Against All Odds

Chapter 84

Aliyah P.O.V.

"Should I wear my addidas, or my Nike's tommorow?" I turned around from my suitcase, holding up both pair of shoes for Marcus to see.

He had been laid back on the hotel bed with his phone glued to his face the entire time he had been here. Ever since Cordarius' funeral, it seemed like he's been even more cut off from the world, if that was even possible.

The only progress he has made so far was that he was talking more, but it wouldn't last long, all of a sudden he would get in these moods where he didn't wanna be bothered, and it was starting to confuze me.

"Ion know." He mumbled. "The addidas maybe." I slightly smirked, sitting my shoes back in their box, before placing them in my suitcase.

"Im just suprised you ain't bring no heels." He sat up a little, still staring down at his phone.

"I did, they're already out." He shook his head. "Of course." He said lowly.

I walked over to the side of the bed and took a seat beside his legs. "Have you started unpacking yet? I heard the tour starts at 8, and you have to be there on time, or you get left."

He sighed. "I'll start when I get back to my room."

I opened my mouth to speak, but the sound of the door opening up behind me, stopped me.

"Li, Im leaving." I turned my head to the door to see mama standing in the doorway. "Im going down to the boutique for a little while to see what they've been up too."

I nodded. "Okay, I'll be here."

"Alright baby, I'll see y'all later, bye Marcus." He looked up from his phone, giving mama a slight head nod. "Bye Mrs.Alsina."

She smiled at us both before leaving, closing the door behind herself.

Once she was gone, I turned my attention back to Marcus. "She's gone." I started.

"We have the whole suite to ourselves now." I smirked a little, but he wasn't even looking at me, he was to busy consumed in his phone, to get what I was trying to hint at.

"She'll be back." He said lowly.

"Yeah, but not for awhile." I scooted back on the bed, and stood up on my knees, getting closer to him.

I placed one leg over him, taking a seat on his lap, trying to get his attention. "You smell really good."

"Thank you." He mumbled, keeping his eyes on whatever he was looking at. "Are you gunna look at me?" I asked, slipping his phone out of his hand, and placing it behing my back.

"Stop playin Li."

"Im not playing, you haven't even looked at me since we got here, you've been consumed in your phone on the bus to the airport and you listened to music the whole airplane ride to Atlanta."

He sighed. "My bad.....now give me my phone back."

I shook my head, keeping my hands behind my back. "No, you can use your phone any other time, right now I want your attention." He sighed, running a hand down his face.

"Ight, wassup?" I could hear the annoyance in his voice, but I just ignored it.

"Give me a kiss." I started. He sighed, leaning up, kissing me on my lips. "Ight, now give me back my phone."

"Give me another kiss." I smirked a little, leaning down towards him. "Nah, you just got one."

"I want another one." I smiled a little, trying to get him in a better mood.
