Fall Girl

Kev

Margot I and started staying together. some nights we sleep at mine and some at her. Today Margot didn't come at her usual time. I waited for a while and then picked up my phone and dialed her number.

"Hello," Margot answered when she picked up the phone.

I cleared my throat. "Where are you?"

Margot replied casually, "I told you yesterday I'd be at Aurora for dinner."

I facepalmed, how could I forget. But still I wanted her, so I asked. "When will you come back?"

Margot sighed. "I am leaving in 10 minutes."

I sighed. "I am waiting for you."

I know Margot sensed restlessness in my voice. "Is everything alright. Kev?"

I started to get cranky. "I don't know I just don't feel alright without you."

Margot giggled. "Really, what if I have to go somewhere for a few days?"

I shot up my shoulders. "I'll go with you."

Margot giggled again. "Kev, I am gonna go at my penthouse first because I need to pick some clothes and then I'll come over to you."

I suggested.  "You can wear mine."

Margot playfully whined, "Yeah, but at your place I have already left many of my dresses and at my place I have plenty of your shirts and shorts."

"It doesn't matter, Mar. Just come to my place, please. I miss you," I told her sincerely.

Though I couldn't see her, I could almost picture Margot rolling her eyes. "Fine, I'm on my way."

"Good girl," I teased affectionately before ending the call.

After ending the call with Margot, I noticed a message from Renna on my phone: "Don't worry about me, I am completely fine." Initially, the message seemed a bit cryptic, but then I remembered that I had texted her before heading to South Shore about my house key, and she found a moment to respond now when I got back. Shaking my head with a sarcastic smile, I found myself contemplating whether or not to call Renna.

I was holding my phone and still deciding what to do, I heard my doorbell, and I immediately rushed to the door and opened it. Margot was standing and I didn't bother to let her in and enveloped her in my arms and kissed her.

Margot perfectly melted in my arms and while kissing I shut the door. After we broke the kiss, I notice she was not looking as fresh as she looks after meeting her friends. "You are looking tired."

Margot cracked the muscles of her neck. "Yeah, because I am tired."

I kissed her again. "You go and take shower; I'll get something for you to wear."

Margot headed to the bathroom, and I gave her my shorts and shirt and climbed back in my bed. I was watching my favorite my show "Suits" on Netflix. I didn't notice when she came and sat next to me until she asked. "Are you still into these legal shows?"

I wasn't looking at her and nodded because right now Jessica just got to know about Mike's truth.

Margot asked. "So, are you on Team Mike Ross or Team Harvey Specter?"

Her question makes me pause the show and I looked at her. "Since when did you like these kinda stuff?"

Margot raised he brow. "Do you remember THE PRACTICE we used to watch together?"

I squinted. "What THE PRACTICE has anything to do with my question? What is your point"

Margot while drying her hair. "The point is I never like legal shows, but I used to watch with you. I enjoy everything with you."

I raised my brow. "You started watching SUITS because of whom?"

Margot shook her head while giggling. "I started watching SUITS because I assumed you were with me all the time; I am watching anything of your favorite." she added "Now tell me which team you are?"

I pointed at the screen. "Team Mike Ross." I accidently paused at Mike.

Margot raised an eyebrow. "But Mike Ross is a fictional character. Harvey Specter is the real deal."

I furrowed my brow. "You don't believe in photographic memory?"

Margot shook her head gently. "Photographic memory exists, but getting a job in a law firm without a law degree? That seems too far-fetched. On the other hand, Harvey Specter, New York's best closer, does things he doesn't want to do just because his boss, Jessica, asks him to. That's reality to me."

I shut my laptop and put it aside. "We'll talk about this some other time. How was your day?"

Margot nodded and smiled. "Today I received flowers in office by someone."

I chin-up. "Really? what a coincident because today I sent flowers to someone."

Margot blushed and kissed me. "I want to talk."

Curious, I asked, "About what?"

Margot took a breath. "About us, Kev."

I nodded. "I am all ears."

Margot smiled. "How and when should we tell people about us?" I raised her hands like a surrender "I mean, if you want to keep things low-key, that's fine too."

I pulled her close. "Mar, I sent you flowers with my name on them, and we're twenty-five now, not fifteen. I have no problem telling the world about us."

Margot suggested. "How about if we start with our families?"

I raised an eyebrow. "So tomorrow, you're going to tell Blake about us?"

Margot nodded. "Yes, and I'm very excited about it."

I asked, concerned, "Is everything okay with Aurora?"

Margot tossed a wet towel aside. "Yeah, we needed to catch up over a lot of stuff."

I feel like Romeo who lost in Juliet's love. I was apparently listening to Margot but inside I lost in my thoughts about how stupid I was to spend ten years of my life without her.

Margot snapped me. "Are you listening?"

I shook my head. "Yeah. I was listening, you were talking about Aurora."

Margot smiled and continued. "She is confused about Ivan."

I squinted. "Ivan? Who is this?"

Margot's eyes widened. "Don't tell me I haven't told you about Ivan. the guy she met a few months ago in Galaxy."

I shook my head. "Nope. I don't know what are you talking about?"

Margot facepalmed. "She met Ivan in Galaxy, and they instantly felt connected, but the only problem is Ivan is not from Glisten."

I asked. "So, What Ivan doing in Galaxy?"

Margot shot up her shoulders. "He got a transfer in his job of a few months."

My curiosity grew stronger. "So, this Ivan guy will go back to his city in a few months?"

Margot nodded. "This is problem. Aurora is confused and I am telling you I never saw my best friend this confuse ever in life."

I smiled. "I wish I can do anything to help your best friend."

Margot rested her head on my shoulder. "Aurora will manage she is strong, independent and smart girl."
