Loving Marcus [Ongoing...]

Chapter 3

............

"Marcus can you come over tonight? My parents are not at home, maybe we can watch a movie or something."

I try to get Bianca's hands away from my arm gently. To be honest I would have shoved her away if she was anyone else.

"Are we also invited?" Rickie asks while fist bumping Linda. They both laugh at my expense. I will get them back for this.

"Or is this special invitation only extended to Marcus?" he raises an eyebrow at her, waiting for a response.

"Yes-No. I mean I just want to hangout that's all." Bianca tries to defend herself but it's futile really.

"Yeah right, just hanging out." Linda mocks knowingly.

They laugh as Bianca pretends to be oblivious to what they were insinuating.

I successfully manage to unhook myself from her and walk away. In my haste to escape Bianca I end up walking straight into Jacob Kwambi.

Here we go.

"Watch were you are going freak! Did you lose your map or something?"

"Wow relax, I'm pretty sure he didn't mean to run into you Jacob." Linda quickly walks over and stands between us, giving me her back protectively.

I almost laugh at this. She is so tiny compared to the both of us, I was half afraid he would push her aside anytime soon and hurt her.

I didn't want her to get hurt because of me so I pull her to my side carefully.

Seeing this Jacob snorts. He must have read my mind and realized what I was doing.

"Are you supposed to be his bodyguard or what Ndemba. What about you King, why do you hide behind women like some Sissy?" he taunts.

"I don't hide behind anyone Jacob. I don't need to. For a second there I was actually going to apologise for all this but now I don't feel like it." I say gritting my teeth so painfully hard I'm surprised when they don't crack.

"You cocky son of a..." he stops, his eyes lending on something behind me. He seems distracted for some reason.

I saw how his eyes lit up with excitement.

This is not good.

"Would you look at that. If it isn't my very own queen. Do you miss me babe?" he smiles wickedly.

I didn't have to turn around to know who he was talking about.

Her perfume hit me before she came into view. The smell of vanilla mixed with her natural scent was exhilarating. I inhale it deeply. Letting it hang around me like a tight leather glove.

For a moment I forget where I am, then I come to my senses and realize what I was busy doing and it pisses me off.

Get a hold of yourself Marcus. This is neither the time nor place to lose it.

Especially not because of her...

"What are you doing here?" Bianca asks with the unmistakable hatred in her voice.

They have never really seen eye to eye. They tolerated each other for a while but things got worse between them over the years for some reason.

"The last time I checked this was a school and I have every right to be here." Veronica turns towards her impatiently.

"Don't you get it. No one actually wants you here slut! How about you run along and get lost while you are at it."

"Unfortunately I neither need your permission nor anyone else's to be here Bianca."
