Roommates

15

*Lexi's POV*

He takes some time and then sighs out loudly as he sees no form of smile or sympathy toward him.

He clearly knows I wont be giving up this time.

Mac: for fuck sake. Fine.

He says while taking his phone out.

I give him a smile as I get closer to him to look at his phone.

He rolls his eyes and finally taps the green button.

It takes less then some seconds before his mom answers.

The screen lightens up with one of the purest smile on his moms face.

Anne:hey Marcus.

She sounds so happy, I cant stop myself from smiling as well. 

Mac: hi. 

He says nervously or annoyed or a mix of them.

Anne: how are you?

mac: good. you?

Anne: Good now that I'm talking with you.

My heart melts on this as my smile grows even wider.

 She is so sweet.

Marcus looks at me for a second like: what am I supposed to say next?

I mouth him: what is she doin?

Marcus rolls his eyes but does what I say.

Anne: oh nothing much really, I haven't heard from you in a while so I was just worried you know. You didn't answer any text or ca-

Mac: yeah yeah, I know, I was just .... busy. 

I shoot him a glare. 

He was not busy at all. Like at all. what is he even sayin. 

Anne: oh okay, by the way, who is that girl?

Her mom says with a slight smirk, even tho she can't see me I can see her. 

Marcus started to turn red and got nervous.

Mac: w-what girl?

Anne: The girl who picked the phone before, Axis?

I almost spit out the water I was drinking and Marcus starts to laugh. 

Axis?????

Mac: Axis?? AHHAHAHA, MOM, ITS ALEXIS. Fucking Axis. AHAHAH

He keeps on laughing as I hit him on his arm.

Lex: It's not funny. 

I yell, but fast cover my mouth as I realize that she probably heard me. 

As fast I covered it, I remove it and take the phone from Marcus's hand.

Lexi: Alexis ma'am. it's Alexis.

Can marcus stop laughing already?

Anne: yeah, sorry. Alexis. 

Lexi: its fine.

Anne: by the way, you are really pretty.

I wouldn't say the same cuz I'm looking like a mess right now, but I thank her anyways. 

We kept on talking a little but before I gave the phone back to Marcus.

I probably said 23 times but I love his mom , she is so sweet and nice.

They have a little convo as well before Marcus was ready to hang up.

Anne: wait, do you wanna talk to your dad?

The smile on Marcus's face fades away in less then a second as even her mom gets serious.

Mac: you know I don't wanna hear from that man . Why did you even ask-

Anne: he is still your da-

Mac: I don't care. This is why I never answer your calls, you always bring him up. Fuck this, I don't wanna talk anymore. Bye.

He hangs up his phone , goes to his room and lies on his bed clearly frustrated. 

What did just happen? Every thing was going so fine we were so happy and just because she named his dad he got so mad. 

I go to Marcus and kneel down next to his bed. 

Mac: if you are here to talk about my so called "dad" then you can leave. 

I shake my head as if he can see me.

Lexi: I'm not, if you don't wanna talk about it.

He turns his face toward me and gives me a little smile: thanks.

I can see pain in his eyes,  this is not for sure just about his dad. 

He was rude to his mom, but I won't bring it up this time or insist on it.

I carefully place my hand on his back and give him a smile with a nod.
