Forever (Fiolee)

Chapter 24: Apologies & Forgiveness

Fionna POV

I was on my way home. I would say that the past few days have been great but then I would be lying. I don't know how he managed to do it. It's like he can control my emotions by simply being there or not, like in this case. I know what I said was wrong and I'm sorry but I don't know what else to do besides apologize.

I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't even pay attention to where I was going and bumped into someone.

"I'm so sorry," I apologized. Funny. That seems like all I'm doing these days.

"It's fine," a familiar voice said.

"Marshall?" I was surprised. Who wouldn't be? The guy that's supposedly mad at me is now standing in front of my house.

"We need to talk," he simply answered. I nodded, quickly opened the front door, and headed towards the living room with him following close behind.

"What is it?" I asked after we both sat down on the couch.

"Look..." he started, "I'm sorry."

I was about to open my mouth and ask what he was sorry for but he cut me off.

"Please let me finish," I nodded.
"I'm sorry for pushing you away. I know I overreacted and I-I..."

"I forgive you even though I wasn't mad at you in the first place," I cut him off. And he gave me the most breathtaking smile. I mean the guy is already good looking but that smile. Breath Fionna! He's only your friend.

"You should smile more often," I blurted out. Why did I just say that? He just looked at me shock clearly evident on his face and my cheeks turned red from embarrassment.

"Don't worry I will..." I couldn't quite hear what he said afterwards but I think it was something along the lines 'As long as I'm with you'. But that can't be. I mean Friends don't say things like that to each other. Right? And he wouldn't say that to me anyway. Right? Why are so many questions in head? Ughh!

"We should totally hang out and do something today. I mean you don't have to. I'm not making you. I was just suggesting because you know...I mean..uhh," Marshall laughed. What? He thought this was funny? I was totally making a fool out of myself and he's laughing!? "Haha! Really funny," I rolled my eyes and he finally stopped.

"Aww, stop being such a grumpy bunny. But I have to admit you're too adorable when you're mad," and he pinched my cheek. I was going to snap at him, hit him and tell him to stop but I didn't want to. For some reason I liked it this way. It may sound weird but it's true. I missed this. I missed this a lot.

"Let's go eat ice cream!" I yelled enthusiastically. Marshall just gave me a weird look and mumbled "bipolar" or something.

I grabbed his hand and dragged him with me.

"You're weird. You know that right," Marshall said now standing beside me.

"Nope," I answered popping the 'p'. "I just missed this."

"Miss what?" he asked.

"Hanging out with you. Teasing each other...and you," I said truthfully. Did that sound too not-friends-but-more like? I mean friends say they missed each other right? What is going on with me and all these questions today?

I looked up at Marshall and he smiled. One of his rare real smiles and his eyes weren't red or black, they were dark brown now. And he looked truly happy.

I love this. Making him happy. It makes me feel special. What does that mean?
