"How about you punish me?" Romeo clung to her, saying, "As long as you forgive me, I'll do whatever you say."
Arabella's eyes lit up at his words: "Really?"
"Yep." Romeo nodded earnestly, waiting for whatever punishment she would dish out.
"Then I sentence you to two days without contacting me. I need some time alone."
She desperately needed some alone time. She had a lot of things she needed to take care of by herself.
Recently, she had been unable to get anything done because of this guy constantly clinging to her!
This was a great opportunity.
"Bella."
This punishment was too harsh for Romeo!
His heart felt as though it was being torn apart, but he still managed to plead, "Can we change the punishment?"
Arabella was speechless. "Didn't you say I could choose?"
"Not even two hours; I can't do it." Romeo looked at her honestly and sincerely and said, "How could I possibly not look for you?"
"Then for the next two days, keep your distance from me; no touching."
At least not in public.
This punishment was also a heavy blow for Romeo; he tried to negotiate, saying, "Can't you punish me in some other way? Like hiring someone to beat me up; I'll even pay for it?"
"Do you have too much time on your hands?"
