After I Do (Knight #2) (On Hold)

Chapter 14

Rebecca P.O.V

It's been a week since my meet up Octavia, and every time I bring her up, Marcus tries to find a way to swift the conversation to something else. It seems that if it was up to him, he would erase her from existence or from my mind.

He doesn't like to talk about her but who would but the way he gets nervous when I utter her name, it's like he's hiding something.

Otherwise from Octavia, everything has been great, Marcus and I have fallen into a routine and I can't say I hate it. He is still a little closed off but I am too but where slowly starting to trust each other, it's wired, I know.

During work today I had an unexpected visit, someone barged into my office with my assistant running after her.

When I saw who it was I wasn't surprise, My sister Susan never listen to authorities, well except father.

"Big sis, I heard you outsmart dad and I had to see it for myself " she came up to me and hugged me " and I'm staying with you for a couple of days "

"What, why?"

"Because I want to spend time with my favorite sister and Claire is totally getting on my nerves. Did you know that she's pregnant? " and with that she began to rant, being the middle child I was always between these two sibling fights. As Susan says I'm her best friend, so those Claire.

My big sister and little sister couldn't stand each other and as the middle child I could relate with both of them and that's why they both like me. I could relate with Claire that Susan was annoying and spoiled and got away with everything because she was the smallest and I could also I could relate with Susan because Claire is an overbearing big sister.

They both confide in me but sometimes it can be annoying.

Susan stayed the whole day with me and then we went to dinner together before we headed home.

When we arrived Marcus was not there, Lorna, our maid said that he left for dinner with a friend. At first, I wondered who he was out with then I brush it off assuming it was James, his best friend. For the rest of the night, Susan and I talked and watched s movie

***

Susan only stayed for a week before she left, she said she was tired of following to work every day and the misses her boo.

Before she left though, we had a conversation the suck with me, it was about Marcus.

"So have you ever thought of making your relationship with Marcus real," she said after taking a sip of tea

"What "

"You know try to make it work, look at him, Marcus is a catch. If I wasn't married I waltz right in there " I gasped as she that

"Susan!!"

"What, he's hot"

"You're a married woman "

"You think I don't know that, I'm just saying" she wasn't wrong, she is a catch and any girl would be lucky to have him. He's smart, kind, handsome, rich, sometimes cold but he's a good person . I never thought of us making this real, I was starting to like him, even though I would never ever let him know that

"I've never thought about it "

"Well you should, you have the great of your life with this guy, the least you guys can do is try to make it work, try to make it be more bearable"

"He doesn't think of me that way, not that think of him that way, it just strickly business between us "

"Okay but at least think about it "

"Okay I will "

And here I was a week later still thinking about it, I felt conflicted. I don't know what to do, should I? or shouldn't I?.

So I tried thinking of it in a new way, I thought of it as a challenge and I am never one to shy away from a challenge.

So here I am stroll towards Marcus, he was currently eating breakfast and I thought this was the best time to ask and I did

"Have you ever thought of making our relationship real "

*****

What do you guys think will be Marcus' answer
