Lover, fifth one after Mike (5)

I believe the answer is:

romeo

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'lover' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fifth one after mike' is the second definition.
(mike november oscar papa quebec romeo)

(Other definitions for romeo that I've seen before include "Dashing lover" , "his tragedy one was late?" , "Lover of Juliet" , "Literary lover" , "He loved" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
