The Wildcat God

I Wasn't Ready To Leave Her

Bella P.O.V

After leaving calculus I had no more classes for the day so I went back to the room to start my homework. It wasn't even 5 o clock and I wasn't going get dinner till 8 so I dropped my books off and headed to the campus Wendy's.

After ordering my food and walking back to my room I noticed a familiar figure at the dorm building entrance, it was him.

Marcus P.O.V

I seen her walking back to her dorm room from Wendy's and decided to pay her a visit. I took a short cut that I found when me and Meagan were dating and waited out side for her. When she saw me at the door she turned around and ran. I chased after her till I cornered her in the gym. I was empty and the soft cry echoed the building breaking my heart slowly.

Bella: Why won't you leave me alone?

She could barely get her words out threw the tears streaming down her face.

Marcus: Bella, Im sorry I came on to hard at the library but I wanna get to know you, I wanna take you out...........I wanna make you mine

*****************************

Bella P.O.V

Looking into his green eyes I could tell he was being sincere. He slowing backed way and began to leave.

Bella: Wait

He turned slowly to look at me. I could see the year sliding down his face from the corner of his eye. After a few seconds of staring in each others eyes he turned around and began to leave again.

Bella: Where do you wanna go?

Marcus: Take my hand

I decided to take her to the only place that help me clear my mind, the football field.

I could tell she was nervous, her hand was shaking the entire time we walked. No matter how bad I wanted to take her I had to gain self control and get her to trust me first

When we finally made it we sat in the middle of the field on top of the wildcat logo.

Bella: Why did you bring me here?

Marcus: Its the only place I can clear my thoughts.

Bella: oh

I grabbed both her hand and looked in her eyes. Her being so shy she looked away. I reached up and took off glasses. Her eyes looked even more beautiful.

Marcus: Why do you keep running from me?

After a long silence she answered me

Bella: Im scared

Marcus: Of what?

Bella:.......... Hurt

Marcus: I won't hurt you. I have never hit a woman

She looked kinda confused after my words.

Bella: Not that kinda of hurt. Emotional hurt

Marcus: Bellla I like you

Bella: No you don't. Your you

She looked down at her body and continued

Bella: Im me

Marcus: What's that supposed to mean?

Bella: Your a football player that every girl want. I'm a nerdy glasses wearing girl that nobody wants

Marcus: I want you

I leaned in slowly kiss her lips but she turned away

Marcus: Bella, what I play has nothing to do with what I want. Your beautiful and I wanna show that. I don't ever want you to doubt that. Girls fall at my feet all the time but yet I'm still single. I don't want a million girls. I want one and she's you.

I tried again and she gave in to me. Meeting me half way her soft lips touch mine. I ran my fingers through her hair removing her ponytail, her hair flowing free to her shoulders. I moved my hands down her back and she froze.

Bella: Stop I can't do this.

Marcus: I'm not doing anything Bella.

She leaned back in and kissed me again. I held her hips and pulled her on my lap. We stopped kissing, she looking in my eyes and spoke.

Bella: I like you too

I give a smile and pecked her lips. Out intimate moment was interrupted by the grumbling of my stomach. I check my phone it was a quarter to 8, I hadn't eat all day.

Marcus: You wanna take a ride?

She looked shocked and nerves at my question.

Marcus: We are just going get some food. I'm sick of campus food.

Bella: I don't have wallet. I just brought enough money for Wendy's. Ill pay you back later.

Marcus: You don't need it and no need to.

I stood up first and pulled her up afterward. I reached out for her hand but she declined. I sigh. We walked to my car and climbed in.

The entire ride she was on edge like I was kidnapping her. I tried to calm her down but I only made things worse.

When we reached the restaurant I hurried out the car to open her door. She seemed so shocked. I wasn't like other athletes I wasn't a jackass. I tried again to grad her hand but she declined again. We walked inside the dimly lit sushi bar and took a seat a booth near the window.

The waiter came and asked for our drinks. She orders sweet tea. I ordered water, football diet only water for two weeks. Once the waiter left she began to browse the menu and her eyes bucked out when she looked at the prices. I knew how expensive the place was but she was worth it.

Bella: Don't you think these prices are a little insane?

Marcus: Order what you want. Price doesn't matter to me.

I was no where near rich but I picked up a decent paying job during the summer. I had enough money saved up from working in high school to live how I please. Even though Meagan put a nice dent in my funds. Bella made me wanna spent all I had.

The waiter came back and took our orders. Even though I told her I didn't care what she ordered she still ordered small. I told the waiter hold up and I ordered her something extra.

Bella: You didn't have to do that.

Marcus: I told you I didn't care about price. Anyways I wanna know more about you.

Bella: Ok. What do you wanna?

We talk about her until the waiter brought our food back.

After eating we exited to my my car. I opened the door and she slid in with a smile. I climbed in and drove to a near by Ice cream shop, I just wasn't ready to leave her yet.

I jumped out the car and opened her door again. I reached for her had and she grabbed mine. We walked inside. I handed her a 20 to get what she wanted and to order mine as well.

Once in the car again I was ready to ask her what I had been waiting for since I met her.

Marcus: Can I ask you something?

Bella: What is it?

Marcus: Will you be my girlfriend?
