„So, you and Mary worked things out?“-Marvin asked as he and Aston were cleaning up next morning.
„Kind of. She still doesn't want a relationship and she didn't wanna tell me why. She avoids to talk about it.“- he replied.
„But you're not giving up, right?“
„No, I've never felt anything like this for anyone. I'll keep on insisting until she lets her guard down.“- Aston said. They heard Mary walking down.
„How is the sleeping beauty?“-he teased her with a big smile.
„Can you keep your voice down, please?“-she whispered.
„Oh, someone drank a little too much?“-Marvin continued to tease her.
„I'm not used to drinking so it got fast to my head. I feel like it's going to explode.“-she looked around the room.-„Why didn't you wake me up to help you? I was the one who invited people“
„We wanted to let you get some sleep. It was nice of you to invite all our families so we it felt right that we clean it up.“-Marvin replied.
„Well I'm awake now, so let's finish your work“-she said.
Few hours later they cleaned the entire house. They were exausted so they just fell asleep all together in the living room. Marvins phone wake them up.
„I won't be at home tonight. I'm going out with some friends.“-he said after he finished the phone call.
„Are you leaving me too?“-Mary looked at Aston.
„No, I don't have any plans.“-he smiled.
„Well, you two have fun, I'm going to get dressed.“-Marvin winked.
„What do you want to eat? I can make a dinner for us.“-Mary said.
„I have a better idea. Why don't we go out to a dinner?“-he asked.
„Are you asking me out?“-she teased.
„Maybe. But we can go as friends, too.“-Aston suggested.
„Ok. Is an hour enough for you to get ready?“
„Yes“-Aston smiled.
„You look amazing.“-Aston said as they looked at menu in a restaurant.
„You've said it so many times tonight. Are you drunk?“-she asked looking at him.
„Why are you so hard on accepting a compliment? I'm saying the truth.“-he smiled.
„Ok, I'll try my best to believe you.“-the waiter came and they ordered some food.
„Can I ask you something personal?“-Mary said when they started to eat.
„Of course, spill it“
„Why are you still single?“-she suprised him with that question.
„I don't know. I guess I haven't find someone interesting enough to imagine myself being in a relationship.“-he answered seriously.
„Really? You? There must hundreds of girls who would do anything to be with you? Are you sure there isn't anyone?“-she kept asking.
„Actually, there is. And you know who it is so stop talking like you don't know anything.“-Aston replied.
„Yes, but I also told you that it cannot happen. I thought you moved on.“
„I can't move on that fast, I don't want to. And you never gave me a valid reason.“-he insisted.
„Can we please stop talking about it? It'll ruin the night.“-Mary begged.
„You're avoiding it again. I'll let it go for now but you're going to have to tell me soon.“-Aston warned her. They ate their meal and had fun the rest of the night.
„So, did you enjoy tonight?“-Aston asked as they came back home.
„Yes, I did. It was nice“-she smiled.-„Did you enjoy?“
„Yeah, and I'd like to do it again sometimes. Good night!“-he said.
„Good night!“-she came closer to him wanting to kiss him on the cheek but when she looked him in the eyes she saw something. It made her stop and turn around walking into her room wondering how long she'll be able to reject him.
