Twisted love (Slow updates)

Chapter 3 Let Loose

It's past midnight and Marcus still hasn't called me. I sit up in bed and grab my phone to make sure I didn't miss a text or call. Nothing. He should have landed five hours ago. I can't help but worry. Something is not right. I dial his number and wait.

"Hello?" The sound of his voice relaxes me instantaneously. Then I remember he forgot to call. "Hey, weren't you suppose to call me when you landed bub?" I say.

"Sorry babe, the flight was draining and my phone died and when I made it to my room I just crashed."

Well, I guess I should have asked how he was before being an ass. Simple reason why he didn't call and of course I over reacted. I take a deep breath.

"I'm sorry. I hope everything is ok now. Did I wake you?"

"No angel, you didn't. I was up to take a shower."

"Isn't it kind of late Marcus?" Something feels odd. And why do I hear movement? "Were you tossing or turning or something? I thought you were getting ready to shower?" I say trying to hide my confusion.

"Yeah, I am babe. Just grabbing my clothes from my suitcase. Let me call you back tomorrow morning, ok? I love you Al. Good night baby."

Woah, what? That was not the sound of a suitcase. It sounded like a damn bed. What's going on? "Ok, that's fine. Love you t..." And before I can say anything else the line goes out. Son of a bitch. He never stays up late. He never showers late. He always showers at exactly ten. And I know for a certain that was not the sound of a fucking suitcase. I'm tired. I'm probably hearing shit. My mind is just messing with me. Marcus loves me. He's had a long trip. He'll call me tomorrow. And with the thought of Marcus being ok I dose off.

I wake up at seven with a massive headache.

Did I talk to Marcus last night or was that a dream? I pick up my phone and look at my history and see I did. So then my dream was just a dream. All I kept seeing was he with another girl. I don't know why but that's all I saw. And I hated it.

It felt so real. Seeing her on top of him broke me in ways I don't think could ever be fixed if it truly did happen. His satisfaction and pleasure ripped me apart. And the worst part was I never experienced that with him. But it was just a dream and my reality is only slightly fractured at the moment.

I sigh and realize I need to get ready for class today. I hate Mondays but today should be a relaxing day at school. I have no exams and only two classes both of which don't require attendance but I love school so I always go.

I decided to make myself feel better by dressing in a cute denim button up with some high waisted black skinny pants. I love these pants! I curl my hair and put on my simple everyday look and grab my bag and phone. When I checked the clock it was nine. Still no sign of Marcus. He's probably just sleeping still.

But then I remembered today is his first day on the job. And his shift starts at nine today because he gets to set up his office. Is he that busy again? Last night he seemed so rushed and there was no reason to be and today he's so busy he can't call me like he promised?

I walk out the door and to my car and set the Bluetooth on my phone on so I can call Sarah. I hope she picks up.

"Hello?"

"Sarah! Marcus is lying about something. I don't know what's going on with him but he never called me last night like he said he would and then I heard ruffling movements and he said it was his suit case and I know it wasn't and then he said he'd call me tomorrow in the morning but he hasn't and I know he starts today at nine!" I take in a deep breath because I said that so super fast I felt like my head was going to explode if I didn't tell someone.
