THE NEW GIRL.

Chapter 31

Marshall POV.

If there was an award for the biggest idiot I would certainly win it. How the fuck could I have been so clueless about the whole Kim thing.
I knew Rory hadn't believed it, I knew her so well and now I was fucking scared she was going to find out I'd been lying to her all this time.

"So is today's plan still on?" I watched as Rory looked at me confused "about you sleeping over at my house today and tomorrow helping me move my stuff to the new house" yeah, I was finally moving out of my mom's house even though I would be moving in with DeShaun, Denaun and one more guy from my job.

"Ah...yeah, okay I'll tell my mom I'll stay with Sharonda after work" She replied without much emotion.

Rory had been like that all day since my little oversight about Kim, I knew Rory hadn't believed anything I had told her but I wasn't going to accept it.

"Yo..what's wrong with you?" I asked as I brought my hands to her waist to pull her closer to my body.

"Nothing, I'm fine" she looked me in the eye and even gave me a small smile but I knew her well.

Her body was tense and she hadn't brought her hands to my body to try to pull me closer to her like she always did.

"You're going to lie to me Rory?" I said raising an eyebrow at her and she quickly let out a sigh.
I felt like a hypocrite asking her if she was going to lie to me but I was slowly convincing myself that lying to her was so that no one would take her away from me.

"I don't have anything Marshall, really" she let out a sigh again as I raised an eyebrow.

"Rory.." I mumbled in a different tone.

"Oh for god sake Marshall I don't have anything" she said to me slightly more annoyed.

"What the fuck Rory?" I frowned and grabbed her chin so she could look me in the eyes "aren't you going to tell me what's wrong with you?"

I only got a glare and silence so I walked away from her to finish putting on my shirt.

"Whatever Rory, if you want to act like you don't have anything that's fine but don't expect me to be able to figure it out if you don't tell me what the fuck is going on with you."

There was silence again and I sat on the edge of her bed to put my shoes on without seeing her until she finally decided to speak.

"It's just..it felt weird that you knew about Kim, I don't know.." she told me ducking her gaze and biting her bottom lip. "And I know I shouldn't have to get like this over something like that but when it comes to her I know how much she means to you and I feel kind of.." she got quiet searching for the word "I feel kind of insecure"

Rory's voice at the last came out in a whisper and she was still looking down giving me to understand that she was embarrassed with feeling this way.

"Hey.." I grabbed her hand to pull her towards me until she sat on my lap "I'm with you and I love you, don't ever doubt that" I murmured giving her little kisses on her cheek.
I couldn't tell her anything else because I couldn't lie even more to her face, I couldn't repeat the lie of how I knew about Kim's job but I didn't lie saying that I loved her and that she never had to doubt that.

"Will you promise me that I don't have to worry about her anymore Marshall? I know how important she was to you and you already left me once for her" she spoke to me again in that insecure tone and I felt like the worst piece of garbage in the world.
