~Aileen's P.O.V~
"Yeah we started talking a lot, it was so funny, I showed him the Nancy video!" Ashley boasted to me, she kept taking about how Marlon got an Instagram and kept talking to her. To be honest, maybe it was too early to get jealous? Not like this was new, Ashley did this all the time to me. "Cool." I said, my eyes were focused on one thing only, and that was Marlon walking our way. "God he looks so hot- wait, what?" I thought in my mind, before Ashley shattered my thoughts. "Stop staring, oh, never mind, keep staring at your lover." She waved her hand and started talking to Danyelle. I cringed, "Lover?"
He strode over when the bell rang and hugged me, "Bye," he said. I waved. He looked back and smiled a little, then went on, I couldn't wait till I got home.
|A Few Hours Later|
I excitedly squealed as I ran into my room to retrieve my iPad to talk to him on Instagram. I quickly logged in and followed him, he followed me a few minutes later and I texted,
"Hi"
"Hey"
"Wyd"
"Legit staring at my ceiling"
The conversations went like that, not meaningful until something happened and he told me, "I was afraid to as you out because I thought you'd reject me, I cried myself to sleep thinking the worst." Marlon was such a softie, I texted him saying, "I wasn't planning on saying no." The texts went on until a part where I told him,
"I could listen to your voice forever and never get bored."
I wanted to be alone one day, and when I came home he texted me, "Hey babe, are you okay?"
My heart leaped out of my chest, I texted back, "Yeah I'm fine, was it because I wanted to be alone at lunch?" He retorted, "No, just checking on you." For a few minutes I dint say anything, just staring at the ceiling and thanking God for this boy. Our conversations stopped, and then suddenly, "I love you." The blood rushed to my face, and I felt weak everywhere, I could picture his blush texting that. I wrote back, "I love you too, maybe even more."
