chapter 8: until tomorrow

martinus pov//

i woke up and i looked down to see j sleeping right next to me. my arm was still wrapped around her and she was snuggling up close to me.

i loved waking up like this. it made me feel so happy when she was next to me. i know she was having a hard time and i want her to know i'm here for her.

marcus i think was still sleeping. i kissed her on the forehead again and rubbed her head. i wouldn't be able to do this when she was awake, i would be to scared.

she moved a little bit. oh she's awake. she slowly opened her eyes and looked up at me. she looked so cute when she was all tired.

j-"good morning."

martinus-"good morning."

j-"were you watching me sleep."

she smiled a little bit and i became a little red, she grinned a bit.

martinus-"maybe. you just look so cute."

j-"hehe you are always cute."

that made me smile.

martinus-"you know you clung so tight to me."

j-"i know. it's because you are so warm and you make me feel safe."

martinus-"j i would never want you to not be safe. promise me you will talk to me when something is wrong."

j-"martinus you don't have to worry about me."

martinus-"but j you can trust me."

j-"i know."

martinus-"good."

i hugged her tight in my arms.

martinus-"j can i ask you something."

j-"of course. what is it?"

martinus-"j will you be my-"

marcus-"guys im hungry."

ugh marcus! he ruined it. finally i was about to ask her and then he had to go and say he was hungry. i glared at him.

j-"we can make waffles. i'll go get it stared."

j got out from under the covers and went downstairs. i face palmed and took my pillow to throw at marcus. i missed because he dodged it.

marcus-"what was that for."

martinus-"i was about to ask her to be my girlfriend!"

marcus-"oh shoot. i'm sorry. okay you can do it later today."

martinus-"ugh but that was the perfect moment."

marcus-"it will come i promise. don't worry."

j-"marcus, tinus come down here!"

we both got up and walked downstairs. j was going through the cupboards and was bent over. i couldn't help but stare at her. my face turned all red.

marcus noticed and he hit me in the side. j turned back around and was looking at me funny.

j-"martinus you are really red, is it too hot down here?"

martinus-"just you."

j-"um what?"

martinus-"nothing!"

smooth martinus smooth. she went back to making the waffles and the two of us were sitting down.

marcus-"your parents still aren't home."

j-"um no."

she always acts weird when we say her parents name. i mean i don't mean to make her uncomfortable i'm just so curious.

the three of us were out playing soccer it was a really nice afternoon. soon enough we would have to come home to work but it felt so good to relax with j.

j-"i'll be back i'm gonna get us water."

she went to go and grab the water. i saw her phone kept lighting up. it was probably lena. i couldn't help but look over when it buzzed for the fifth time. it was her parents.

is it wrong to enter and read? i saw her put her passcode in before, its her birthday. i opened quickly and looked. it was her parents.

marcus-"martinus!"

i ignored him and kept looking. these texts were the answer.

mom-"honey how are things back in norway?"

dad-"we will be back soon."

mom-"you know how things get. we are sorry to keep leaving like this."

dad-"you will meet us back in the US soon."

mom-"we love you."

j-"tinus what are you doing!"

i looked up and dropped her phone. j came running over and took it from the ground. she saw i was reading her texts and her mood changed very quickly.

i couldn't tell if she was mad or upset.

martinus-"j i'm sorry i read your messages but where are your parents? they aren't in norway? are you here by yourself."

she looked at me and she didn't answer. she locked her phone and went back to her house without saying anything.

marcus-"good going."

we both ran inside after her and she didn't even seem angry. she was just silent.

j-"we are not talking about this."

martinus-"but j-"

j-"no tinus. i'm sorry, i'm not ready to talk about this yet. the least you can do is respect my privacy considering you snooped through my phone."

martinus-"yes you are right."

j-"thank you."

marcus pov//

why does martinus do these things if he likes j? he snooped through her phone and invaded her space. i know he means well but i'm worried if he screws up with her she won't take him back.

i wouldn't want to see my brother hurt. we were back at our house. the rest of the time with j was rather weird. she was mainly silent the whole time.

martinus and i were on a break from recording downstairs. it was getting pretty late out and the sun was about to set.

i went up to my room and opened the window, it was pretty hot in here. when i opened the window i could hear slight humming.

i turned my head and tried to look, i think it was j singing. maybe i should sit for a little and listen to her. i could listen to her sing for hours.

she shouldn't be so shy, her voice is beautiful. she's singing ed sheeran. i didn't want her to stop, but then she did.

martinus called me and we had to go back. until tomorrow j. until tomorrow.
