(Anthari Fanfiction) Fade

Chapter 4

{ A/N: I know it took me forever to update and I'm really sorry if this happens but I will try my very best to keep it updated as quick as I can! Also, I just wanted to clarify, in my story only Anthony and Mari were ever in a relationship and please if you don't like Anthari keep your comments to yourself :) }

"I'd better head home," Anthony says, breaking his gaze and looking at his watch. "I wanna be wide awake for tomorrow's game bang."

"Yeah," I agree, handing Anthony his dark green hoodie. "See you tomorrow."

"Uh Mari?" Anthony asks me, looking concerned.

"Yeah?" I respond, putting my hand on top of his. "What is it?"

"What are we going to about this," he says motioning to me, then himself. "Can they know about us, or should we keep it a secret? I don't want to keep it from them, but I feel like it'd be for the better."

"Yeah, I agree. I love the guys and I don't think they'd get jealous, I just think this may make them uncomfortable. Or it'd at least make things about one hundred times awkwarder." I respond.

"Oh trust me," Anthony scoffs, "they'd get jealous."

"What do you mean? I couldn't imagine any of the guys like that. They all seem so content and nerdy." I respond, laughing to myself.

"Well, consider I'm a guy and I spend time with all of the other guys, I can tell you, that's all an act. Josh fawns over you all the time and Wes as well. And it seems, Matt may have developed a little crush on you," Anthony laughs.

"Matt?" I question. "You don't mean Matthew Sohinki, one of my best friends Matthew Sohinki, correct?"

"Oh yeah," Anthony says. "Definitely, that guy. He is always talking about how talented and brave you are. He also won't stop commenting on your beauty and it all honestly gets annoying."

"Excuse me?" I say jokingly.

"No wait! Your appearance isn't annoying, I love your face. That sounded really strange but you know what I mean." Anthony says giggling and rolling his eyes.

"Of course boyfriend," I say catching him off guard. "See you tomorrow."

He jogs out the front door and down the burgundy carpet of the hallway, sprinting once he got out of the apartment. "Bye Mari Taco-hashi!" he calls to me halfway down the hallway. He then turns around and yells "It had to be said at least once!" He continues down the hallway and almost runs into a grumpy old man. He scolds him and Anthony pats him on the back apologizing with the man just murmuring words to himself. I can't help but giggle.

I walk back inside my apartment and plug in my iPhone to the outlet next to my bed. I then climb in and fall asleep, with thoughts of Anthony spiraling around my head.

{ sorry it's so short, I'll try to make them longer }
