie, black jeans and a pair of black converse sneakers… wait, what?

‘However far away, I will always love you… However long I stay, I will always love you… Whatever words I say, I will always love you, I will always love you… *GUITAR INTERLUDE*

Familiar. Now that gave me a lot to think about…

“And the winner is…”

“ADAMS! ADAMS! ADAMS!”

“Well, there you go!” The announcer boomed and the crowd cheered.

“Okay, now strip!” Will suddenly appeared beside Brooke onstage.

*BROOKE’S POV*

Seriously? Is that his favorite word, ever?

“But I won…” I tried to reason out on the microphone.

“Yeah, but there’s a twist and now the winner gets the privilege to strip right in front of the audience! Yay.” I can’t believe he changed the consequences at the very last minute! Jerk.

“STRIP! STRIP!” He started cheering and then the stupid crowd just had to follow him, “STRIP! STRIP! STRIP!” I gulped down hard then started loosening my tie.

Oh well… there’s only one thing left to do in this kind of situation.

I was about to unbutton the very first button of my polo shirt when suddenly… THE LIGHTS WENT OUT.

I felt myself being grabbed by someone all the way to the backstage, I think.

“Hi, Brooke!” I heard someone say.

I readjusted my eyes to the darkness around me. “Art?” “Yours truly.”

“You’re the one who saved me from public humiliation?” Just wanted to ask.

“Uh, what are you talking about?” Art was just as clueless. Huh?

“Brooke Adams, you better explain yourself to me! Or at least explain what this suspicious cousin of yours is saying. Great performance by the way!” Prince hugged me out of nowhere.

“What was he saying?” I eyed Art.

“You see, we were arguing about you and your fiancé and stuff, accidentally knocking off the light switch in the process.” Prince explained.

“Yeah, he just wouldn’t believe me and speaking of the devil, I see that you’re totally getting along well with him, huh Brooke?” Art smirked.

WHO?
