I woke up to my alarm and moaned. I looked over at my phone and noticed a message from Marcus. I smiled to myself and I then, got dressed into an oversized shirt, ripped jeans and heels. I straightened my hair and put on some makeup. There was a knock on the door and Elliot walked in.
           "Damn." He said, "I was hoping I'd get to see you naked."
            I rolled my eyes and grabbed my bag.
           "Do you want a ride to school?" He asked me snaking his arm around my waist. He placed a soft kiss on the corner of my mouth.
           "No." I said pulling away, "a friend is picking me up."
         "Oh." He said looking at me.
           I heard the honk of a horn and I smiled at Elliot. "I'll see you later."
           He looked at me as I left.
            Marcus got out and opened the door for me. I smiled and hugged him before getting into the car. Elliot glared from the doorway as we drove off.
          "Is that Elliot?" Marcus asked me as we continued to drive.
           "Yeah." I nodded.
           "Oh. I got you something."  He smiled and handed me a cup and straw. I took a sip and it was a strawberry milkshake.
           "Ohmigod." I said with a grin. "You're the best."
          I looked at Marcus and I saw his face start to get red. I don't know what I was feeling but it was different than whatever I felt for Elliot. We finally got to the school and Marcus parked the car. I got out and stretched doing a small moan.
          Marcus looked at me and laughed, "god your cute." He smiled.
          I laughed a little and then smiled, "You're pretty cute too."
          "Maybe.." he paused stepping close to me. He put one hand on my cheek. "Maybe I can take you out again."
          "Yeah." I smiled, "I'd like that."
          "Great." He smiled kissing my forehead. "Do you want to grab something on our lunch?"
          "Yeah." I nodded.
           "Great. I'll see it then." He smiled at me then walked off. He turned towards me, "Shit. Do you want help finding your classes?"
           "Please?" I asked him with a laugh.
           "Of course." He jogged back towards me and grabbed my hand. For some reason my hand fit perfectly into his. There was butterflies in my stomach and he looked down at me.
        As we walked into the school, eyes stared at us. Girls who obviously liked Marcus burned holes into me and whispered. Marcus didn't seem to know that they were starring because he looked down at me with a smile. As we got to my first class, Marcus kisses my forehead.
       "I'll be here to help you with your next class." He said giving my hand another squeeze.
       "Thanks, Marcus." I smiled up at him.
        "Anytime baby." He said and walked away after giving me one last forehead kiss. "Try and have a nice first class."
         I turned and saw Mila, Payton and Elliot walking towards me. Elliot looked hurt and turned around walking the other direction. I rolled my eyes as Mila and Payton walked to me.
       "Hey girl." Mila said and hugged me. "We have this class together."
        "At least I'll know someone." I smiled at her.
       Payton kisses her forehead and then walked away without saying anything.
        "So, you and Marcus?" Mila asked as we walked into the room. Eyes stained at me and I heard whispering.
        "I don't really know." I shrugged.
        "Elliot seemed surprised. He was like angry." She said and then sat in a chair. I sat next to her.
       "We had sex again last night." I mentioned, "but he said some shit about Monica."
        "Damn." Mila said.
         Elliot walked into the room with Monica in tow. They held hands and she kissed his cheek. Elliot and I locked eyes for a second. He leaned down and kissed Monica.
          "Son of a bitch." I swore causing Mila to look.
          "He's dumb." Mila said. "Don't let him bother you."

The rest of the classes went by fast. Marcus waited outside every class for me to finish. After Elliot and Monica walked into first block I got ticked. So, every time I saw Marcus I hugged him and kissed his cheek. He would smile and grasp my hand and then walked with me.
         When it was finally lunch, Marcus smiled as he led me to the car. Elliot was standing there waiting.
          "Amara, we should probably talk." Elliot said stepping towards me.
        Marcus looked down at me, squeezing my hand. I smiled up at him.
       "Make it quick Elliot. I have a lunch date." I said then turned toward Marcus, "I'll be right there."
          Marcus nodded and kissed my forehead before glaring at Elliot. "Okay, baby."
        I watched at Marcus go over to a group of guys who was obviously his friends. I noticed he would look over at us for a bit and then turn back toward his friends.
          "So, you're sleeping with him huh?" Elliot asked me snapping me back to him.
          "No, Elliot but I feel like that's none of your business." I snapped at him.
          Elliot rolled his eyes, "Yeah like I'd believe you."
          "Then why did you ask." I said getting annoyed.
           "You're trying to make me jealous huh?" He asked me stepping towards me.
