My Paradise

Chapter 5

Marcus POV
I heard of this party downtown and I thought Sky would dig it. We went to a restaurant first. When she ordered she made a weird face. "Is everything okay?"
I asked. She smiled. "Yeah. It's just that previous dates I went on the guy does the dumbest thing and order for me. But you didn't and I appreciate that" she replied "Well I'm glad I'm doing something right." We both smiled and blushed. I never thought I would find a girl this amazing. Even though she's not my girl. After dinner I asked if she wanted to go the party. "I'm not much of a party girl but I'm down."she said. "Great. If you don't like it we can go and do something else or I can talk you home." I said. She smiled and grabbed my hand. When she realized what she did she tried to pull away but I grabbed her hand so she couldn't. I was the happiest guy on the planet at that moment. We got to the party but it wasn't all that. It was a bunch of drunk people. "Um... can we go? I'm not really liking this setup." I agreed and we left. I took her home. When we got there we sat in silence for a minute. She finally broke the silence "Would you like to come in?" She asked. I nodded. We walked in. "You can sit on the couch. I'm gonna go change." She said. She walked upstairs. I sat down looking around. I saw lots of pictures. I assumed they were pics of her family. There was one she had doodles on. It was her and another girl who kind of looked like her. I got up to get a better look. "That's my older sister Luna." I heard her say behind me. She had tears in her eyes. "She died a three years ago in a bombing. She was the one who got me into acting." She began to sob a little. "I'm so sorry." I said. We sat on her couch and watched Stranger Things on Netflix. We dosed off.

Skylar's POV
I woke up on the couch. I saw Marcus sleeping next to me. I began to smile. I remember our "date" from last night. I laid next to him for awhile. I began to play with his hair. I loved his hair. He must of felt it because he woke not long after I started playing with it. "Good morning" I said. He smiled at me then closed his eyes. "I know your awake. You can't fool me." He smiled but kept up the act. "Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you!" I began to tickle him. He tried but couldn't help but bust out laughing. "Dirty move Miller. Your gonna pay for that" he said with devious smirk on his face. I tried to run but he grabbed my foot and pinned me down. He began tickling me. I burst out laughing. "Say your sorry." He said "NEVER... YOU... CAN'T... MAKE ME!" I said practically screaming. "I won't stop until you say it." I tried to hold out for as long as I could but I couldn't do it anymore. "Okay... I'm... I'M SORRY!!" I yelled. "Much better. I always win." He whispered in my ear. I'm not gonna lie. It turned me on. A lot. He began staring into my eyes. I stared back. Before I knew his lips were pressed against mine. I melted. I kissed him back. I was the best kiss I had ever encountered. He pulled back. "Why did you do that?" I asked still mesmerized by him. "I don't know. I just knew I want to since last night". He replied. Before he could go on I pulled him in to kiss me again. We kissed for what felt like forever. I love the taste of his lips. When then break the kiss and he stared at me. "Why did you do that?" He asked. I smiled "Because I wanted to." We got up and sat on the couch trying to process what just happen. He then pulled me in to cuddle. I could've laid there for hours. I had found my paradise.
