„Hi! What's going on with Aston?“-Marvin said hugging Mary.
„We had an argument.“-Mary replied.
„About what? What did he do this time?“-Marvin was worried.
„It looks like I did something now. He got upset about a picture where I kiss a guy.“-Mary wasn't sure how that sounded.
„I saw it too. What a suprise! You kept it a secret very well.“-Marvin winked.
„I'm not in a relationship, ok? It was a stupid bet we made and I had to kiss him, it wasn't even a real kiss.“-Mary was frustrated.
„Well it didn't look like that. Have you told this to Aston?“-Marvin asked.
„He didn't give me a chance to explain everything. He got upset so we raised our voices and argued. I shouldn't have to explain myself to him, he's not my boyfriend.“
„Just because you aren't in a relatinship, it doesn't mean you're both not falling for each other. It's so obvious that you can't even try to hide it.“-Marv shocked her.
„No, that can't happen. Not now, not like this.“-Mary looked down.
„Why not? What's stopping you?“
„Ghost from past.“-Mary got up.-„I have to talk to him again. Can you call the boys here while I talk to Aston. I need to show you the real suprise.“-Mary smiled.
„Ok, I'll call you when they arive.“

Aston was lying on his bed while some tears fell down his cheeks. He didn't expect to fall in love with Mary like this. He heard a knock on his door so he wiped away the tears.
„Come in!“-he said expecting Marvin.
„Hey“-Mary said in a low voice.-„May I come in?“
„Yeah, sit here“-Aston replied.
„Look, I came here to apologize. I'm sorry that I yelled on you. I didn't like your tone and questions so I took it all out on you.“-she tried to smile.
„It's ok. I lost my temper too.“
„I'm really not in a relationship right now. I don't have a boyfriend because I'm not ready right now. Like I told you, it was a stupid bet. I just kissed him on the lips, it wasn't a real kiss.“-Mary explained.
„You don't have to explain anything. Like you said, I'm not your boyfriend.“-Aston said it with grief. Mary took his hand in hers.
„Look at me. If I could be with someone right now, it would be you. It's just not good time for me now.“- Mary smiled.
„Why?“-he begged.
„Believe me, I know what I'm doing. Maybe sometimes in future we'll be together. If we don't, then it was never meant to be.“-Mary rubbed his hand.
„Guys come down, JB and Oritse are here!“-Marvin shouted.
„Let's go. I have a suprise to show you.“-Mary smiled.
