Marco felt his chest tighten with anger when he saw Chris casually chatting up the girls from earlier.They giggled and twirled their hair around with their fingers.Marco's head flashed back to the scene he saw today when Chris was arguing with Raina.Chris looked casual and carefree, unaware It was as if he didn't have a care in the world, despite what he had done.Marco's anger boiled over as he approached Chris, who turned to him with a nonchalant smile. "Hey man, what's up?" Chris said, clearly unaware of the fury brewing inside Marco.Marco swallowed his anger to the best of his ability. "Do you know what's going on with Raina? I've been looking for her all day and I can't find her anywhere." Marco asked as calmly as he could.Chris laughed it off, his eyes darting away from Marco's. "How should I know?" he said with a smirk. "I'm not her keeper."Marco felt his blood boil, but he took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. "Come on, man," he said, his voice rising slightly. "I

Marco walked out of the principal's office in a daze. The words rang in his head. "Marco, I need to tell you something." the principal had said."What?" he asked.The principal was so serious and yet so sympathetic but the words that came out from his mouth were not the words Marco was expecting to hear."Chris and Raina are engaged," he said."What?" Marco asked quietly."It happened this morning, it was an arrangement between their fathers." the principal said.Marco did not bother to ask the principal how he knew all of this because he was finding it difficult to grasp.They were arguing because they were engaged? He couldn't believe it. He had always thought that he and Raina would end up together, but now he felt like he had been hit by a truck. Marco stood up and walked out of the principal's office, he could hear the man calling him but Marco felt weak to his bones.He stumbled down the hallway, his mind racing with a million thoughts. His heart was beating so fast that he f

Marco was sound asleep when he was suddenly jolted awake by a loud pounding on his door. He groggily glanced at the clock on his bedside table - it was only 6 PM. Who could be knocking at his door at this weird hour?He stumbled out of bed and pulled on a pair of sweatpants before shuffling to the front door. He opened it cautiously, peering out into the night. He was surprised to see Raina standing there, her eyes red and puffy."Raina? What's wrong?" he asked, his voice hoarse from sleep."Can I come in?" she asked, her voice trembling.Marco nodded and stepped back, allowing her to enter his small apartment. He closed the door behind her and turned to face her. "What's going on?" he asked again, concern etched on his face.Raina's face twisted with anger and she suddenly slapped his bare chest hard. Marco recoiled in shock, rubbing the spot where she had hit him."What the hell, Raina?" he demanded, his tone harsh. "Did you come to my house to assault me?"Raina glared at him, he

Raina woke up to loud music downstairs in the living room, she checked her phone to see it was past ten in the morning.She turned her head to check if Marco was still asleep but the bed was empty.She got up from the bed and quickly got dressed ignoring her aching joints.Raina bit her lip as the memory from last night flooded her mind. It was wonderful and she didn't regret anything that happened yesterday. Her smile faded when she remembered Chris's words, she didn't think she was a slut.She liked Marco and she had never made any mistake in showing that. She only hoped that he felt the same way about her.Raina stood in front of Marco's bathroom sink, marveling at the spaciousness of the room. She had never seen a bathroom so large before, with its marble countertops and gleaming chrome fixtures.She reached for Marco's toothbrush, then hesitated for a moment. It felt strange to use someone else's toothbrush, but she didn't want to go back into the bedroom and ask him for a spar

As they drove towards the hair and makeup salon, Raina couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by their generosity of Marco. She had never experienced anything like this before. The boutique they had just left had been a dream come true, and the dress that Marco had bought for her was nothing short of spectacular. She couldn't wait to wear it.When they arrived at the salon, Raina was taken aback by the modern and chic décor. The walls were painted in a soft shade of pink, and there were bright lights around the mirrors that reflected off the white countertops. There were several chairs lined up next to each other, each with a large mirror in front of it. The floor was covered in shiny white tiles, which added to the clean and sophisticated feel of the place.As soon as they walked in, they were greeted by a friendly receptionist who directed them to the waiting area. Raina sat down on one of the plush chairs and looked around. There were several people in the salon, all of them getting
