I have run out of breath now, so I’ve returned.
She strummed her fingers on top of the coffee table for a full ten minutes whilst she waited patiently for his reply. No reply came. She came to the sudden conclusion that this was just some faceless prick having a laugh at her expense. Lesson learnt, Myla.

I’d like to say it’s been nice talking to you, but frankly, this has all been a little weird.
I’m certain
this Capulet will find her real Montague. You are probably a fat, old, balding man jerking off to my replies.
Sayonara, Dick Head.
Laughing to herself at the amusement Romeo had given her for a few hours, she stood up and moved around the house switching off lights, and locking doors before heading upstairs to brush her teeth and climb into bed. Placing her cell phone on charge next to the bed, she settled down and let out a contended sigh as she closed her eyes. She heard her cell vibrate next to the bed causing the bright backlight to light up the bedroom, like a beacon. Groaning she grabbed it from the bedside table and squinted at the bright screen. It was an e-mail.

I can assure you that I’m not old, fat, or balding.
Jerking off?? Shit, Juliet that’s some imagination you have.
Sweet dreams, Angry Bird.

Whatever you say!
Sweet dreams, freak.
Placing the cell back on the nightstand, she silently prayed that one of the other responders contacted her soon. She happily was relieved this ‘Romeo’ guy wasn’t up for being her fake fiancé.
CHAPTER FIVE
Jogging on the spot in Hyde park, Kai waited for a breathless Brody to catch up with him. “I …can’t…do…this.” Brody gasped coming level with Kai. He doubled over, resting his palms on his knees.
“Of course, you can, Brody. We’ve only been jogging for six minutes.”
“I’m…dying!” He gasped, his deep breaths turned into ragged grunts.
Laughing, Kai slapped him on the back. “Dude, you want to stop for the day? Be my guest, but I intend to finish my morning workout.”
