Don't leave me

Marjorie woke up alone. This wasn't unusual for her, Reece sometimes went downstairs to make breakfast if he was hungry. What was unusual was the fact she went to bed alone. Reece wasn't there when she fell asleep, nor when she woke up.

She climbs out of bed, getting herself ready for the work day. She makes sure she is wearing something extra professional, she was going to the meeting with the board today.
She put her hair up into a ponytail, it needed to be out her face today.
"Come on Marj, you can do this," she whispers to herself.

The drive into work was silent, she hadn't done the drive alone for a very long time. She got halfway before realising she needed to go to Roger's office today, not the nursery. She quickly turned in the other direction, thankfully she left early.
She pulls up into the office, seeing only Roger's car and Reece's car. He was here.

She storms inside the building, ready to rip into Reece for not being there, when she stops outside the office.
"Reece, it's not that hard," Roger said.
"I can't, I can't break her heart. I love her. I don't care what you'll do. I'm not breaking it off with her," Reece stands up for himself.
"Oh my boy, you don't know what you're doing. I suggest you do what I requested, I've got someone ready to step in to be your partner, someone much higher class. Reece, leave the woman," Roger said, his voice calm.
"I said no. Cut me from the inheritance, I don't care. I'm not breaking it off with the woman I'm in love with. I'm done. I don't want to see you again," Reece said, his voice firm, before he turned and walked out the office.

Marjorie looked up at him, and it took Reece a minute but eventually she caught his eye.
"Marjorie?" He questions.
"I came for the board meeting," she whispers, scared she'll make him angry.
"Oh baby," he breaths out. "Come here."
He pulls her into an embrace, and Marjorie holds onto his tight, she needs him, he can't leave.
"Reece, don't leave me. Please, no matter what. I am worth keeping around I promise," Marjorie mumbles.
"Gorgeous, I'm not going anywhere. Forget Roger, I love you so so much, and would let no one stand between us. I love you," he explains.
"I love you more."

They walk out of the building, kissing once more before getting in their separate cars, driving home. Marjorie gets there first, despite Reece having left first.
She waits around outside for him, she did not want to go into the house alone again.

20 minutes go by and he's still not home. Marjorie starts to panic, maybe he really did leave her, maybe he was making all that other stuff up.

Just as she's about to turn and go inside, Reece finally pulls up. He gets out the car, rushing over to her. She takes a few steps back, putting her hand out in between them.
"Gorgeous, I'm so sorry, I really am."
"Reece, I would prefer if you would tell me if you don't want me anymore, rather than going behind my back. I can get over it then. What I can't do, is fall asleep and wake up without the love of my life next to me, not knowing where he is. So let me know what you want, if you want to do this anymore or not. Because Reece, I'm not just something you can use and have and then throw away," Marjorie explains, pretty calmly for what was running through her head. She turns around and heads into the house.

She heads upstairs, straight into the bathroom and locks it behind her. She hadn't locked any room in her house when it was just her and Reece since they began dating.
"Marjorie baby! Please, come on. I'm sorry, I'll explain everything I promise. Just don't shut me out, or lock me out," Reece begs, knocking on the bathroom door. Marjorie didn't respond, just thought about it. Was she really going to shut him out? "Okay, you don't have to respond, or open the door, I'm here." Reece sits down on the floor, next to the door.

"Baby, I went to the shops. I was in there so long because I ran into Char and Mia. They were on lunch. I was grabbing your favourite snacks, and ran into them. Mia wouldn't shut up about something, and I eventually got free. I rushed home to you. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you worry at all. I am here for you now," Reece says through the door. Marjorie still doesn't respond, slightly worrying Reece. "Gorgeous, please say something at least. I need to know you're okay, as best you can be at least."

The lock clicks on the door, making Reece jump up. It takes a minute, but eventually the handle of the door moves and the door opens slightly.
"Hey beautiful," Reece says.
"Hey," Marjorie mumbles.
"Let's get you out of these incredibly professional clothes and into something comfy," Reece says, holding his hand out for her. She takes it, and they go to the bedroom. "Joggers and a top?" She nods her head. "Okay. Change out of that then, as sexy as it is, you'll be more comfy in these." Marjorie blushes. She didn't know how Reece could turn a situation around like this, and still make her blush like a teenager.

"Right gorgeous, what do you want to do? I've got snacks and we can watch a movie? Or we can do something else?" Reece suggests, sliding his arms around her from behind. She shrugs her shoulders. "Baby you okay?"
"Don't leave me," she replies, turning around in his arms, hugging him. "Missed you."
"I missed you too. Now, let me go get the snacks from the car, and I'll bring them right in to you. Go get comfy on the couch downstairs, load up whatever movie you want," he explains.

"You're crying? Oh baby," Reece slightly laughs. He knew it was coming.
"But Reece! She just left the only home she's known!" Marjorie sobbed.
"Babe this isn't even the sad part of the movie. The movie being The Little Mermaid," he says.
"But-"
I know gorgeous, I know. I'm just teasing."
"I love you," she smiles up at him.
"I love you."

Heyyy guys, I'm back into writing Marjoreece again!! And writing in general! My results day is in a week so my anxiety is high, making me write a lot more. I write my best chapters when I get anxious. (Also my birthday next week - the 20th). But over all my books, I should probably be writing more due to anxiety, but they will be my better ones so don't worry!
Anyways, look after yourselves, love you all!
