Me and Marcus

Chapter 4

LOLAS POV

I peel open my eyes. At first my sight is blurry, but I use my fingers to rub my pupils and wake up my eyeballs. I blink a couple times and look around the place I am in.

I remember the activities that happened that lead me here. Thunderstorm. Locked out. Neighbor. Tea.

"Good morning!" A voice came out of no where and startled me.

"Oh, you scared me." I say as I put my hand over my heart. I look out the window and it's super bright out. Then I turn my head to the clock to find that it's 8:34am.

"D-Did I sleep over?" I ask clueless.

"Oh, yes love, you were knocked out and I didn't have the heart to wake you up and kick you out." he says with a chuckle. That was really considerate of him. I wondered if he liked me. I mean all the kindness, the flirting, it must be a sign. I should make a move.

"Um, so are you um...s-single..?" I asked looking out the window.

He replies, "Actually, yes I am. I just got out of a relationship about 3 months ago but now I'm single." he came and sat next to me on the couch that I slept on. "How about you?" He asked quietly.

"I am also single " I said with a small smile. He put his hand on mine and I flinched a bit but I remembered when he held me yesterday and I felt safe. So I stayed like that.

"So would you maybe, like to go to this restaurant that's just down the street with me?"

I was shocked at his asking because I never really had a boy, or man, ask me on a date. Well, if it was a date. I hope it was. I mean, Marcus seems like a nice person and he is preeeeetty hot too.

I blushed at my thoughts and noticed that Marcus was staring hopefully into my eyes.

"W-well sure. Do you mean like a..." I didn't have the confidence to say it.

"A date? I guess, yes it would be a date" he said with a proud smile. I nodded and stood up. I then noticed I was still in my damp clothes from yesterday.

"Okay so tonight? If that is okay with you," he said with a tint of red glowing on his cheeks.

"Yeah, tonight sounds good"
I said with a polite smile and started walking out when I stopped in my tracks.

"Hey, did you ever get a chance to get my new key?" I said praying for it to be a yes.

"Oh! Yes, thank you for reminding me." Marcus said as he grabbed a small gold key off the counter.

"How much?" I asked him as he handed me the key and I dug for my wallet.

"Oh, don't bother it was nothing," Marcus said. "Why don't you get home and change out of those clothes." he added.

I walked out the door and crossed the street to my small but nice home. I unlocked the door and went in.

I sat on my couch and started to call my mom to tell her all about the boy next door and how I was going on a date with him. A huge smile grew on my face as the thought of him danced in my head.

Marcus seemed so, perfect.
