*Geoff POV*
It's probably been only 5 seconds, but it feels like an hour when quite possibly she could be hurt.
"Yes, she's fine. I was just testing out your number, she had given it to me." He
"Thank god," I let out a breath. "Is that all you need?"
"Yep, that'd be it. Also, take care of my daughter. I don't want her to be hurt."
"I have no intentions of hurting her, she is in fact the best thing that has ever come into my life." I gush into the phone. "I will take care of her, I will love her, I will do anything and everything she wants."
"Good man, Ramsey. Talk soon." He hangs up the phone and I sigh leaning back onto the wall. I catch my breath from talking too fast and open up the door, ultimately pushing Michael and Gavin to the floor.
"Eavesdropping, yeah?" I smile at them, "are you in like middle school?"
"Well we now know for a fact you are in love with Marley," Gavin smiles at me wiping off his a**.
"Yeah, whatever." I mumble sitting down at my desk.

Marley called me when she made it across the Arkansas-Texas border which was 3 hours ago. It's now midnight, the border is only a 5 hour drive. I can feel that she is closer and my heart is racing, I am so excited to see her, and kiss her, and hug her. I distract myself by playing some Minecraft with Gavin before I know it I hear a knock on the door. I run to the door and throw it open pulling Marley into my arms.
"You're here!" I kiss her face over and over. Gavin gives her a quick hug and we all go out and unload the trailer. In about 30 minutes we have her boxes piled up in her room.
"Okay I want a quick tour of the new house, then I am ready for bed." She leans on me, I kiss her forehead and guide her through showing her the house me and Gavin got at the beginning of the month.
I showed her the kitchen, which is way better than the apartment one. The dining room, the living room, her bedroom, Gavins room, my room, the 2 bathrooms.
"You're sleeping with me tonight, by the way." I whisper in her ear, kissing her cheek.
"That's completely fine by me, I just need some sleep." She can barely keep her eyes open, so I pick her up bridal style and walk back in my room laying her down in my bed. Her tiredness wins the fight as she falls asleep and I join her, pulling her close as possible to my chest.
"I am slowly falling in love with you, Marley," I whisper before letting sleep take over.
