Me and Marcus

Chapter 18

"Okay we just need to get the milk and we can go." I told Marcus who was moaning and groaning because we have been grocery shopping for a while.

"Finally we can leave," He said with a sigh of relief. I rolled my eyes with a smirk and pushed the carriage to the dairy isle and looked around for milk. I grabbed a gallon and put it in the cart.

"What about whipped cream?" Marcus asked with a grin.

"Why would I want that?" I responded confused. Marcus winked and I understood and realized he was making a dirty joke.

"Marcus! Oh my god!" I said trying not to laugh. I shook my head and pushed the cart over to the check out area.

Later

We finished unloading all of the groceries into my cabinets, pantry, and fridge. I finally had food!

"Thank you so much Marcus for helping me." I thanked him with a smile.

"Anything for you Lola." He said and I smiled and awwed in my head. I walked over to him and pecked his lips. When me and Marcus first started to date I have to admit, I was afraid to make the first move in a kiss. Now I can trust him and myself and just do it.

"Your so sweet. I can't handle it." I told him. I wrapped my arms around his muscular torso and rested my head on his chest. I stared into space as I thought about everything, but if you asked me what I was thinking about, I would say nothing.

My stomach grumbled as I felt the emptiness of it. I frowned and looked at my tummy.

"Someone's hungry." Marcus chuckled. I nodded and agreed as I walked to my fridge. I opened the door and the light in the refrigerator turned on and I peered at all my choices. Do I want healthy or junky? Fruit or veggie? Liquid or solid? I decided on a plum so I wouldn't look like a complete pig in front of Marcus. I bit into the plum and chewed up the sweetness.

"Hey!" Marcus exclaimed and I stepped back in confusion.

"What?" I asked still confused on why he made me stop eating my plum.

"I want food too!" he childishly said. I chuckled and turned around to face the fridge and opened it to grab him a plum. I tossed it to him and he successfully caught it. He sat on the couch and started to eat it and I joined him resting my head on him. We were just a little happy couple sitting and eating fruit.

"We should get to know each other better." He commanded and I thought that was an excellent idea.

"Okay, let's ask some questions. I will go first." I searched my head for a question and one popped up. "What is your favorite color?" I asked curious.

"Silver." He responded and I was amazed at the uniqueness of it. "Now I will ask a question."

He squinted and looked at me, then looked back around the room. His face lit up and he asked away.

"Do you have any siblings?" When I heard the question my smile disappeared and I felt my eyes water. I looked down away from Marcus.

"Lola..." He asked obviously worried. I shook my head and took a big breath. I looked up at him and he pulled me into a hug when he saw my eyes.

"My sister died when she was only two." I confessed and I started to cry. I remember I was only 10 when it happened. I loved her so much. It was the hardest thing ever to see her go so young.

"I'm so, so sorry." Marcus whispered in my ear. I took one last deep breath and pulled away from the hug. I looked him in the eyes and I saw sympathy I gave him a kiss.

"It was a car accident." I told him guessing he was curious on how she went. "She was in the back seat and me and my mom were in the front. A drunk driver in a pickup truck slammed into us. I remember falling asleep for a second and waking up in an ambulance. All I could think was, where is my mom? Where is my sister? The only good thing about that day is I got to see my dad when he came from the army, but it didn't matter because we were all crying. I guess my sister got hit the most and..." a cry slipped out of my mouth and Marcus pulled me tight into him. "She was announced dead before we even got to the hospital." I remember the day so clearly and I hate that. She was too young. She had a life ahead of her.

"Lola, I am so sorry for you. I love you so much." He kissed the top of my head and comforted me until all the tears were gone.

"You okay?" He asked as he let me allow the pain to flow out. I sighed in sadness and wiped away the water on my face. I cuddled up next to Marcus and thanked God that he gave me this amazing creation of a boyfriend.

"Thanks for all of that." I smiled thankfully and kissed his cheek. We laid in silence soaking in all of the emotions that were previously felt. After a while I got up and threw out my plum remainings. Marcus had to leave and I was left alone. I sat for a while just thinking about everything that I felt that afternoon. I checked the time and it was 7:00. I stood up from my seat at the couch and went to my bedroom where I changed into pajamas and took off all my makeup. I crawled into bed and laid for a while trying to fall asleep but I just couldn't get the depressing thoughts out of my head.

I was like that for a long time until a text tone came from my phone and I guessed it was a goodnight text from Marcus but I was startled when it wasn't.

From: Trevor.

Hi! I was wondering if u wanted to hang tomorrow?

I smiled at the text because I didn't think he would actually talk to me again. I then frowned because what if Marcus wanted to hang tomorrow? Or what if he found out I was hanging with Trevor? He won't care, right? He should trust me because I am really starting to trust him. I texted him back.

To: Trevor

Sure! How about the mall or something?
