This is lovely.""I know, I would be waiting for you.""Okay, give me thirty minutes," Lily said as she skipped upstairs.Marco shook his head at her, he was excited at her reaction.Of course, he wasn't looking for anything but he was glad to see her acknowledge his actions.He sat down on had couch waiting, Marco looked down at his outfit and he was okay to go.He wasn't shabby looking, thirty minutes wasn't just thirty minutes.

The smile on her face could not be contained.She appreciated the gesture and it warmed her heart generously."Where are we going?" she asked.Marco shook his head, he had forgotten to make reservations for their date."I forgot to make a reservation." He hung his head, too ashamed to face Lily."Don't worry about it. There is this great restaurant I searched for. You don't need a reservation ." Lily informed him.Marco smiled, He had no idea making decisions like this needed time. He was impulsive yet he had nothing planned."I am so sorry about this," he apologized."It's not your fault." she comforted.Marco opened the car door for her and closed it after she was comfortable.He got into the driver's seat, he turned to Lily."Where is this place?""Downtown, why?" "So that I can put the address in the GPS." "Oh, 12th Newyork street opposite the Grandeur Library.""Wow, even the address sounds grand ." Marco joked."Yeah, it's so

Marco and Lily looked up at the voice, Lily rolled her eyes not surprised at Marcelle’s presence. She had no doubt that he stalked them to this place.Marco was silent, he was waiting for him to say more.“How surprising to see you here,” Marcelle said with a grin.A grin that was fake, that hid the hatred and dislike he had for their proximity.“Marco,”“Marcelle” The guys greeted each other with disdain that is until Marcelle broke into a grin.“There are no hard feelings between us, I hope?” Marcelle asked.If there was any chance of them making up and becoming acquaintances then he has just ruined it for Marco. Marco looked at the grin on Marcelle’s face and the only thing he wanted to do was punch his lights out.He opened his mouth to reply when Marcelle continued, “She does this sometimes, you know?”Marco furrowed his brows at his words, “Excuse me?”Marcelle stepped closer to Marco and whispered to him, “She takes pleasure in playing with half-men before she comes back to t

Silence.Everywhere was silent. The whole restaurant watched as Lily cradled her cheek, her eyes darted nervously as she stared in disbelief.Marco gritted his teeth, he stepped closer to them. Marcelle’s eyes widened when he relaxed what he had done.“Baby, babe I am so sorry. I was just so…”Marco turned Marcelle towards him, and Marcelle shrugged his arm off.“What are you doing?” he asked Marco who took his arm back and punched Marcelle right in the face.Marcelle stumbled back, clutching his jaw just as Lily held her cheek. The sting is more glaring than that of the patrons.“Did you just punch me?” Marcelle asked in disbelief.Marco stared hard at Marcelle who glared back at him. “I suggest you leave before I do more damage to your smug face.” Marco threatened.Marco tried to move closer to Marcelle but Lily stopped him.Lily placed a hand on Marco’s chest to calm him down, “Everybody is looking at you, calm down please.”Marco looked around with a frown to see the patrons shaki

Marcelle lay on the ground groaning, his face red and swollen from the beating Marco just gave him.Marco looked around the restaurant, some of the patrons were looking with disappointment while others enjoyed the show they got. The police walked in and the hostess pointed at Marco.“That’s them,” she said.Marco readied himself for the police, “you are under arrest, both of you.” The police said as he read their right to them.Marco stretched his hands as they handcuffed him, they pulled Marcelle from the floor and cuffed him too.Lily watched as they led them out of the restaurant, she grabbed her bag to follow them. The hostess stopped her.“I hope you bail your friend out.”Lily nodded at her, she walked out of the restaurant in time to see the police car speeding away.Lily thanked God that Marco gave her his keys, she ran towards the car and zoomed off behind them.Marco felt so satisfied seeing Marcelle’s bloody face. He had never been glad to be violent.Marcelle was glaring a

