The next morning I woke up still laying on Marcus's chest and He still had his arm wrapped around me. I laid there for a second tracing the scars he had all over his chest lightly, especially one that was an X right above his heart. I laid there, listening to his heart beat, and noticing how our breathing was almost alike. It was Saturday so we didn't have class but I still needed to get ready. As slowly as I possibly could I tried to get up to get ready for the day but ended up waking him up. "where you going?" He said in a groggy voice that melted me, and pulled me back down to his chest. "I need to get ready" I said through small laughs, he shook his head and closed his eyes again "no we need to sleep" I scoffed playfully and he held me tighter giving me a small peck on my temple.
I hated it. I hated it not because it was affection but because I loved it. It was well known I didn't do love or dating anymore but this, I didn't mind. I didn't mind that he wanted to hold me, or kiss my forehead or sleep in longer with me.
I laid back in bed for a while longer still going over his scars with the tips of my fingers, this seemed to be my new favorite thing to do "did you get all these from the boys home?" I asked looking up at him "yea.." he said looking away, I dragged my fingers down one then gave it a slow kiss "I like them" I said with a smile which he returned. "what was I like last night, before I woke up in your bed" he said twirling a piece of my hair in his finger "well you kept saying I smelled good...and sniffing me" he put a hand over his face "I'm sorry" he said through laughs "it's fine" I said as I continued to trace his scars. "I thought it was cute" he looked down at me with a smile then went back to playing with the ends of my hair.
After laying in bed for an hour or so I finally sat up "ok I actually need to get ready" I said with a laugh, he groaned dramatically then pulled off the covers. I grabbed a towel from my closet then went to take a shower. My room was one of the very few that had a shower in the dorm so I didn't have to go to the locker rooms, oh the things money can do. I took a quick hot shower then got out. I wrapped the towel around my body and walked out into my room. When I walked out Marcus was laid on my bed looking at my sketches "what do you think you're doing?" I said crossing my arms but still trying to hold my towel. he sat up "uhmm nothing" he gave an innocent smile that made me crack one as well. I didn't actually care he was looking at them I thought it was nice someone wanted to see them.
I sat on the bed next to him still in the towel "you're really good" he said with a smile and looking down at me "thank you, I try" he laughed a bit "I have one for you, but it's not done since we...got distracted" I grabbed the book and he laughed "right, that was fun, we should get distracted more often" he smirked while I rolled my eyes and continued to flip through the pages. When I found the page it only had his nose and up done "here" I gave back the book, his eyes widened then a smile grew on his face "you were drawing me sleep?" he said with a smirk "you looked really peaceful, so I figured why not, you can have it when it's done if you want" he smiled then kissed my cheek "I would love to have it " he said with the same cheeky smile "ok I'm going to change" I said getting off the bed "you don't have to, but I guess" He playfully winked at me, I rolled my eyes and laughed.
