Five

Chloe skipped happily to her room and called up Hugo. When he picked up, she heard him yawning.
  "Don't tell me that you're already sleeping?" she asked feigning being surprised. After all, she knew her boyfriend. Sometimes, she feels she disturbs him because he works all day.
What makes her proud is that he never complains, that's why she does anything to pay for her inconvenience.
  "I just fell asleep. What's up?" Hugo asked.
   "I saw those two hugging. Surprised, right?" she smiled
.
  "You mean Juliet and Luke?" he sounded surprised and the sleep escaped. "Weren't they fighting earlier?"
  "Of course. Who knows what happened? At least, it's an achievement, even if that was mysterious ." Chloe stated and added, "I'll be taking Juliet shopping tomorrow. Since I came back for this holiday, I haven't gone to the mall".
  "Ok, do you want me to go with you?" Hugo asked.
  "No need. You just rest. Juliet will be with me." she hurriedly refused.
  "Oh...okay. sleep tight, " he said and she hung up.
   ......................
  "You're really going to help me find my mother?" Juliet asked looking at Luke puzzled.
  "Eh......" Luke just realized that he's misspoken.
  Juliet's expression changed immediately as she realized the person she was talking to.
  "I knew you were lying.  How dare you play with my emotions. You think this is a joke. You think you can jest all the time?" she said angrily.
  "Hey, you were the one who was crying like a child not to mention, you even took the initiative to embrace me. And now you're bickering nonstop. Is that how to thank my good intentions " Luke rebuked.
  "You.......you, this is utter bullying. Who needs your help? Leave my room! How did you even get in the first place? " she said and pushed him outside the room not forgetting to slam the door.
  "You're on your own. Hmmph. " Luke hesitated before going back to his room with complicated.
  Juliet buried her face in the pillow until she fell asleep.
...............
  The next morning, Chloe knocked on Juliet's room for a while before she answered. She entered the room and saw Juliet sitting on the bed with a dejected countenance. Her eyes were a little bit swollen, looks like she's been crying for a while.
  Chloe quickly sat down close to her and grabbed her hand.
  "Juliet what happened, were you crying?" she asked worryingly.
  "No, I wasn't." Juliet quickly replied.
  "Don't joke around with me. Is it Luke? If it's that blockhead, just tell me, and I'll deal with him for you.", Chloe said angrily getting ready to rush out but Juliet held her hand.
  "I'm not lying here okay? In fact, I'm perfectly fine. Okay? " Juliet said and smiled sweetly.
  "Are you sure?" Chloe still asked.
  "I'm sure," Juliet assured.
  "Okay. I'm going out shopping today. Why don't you come with me." after Juliet nodded, Chloe continued  "why don't you go take a bath and I'll choose a dress for you."
Juliet stood up and entered the bathroom.
Chloe struck her fist and mumbled, "Brother oh brother. It seems like you're getting muddled headed".
  She no longer bothered with that and opened Juliet's locker. But when she did that, she was still as surprised as the first time.
  Whether it was a skirt or top, trousers or gown, everything was black and white.
  "Don't tell me they were born on the same day. Isn't this how that brother of mine has his closet? " Chloe muttered in disbelief.
  She shook her head and brought out a white short gown and a pair of dark loafers.
  Juliet came out, at least she was looking refreshed and refined now.
  "I'll let you get ready. Let's meet at the dining table. After breakfast, we'll go to the mall," Chloe smiled and left the room.
  Juliet wore the dress and sat down by the mirror. She looked at herself in the mirror as she made her hair. She sighed and stood up. Picking up her purse, she brought her hair to one side and walked out of the room.
  Opening the door, she was met with Luke's gaze. She ignored him and walked out.
  Luke was in a daze looking at Juliet's back. He put his hands in his pocket and walked down to eat too.
  Chloe welcomed Juliet to the dining table and they gisted and smiled as they ate. Juliet was bewildered as Luke didn't come down for a while. She saw him coming out of his room.
  Unknown to her, he was on the stairs staring at her laughing in a carefree manner.
  'Is this the same person that was crying yesterday? What I did was wrong, I should just help her look for her mother, but......you damn razor sharped tongue," he was first in a daze before concluding. Since he said something, he should uphold it.
  Chloe was glad that Juliet was finally smiling. But suddenly, the smile on Juliet's face vanished. Seeing this, she turned around and Luke walked over. She guessed right, this blockhead is here.
  "Brother good morning." she smiled.
  "Sister, how are you? You are all decked up. Where are you going?" Luke asked seeing that both Juliet and Chloe were dressed up.
  "We're going shopping. I would have loved to go with you, but I think I should hang out with Juliet ." Chloe replied.
  "Ok have fun." he sat down and glance at Juliet who was ignoring him.
  "Ehem. Brother, won't you greet Juliet at least." Chloe quickly said noticing the situation.
  "I'm older than her, so she should greet me first." Luke smiled mischievously.
  "You know age is not everything. Some people grow stupid with age." Juliet threw at him.
  He got tensed up but managed to calm down. "What do you mean by that?"
  Juliet noticed that he was trying to make her lose control of her patience first, so she ignored him and said to Chloe, "Let's go. I'm full already."
  Chloe smiled bitterly and just agreed before the gun bullet get shot.
  "Brother, drive us to the mall okay?" Chloe requested.
  Luke dropped his food and stood up. He walked passed them and entered his car. Juliet just remembered that the only car in the house was Luke's, currently.
  'I think I should sell my car and buy a new one." she thought.
Chloe rushed to open the front seat and gestured at Juliet to enter.
  Juliet's eyes widened as she tried to refuse with her eyes but Chloe just rolled her eyes and pushed her gently into the car, not forgetting to quickly lock the door. She happily entered the back seat and stared at the two people ignoring each other in the front seat.
  Juliet gazed through the window, while luke drove them to the mall. They came out of the  car and Chloe asked him,
"Are you coming with us, brother?"
  "No," he left this simple answer and added, "I'll wait here for you. You better not take time."
"Hmmph. Juliet Let's go." Chloe held Juliet's wrist and they walked into the mall.
Chloe brought Juliet directly to the shopping mall and started showing her different clothes not forgetting to pick color ones. Juliet did try to refuse but with Chloe's constant pestering, she had to pick some. As Chloe wasn't someone easy to refuse.
Chloe had her try some clothes on before they kept looking around.
  Juliet seemed to notice that Chloe purposely came shopping for her alone and not to be left out started choosing some clothes for her.
  They spent two hours before coming out. As expected, Luke was on his phone playing games, he didn't seem bored at all. Chloe collected the shop bags and kept them in the boot and entered the car. Juliet had no choice but to enter the front seat.
  Luke looked at the two of them curiously and said, "Did you buy the whole mall?"
  "What does that have to do with you," Juliet said to him.
   "What? Don't tell me you're changing your wardrobe," he said.
"Really what does that have to do with you? If you're going just go." Juliet was getting impatient.
  Luke shook his head and drove away. Chloe didn't bother to interfere in a 'grown-up' fight unless something get amiss.
