Wake Up Call (English) #Wattys2016

I'm your best friend...

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Me and Marshall leapt up from the floor and looked at each other, while we laughed quietly.

"Marshall !! You in there, dawg ??" We heard Proof outside, we jumped up and ran around in the dark to find our clothes, I had it easier than Marshall and got on the dress quickly.

"Zipper!" I whispered loudly to him, he jumped up to me while he pulled on his pants and pulled up the zipper on my dress. He buttoned up his trousers at dwelling, pulled on his t-shirt and ran to the door.

"MARSHALL !! FOR FUCK SAKE !! You're on in 30 minutes !!" Marshall turned on the light and opened the door, there stood Proof, Stacy and Brian..? They stared at Marshall wide-eyed as they burst into the room. Once Stacy saw me she ran up to me with Brian right after her.

"Alex! What the hell ?? We've been looking for you for AGES !!" She said, staring at me, I looked away from her and over to Marshall.

"30 MINUTES !! FOR REAL ?!" He exclaimed and pulled off his shirt (again) so he could change, Stacy saw it too and got big eyes.

"Damn, you've been working out..." she said smiling, Marshall laughed briefly and changed top, before he turned to Proof.

"No, 1 hour. Woops!" He said smiling, Marshall pushed him annoyed and let out a laugh himself, but Proof grabbed him and pulled him out of the room and shut the door behind him. I was about to follow when Stacy held me back, I met her eyes questioning.

"Alexis Cubard..." she said smiling, I looked still at her quizzically. "You little wild girl!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked a little hard, I saw Brian got big eyes, he hadn't seen the Detroit side of me before! Hahah!

"Alex, I'm your best friend ... I can tell when there's something fishy going on ... Besides Proof told me about the 'incident' at the bar ..." She said, I got big eyes and looked at her looming .

"What 'INCIDENT'?" I asked again, even harder.

"Wow calm down! He told me that you and Marshall, both drunk, had told each one another you loved eachother. We know you got feelings for him, and we know he got feelings for you too..." I dropped her gaze and looked down, almost theatrical, just that it was impossible to say whether I played or not.

"He ... He loves me?" I asked, she nodded... I looked up and saw her skeptic smile.

"Your hair is messy and your make-up is ruined, you've been alone in a dark room with him for an hour ... We're not stupid and by the way, nice shirt you bought him!" She said, I met the gaze of an apologizing Brian.

"Sorry ..." He said, that's when I noticed the short distance between them and smiled at Stacy.

"OH MY GOD !! YOU guys !!!"

"WH--" She, I just shh-ed on her.

"I can tell !! You're together !! Are you still a virgin, Stacy ..."  I smiled and raised eyebrows against them both.

I stopped smiling when she looked at me thoughtfully as she took her hand in his.

"I'll tell if you tell, and be honest!" She said, looking at me threatening, I sighed and closed my eyes.

"No, I'm not ..." I said finally, Satcy began cheering loudly.

§FINALLY !! You guys ARE together !! WHY THE HELL did you keep it as a SECRET !! ??§ She asked sour, I looked up quizzically.

"I can't have a reputation like that! I'm the cute, adorable model that, apperantly, everyone loves, the face of Vogue ... I can't suddenly just date an angry rapper--"

"--really hot! YES YOU CAN !! NO one cares! Jeez, Alex ..."She completed, I laughed briefly and nodded smiling.

"Still, Marshall can't make this public right away ... Because of the divorce and everything ..." I said and sighed.

Just then came Marshall in the door again with Proof smiling behind him, I met his gaze.

They knew it all along ...

"I know..." He said, as if he read my mind and entwined his fingers in mine while he looked at me smiling.

"...Can you guys kiss now? I've waited for this for at least 2 years ...?" Said Stacy impatient, we laughed shortly before Marshall without hesitation pulled me against him until our lips met once again.

Now we could at least be a ourselves around our friends, but we have the rest of the world that dosn't have to know just yet...
