Marcus: do you mind staying here or do you want to go out somewhere?
Me: na it's alright we can stay.
I was now at Marcus apartment since he wanted to talk. I sat in the kitchen watching him as he sat down biting his teeth as if he was in pain.
Me: what happened to you?
Marcus: don't act like you don't already know.
Me: Tyree didn't hurt you that bad did he?
Marcus: your other boyfriend did though.
I raised my eyebrows at him.
Marcus: I didn't ask you to come here and talk about that though.
Me: what then?
Marcus: I just wanna apol-
He stopped mid sentence as someone walked into the kitchen area.
?: Who's this?
Marcus: imarni.
?: I thought you and J weren't kool anymore?
Marcus: don't worry. Marni's kool.
The guy slowly nodded looking at me then grabbed something out of the fridge walking out.
Me: what happened after that night?
Marcus: nothing.
Me: I'm done with everybody lying to me so you need to tell me the truth.
Marcus: don't worry about it. As I was saying before, I apologise for that night. It wasn't supposed to end like that. I know I was in the wrong with the way I came at you but I just wanted to know why you treat me the way you do. I know Jamal had feelings for you and he had plans with you that's why I wanted to clear the air between us because he was my boy and I didn't want us to be awkward. I guess it didn't come off that way though because I was a little tipsy.
Me: I forgive you.
Marcus: I know it's a bit different now because me and your boy aren't on talking terms but I still don't want you to be my enemy. I think you're a cool person.
Me: what are you trying to say right now because none of you are telling me what's happened since that night?
Marcus: fine, I'll tell you. You were obviously mad at him for defending me when I was in the wrong with you. So he came to my house and took it out on me. I was caught off guard cause I was still in pain from the fight on new years eve.
Me: so he beat you up?
He shrugged his shoulders looking away as if he was hurt. Why do these guys always think violence is the answer?
Me: I'm sorry.
Marcus: you don't need to apologise. I just expected different from him since we were boys for a long time.
Me: have you two even spoke?
Marcus: na. I don't wanna hear from him anymore.
For some reason I was starting to feel sorry for him even though this whole thing started because of him.
?: Marcus I've got you some food.
I looked up as another girl walked in. She stopped in her tracks screwing me.
?: I'm guessing he sent you to apologise?
Me: what?
Marcus: T leave it. Thank you.
She gave him the food walking out, not before giving me a side eye stare.
Me: what was that about?
Marcus: she was there when he came the other day.
I sighed out trying to find a way to change the subject because this topic is only making me more annoyed at Jamal.
Me: She likes you.
Marcus: na. That's my friend.
Me: trust me, I'm a female I should know.
He smirked shaking his head in denial.
Marcus: it's not like that between us.
Me: did you ask for that food?
Marcus: no but so what?
Me: but she got you it anyway.
Marcus: please stop. I don't want to be looking at her different now cause it will make it awkward.
I laughed as he brushed off everything I was saying.
Marcus: so what's going to happen now?
Me: we're going to keep working on our assignment together until it's finished.
Marcus: good.
Me: and just so you know, I don't have any issues with you, I just didn't appreciate how you went back and told Jamal I was on the phone to tyree when we met up that day.
Marcus: how did you even find out I told him?
Me: I'm a female. I know everything. And you also lied to me about Rhiannon.
Marcus: I know for a fact that if the roles were reversed and it was you and your friend you would've reacted the same way I did in both situations.
Me: that's not the point.
Marcus: exactly so you can't blame me. I just had loyalties to my friend. Obviously his loyalty to me wasn't the same.
I felt the tension as he bought jamal up again.
Me: maybe you two should talk. I'll speak to him about it.
Marcus: na it's all good.
Me: this is all happening because of me and I don't want a good friendship to be lost because of it.
Marcus: all he cares about anymore is keeping you so as long as he's got you, I don't matter.
Me: well he's lost me so he has no choice.
He sat back widening his eyes at me.
Marcus: you broke up with him?
Me: of course I did. He attacked Tyree for no reason.
He leaned back widening his eyes again as if he was going to fall off the chair.
Marcus: that was Tyree?
I laughed nodding my head.
Me: you're so extra.
Marcus: so Jamal's blaming me for what happened when I know he wanted to fight with Tyree long before that night so him jumping in wasn't just for me. It was cause he wanted an excuse to fight him.
Me: I know that already.
Marcus: then fuck him. This was his own fault and he tried to put it on me.
Me: you can't act like you didn't start the fight though.
Marcus: I didn't ask him to jump in.
I rolled my eyes throwing my hands up in surrender.
Me: all three of you are crazy.
Marcus: are we still on for tomorrow?
I nodded getting up to go.
Marcus: I appreciate you coming to speak to me.
Me: and I appreciate you apologising especially with everything else that happened.
