Edith didn't know what she was thinking letting Marcus kiss her.
He had a girlfriend.
He had Maria.
She ran her hand through her long brown hair as she paced around her room. Marcus had left and so she was alone with her thoughts.
It was near 6pm, which is when Willie usually came around so they could talk.
"Hey." He smiled letting himself in, like usual. "What's up?" He questioned noticing how stressed Edith looked. "And who gave you them?" He pointed towards the hickeys.
Edith's fingers trialed over them and looked up to Willie.
"I kissed Marcus." She paused. "Marcus kissed me." She mumbled, her fingers tracing over her lips in disbelief.
She let a grin form on her face. She sat down on the bed, Willie smiled at the girl, before sitting down next to her.
"And..." Willie knew she had more to say.
"And he's dating Maria." Edith mumbled rolling her eyes. "So it's not like anything can happen."
"She's gonna find out eventually. Whether it be from a heated argument or guilt. She will find out." Willie said turning to face the girl.
Edith ran her hands over her face and let out a groan, she was in trouble. Big trouble.
"I know but-"
"Talk to Marcus Edith."
Edith knew what he said was her best option so she nodded and left her room.

She headed over to Marcus' room and knocked on the door, there was a slight pause before he eventually called out,
"Two minutes!" Marcus sounded busy almost hectic.
Edith rested all her weight on one leg and bit her nails nervously, she didn't know what she was going to say or how she was going to say it.
By the time she'd almost convinced herself that coming to his room was a bad idea the door swung open.
"Edith?" He mumbled almost breathlessly, his hair a mess and his lips swollen.
"Edith?" Maria questioned, walking up behind Marcus in just her bra and jeans.
Tears began to form in her eyes but she managed to hold them in just enough to hide from Maria. Edith nodded as if his actions had told her more than his words ever would and then she turned to walk away.
"Wait, E!"
Marcus sprinted out of his room, but Edith had broken out into a run too, finally her hot tears burning down her cheeks.
