Sidelined: Part 1

Hey, readers!😍 The time has come to witness the life/ relationship between Desiree and Marcus🔥. This is going to be a short mini series called Sidelined. I got inspiration from the the song The Weekend by my girl Sza so, I'm pretty sure you'll know the plot already😊. Ah...I love drama.

Lol, but a few changes. Marcus is now played by someone different..., in which I will keep as a secret for now. I know I know the previous Marcus was gorgeous and I feel you on that but it makes sense for this other particular person to play in Sidelined. Hint hint.

Alright, without further ado...let's get into the story.

"--well. I think we may have a solid case on our hands since the officers failed to get a warrant for investigation. Therefore, whatever illegal contraband they were able to find in your property, isn't relevant. Those items will not be held against you mister Gonzalez. I will re--"

*Buzz Buzz*

*clears throat* "Excuse me" I said, picking up my phone to turn it on silent. I couldn't help but to notice what Marcus just texted me, since it was visable under my notification bar. It read;

Marc💋🏈: I'm coming home tonight😚 b there around 10:30 after my game. U better be watiching it😩🏈

A smile drew across my face but I immediately had to handle my business professionally with my new client. A lot has changed for me after I turn 20 years old, now I'm 24 with a good career and labeled as a side b*tch.

Yep. Marcus is no longer my man, not really a shocker honestly since we were always off and on. He's in a relationship however, not in a committed one though. He still loves me and I still love him too of course but now he's trying to "give me my space". Which is not really the case if I see him often and...if we still do things under the sun. It's not like I'm desperate to be his woman again, He's the one that came back to me. Woman and all. Sadly, I didn't deny his love and affection like I should've but it's just complicated.

A woman gets lonely up here in Manhattan and I could care less about his "girlfriend". When me and Marcus broke up, she was there being a bitch. Coming at me and sticking her nose in my business. Even calling out my family on her social media. My mom wanted to whoop her ass as you can imagine but it's whatever.

As far as me and Marcus, we broke up about 2 years ago after he gave me that promise ring. We started arguing a lot due to our both busy schedules. I thought he was cheating and he thought I was doing same, but in reality we were just working a lot. After we broke up though, I was able to pursue my career in Law as a lawyer in New York. Sadly I had to leave my city and my family behind but I had to grow up someday. I miss my mom and dad so much but I'm pretty sure they're enjoying the alone time if you know what I mean.

"So the drugs that they found won't be held against me in court?" he asked, getting my attention again.

"No sir. It was not their place to raid your home without the right paperwork and that is something I will definitely bring up in the courts. Is there any other questions?"

"Yeah, do you have a boyfriend? Someone keep making you smile on that phone, I'm quite surprise that it isn't me" The tall Mexican man stroked his chin with a smile.

I blushed. "I'm sorry but I like to keep my personal life at a minimum. I'm all about being professional and my phone going off wasn't so, I apologize for that"

"Oh that's cool, ma. I was just um--checking you out. I think you're beautiful"

"Thank you"