           "Says the guy who was all over Monica this morning. Plus I saw those hickies this morning. And I know for a fact that I'm not the one who left them. So what, after you were done fucking me you called your whore Monica?" I hissed. "Elliot you're such a joke."
            "Whatever." Elliot said turning toward where Marcus was. "Go have fun with your little fling."
           "Elliot, fuck you." I said.
           "You're just a little slut." He hissed.
           I don't know what came over me but I was filled with anger. I reached up and slapped him. Hard. A mark was left on his face. Marcus must have seen because he was starting towards us.
           "Dumb bitch." Elliot snapped then held his face.
              "Elliot, you better get going." Marcus said stepping between us.
       "Have fun with your cheap whore." Elliot snapped at Marcus, "She is a great fuck. And that's all she is good for."
         "I said to get out of here." Marcus's voice boomed shoving Elliot away.
         Some of Marcus's friends headed over. Elliot saw them then turned towards us. He looked like he was going to say something but didn't. He just left.
           Marcus turned towards me, "are you okay?"
         I nodded looking up at him. I noticed he was towering over me. His hands on my upper arms.
         "Do you have any classes for the rest of the day?" He asked me.
           "No." I said shaking my head.
           "Okay," he smiled down at me. "Neither do I. I want to take you some place."
           I nodded, "I just want to take a shower before we do anything."
           "Okay." He nodded back and opened my door for me. I got in and we drove by the house. I grabbed clothes and walked back outside because Marcus offered for me to shower at his place.
          We finally got to a small cottage type house and Marcus opened the door for me. I walked up to the door and it swing open. A little girl about 3 stood there arms wide open.
           "Marc!!" She yelled running into the porch and Marcus picked her up. Bear hugging her.
         "Hello, beautiful." Marcus said.
         "Who is that girl with you?" She whispered but loud enough for me to hear.
         "Hello, my name is Amara." I said leaning towards her. "What's your name?"
        "Nailia." She blushed.
        "A beautiful name for a beautiful little girl." I said causing her to blush.
        "I like her, Marc. " She turned toward Marcus.
         Marcus sat her down and smiled at her then me. "Get out of here."
       Nailia ran down the hall way. "Make sure you come back." She called. She got to the kitchen, "momma, Marcus brought home a really nice girl. And she is beautiful."
        I couldn't help but blush. Marcus smiled at me. " you can meet my mom. She is pretty cool. I'll get your things ready for a shower."
           "Thank you, Marcus." I said kissing his cheek. "I appreciate it."
             "Of course, baby." He said grabbing the bag I had in my hand. And jogged upstairs.
             I walked down the hallway that Nailia went down. Photos hung up on the wall. A younger Marcus in a football jersey. And one of him and his sister in matching outfits. I noticed another one of Marcus and what seemed like his parents and sister. I smiled at them. I then continued to walk and turn into the kitchen.
               A women in her early 40s stood over the sink peeling potatoes.
               "Do you need any help?" I offered to help her walking towards her.
               "Oh honey. I appreciate it but I got it." She turned towards me whipping her hands on a dish towel.
               "I'm Amara." I stuck my hand out to shake her hand.
               "Oh honey I'm a hugger." She said pulling me into a hug.
                 "I do like hugs, Mrs. Johnson." I said hugging her back.
              "Oh dear, call me Bri." She said.
       Marcus came down stair and smiled at me as his mom and I talked about my first day at college.
             "Hey." Marcus said walking towards me, "Ma, I was going to let Amara shower really quick. Her and her one roommate were in an argument. So, I felt that she could just relax here until later."
              " Oh," Bri gave Marcus a kiss on his cheek, "you're too good for this world." She turned towards me, "honey,
you can stay here as long as you need."
              "Thanks you." I smiled at her.
               Marcus grabbed my hand, "we will be down for dinner."
               "Okay honey." She said turning her back to us as she finished up dinner.
               We walked upstairs and Marcus showed me where the shower was and the towel he left for me to use. My clothes were folded up on the counter.
            "Marcus." I said as Marcus was about to leave the room, "you're mom is nice."
      "I'm glad you like her." He said looking me over again.
       "About what Elliot said-" I started but Marcus cut me off.
       "Amara," he stepped towards me. He placed his hand on my cheek. "You are amazing and beautiful. Any guy would be lucky to have you. I don't give a fuck what that prick had to say about you. You are fucking amazing."
        "Marcus." I said looking up at him. He looked down at me.
