Chapter 14 - Misunderstandings Can be Yellow

I ran to Robert as fast as humanly possible. He just stood there with sad eyes. I searched him up and down but the only thing I found was a bloody nose. "What happened? Are you okay? Where is Julia?" I asked worried." Ed walked to us with a towel, and Robert took off his blood covered shirt and wiped down his face. "I ruined everything. She is going to think I am an idiot now." he said. "Hold it brother tell me everything that happened." I said in a comforting voice. Tears welled up in his eyes as he began to speak." It started of great. I was walking her home, and we were talking, and laughing. Your horrible plan seemed to be working. When we finally got to her door, we both leaned in for a kiss. Rather than a romantic kiss under the stars, we bumped our forheads. I pulled back to apologize, but rather than looking embarrassed, she was laughing. She is so beautiful and adorable when she laughs, that I got a nose bleed. It was the most embarrassing thing that had ever happened to me. I know that Julia hates blood, so I ran away as fast as possible. Now I am here" he said sadly. I wanted to be comforting, but it was too funny. Both Ed and I began laughing. This made Robert angry. "It's not funny. I ruined everything!" he yelled still embarrassed and sad. Ed continued to laugh, while I held in my laughter to explain. "Robert, you think she is so beautiful, that you got a bloody nose. She isn't mad at you. She probably still thinks you are cute or something for some reason. I thought the bloody nose thing, due to attraction was only in Manga and comics, and she is probably flattered that you proved that wrong for her. Oh, and bloody noses don't usually scare people." I explained. I began to push him out the still opened door. "Now go back to her house, explain yourself, and be happy. If you get another bloody nose chances are she will try to treat you, and will get real close." I finally managed to shove him out the door. "Now the deadbolt on this door will be locked for at least an hour so you can't run your crazy ass back in here until you see Julia." I said. Then I slammed the door, and locked it. I turned to Ed who had stopped laughing, but still had tears in his eyes. "I don't know what was funnier, his stupidity, or his awkwardness. Why would poor Julia fall for him?" Ed asked. I felt almost offended. That was my big brother he was mocking, and mocking him was my job only. "Because he is kind, strong, and has a goofy personality. Julia admires all his strengths, and she also finds his faults endearing." I said defensively. "Okay, eldest daughter I get it. I am not allowed to make fun of your brother." he understood where I was coming from. I hugged him and said, "I would never make fun of Olive, but you could if you wanted to, it is the same with me and Robert." I yawned. "I am going to bed I will see you in the morning." I yawned again. "Okay, I will wait an hour to unlock the deadbolt." he said. I walked up the stairs, and settled in my bed. Tomorrow I didn't have to go to work at the studio, but I knew I would go to Julia's house to hear all of today's gossip, and would call Sin and relay everything.

I woke up in the morning, to make breakfast, and prepare Olive for school. I put cinnemon rolls in the oven, and I woke up Olive. "Rise and shine sis, Monday means school." she groaned but began to wake up. I went back to the kitchen and I cut up strawberries and made orange juice. I took the cinnamon rolls out of the oven and put them on plates for everyone. I then prepared Olive's lunch for school. I went back up stairs. Olive was brushing her hair. I picked out an outfit for her, and layed it out on her bed. "Okay kiddo head down for breakfast." I said. I walked down with her to the table. Ed was already sitting down, and reading the news paper. I noticed one of the plates was empty, but Robert was nowhere in sight. "Ed where is Robert?" I asked. "Oh he poured all of his food in a bag and left saying he was late for work." Ed explained. I sat down and quickly ate my breakfast. When Olive finished her meal, I sent her to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. I waited upstairs to style her hair. She came up stairs, put on her outfit, and sat in front of me. I gave her two buns on her head with a ribbon in each. We then grabbed her backpack and lunch box. We took a cab to the bus station, and I waved goodbye as Olive drove away.

Now that tedious nanny work was done; I could get to Julia's house and interrogate. I haled a cab and found my way to Julia's apartment. I came in without knocking. I found Julia pacing back and forth until she saw me. "Violet! You know Robert! What happened last night?!", she yelled grabbing my shoulders. "What do you mean?" I asked "Well last night when he walked me home, we almost kissed..." she blushed at that statement. "but instead we butted our foreheads on accident. I thought it was silly, so I laughed. Then Robert suddenly had a bloody nose." She grabbed me again. "Is he okay? Did I hit his nose and not his forehead? Did he go to the hospital?" She was panicking much like Robert had last night. I laughed hard, but it didn't last long as I saw tears streaming down her face. "I am sorry for laughing, but you sound just like Robert did last night." I said. She looked confused. "He told me that your face while you laughed was so beautiful and adorable when you laughed, that it gave him a bloody nose." I explained. "I thought that only happened in Mangas." she said. "That's what I thought too. Robert proved it wrong though." I continued, "He thought you would faint if you saw blood, so he ran off without saying anything." She began to giggle, "He is so cute" she said, "I thought he was seriously hurt, or that he didn't like my laugh and wanted to get away from me." she said. "Well if you were worried about that, then Robert didn't come back here and explain himself when I told him to." Julia looked a little confused. "Which means chances are next time you see him Julia, he will be a bit banged up." I said. "Oh don't hurt him." she pleaded, but it was to no avail. "This is family business, and when Robert disobeys me, to this extent, a lesson must be learned." I said. I tried to look scary. Being colorless was all that it would usually take, but my friends and family were used to me now. After I left Julia's home, I went back home to tell Sin everything. We both laughed hard over the phone. "When Robert gets home, I will explain to him what happened, then I will teach him a lesson." I told Sin. "Ooh you are practically gold, I would not want to be on your bad side." said Sin. "Oh don't worry we have beat the tar out of eachother too many times to count." I said as though it was normal. "He hits girls?!" Sin said loudly over the phone" I laughed "No no, he only fights me. He was my biggest bully, before he was my brother. I know more martial arts than he will ever know, and we are just about evenly matched in strength." I explained "It is a fair fight, I am no damsel in distress." I said flexing my muscles, even though he couldn't see them. "Only you would take on a full grown golden man, and call it a fair fight." I heard Sin say. "Well his shift is almost over, so I am going to go wait in his bedroom." I finished talking to Sin and we hung up. I could hear the door open and close I could hear quick footsteps up the floor, I knew he would try to avoid me. Then he walked into his room, where I was waiting. "Well well well, I learned someone didn't go back to Julia's last night. Are you ready to learn what happens when you don't listen to me?" I spoke in a sinister voice. Robert gulped loudly, then bolted out the door. I chased after him "You can run all you like, but I am faster." Soon he would run out of stamina, and I would show him what it meant to go against my plans.
