Chapter 2 - chapter 2 lovely dinner

Juliet couldn't stay in place. She would pull at her dress, play with her hair and mess with her necklace waiting for Robert and the two guests (she was never good at staying still like she was) "Juliet stop it you'll mess up your outfit" Rachel said as she looked at her daughter, her daughter, in turn, sighed as she stopped. Soon a car pulled into the spot next to the girls and out came Robert. A man who was a bit round and had a scruffy beard "Hi Rachel it's good to see you again" he said as he gave Rachel a little kiss, Juliet who felt a little awkward tried to hide the only way she knew how to hide in her hoodie. Robert found it funny and with a chuckle bent down to her height. "Hi, you must be Juliet. I'm Robert if you didn't already know your mother told me a lot about you, it's very nice to meet you." He said with a smile and a grumbly voice, Juliet smiled and put her hand out for a handshake. She didnt expect to be pulled into a hug by the giant teddybear. "sorry kiddo but I'm a hugger ahahaha." said Robert, Juliet was placed on the ground, she looked at the car to see two kids a little older than her "so are they the mystery guests Robert?" said Rachel as she put her hands on her daughters' shoulders to steady her, Robert then replied "yep these are my awesome kiddos my son Jason and my daughter Ginger" they both said hello. They all went inside the restaurant, Robert and Rachel were trying to find the reservation while the kids were to mingle Juliet who wasn't much of a social butterfly tried to hide in the corner on her phone texting Medusa, That didn't last long "so... what's up with the hair?" Ginger asked referring to Juliet's dyed hair"And those piercings too! you look like a cyborg or a pirate." Jason chimed in Juliet, just rolled her eyes and said: "eff off." Rachel, who turned around at the time, heard her daughter but not the other two and scolded her "Juliet! please don't swear at them they haven't done anything to you!" Juliet grumbled but tried to listen to her mother and behave. The dinner was going well they would all joke, laugh and try to get to know each other, Ginger and Jason decided to make Juliet ark up again but failed. Multiple times since she didn't want to ruin her mother's chance with Robert and his family the night soon came to a close. Rachel and Robert gave each other one last kiss before driving home, on the ride home Juliet and Rachel were quiet until Rachel spoke: "So did you have fun sweetie?" Juliet looked at her mother in the rearview mirror "it was ok, Robert was nice..." the rest of the ride was quiet. When they got inside, Juliet shuffled into her room. Captain was asleep, Juliet changed back into her pyjama's, took off her makeup. She sighed and lied down on her bed. She rubbed her shins that were now purple from all the kicks she got from the others from under the table. She smelt like pasta sauce from Ginger dropping her food on her, Juliet was about to go to sleep when her mother screamed, Juliet Rushed down the hall to her mother's room to see she was only on the phone, Juliet hid behind the door to hear what was going on "oh my god Robert yes!... I'll have to talk to Juliet's school... ok I'll see in the morning... love you... bye" hearing the conversation she was confused why talk to her school did she find out she was late again, or was it something else. Juliet wandered back to her room, Captain right behind her, she lied down again and finally fell asleep but with an uneasy feeling in her stomach.
