If hearts should speak..

Told My Parents About You

Dorm troopers have got back in to the swing of Uni life again. The first week back, people have gossip; people are doing new things, everyone wants to hear it. Logan is happy that everyone accepts him, he's not anxious, he's doing well with his studies and is talking to someone. His name is Jacob, a great lad. Rough round the edges but a nice loving boy. Keeps people on their toes. A lad who wants everyone to feel welcomed, have a laugh and make everyone comfortable. He's right up Logan's street. The gang love him.
The first week of Uni weekend is the weekend of 'Logan's coming out party'.
"Just invite everyone you know guys" shouting Frank. "We know my love. Everyone knows everyone here, the place will be jam packed." Whoever shouted that from the living room.
"My dorm is throwing a party for Logan coming out. I want you to come. Can you make it?" Riley, pleading that Mark can make it. "Bring a few friends with you as well. Vanessa and Nikita will be there as well."
"Who said I wanted to be around you?" Mark playfully saying back. Riley not knowing what to say, shocked. "I'm joking, I'll be there. I always want to be around you. What time and what day?"
"I don't know what time yet but it'll be a Saturday night. The dorm are sorting it now while we're here. I'll have to text it you later on. I'm surprised you remembered that my favourite place to eat is anything Italian." Beamed Riley.
"Yeah, I don't think I'd ever be able to forget that. Pasta and pizza is everyone's favourite thing isn't it?! And zizzi's is the place for it."
"It's great spending time together. I enjoy it so much and it makes me happy. Eating and looking at you." Riley shyly saying.
Food and rambling on finished, and finally in to Mark's car and out the car park,
"Oh, I forgot to say Riley. I've told my family about you. I told them how great you are at everything. Being understanding, listening, how funny you are, how nice your smile is and how everyone loves you." Riley doesn't know how to take this information in because she's never had a lad talk about her like this to anyone.
"What's the matter Riley, you alright?"
"Yeah, I've never had anyone be interested in me like this. I've never dated anyone before and didn't think anyone would ever be interested. It's great that you've told them and I'd love to meet them! Your family all sound lovely. I hope they're as crazy as you!"
"It's sound Riley, don't be weirded out by it. I've got round to feeling my feelings, and I've been trying to push my feelings about you to the back of my mind, cause I didn't know how i was feeling about you. But since spending all this time with you and seeing how you are as a person, I fancy you. I want to be near you all the time cause you're the person I've always wanted to be like." Mark always had something great to say.
"Why are you always so nice to me?"
"Well I could be a horrible bastard, if you want?!" Laughing Mark. "But I like you, and you are a great person everyone says you are!"
"Thanks Mark, I appreciate that. I've never had anyone say something like that to me. I've definitely chose the best lad to be around haven't I!"
"Alright Riley, don't let my head get too big!"
They both finally pull into the Uni car park and it's so late. They're both quite tired.
"Thanks for today. It's been the nicest day. It's quite late, I think you should stay the night, my love." Yawns Riley.
"Are you sure? If that's okay with you?"
"Yeah, it's sound. I wouldn't have asked otherwise. I've only got a small bed. We'll have to share for the night. Is that okay?"
"That sounds great. I'm down for that." Mark says playfully winking.
They both get to the dorm and everyone is still up and everyone gets to meet each other. How could he look so good taking his top off to get into bed? I never knew he had a few tattoos on his back; a small dragon, red; which looked attractive on his olive skin; he also had a '1971' on his shoulder. I wonder if that's his mums birth year? Or just a random few numbers he liked? I couldn't strip looking how good he looked, especially with no t-shirt on. His lovely olive skin and how muscly he was made him more attractive. My favourite tattoo he has will always be the wings on the back of his neck. That's always my turn on.
"Do you like my tats then?" Tiredly asking Mark.
"Yeah, they're attractive and look sexy on you!" Riley saying half sleepy back.
They couldn't seem to keep their eyes open, so they go straight to bed.
They both couldn't keep their eyes open, and nodded straight off.
It's good everyone had got ready and gone out today. Mark woke up basically crying, sweating and scared of something.
"You alright Mark, you had a nightmare?"
"I keep having these bad dreams about things."
"Do you want to talk about it my love?" Riley still sleepy but listening.
"No, can we just cuddle for now, please?"
"That's fine, I'm always here if you need to talk, you know that". That's the type of person Riley.
"Thanks Riley. I don't know how to talk about my nightmares. It's hard, I don't know. I've never had to talk about it."
