Friends with a Twist

Chapter 6

-Marco's P.O.V.-

Grace was here? Last I knew she moved to Oregon. Grace was my girlfriend from last year. She was the closest girl in comparison to Jamie, that I'd ever found. I was disappointed when she moved.

What was I going to to do? I'm with Jamie now. What if Grace tries something? That was one thing I absolutely hated about her, she was crazy jealous about other girls.

"I thought that you would forget about Jamie and go back to Grace." Josh stated. I was still trying to comprehend that Grace was back and didn't even bother to think about my brother stealing Jamie from me.

"Jamie's my girlfriend."

"What?! Since when?!" he was totally bewildered.

"Since about thirty minutes ago."

"Oh." he looked down at his hands as if he were hiding something.

"What is it now?" I asked throwing my hands in the air. He glanced at me then at the door, probably trying to decide whether to tell me or make a run for it.

"I .... um.... kinda invited Grace over for dinner. I told her you were still single." he then made a run for the door. I was too tired to stop him so I stuck my foot out and tripped him instead. He sprawled out across the floor then scrambled to get up.

God I was in for it when Grace got here. That bitch was the most jealous girl ever. I didn't want her fucking screwing with my Jamie. I suddenly got an idea.

"Hey mom?!" I yelled down the stairs.

"Yeah?"

"Can Jamie join us for dinner?"

"Yeah that would be lovely."

"Ok thanks." I pulled my phone out:

'Hey babe, would you like to come over for dinner?'

'Ya! I'd love that! :)'

'Great I'll pick you up at 6.'

'K. See ya then! :*'

';*'

I put my phone away. I hope this dinner goes ok.

-Jamie's P.O.V.-

I was watching an episode of Weird, True, and Freaky on animal planet when I got a text from Marco.

'Hey babe, would you like to come over for dinner?'

'Ya! I'd love that! :)'

'Great I'll pick you up at 6.'

'K. See ya then! :*'

';*'

I jumped up off the couch and ran to my room to find something to wear. It was 4:27pm. So I had an hour and a half to get ready.

I grabbed a blue short sleeved shirt and a pair of white short shorts. Then ran to the bathroom to take a quick shower. When u got out I curled my hair and applied some eye liner, eye shadow, and mascara. Just as I finished I hear the roar of Marco's truck out front. He was 5 minutes early which was normal for him.

I grabbed my white toms and ran to get to the door. He had his hand up to knock as I threw the door open and jumped into him. He was a little shocked but still caught me.

He chuckled. I smashed my lips against his. My arms were around his neck. After a few seconds he broke the kiss, "I'll take that as you missed me."

I smiled "Maybe just a little." He carried me to his truck and placed me in the passenger seat. He climbed in. The truck roared to life and pulled away from the curb.

******************************

We pulled into the driveway. There way a car I didn't recognized parked by the curb.

"Whose car is that, Marco?" I asked. If I'd known there was going to be other people here I would have dressed more formally.

"Just an old friend." he muttered. Something was off by the way he said it. But I wasn't going to question it. We walked inside.

"Oh Jamie dear, you look lovely." exclaimed Mrs. Smith. I blushed. it was then that I saw a girl about my height with blonde hair and green eyes talking with Josh. Marco slid his hand into mine and intertwining our fingers.

The girl looked somewhat familiar to me but I couldn't exactly place her though. She looked at our hands and glared at me. I looked up at Marco who was glaring at her.

"Thank you, Mrs. Smith. You look lovely as well."

"Thank you dear. This," she walked towards the girl, "is Grace Ferland." That's when it clicked. Grace was Marco's ex-girlfriend. "Grace this is Jamie Tylers."

"My girlfriend." Marco throws in. Grace's eyes widen and she glared at me as if she's going to kill me. I don't care.

"It's nice to meet you Grace." I state politely.

"It's nice to meet you as well Jamie." she responds through her teeth. I could tell she was jealous of me. Marco lead me over to the table.

***************************

The dinner was quiet for the most part. I kept catching Marco looking at me and Grace glaring at me. when dinner was over Marco and I went out front and sat on the lawn. Shortly after we did Grace followed.

"So how long have you two been dating?" she asked. Marco grabbed me hand again.

" Since earlier this morning." Marco answered. I just sat there silently.

"How could you do this to me, Marco?"

"I didn't do anything to you, Grace."

"Yes you did! Your dating that skank."

"Don't go there, Grace. If your going to start shit you can leave."

She huffed and stormed towards her car. As she drove away, I turned to Marco.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what?" his hand cupping my cheek. I placed my hand on his.

"Why didn't you tell me she was your ex?"

"Oh....I didn't think it was important." he answered. I felt like crying. Why didn't he think it was important? I turned away from him and walked towards the front door. I felt his arms wrap around me and his head rest on my shoulder.

"I didn't mean to upset you." he mumbled into my neck.

"I just feel like you only wanted to date me to get away from your crazy ex." I could feel my eyes starting to water. Marco turned me around. I looked down at the grass. His hand pulled my chin up so I was looking at his face.

"That's not why I asked you out. I did invite you to dinner so I didn't have her all over me. I asked you out because I've had a crush on you since grade school."

"Really?"

"Yes really, Jamie." he pulled me into him and hugged me tightly. I felt safe and happy. I could stay like this forever.
