Chapter 4

I am sitting and reading a book on my tablet when my phone rings. I smile seeing that it's Marcus. "Hola Marcus." I say. "Hola little bird." he says. "How was your ride?" I ask. "It was good. Wishing I was still there but it was good." he tells me. "Good. I wish you were still here too. I enjoyed spending time with you today." I tell him. "I'm glad. Maybe it will convince you to say yes." he tells me and I smile. "You know what Gilly asked me?" I ask. "What's that?" he asks. "He asked me if I said yes to you would that make me Madrina?" I ask laughing. "It would." he tells me. "Wow." I say. "Rosa..." he starts. "Marcus, I wasn't under the illusion that being with you would be easy. I know there's a lot of danger and a lot of responsibility to being your Old Lady." I say. "I just hope that knowledge doesn't make you say no." he tells me. "I'm not a stranger to danger or responsibility mi amor." I tell him. "Good. But I promise I'll make it worth it." he tells me. "And of that I have no doubt." I tell him. "Are you in your dorm?" he asks. "I am." I say. "Look in the nightstand." he says. I open the nightstand drawer and see a small box. Opening the box, I see a beautiful silver necklace with a dove pendant on it. "Oh my God. Marcus. It's beautiful." I tell him. "I saw it the day after I met you and knew its place was with you." he tells me. "It's perfect Marcus. Thank you." I tell him. I put my phone on speaker and put the necklace on before picking my phone back up. "I have it on now." I tell him. "Good. Now you have something from me when we're not together." he tells me. "You know you don't have to buy me things. I already like you." I tell him. "I'm glad but you deserve to be spoiled." he tells me. "You're already better to me than anyone else has been. I like you a lot Marcus." I tell him. "I hope so bebita." he says. I start to yawn and he says "You better get some rest little bird. You have a lot of thinking to do tomorrow and I will be back the day after." he tells me. "I look forward to it." I tell him. "Duerme dulce pajarito." he tells me. "Sleep sweet mi amor." I tell him before we get off the phone. I look at the necklace he gave me and I can't help but smile.

The next morning, I wake up and see a text from Marcus.

M: Good morning mi amor.

R: Good morning baby.

M: Going to be a busy day but I'll call you tonight.

R: I'll be here. Please be safe today. I need you back here whole.

M: I will little bird. Talk to you tonight.

R: Tonight my love.

I look at my phone and wonder if this is what it's like to be the one he loves. I shake my head at that thought. I know he cares and he's tired of being alone but the thought of him loving me? That won't happen. We need each other. I get up and head to the main room for coffee. I take the cup that the sweetbutt fills up and walk over to one of the couches and Taza comes over and sits beside me. "Beautiful necklace." he says. I touch the dove and say "It was a gift from Marcus." He looks at me and smiles but doesn't see me smiling. "You want to talk about it?" he asks. I look at him and say "Marcus asked me to be his Old Lady." I say. "And you don't want that?" he asks. "It's not that. I've been thinking about it and he's been amazing to me so far. I know this life can get dangerous and I think he's worth it but then I start wondering if the way he is with me is what it's like the be the one he loves and I know this is just us giving each other what we need." I tell him. "And you don't think love is something you both need?" he asks. "I do but I don't know if that's something that will happen for us." I say. "I wouldn't count that out. Him asking you to be his Old Lady is a big step. But he's loyal and faithful. I've known him for a long time and if he's asking you to be his? He's already there sweetheart." he tells me. "You think so?" I ask. "I do and the fact that you're even thinking about him and love? That tells me you are too." he says. I look at him and smile. "Thanks Taza." I say before kissing his cheek and getting up. I walk out to the office to get to work and I know what my answer is going to be for Marcus. Now, if tomorrow will get here.
