Me and Marcus

Chapter 15

MARCUS POV

I was watering my plants when I heard footsteps making their way over to me. I turned around and saw a face I wished I hadn't seen.

Lola's mom.

I didn't want to speak with this witch. Not her. I didn't care if she was my girlfriends mom, I hated her. She basically ruined all Lola's trust for me. I hope Lola trust me.

"Hey there." Said Tara.

"What do you want?" I asked rudely because I remembered she was cruel to me and Lola.

"I wanted to apologize for what I said, I was just worried about her." She calmly said.

I guess I should believe her. Should I? She did say some mean stuff and she is a bit weird, but I should look past that.

"Ok. I forgive you." I responded.

"But, one more thing." she said and I sighed.

"What?" I asked.

"Don't leave her. Don't dump her. Don't break her heart. Don't say 'we need to take a break' because it never works out. Do you hear me?" She asked and I nodded, even though I wasn't sure.

Not saying I'm going to dump her anytime soon, but what if I had too?

I don't know.

LOLAS POV

I woke up from my peaceful nap which only ended up being about 15 minutes, and smiled. Life felt so much easier after my talk with my mom. But I still had that tight feeling in my stomach because I had to speak with Marcus about this.

I stood up out of bed and fixed my bed hair. I applied some makeup that got taken off by previous tears. As I thought about me crying, I realized I cry to much for my age. Unless it is normal. I don't know. Whatever.

Basically my life right there. Everyday it was 'I don't know' and 'Whatever'. I grabbed my keys before I left to talk to Marcus.

I saw he was already outside and he seemed stressed. I hope discussing this wouldn't make him feel worse.

"Hey Marcus." I said as I walked over to him.

"Oh hey Lola." He answered with a smile.

"So, uh, we need to talk." I said not trying to make him worried. He looked up at me with big eyes and a scared expression.

"A-are you going to dump me, c-cause if you are just say it out." he stumbled out. I smiled at him when he stuttered.

"Marcus, I'm not dumping you. Now can we talk please?" I asked with a friendly smile trying to show no harm and let this stay on the right path.

"Oh" he said with a slight smile. "Yeah let's go in." He said as he put his watering can down and started to go inside.

We walked in and sat down in his living room. He gave me some tea and it reminded me of when we first met. Ah, what an adorable day. I then focused on what I was doing now. Ok, I'm just going to be honest and brave.

"So I just wanted to ask you some stuff." I told him to start off. He nodded and I began.

"Are you dating me because you love me, or because my mom had you date me?" I asked looking down at my tea. I was too afraid to look into his eyes. I thought I would see the answer there.

"Lola," Marcus breathed out. "Your mom isn't making me do anything. And I...I do love you. I love you so much. You should know that. Don't ever question it." he said and I bet I was blushing. He said it. He said he loved me.
