Forever

Chapter 61

Rose's POV
The rest of our night was spent playing around; we laughed, danced, watched TV. I did a little studying and homework and now I am currently laying in bed while Marcus finishes up in the shower.

I run a hand through my wet hair, getting out of bed and setting my wet towel on the dresser. I pad my feet back over to the comfy bed that I fall right into. As the bed conforms to my body shape I pick up the book I was reading before and turn to the page I left off.

Just as I turn the page I start to bite the inside of my cheek, my heart pounding at what will happen next. I'm on the verge of having a heart attack right at the cliff hanger, I start to hurriedly read on when I hear someone come up behind me on the bed and lift me in there arms. I ignore him and keep my eyes focused on the lines in my book.

"What are you reading" Marcus asks, arms wrapped around my stomach holding my back to his hard chest

His lips moves against my exposed neck but I still continue to read "a book" I tell him and he chuckles against my skin, making me shiver

"I see that" he whispers as goosebumps raise all over my body "what book?" He chuckles while his cold, wet and dark hair tickles my neck, small water droplets moving down the curve of my collar bone and down the valley of my beasts under my T-shirt

I push a strand of hair behind my ear "one of the books you bought me from the book store" I tell him, my eyes glued to the pages

"My smart girl" he says nibbling on my ear lob making me crink my neck and giggle finally tearing my eyes from the writing

"I was at a good part" I wine staring at him as he smirks

"I'm sorry but it's late and you have school tomorrow" he says caressing my cheek

I groan and nod, bending over to place my book on my nightstand. He pulls me back and I fall on his chest shaking my head suddenly realizing just how tired I am. He holds me tight and kisses my head "goodnight my love" he says softly

"Goodnight" I close my eyes and snuggle closer to him feeling warm and fuzzy with sleep. I fall asleep minutes later the darkness filling my mind as I lay there.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

My eyebrows crease in confusion as I lift my head already seeing Marcus reach for his phone in the darkness of night. I lay my head back down and pray he stops the ringing so I can go back to sleep. He answers quietly, his voice raspy and laced in sleep "hello?" He asks, I hear a rush of words on the other end but I'm on the verge of sleep and hope to fall over soon so I pay no attention.

Marcus sits up abruptly, causing me to almost fall off the bed, his arms wraps around my waist and lays me down beside him. I sleepily look up at him, his furrowed eyebrows and his head tilted in confusion "what?..Lucia calm down" he says quickly

I hear a voice on the other end talking at a rapid pace but somehow Marcus keeps up as he nods his head "you're sure? That doesn't make since?" He says

I sit up and look at him, my mind unreeling from sleep as reality hits me like a bus, when I realize something could be happening my heart skips a beat and then starts to beat like I just ran in a marathon. I grab his arm and he looks over at me, I'm sure I look ten times more confused and worried than he does "what is it?" I ask, now awake as adrenaline runs through me, pumping my heart faster
