Luke's POV
"Shit" I muttered under my breath as I left.
Grace was going to be so pissed at me for being late and I couldn't tell her why I was late either. It was wrong what I was doing, sure Grace and I were having problems and I wanted to leave her but that didn't make it okay for me to want Marlee.
I loved Grace, well I thought I did until I met Marlee and everything just kinda changed.
All Grace and I did was argue, but with Marlee everything was just effortless, it all fell into place without trying.
My phone buzzed interrupting my thoughts.
"Where are you? you was meant to meet me for 40 minuted ago :( xx" - Grace
"Sorry, I'm just running late xx" I replied with, quickly stuffing my phone back in my pocket.
I had only left Marlee 10 minutes ago and I already missed her, that didn't happen with Grace. As I kept thinking about the differences between them I began to feel like more of a dickhead for playing Marlee when I was in a relationship, but was I playing her if I genuinely liked her?
I approached Grace's door and knocked, taking a deep breath and shutting off my thoughts.
A short brown haired, brown eyed girl opened door and gave me a small smile before wrapping her hands around my waist and saying, " I missed you".
----------------------------------------------
I arrived back at my small studio apartment, letting out a small sigh before proceeding to throw my body on the bed. I reached for my phone before turning it on to a text from Grace.
"I had fun today, I missed you, I love you lots xx"
"Me too xx" I quickly replied, I couldn't bring myself to say I love you. I then opened my chat with Marlee.
"Hey, this morning was really good, hope we can do it again sometime?? :) x" I quickly typed out and sent.
In just a few seconds after I sent the message the typing bubble appeared , causing a smile to spread across my face.I watched for a minute as she typed before the bubble disappearing again but no message came through.
Was she annoyed at me?
Probably, I mean I had been flirting with her before I just dropped the girlfriend bomb.
Shit. I had fucked up.
I didn't know what to do, I mean I knew I liked Marlee, maybe even loved her but I couldn't just leave Grace after being with her for two years or could I?

Marlee's POV
I wanted to respond to his text so badly. I wanted to talk with him until the early hours of the morning like I had for the last few weeks; but I just couldn't. He had a girlfriend and now I knew this I felt as if I was getting in the way. I also liked him and I decided the only way to get other that was by not talking to him.
I had no chance with him or did I?
No I wasn't like that, I wasn't going to break a happy couple up just so I could get what I wanted, what i wanted being being Luke.
I mean I could just be friends with him, surely I can control myself, I thought as I opened the message up again and responded, finally giving into the urge.
"Hi, yeah I enjoyed myself, maybe tomorrow if you're working?? x"
I felt guilty as soon as I had mentioned the idea of doing it again tomorrow. Maybe it was a bad idea but I couldn't help myself. Maybe I would have to break up the happy couple to get what I wanted.
No I couldn't but maybe, just maybe, I should.
