Right Behind You (Thriller)

No.3

It was the next morning I hardly had any sleep, since that nightmare. I made my bed & went into the bathroom to do my hygiene routine. I decided to have my hair straight today & gel down my baby hairs, I then was figuring out what to wear, "hmmm the weather seems calm today", I went for my mustard fashion Killa crop top jumper & my distressed black shorts. I then went for my black patent doc martens to match.

I grabbed my car keys, as I needed to get food shopping. I locked the front door & hopped into my car & drove to the nearest supermarket.

--------------------------------------------------

After the food shopping I headed home, there was traffic on the way back as an accident happened. 25 mins later I was back home, I grabbed some bags & left them at the door; as I was about to go back to get the rest then, Marcello came over.

"I see your struggling", he smiled making my stomach flip a thousand times. "Nah, I'm fine seriously", "hmmm it doesn't look so, I'll take the rest", as he grabbed the other four bags. "You can leave them at the doorstep, I'll do the rest", I tried to persuade him, I didn't want him to do too much. "Why can't you accept a niggahs help", he chuckled.

As much as I didn't want him to help me I couldn't resist. I opened the front door, while Marcello followed behind me. "You can place them on the kitchen counter", "hmmm okay", he didn't sound too pleased.
There was an awkward tension in the room & I hated it. Marcello then was about to leave but I stopped him in his tracks. "Do you wanna stay for dinner?", hoping he would accept. "Well... why not", he cheerfully smiled. A smile appeared on my face I've not felt like this in a long time, I never hoped to be this close towards someone since him.... He broke my self esteem & brought me to the lowest point in life. He always said I'm good for nothing & that I'm just like any other girl.

I lost many Friends because of him, they warned me about him & I refused to listen because I was so in "love" but if you supposedly love someone you would never, physically & mentally abuse them; but love them & cherish their presence. It became so bad I became distant to family he always said that I only have him & nobody else cares for me or wants me ..... Only him.
Some days he'll chose to be good.... When he wants something out of me..... Or when I tried to leave him. He just stopped loving me like he used too.....

I snapped back into reality with Marcello waving his hand in my face. I just smiled at him & he smiled back. I quickly started dinner which, I decided to make a family favourite Gumbo, Marcello set up the dinner table & then waited for me to prep the gumbo. I grabbed two bowls & served the gumbo in them, headed to the dinner table I placed the bowl in front of him; his face bare gleaming with excitement, like a child.

"This looks good b" I smiled & sat down, Marcello started grubbing into his food, we was silent for the whole time. I grabbed the empty bowls & put them in the sink, I checked the time & it was 10pm it was a little late for Marcello to be here but I did want some company.

"Ummm, it's getting kind of late unless you wanna stay or something, it's up to you?" I played wth my fingers & looked down as a warm hand caressed my cheek, I looked up staring into his chocolate brown eyes "I'll stay I don't mind", I smiled & walked back heading upstairs to do my night routine then, got changed into my shorts & tank top.

I grabbed a blanket & extra pillows & headed downstairs, Marcello was just sat on the sofa trying to pick a film on Netflix. I gave him the stuff & sat on the other sofa, waiting for him to pick a film. "Why you sitting all the way there Ma" I didn't know what to say but just sit there, "Come sit with me", I hesitated for a bit but then I got up & sat next to him.

"What film you wanna watch" looking over at me "I don't mind but I like horrors", we ended up watching insidious I'd already watched that film once; but I didn't mind watching it again. Half way through the film I started getting a bit sleep, I felt Marcello's big arms rap around me & cradle me into him, I looked up at him he glanced away from the tv & looked at me.
He placed his hand on the side of my face & stroked my cheek with his thumb; at this point it was unexpected his plumped lips crashed onto mine the kiss deepened as he licked my lips for an entrance, his hands started roaming my body neither of us wanted to stop but I knew I just had to it's just too soon.

I slowly backed away from him & looked down, "ummm I'm a bit tired... Goodnight", Marcello gave me a funny look as I got up "Goodnight", he was quiet as ever I looked back at him, as his head was sunk low. I quickly headed up the stairs & jumped in bed, I stared at the ceiling once more as my eyes slowly shut......
