Forever His

The doctor was right I needed sleep. As soon Marcus parked the car I was out and moving towards the house. I was tired and I really needed my bed. I walked into the house and heard footsteps running down the stairs. Devon stopped at the bottom and looked at me.

“oh my god” was all he said before running towards me. I didn’t thought for a second as soon as I was on Devon’s arms I wrapped my legs around him and rested my head on his shoulder and let the tears flow.

I didn’t know why I was crying, maybe I was too tired, maybe was the shock  wearing off. all I know is that I wanted  to go to my bed and sleep.

“thanks for taking care of her Marcus, I will take it from here ” Devon said.

“was nothing” al friendliness had left Marcus voice. I for once was too tired to care for Marcus James at the moment. I wince at my own thoughts Marcus had taken care of me and I was acting like a bitch.

I let go of Devon and walked towards Marcus.

“thank you for everything Marcus, I will never be able to thank you enough” I said, getting on my tip toes I touched my lips to Marcus, but his eyes and expression never soften. Whatever progress I made with Marcus was lost in matter of seconds. I grabbed my back from him and walked to my room.

 I got into my room and walked straight into the shower. I let the hot water wash away every thought and lose every sore muscle.  As I got ready for bed I couldn’t help the thoughts of Marcus, he was sweet and then he will turn hard as a stone.

I felt sleep trying to figured out the puzzle that was Marcus James.

Marcus

I could had just left. It would have been better. the fact that she had turn to Devon’s arms right away made my blood boil. She had wrapped herself around him like he was her lifesaver. And a spark of jealousy had hit me so fast and hard. I didn’t had time to react.

“Marcus I don’t know how to thank you”

“how could you let her go?” I said running my hand through my hair. I was going to act the only why I knew, I was going to be an asshole to my best friend.

“wow, when did this became my fault?”

“she is your best friend” I said starting to lose my patience

“and so are you”

“but you should be caring about her”

“I do, but why don’t you tell me what is really bothering you?” Devon said crossing his arms over his chest

“it bother me that she could had die. The least you could had done was call me so I knew she was coming I would not had lost half of my life when I found her on the road” I was almost yelling.

“I didn’t know ok. She ask me about you, I told her you had already left less than 2 hours later she is out the door. How was I supposed to stop her.” Devon took a deep breath, his blue eyes look straight at me “you don’t know her like I do Marcus. Danielle is a force of nature and when she wants something she goes and get it, doesn’t matter what. and right now she want you”

“I'm not gonna be daddy’s little girl flavor of the week”

“wow Marcus you really don’t know her, makes me wonder how can you be in love with someone you don’t really know” Devon smirk “what you thought I couldn’t see it, its all over your face every time you look at her, the way your face turn to stone when she hugged me. on the way you took that little step when you heard her stared to cry. You love her”

“how about you?”

“what about me?” Devon said turning towards the kitchen.

“you love her too”

“of course I do. She is my best friend, we been join by the hip since 7th grade. There is nothing in this world I wouldn’t do for that girl”

“I know that and you know that that was not what I meant”

“actually I don’t know Marcus why don’t you enlighten me”

“you love her because she is your best friend, but between you and I, best friend to best friend. Dare to look me in the face and deny me that not only you love her…” Devon’s eyes got wide as he knew what I was getting at

“dare to tell me you are not in love with Danielle Steel”
