Life Goes On

3

I wake up to my alarm clock ringing as loud as possible. I slam it onto my bed side table a few times before it finally turns off. I get up to get ready for my 11am to 5pm shift at Wendy's for the day. My mind can't seem to get off Marshall. It's now Monday and I haven't seen or heard from him since the Friday night that we met. There's so much I want to know and learn about him. When will I see him next? Will he ever call me? I wish I got his number to, but I might sound desperate if I called him first. I feel like I'm already attached to him and I can't act like that in front of him because he would probably think I'm crazy. I've never felt like this with a guy that I literally just met and barely talked to.

*After work*

5pm hits and I'm ready to clock out of here. I grab my things and start to walk home from work. I don't have a car right now and I don't want to make Deja pick me up everyday. Michigan is always nearly pitch black by 5 in the winter months, which can be very inconvenient. As I walk down the street to my apartment, I see a tall figure and they seem to have on dark baggy clothing. I sped up and the figure seems to sped up also. I feel fear consume my body. What do I do? I ask myself. I decided to make a run for it! As I start to run I feel someone grab my waist. I scream and all I hear is a man laughing.

"Marshall what are you doing!" I say as I feel like I just had a heart attack.

"Damn, did you think I was gonna murder you or something?" he says as he seems to not be able to contain his laughter.

"Why haven't you called?" I bluntly ask him.

"Called? It's only been 3 days and I been fuckin busy" he says with a slight sense of anger. I think to myself to why he just got so mad.

"Ok, your right, I'm sorry" I say.

"Damn if you missed me so much you could have just asked around" he says with a smirk.

"I didn't miss you" I say as I feel my cheeks turning crimson.

"Yeah sure... anyway so what are you doing walking alone?" He asks.

"I just got off work" I say looking into his eyes.

"Oh... so what are you doing on Friday?" He seems to shyly ask.

"I'm not sure yet, maybe just hanging out with Deja, why do you ask?" I ask with a smile.

"I don't know, just seeing if you were hanging out with your boyfriend or something" he says.

"Boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend" I confirm.

"Dope, so you can come to the hip hop shop on Friday and watch me rap" he says with hope in his eyes. I realize we are now in front of my apartment complex so it's now time for me to go.

"This is me" I say.

"So can you come or not?" He asks.

"Um I don't know I guess" I say with a smirk.

"Oh so you guess?" He says also smirking.

"I'll let you know if you ever call me" I shout out teasingly as I walk up the stairs heading to my apartment looking down at Marshall.
All he does is smile at me as I smile back. I unlock my door not looking back at Marshall and head inside.

Heyyy playas
