After school, Acrina took Marcelo to her house to treat his bruised lips. They were both in her room, sitting on her bed.
"I'm sorry sunshine. I never intended for you to get in a fight with Elliot." Acrina said as she dabbed the wet wool on his lower lip.
"You know. I'm actually happy I got into that fight because at least you got to clean my wounds." Marcelo said and Acrina slapped his arm. "Ouch!"
"You are hurt and you're still joking around." Acrina said and closed the first aid kit.
"All done?" He asked.
"Hmm." Acrina replied.
"Okay now I am going off to sleep." Marcelo said and lay on the bed.
"You jerk! Get your dirty shoes off my bed!" Acrina yelled and pushed him down the bed.
"Ahh! Is this how you plan on paralyzing your future husband?" Marcelo asked and played dead on the floor.
"You had better go home before I not only paralyze you but also kill you." Acrina said and tried to pull him up but he was to strong for her. He lay on his back and pulled her on top of him.
"You sure know how to use every opportunity you get don't you?" Acrina asked narrowing her eyes.
"What can I do when I can't resist the devil?" Marcelo said smiling.
Just then Mrs Livbelle and Annalise came inside the room suddenly.
"Ha. I guess we'll come some other time." Mrs Livbelle said and turned to the door.
"Someone seems busy." Annalise said that made her mother hush her and pull her out of the room.
"Wrong call." Acrina said and stood up so did Marcelo.
"Mom hold on." Acrina said and ran out to her mom.
"I just wanted to give Marcelo this ointment for his wound." Mrs Livbelle said and handed her a little container.
"Mom that's not what you think it is okay?" Acrina said.
"What do you think I think it is?" Mrs Livbelle asked.
"Anyway nevermind. I'll give this to Marcelo." Acrina said and went back upstairs.
After applying the ointment, it was time for Marcelo to go.
"Sunshine." Acrina called.
"Yes my sunlight." Marcelo replied. They were both standing outside Acrina's gate waiting for a taxi to come.
"Thank you." Acrina said.
"What for?" Marcelo asked.
"For keeping me happy. I'll never regret this relationship." She said and stretched her toes to kiss him on his cheek.
Marcelo smiled and said. "Apart from been my girlfriend, you are also my best friend and it's what any best friend will do."
