Rented Bride{on Hold}

Chapter 18:love at first sight

Marcus is the kind of guy every girl falls at their feet for not that he and Rodriguez were on the same level but I gotta admit he's a hot guy. But not has hot as Lance( i didn't say that). He is 6'4 he isn't that much of a muscle guy. He isn't slim either. Last time I remember he had a tattoo of a letter M at his right bicep.

Yeah his name of course.

Anyho, he is a black haired person. He eye colour is Hazel. He has a very deep and cute dimple at his right cheeks that always appears literally every time. When he's mad,smirking,laughing and so on but never sad. And when he's lying about something one of his brows goes up. Such a cute guy. He's fun also. Since high school he had a crush on me,but I didn't have time for such things. So when he told me about it I never responded till this day.
But I have no idea what's going on in his life right now so we have a lot of catching up to do.

The two of them kept glaring at one and other. It was just us three there, everyone had gone.

I guess they were tired of the drama these two were acting.

I have to stop this.

" O...kay " I removed their hands, they were still 'hand shaking' As if it was planned the two of them looked at me at the same time.

" Um....Marcus let's get you settled." I pulled his hand to the direction of the stairs. He dragged his bag along.

I could feel Lance glance burning a hole through my head,while we went up.

________________

" This is your room." I said as we got in. I jumped on the bed.

" Thanks." He dropped his bag at the middle of the room.
" So...your um...fiancee.....He's ... Nice?" Marcus said trying to be nice.

" Don't mind him. Feel free." I assured him. Knowing what he means.

" Okay, just saying." He raised his hand up.

" I understand." I replied.

" So I should like take a long shower. I reek of sweat. " he chuckled removing his shirt.

Oh, I turned around.

" I guess I should give you some time to settle down." I said heading to the door.

" What happened Pumpkin? " he asked. And I had to stop.

Stupid legs.

He hasn't called me that in years.

" I just thought,you know......" I turned around.".... Privacy?" I completed.

He was already shirtless. He was walking closer.

Okay I'll admit, I secretly liked him in high school,but I'm over him. I think?

Yeah I am.

" Since when do you give me 'privacy' " he trapped me between his hands.

I was now resting on the wall now.

How cliche right?

I gulped.

" Since we grew up?" I said and I stood on my tippy toes and gave him a peck on his cheek. And then I pushed him away.

He chuckled and got out of my way.

" You gotta be fast,we've got a lot of catching up to do." I said and then I winked and left the room with a smile on my face.

I could hear him chuckling before I left.

Okay I and Marcus knew each other since we were little. I was six and he was eight. He was my neighbor and we always did everything together sometimes sleep on the same bed together. Such nice times. But after graduation he and his family moved away. I've been trying to get in touch with him forever. But when I saw his text, I was overwhelmed.

" ......So she broke up with you cause you weren't ready to get married?" I couldn't stop my laughter.

" Yeah.. .I know right?" He laughs along.

We are currently in his room on his bed. I'm seated folding my legs like they do in Indian movies. He's lying down,his head currently on my lap while I rub his hair.

I know what you thinking but we do that every time we're in a discussion and Marcus likes my hair rubs.

" What are you....like 24 and she wants marriage." I said as my laughter subsided.

" I know right. I haven't even experienced life yet." He smiled. And then he kept staring at me.
" what about you? Did you date anyone in college?" He asked me.

" Nope " I said nonchalantly.

" Wow, so when did you date Rodriguez? I mean how did you guys meet?". He asked folding his arms.

" Well... Let's just say it was love at first sight" I chuckled.

" Are you serious? You don't believe in such things." He stood up and sat down. We were now facing each other.

" Well I guess now I do." I said nervously laughing.

How do I tell my best friend that I'm only getting married to him cause of our contact.

" Are you serious about this? And when did you meet this so called love-at-first-sight guy?" He asked me with his arms folded.

He tends to do that a lot.

" Four months ago?" I said more like I was asking myself.

" Just four months? Seriously? And we talking about marriage here?" I could tell he was shocked.

" Yeah. I don't know we just clicked." I defended. Laughing nervously.

" Is there something you're not telling me?" He frowned at me.

" No?" I answered.

My acting skills better pay off.

" Really? Don't forget it me you talking to. Don't try to act for me. I know when you lying." He frowned even more.

" Okay fine you got me." I gave up.

" I knew something wasn't right. Common tell me. Did he threaten you or something? Are you like owing him some cash or is he paying you for this. "

More like the latter.

" I'm sorry it something I can't tell anyone. " I said.

He froze. Like he was shocked by my sentence.

" Not even....me?" He asked. He looked hurt by my words.

" Look I'm sorry I......" I started but was cut off by my mums voice behind the door.

Knock.

" Guys dinner's ready. " she said and left.

" I'm shocked by what you just said but I'm gonna find out what it is that is going on. " his voice deepens.

And then he got up. He opened the door.

" And when I wanna know something I will know." He says before he slams the door hard.

Shit!

Do I tell him?

But it our secret.

But best friends know each others secrets.

And he's my best friend.

I think I know what I have to do.

Hey guys. So I guess until I have the time to update this is the last chapter you'll get for this month. And I apologize for that.
