Stay

Good morning

When I woke up I turned to my side and Marshall was gone. I got up and brushed my teeth and went down stairs still in Marshall's clothes. They were so comfortable though. I came into the kitchen and Marshall was standing over the stove without his shirt on. My breathe caught in my throat. He didn't notice I was up until I sat down at the counter. He turned and smiled at me. "Morning baby." "Good morning" he stopped what he was doing and came over and gave me a kiss. "How did you sleep?" He asked. "Amazing. I haven't slept like that in so long. Thank you." A funny look came across his face. "For what?" He asked me as he went back to the stove. "For staying with me" I told him as I looked down at the floor. That caught his attention. "Of course I would stay with you." He smiled. After about 5 more minutes he brought a plate to the counter full of pancakes. "These look so good, Marshall!" I could tell that made him happy and he gave me a little smirk. "Thanks."

After breakfast he told me he didn't have anything to do so we decided to stay at his house considering I had no reason to go back to mine. I was going to change back into my own clothes but Marshall told me to keep his on. I could tell he liked me wearing them. We went to the living room and sat down on the couch. Marshall still didn't have a shirt on and was just wearing sweats. He was sitting up and I had my legs crossed over his.

"Man those pancakes made me full!" I yelled as I grabbed my belly. Marshall just chuckled at me. Although I was kidding around they did make me full. I sat up and went to lay down on the rest of the couch. I laid down with my head on the arm rest and Marshall gave me a confused look. "They made me full!" I told him and started laughing. "Well come here." He said so I did. He patted his lap and I understood. I laid my head in his lap and he laid his arm over me. We watched tv for a little while and he started playing with my hair. I turned so I could look at him. He was so amazing. I just looked at him and started smiling but he didn't seem to notice. He kept his gaze on my hair and the rest of my body. "You're so beautiful, Alex." He told me suddenly. My face turned really red and I looked away. "No I'm not." That made him give me an even more confused look. He sat me up and put me in his lap. He held my face and became very serious as he looked right at me. "Alex you're the most beautiful girl I've ever met." He said softly. That made me blush even harder but I smiled at him. He still had my face in his hands and he pulled my face to his and kissed me softly. I ran my hands through his hair and kissed the tip of his nose about 3 times and he started laughing. I got off of him and we laid down on the couch with him behind me and his arm around my waist. We laid like that for hours and I didn't want to get up. But then his phone started ringing and he groaned. We sat up and he grabbed his phone. "Hello? Shit.. Yeah I'll be there in a minute." And he hung up. "That was Paul I'm gonna have to head to the studio. I'm sorry." I smiled and told him it was okay. We both went up stairs and put on some clothes. "Come on I'll take you home." Marshall told me and I nodded my head. We went down and got in his car. He turned on the radio and a rap song started playing and he started driving. I happened to know the song and I sang along to the chorus. Marshall looked at me and smiled. "What?" I asked. He just shook his head and kept driving. "Whaaaaat?!" I pleaded. He looked at me and suddenly got serious. "I love you." He told me. I smiled warmly at him and said "I love you more." And gave him a kiss on his cheek. We pulled up to my apartment and he walked me up. I unlocked my door and turned around to Marshall. Before I could say anything he kissed me deeply. "I'll text you okay? We can hang out when I get back from the studio?" "Of course" I told him and kissed him back. He left and I walked inside my apartment. It was so boring here so I just sat down and turned on my tv. The news was on. What I saw shocked me. It was photos. Of me. Of me and Marshall. People were asking who I was and several claimed they knew me and that I was "Em's new girl". I changed the channel and decided not to text Marshall since he was probably busy and I didn't want to bother him. I sat there for about an hour before grabbing my keys and heading out to the coffee shop. I got there and Cody wasn't working so I just ordered and then grabbed my coffee then left. I got home and finished off my coffee. I got I text from Marshall that said he was on his way over. I smiled and went to look in the bathroom mirror. My make up had become smudged so I fixed it as best as I could before I heard a knock at my door. I opened it and saw Marshall. I smiled warmly at him but he just walked past me into my apartment. What was wrong?
