I stop at the end of the steps, watching Marcus walkover to Sitara. I had this feeling that I've never felt in a long time, but it's way stronger. Marcus' appearance was breathtaking, I examine his body and chills ran down my spine. He takes off his bag and jacket as he continues his conversation with Sitara. Oh shit, I caught myself looking at his arms and I realized it was my first time seeing them.

I smiled to myself knowing that he could protect me, and hold me with them. Sitara glanced over at me and smirked which led Marcus to turn around. I looked down quickly and went down the stairs to try not to make it obvious that I was looking at him. They continued their conversation once again and I canceled them out with the radio on my bench. Surprisingly, a metal song wasn't playing this time. It was "The night we met" I know it's some popular editing song that Sitara loves.

I continued to fidget with the lock until I see Sitara, from the corner of my eye, pace away from Marcus to the back towards Josh's area. I turn to the side to see Marcus puzzled while he slowly walks over to Josh's desk. I turn around and they weren't in my view because of the wall that's there. I turn back to Marcus and his facial expression changed from confused to astonished, which led me to walk over to him to see what was going on.

Sitara had her arms wrapped around Josh's neck, while he was around her waist. Then she pressed her head against his chest as they moved slowly back and forth. Both of their eyes were closed as they were smiling, then I realized that they were slow dancing together. They were both happy at this moment, I didn't want to ruin it so I grabbed Marcus's hand and led him to the bench. I wish I grabbed his hand to dance with him.

I looked at him and smiled, "They need each other."
Marcus nodded. "Like how..." he looked at the ground. "Never mind."
"What?" I tilt my head. "You can tell me, anything man."
"I was going to say, like how you and...Naomi needs each other, but I forgot that it happened." He sighed and looked back up at me. (/ \)
"Fuck, Oh Shit! Sorry man."
I recently broke up with Naomi, she found out something's that I've been trying to hide for a long time. I didn't love her anymore, I was so caught up in loving someone else. My sweetheart, Marky~Mark. But then I also miss the good times with Naomi.

I felt the tears coming so I took the mask off and placed it on the bench and Marcus pulls me into a hug. He squeezed me tightly, almost like a Sloth hanging to a tree.
"I'm sorry man. I know it hurts, I've been there." He soothes.
I got a little upset and I pull out of the hug, tears were streaming down my face. "No-... you haven't. Did a girl break you're heart with you because she couldn't accept.." I stop before I make anything worse.
"She..couldn't accept?" He raises his eyebrows.
I swallowed. "She.. found out that I was...."
Marcus looked more confused.
"That...I am .... gay, well...Pansexual."
He was the second person I confessed to, Naomi was first. I was terrified to know what his reaction would be after I saw Naomi's. She became Satan and started to cuss me out, which led to our break up. I can't believe I told my crush this, now I regret it more than ever. Well, I did ask him what he had to say, so this is my fault.

Marcus' jaw dropped and gave me a blank expression. I started to shake and I felt my anxiety rise, but then something changed. Marcus pulls me into a hug once again and rubbed my back. I started to cry, even more, knowing that someone accepted me for who I am. I felt the strong connection again, he hugged me for 30 seconds still rubbing my back. He let go and began talking.
"Wrench, nobody should leave you because of that. I'm totally fine with you liking guys, I've had a few friends that were gay and bisexual." He smiled. "You're always still gonna be my best friend, no matter what." He glances around for something on the bench and table. He comes back up to me and stares into my glossy, sorrowful eyes, places his hand onto the side of my face, and wipes my tears with his thumb. He and I smiled at him. Simultaneously, he grabbed my mask and puts it onto my face.
The song ended, I see Sitara and Josh's hands interlace as they walk out of the room.
"We're chilling at my house, call us if you need anything." Sitara hollered.
"Remember to wear protection, Josh!" I screamed and laughed right after. (^ ^)
Marcus smirked and walked towards the couch.
He turned red and hissed "Fuck off!" As they walked up the stairs.

Marcus turns towards me as I sit down next to him.
"How much are you betting that they are going to fuck?"
I thought for a second."1 Million." I grinned. (* *)
Marcus hacks the 6 TVs to turn on and began playing a Jimmy Siska movie.
"Oh shit, is this the new one?"
"It sure is!" (^ ^)
***********************************Time Skip**************************************
The credits came up and we both clapped.
"Shit man! That was better than the last one!"
"No duh!" (@ @)
I got up to grab my laptop, and I hear Marcus call out to me.
"Dude, I'm heading out! I'll see you tomorrow."
"See ya man!" (# #)
I sit on the couch once again and open up my laptop. I call up Horatio's old friend, Pablo to see if he had any open flights. The call rang a few times.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hey, yo! It's Wrench."
"Oh hey! That's why it says unknown caller but anyway, how are you and the rest of them doing?"
"Oh they're doing great, how about you?"
"Doing great too, I bet you called me for a ride?" Pablo joshed.
"Well, I wanted to see how you're doing" I chuckled "And.. see when you're available."
"I'm busy every day until September, except June 12 and 13th and then 5 days after which is the....18th."
I check my phone, the date was June 10th.  "Ok, that sounds great."
"Alright, I'll be at the San Francisco National Airport at 9:00."
"Okay, we'll be there by then."
"Nice, you can give me the money there."
"Great, I'll see you then."
"See you, man." He hangs up.

I started to search hotels up on my laptop ring Marcus up on the earpiece.
"Yo, Marky- Mark. You there."
I hear him connect. "Yes Wrench, I'm here."
"I'm sorry if this seems really early, but I'm planning to leave at 9:00 on June, 12."
"No, no that's fine. I'll be ready by tomorrow night. How long will we be there?"
"Ughh, I would say about 5 days or so."
"Okay, that's perfect! I just wanted to know how many days I should pack for." He sounded happy. "We can split the cost trip, I'll pay for half."
"No, no." I shake my head. "I'm paying for all of it. Remember? This trip is for you! Where would you like to go while we're there?"
"Alright then, are you sure?" He sounded a bit stressed. "Oh, I don't know yet.."
"I'm going to book now, I'll talk to you tomorrow, goodnight."
"Alright! goodnight, and yo, thank you so much for everything!"
"No problem, anything for you! Goodnight." I disconnected.
