After our dinner, Marlon and I hung out a lot. We hung out daily at the park, different restaurants and places. The more we were around each other we talked to know each other more.
We were like the best of friends. Though, sometimes I worried about his family and friends reaction if they saw us together. I am also worried that his lady will get the wrong impression of us. She may think we're dating and not just friends. I'll be lying, if I said I hadn't developed feelings for Marlon but I wasn't the type to take part in infidelity.
The more we spend time around each other and open up to each other the more I got attracted to him. Though he was still prejudice I realized he was a great guy.
Him being prejudice though makes me want to really fight and suppress those feelings. I know he doesn't feel the same about me. He just saw me as a friend. He loved my intelligence and I was his confidant but besides these he hated me. I wasn't light-skin and rich.
