marjoreece - love at first glance

2

MARJORIES POV:

i was dreading the seminar. the one person i know i really love doesnt love me due to one mistake i made. i had ruined the one chance i had. all day in one room, with reece. i just hoped to god that things would be better between us. i just hoped he might love me.

REECES POV:

how on earth am i going to deal with the seminar. i love marjorie. and i think she loves me. but we cant be together. amelia roberts (mia) has ruined my life. all those times i went back to her. just for her to ruin the date i wanted to go on with marjorie. i wish i had just left her years ago. why did she leave the flowers in her office? and why did marj think it was me!? i just hope that she still loves me. i just hope.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"welcome, welcome to the managers seminar!!" spoke the course runner.
"today we are going to be connecting with our fellow managers, and learn to really love our managerial roles. our first excersize will get rid of any awkwardness.! reece if you stand amd let marjorie fall into your arms!!"

"no, no, no there is no way we are doing that" said by marjorie and reece, at the same time.

"oh. well okay then, i will let you think about that, but let me know if you do decide on doing that activity. first just work through the questionare with your partner. please just make sure to have fun!" the course runner exited the room. the awkwardness now entoxicated the air. strangling both reece and marjorie.

------------------------------------------------------------

"so reece, hows the other nursery.." marjorie was desperate the break the tension in the air. she just wanted to speak with reece again.

"its good, hows the dating apps" reece tried to show marj he was unbothered. he knew how he was falling for her by the second.

"fine i guess, at least i know where i stand with those men." marjorie tried to mstch reeces tone, it just made her feel more and more worried that reece didnt love her. "and they dont just mess me around, unlike some men i know."

the seminar women came in. she broke all awkwardness surrounding marjories statement. they both just wanted to go home and sob, well atleast thats what marjorie wanted to do.

"right you two, now is time for a toilet break. you have 5 minutes, and once you are back we can discuss more activites and pair work." she once again left the room to tell this to each of the other managers working together

"you know what. im stepping outside i need some fresh air." reece stormed out.

marjorie debated following him.

"no. no. no. i need to follow him and set the record straight."

simular to reece marjorie stormed out, only to find reece pacing about in the carpark. he was clearly contemplating some sort of descion. a big one.

------------------------------------------------------------

REECES POV:

i cant do this. im sat in a small room with the women i love, and im pretending i hate her. i hope this bad dream just ends. i need to leave. im begging her to follow me. i want her to say she loves me. i need her to say she loves me. the seminar is painful. but maybe, justt maybe it will bring us closer again. i want it to be like the early days. when daily i rung marjorie. i know the only reason i work here is to bring peace with my sister. but ive done that now. so surely she can see that i am a good person. mia was just there as she made me go back to her.

MARJORIES POV:

i cant do this, but i have too. reece has gone, is itt because of me? why do i ruin every chance i get. every boyfriend i have ever had, and its not many, all left because of me. am i the problem. i cant let him go like this. i need to show my love and i need to prove to him i still love him. you know what, im going to follow him. i dont care! he needs to know. i just hope he feels the same way that i do.

------------------------------------------------------------

"REECE STOP! i cant let you leave like this. im not going to. im calling you out on all of it. 'its was just flirting' 'you are JUST a colleague' i call bull sh1t on the whole lot." marjorie knew this was what she needed to do.

"i dont care what you believe marjorie."

"i do not believe a man that will go through HELL AND BACK for 20 YEARS just to protect his sister is a monster. infact. what has mia said she will do, because that what this is all about isnt it. i know mia is an extremely unhinged women. so please reece tell me. im worried about you" marjorie does 'the look' to get reece to tell her.

"she hasnt said what she will do, marjorie that terrifies me even more."

"so, to protect me you went back to her willingly. reece i am not a 15 year old girl about to go to her prom. i am a fully grown women who is capable of protecting herself. you need to stop sacraficeing your self to protect those around you."

"marjorie i cant let you get hurt, not you you saw the lengths she went through to get through me and my sister. imagine what she will do to get through me amd the women i lov- "

reece didnt finish his sentence. but marjorie knew what he was going to say. her eyes widened in shock. reece still loved her even after what had happened.

"reece, its my descion if i want to help or not, isnt it? please let me help you reece."

"she will loose her mind, marj. she will come after you." reece really cared about marjorie. he wanted her to be happy but he didnt want her to get hurt.

"let her. i have a guard dog. autumn is chomping at the bit to get mia after she realised she ruined her life."

reece laughed. "pftt, autumn?! but seriously marjorie. i hope you are ready, so is going to cause alot of problems for you.

"thank god i think you are worth the agro" marjorie said, making reece blush.

reece and marjorie stared into each others eyes. marjorie smirked. reece smiled. they looked again at eachother. they realised that all along they truly loved eachother. then they heard a door open, it was the seminar lady.

"right you two, come on in now" she lady smiled, she knew she interupted something.

"am i ever going to kiss you without someone inturpting?!?!" reece giggled.

"to be fair reece you are still in a relationship sort that out first" marjorie laughed

"okay then i will go sort that out, enjoy the seminar." reece left with a massive grin on his face.

MARJORIES POV:

i ended up going back to the nursery. my mind was too full of questions. i loved reece. reece loved me. but i just couldnt help but think of that one thing reece said. "she will come after you". was she really going to come after me. to be fair, if she was i wud just get autumn on her. either way, reece is worth all of this. i will do whatever to let us be together. its me and him against the world.

REECES POV:

i cant believe what just happened. after all that what happened. i told her i didnt love. i told her she was just a colleague. yet she still came back to me. i think i have found true love. this is amazing. the first time i set eyes on her i knew it was love. and it happened. but now the bad part happens. i have to break up with mia. this could destory mine and marjories relationship just because i know what will happen. if we get past this. and mia leaves us alone. its me and her against the world....
