A sin

chapter 13: A Sin

I was in my room, waiting for him to show up soon. What was he planning anyways?

Not many more minutes, the door unlocked and he came inside, he locked the door behind him and I sat up on the bed. He smiles at me before stepping near the edge of the bed. "Sweetheart....you look so beautiful", he takes a deep breath, his eyes narrowed down my body. "Thank you..." My voice cracked a little and he lets out a soft chuckle.

"I missed you so much baby" he confessed with a breathy voice.
"I missed...you too" I mumbled quietly, not knowing how to express my emotions. I was scared, yes I was definitely not ready for whatever we were going to do tonight. I was not prepared.

He started to take off his coat, his watch, then his tie.
I watched him with mixed feelings. The silence was too loud.
He goes for his belt, and I started fidgeting with my hands nervously. He looks at me with a tilted head, and I avoid eye contact. He carefully analyses my body language.

"Baby..." He gasped softly as if something hit his realisation. I look at him, "How many guys have you dated before, including your ex Joe" He walks up to the bed and sat beside me.
"Why? Uhm, it was only Joe..." I mumbled quietly with a confused look.
"Wait- you're telling me, you've never been with a guy before except for that dic..I mean your ex Joe?" He asks and I nod.

"Am I assuming right?" He asks with a frown expression and it's driving me crazy.
"Assuming what?" I asked and looked at him. He sighs before gently speaking "That you're clean?" He tries to be polite "I mean- as far as I know Joe and his bet, but it didn't happen.." I quickly nod "yes..". His eyes widened a little but his face became soft and more caring, "oh my sweetheart, i should've been more careful...." He sighs and face-palm himself, he then looks at me and cups my cheeks while gently rubbing with his thumb, "Did you feel scared baby" he asks and I nod my head and looked down, he caresses my hair and says "I'm sorry for being selfish baby...." "It's okay...." I softly spoke.

"As you've got ready for me tonight, I don't want to waste your time that you've taken to be this beautiful" he carres my cheeks.
"Do you want to go out and eat?" He asks with a smile.
I nod with a hum and a small smile tugged in my lips.

"Alright, get up and let's get going " he says and he gives me a peck in my lips and got up to grabbed his watch and his phone, I quickly got up, and did some touch ups and wore my buckle heel.

"Ready?" He looks at me, lending his arm so that I can hold them.
"Yes" I nod with a grin and grab his arms.

We then reach the resort, which he said he had booked only for us.
"Are we staying a night?" I asked as he opened the car door for me.
"If you want... Then yes definitely" he smiles and gives the car keys to the driver.

He told me to choose, the porch, the garden, near the pool or inside the cabin. And I chose the garden, because it was beautifully decorated with fairy lights and LED lights.

We sat down, not many more minutes the food was served soon.
He didn't let me do anything, he served the dish for me, put some red wine on my glass which was lesser than his.

We made a toast and we started eating.
"So, my sweetheart. Do you want me to add anything extra? Maybe some romantic music for the background" he asks and I chuckled softly "no need for that. It's fine", he nods with a smile and grabs the tissue and hands it to me "it's on your lips..." He points out, "mhm.. here?" I wiped it off "no-" he laughs a little before grabbing the tissue from my hand and wiped it off. "Better?" I asked. "Yes....better" he smiles.

After having a fun night, we finally decided to go to bed.
"Little girl, wear this" he hands me a pretty night silk suit, "And...." He turns back at me from the bathroom "don't wear anything up there" he points out with a smirk, I blush a little before nodding.

I sat down to comb my hair, when suddenly his phone started to buzz continuously, I groaned a little before getting up and walked towards the nightstand, I thought it was his co-workers or someone, but the screen name said otherwise,, "Ella?" I tilt my head.

I had a doubt, it was his ex wife, even though he didn't mention about her, I didn't ask much of her.
I kept the phone back to where it was and went back to combing my hair.
My head was filled with thoughts and 'a little bit of jealousy', even though, I came late in Marcus's life.

His phone kept on buzzing, I let out a deep sigh before getting up again and walked towards the nightstand. I turn on the phone to see the text messages from "Ella" in the home screen notification.
"This is not what I wanted Marcus? You fucking cheater! How can you date someone younger than me"
I gulped down as my thumb scrolled through each of the text.
"Yes we're divorced but how can you fucking date someone so quickly?"
"I was right about you, you never cared for me"
"But. I want to give us a chance Marcus. Please call me back. I love you"

I quickly close the screen and I started getting scared. Scared of being left by Marcus.
I wanted to delete the messages she'd sent but unfortunately I didn't know his password.
My eyes started getting blurred, already in a verge of tears.

"What are you doing sweetheart?" Marcus's deep voice startled me and I quickly keep back his phone.
I stood there silently.
"What happened?" He furrowed his brows a little, he walks to me while wrapping the towel around his waist.

He looks at me for a while before grabbing his phone and looked at it, his face tensed a little.
"Don't worry about this sweetheart" he reassures but I was upset about this.

He kisses on my forehead and he starts to put on his warm robe "just wait for me" he says and walks out the porch.
I sat on the bed, holding my dear knee to my chest and tried to listen to their conversation.
I could hear him, yelling as the time flew and I clutched the blanket near me.

"Ella! Ella! You listen to me! You fucked up first okay?! You fucked with my co worker Daniel and now when we're finally divorce, you can't see me happy?" I bit down my lips and tried to hold back my tears, I was never comfortable with loud arguments, it scared me to the core.
