"Marcus." I said, now shaking.
"Yes?" Marcus said.
Do it. Tell him.
"I um." I said.
"Go on." He said.
"Okay. I'm just gonna get to it. I like you. A lot. I don't know how the fuck it happened. But I do. So there. Yeah." I said.
Marcus stood up, standing right in front of me.
"You, Zoey Rivera, like me?" Marcus asked.
"You're asking that like it's a surprise." I said.
Just then, he pulled me in and kissed me. Marcus Alarie. Just fucking kissed me.
"Wow. Okay." I said.
"I'm sorry." Marcus said.
"No." I said, pulling him in and kissing him again.
I then... started making out with him.
What the fuck Zoey?
I liked it. I liked it a lot.
"Damn Zoey." Marcus said with a laugh.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that." I said.
"No, you should have because I liked that." He said.
"You did?" I asked.
"Yes." He said, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"So like, what does this mean?" I asked.
"What do you think?" He asked, biting his lip.
I stayed silent.
"Jesus Zoey you are slow." Marcus said, laughing at me.
Glad to still know he's my best friend.
"I like clarification Marcus." I said.
Marcus interlocked his hands together, holding my waist.
"Zoey. Will you be my girlfriend?" Marcus asked.
"Yes. Yes I will." I said.
"Then come here Jesus." He said, kissing me again.
Wow.
I finally pulled away again.
"I can't believe this is happening Marcus." I said.
"What?" Marcus asked, sitting next to me.
"You're the slow one now." I said.
Marcus kissed me again. I blushed.
"Cute." Marcus said.
"Shut it." I said.
Marcus laughed. I loved his laugh. I loved him.
"So, Zoey. How does it feel having your first boyfriend?" Marcus asked.
"Well, I don't know because we've only been dating for 3 minutes." I said.
"I swear to God." He said.
"What?" I asked.
Marcus pulled me in again, kissing me. I kept feeling sparks and lightning bolts.
"Why do you keep doing that?" I asked.
"Because. It's cute because you blush every time." He said.
"Not true." I said.
"You look like a cherry right now." He said.
I looked away as I felt him tackle me.
"I have you all to myself now." Marcus said.
"Best we make it count then." I said.
"I get to deal with your stubborn and slow ass." He said, laying next to me.
"You love dealing with me." I said.
"Eh, you suck." He said.
"Wow. Dick." I said, laughing.
"Excuse me?" He asked.
"You're excused." I said.
"Bitch, come here." He said, kissing me again.
I could get used to this.
"I don't want our siblings knowing yet." I said.
"Why?" Marcus asked.
"Because I told Delaney that I would never date you." I said.
"And yet here you are." Marcus said, laughing.
"Shut it. Anyways. I don't know. I'll tell them in a few days. We can do it like when Delaney and I come over this weekend for dinner." I said.
"That's fine." He said.
"I gotta go though. Delaney's here." I said.
"Hold on." He said, standing me up with him.
I smiled, kissing Marcus. Making out with him too.
"Man I love when you do that." Marcus said, kissing me again.
I smiled.
Marcus walked me to the front door, kissing me one more time before I went to Delaney's car.
"Hey Laney." I said.
"Hey. How was Marcus's?" Delaney asked.
Fucking fantastic.
"Pretty fine. He just played video games the whole time." I said.
No, he kissed me a whole bunch.
"Sounds like something Marcus would do." She said.
I laughed as she took us home. I went up to my room and laid down, smiling. Marcus was my boyfriend. He was my fucking boyfriend. He made my heart happy.
I really liked him.