             He smiled before he placed his lips onto mine. It was a nice slow soft kiss. His lips parted as he slipped his tongue between my lips. Our tongue faced together as he picked me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. I don't know why but this felt different from all the kissing I did with Elliot.  Elliot's kisses were rough and full of lust. Marcus's kisses were soft and caring. Like if he kissed me too hard I'd break.
            He placed me against the wall, one arm wrapped around my waist and the other held us up against the wall. The kiss got deepened a little. He pulled away and put his head against mine.
           "God," He said, "the way you make me feel."
             "Marcus." I said looking up at him.
             "God, you're so fucking beautiful." He said again. And kissed me one more time. His hand went to my hair as he turned and sat me down on the counter. He placed himself between my legs. One hand was in my hair and the other was on my thigh. He deepened the kiss then pulled my head back. He trailed kisses down my jaw line then to my neck. I snaked my fingers into his hair and let out a moan. I felt him smile against my neck but then he pulled away and smiled.
           "God, you're beautiful." He grinned and kissed me once more. "I'll let you shower before I have you right here."
            I smiled at him and watched as he left.

***
I sat at the table next to Marcus's sister, Nailia. She wanted to sit next to me Marcus sat across the table from me and his mom was next to him.  
          We are and talked and laughedZ after dinner Marcus and I offered to do the dishes.
           "Honey," his mom said kissing my cheek, "you should come over more often."
           "I'll come over whenever you want me to." I laughed as Marcus rolled his eye.
            "I'm going to go give your sister a bath and have her watch a movie while I relax." His mom said before leaving the room and calling Nailia.
            I started the dish water and started washing some of the dishes. Marcus came up behind me and began kissing my neck softly.
             "Marcus." I pleaded. I am not going to lie, it felt amazing. But I wanted to finish the dishes before his mom came down. "I just want to finish these."
             "Of course, baby." He smiled against my neck. He knew what he was doing to me but he wasn't planning on stopping anytime soon.
             "Marcus." I moaned his name as he continued.
             "Mmm." He said smiling again against my neck. "Mmm baby."
             I faced him and tired to kiss him but he pulled away.
              "Let's finish these dishes." He said and began ringing the dishes I washed.
             I rolled my eyes and finished the dishes. Marcus kissed my cheek before drying his hands off. His little sister came down.
            "Amara," She said grabbing onto my hand, "will you watch a movie with me?"
             "Of course." I said looking over at Marcus. "What do you want to watch, honey?"
           "Can we watch The little Mermaid?" She asked me.
         "That is my favorite Disney movie." I said sitting on the couch with Nailia as Marcus put the movie in.
         "Mine too." She said grabbing a blanket covering both of us up. Marcus sat next to me with the controller in his hand.
         The movie started and Nailia laud her head on my leg. Marcus smiled at me as he put his arm around me and onto my shoulders.
           "I'm sorry I didn't take you out." He said looking at me.
           "Shh." Nailia said as were were interrupting her movie.
          "I had fun today." I whispered into Marcus's ear.
            He smiled at me placing a kiss onto my lips, "I'm glad. Plus my mom loves you."
           I smiled against his lips then looked at Nailia who was now fast asleep. I pointed at her showing Marcus she was finally asleep. Marcus smiled at me as he picked her up and started carefully carrying her upstairs. He laid her into her bed and then kissed her forehead. I did the same and then he walked to his moms room. His mom laid in bed reading a book.
           "Nailia is asleep." He said walking into her room. I stood in the doorway.
          "Thank you, honey." She kissed Marcus's cheek. "Amara, come here silly girl."
           I walked towards her and she kissed my forehead.
            "Goodnight, Bri." I said with a smile.
            "Thank you honey." She said to me.
            "It's no problem." I said to her.
             "No, honey." She sat her book down, "this is the first time in a long time that my son not only brought a girl home but I have seen him smile like that."
            "Mom." Marcus said in an annoyed tone.
            "Okay honey, I will stop embarrassing you." His mom smiled at me, "but thank you Amara."
            "Of course, Bri." I said then walked with Marcus out of the room.
              Marcus lead me into his room and slipped his shirt off. "Is it okay?"
              "I won't complain." I smiled at him.
           I slipped the sweater I had on and my pants. I looked at him and he gave my an over sized tee-shirt. I slipped it on and then he pulled my to the bed. He wrapped his arms around me while he kissed me softly. He laid me next to him and continued to kiss me softly till my eyes got heavy.
          "Good night, beautiful." He said kissing me one last time.
          "Good night, Marcus." I said.
           His arms wrapped around my waste as I laid my head on his chest and drifted off to sleep.
