[His POV]

What the fuck WAS THAT??

Why did I do that???

What if she's weirded out now??

Oh my god I am so dumb.

'Have fun making my dinner'????? 'Love you'??????

I might as well kiss her ass.

'...'

NOT IN A LITERAL SENSE.

But I mean-

Fuck me. And fuck my brain for not being able to form coherent conversations with Marley around.

I internally groan to myself as I walk over to my PC. I put on my headphones and unmute the mic in the VC.

"Ok- I am back-"

"So, Dream! Are you going to be staying for my stream?" Sapnap asked.

"It's the- the uh- trying out UK and US snacks, right?" I asked.

"Yeah, we bought the things already so we'll start in like a few minutes while we get them set up." George explains.

"Hm, Idk, I might stay, depends on Mar-" I start but I stop myself.

If I say Mars, then what if they accidentally hear her and recognise her voice? Shit, it's better to say Marley.

"Mars? Marcy's with you?? Get her on! Didn't she say she couldn't make it because she had something important to do?? Are you actually hogging her right now??" Sapnap cheered.

"No, Marley's here." I state.

"Oh! Then get her on? They have so similar names." George induced.

God he's so smart sometimes. I think, rolling my eyes.

"Yeah, I'll ask her. Be right back." I say, muting the mic and springing from the chair.

Any excuses to go see her again? I'll take it.

I walk over soundlessly and lingered in the doorway just looking at her. She had a low pony tail, but strands of hair escaped and fell before her face as she looked down to properly slice some tomatoes.

She looked so focus on getting them right.

A smile etched on my lips at the sight "Need some help?"

"Oh- Hey- nope, got it all covered." She says looking at me then back at the tomatoes.

I walk over to her and lean on the counter. Should I?

I really want to.

I lift my hand and push one of her strands behind her ears, the contact made her jump a little and she went red, but before this could get anymore awkward, I asked what I came here to ask "Sap and George were wondering if Marley would join in?" grinning at her.

She chuckled at that "Sure, are they streaming?"

"Sap is about to do the snack stream." I inform her.

"Yeah, I'll join! Give me a minute, this sandwich is almost done." She says, going back to her sandwich. Well, my sandwich.

"Alright" I say, walking back to my PC.

"She said she'll join in a minute!" I inform Sapnap and George.

"Great! We are nearly done with the setup."
