Oh my word! I think I like Marcus. I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out.

I've been living with Marcus for about three weeks now and ever since I moved in, we've gotten closer. I mean, I even sleep in the bed with him now. He doesn't know it, but I've kind of grown on him in a way. If he does know it, he hasn't addressed it. Overall, my feelings have gotten stronger for him and I didn't realize it until today.

Marcus was getting up to leave after we'd both been sitting in the living room watching TV.

"Where are you going," I fake pouted.

"Out." He pushed my lip back in.

I sighed. "I'm serious, Marcus. Where are you going?"

"I'm going on a date."

My eyes widened. "A date?"

He nodded his head.

A part of me was a bit jealous that he was taking another girl out, but then the other part felt like he deserved to be outside of the house.

"Don't wait up, ok," he says snapping me out of my thoughts.

I put on a fake smile. " 'Kay."

As soon as I heard the door close, I sighed heavily. I didn't want Marcus going out with anyone. I wanted him to myself. I actually like Marcus. I didn't know why it took me so long to realize this, but I do. I really do.....