Marco looked and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Lily there.“Thank God you came, I cannot bear to spend a minute in this asshole’s presence,” Marcelle said as he stretched.Lily leveled him with a look, “who said I came here for you?” she challenged.Marcelle was stupefied, he was confused. “You came here for him?” he asked the question like he was appalled.Marco grinned, “Don’t be a crybaby. It’s not a good look on you.”The officer opened the cell door for just Marco and he stepped out and into Lily’s outstretched arms.“Thank you,”“Anytime.”“You chose him over me?” Marcelle threw the accusation at Lily.Lily rolled her eyes, “No, your friend will bail you out, call any of them. I am sure they would remember the lovely things you have done for them and help you.”Marcelle lowered his head in shame, he knew none of them would come running, he was a shitty friend and even worse partner and it just dawned on him.“That’s what I thought,” Lily said.“Come on, Marco.” Lily looped

Lily dropped Marco at school just like she promised and sent him away with a kiss.Nobody was around to witness it and it gave Marco a satisfaction knowing it was just for him to enjoy.He entered the school, his mind in another world. The things Anthony sent were too much for Marco. He had no idea he has been fighting with a criminal.Marcelle is involved in his father’s illegal doings and the things in the file would put him away forever. Marco had no idea how to go about it, he didn’t want to make enemies but to get rid of some.Marco slowed down when he realized people were looking at him, he was puzzled. He looked down at himself to know if he was wearing the wrong set of sneakers but none of that.Marco shrugged and stopped by his locker he dropped the books he wasn’t going to use and took those he would need.He could still feel the eyes on him and Marco wondered what he had done wrong this time, it was like they were waiting for a reaction.He shut his locker and leaned agains

Marco slowly turned back, “What did you just call me?” he asked.Chris stepped forward with a smug smile on his face, “You heard me, I heard about what you did from Raina, “you sick bastard.”Marco’s eyes immediately found Raina’s and she averted them, laughter bubbled from his throat and he couldn’t help himself.He burst into laughter, “You are right, I am a bastard.”Chris was taken aback for a second and he smirked, “You had the prettiest girl in school and you cheated on her, shame on you.”Marco sighed, “Yeah, I did that, huh?” he said.Chris didn’t sense the sarcasm in Marco’s tone. He was so engrossed in humiliating him.“Are you done? This is boring me.” Marco let out a yawn to emphasize his point.Chris looked around and saw people invested in the drama, he climbed one of the lunch tables and yelled.“Hey everyone!”The chattering stopped, all eyes were on them now and Chris was loving the attention.“Our favorite couple is no longer a couple because Marco cheated on our bea

Stepping off the plane, Marco felt the warm breeze of London enveloping them, and excitement filled his nostrils.Lily, with a slight yawn, turned to Marco and said, "You know, after this long flight, we should go rest a little before we go to the big house."Marco, however, seemed hesitant.

If we get it done quickly, we can then relax and have a great time leading up to the prom back home."Lily smiled understandingly, knowing how important it was for him to come here.

Marco asked.He got up gently, thankful he had slept with his boxers.He put on his shorts and headed downstairs, well aware that Anthony was following behind."Marco," the man questioned.Marco went to the fridge and took out a bottle of water."I am talking to you, boy."Marco leveled him with a bored look, "What do you want?"Anthony stepped towards him in a threatening manner."I told you how I felt about sleeping with my daughter.""Was this before or after you shot my dad?"

I am not going to lie that I will be sad if you kill him but I understand.""So you will hate me?"Lily shook her head, "I will be sad but like I said, I understand."Marco nodded.Lily stretched out her hand again, this time Marco took it and they went home.

Chris paced the floor, almost wearing a hole in it. The movement made Raina so dizzy."Would you stop doing that?" she snapped.Chris turned to her sharply, "Are you mad? You are the cause of all this.""How? Forgive me for trying to rectify your mistakes." Raina yelled."My mistakes? You are the one who went to confront Marco.""Yes only because I believed your lies."Chris laughed, "Oh don't act so innocent in all of this, you were there through it all. You played a part in it too."Raina gaped at him, "You are such a bastard."Chris laughed again, "I know, isn't that why you stuck with me?
