"How are you doing, Marco?"Marco sat across from Anthony, unsure of what to expect from their conversation. "I would be okay," he replied honestly. He didn't want to pretend that everything was fine when it wasn't."Good," Anthony said with a sigh of relief. "It pains me to see you like that. Lily said she took care of you."Marco nodded gratefully. "Yes, she's been amazing. I don't know how to thank her enough.""Where is she now?" Anthony asked."She went to meet up with her friends," Marco replied. "She felt like you wanted to talk to me alone.""Yeah, I did," Anthony said, shifting in his seat as he stared at Marco intensely. There was a sense of urgency in his voice that made Marco nervous. The last time that happened, he was told his father was dead."What's going on?" he asked, his heart beating faster.Anthony took a deep breath before speaking. "You know how much I have been the bearer of bad news?" he asked.Marco nodded, his face changed to horror, "Did someone die?"An

"Marco, you have a very nice place," Chad said as he passed, giving Marco a pat on the back. Marco forced a smile and muttered a polite thank you, but in truth, he was irritated with Chad's comment. It was as if Chad expected his place to be shabby or something.As the rest of the group trooped in, Marco tried to ignore the chattering and laughter around him. Marcelle was the only one who didn't seem to be enjoying himself. He walked in with a scowl on his face, his arms crossed tightly over his chest.Marco rolled his eyes and shut the door, he could feel the headache coming fast.But Lily, who had been watching him, caught his eye and mouthed at him to be nice. Marco sighed and tried to put on a friendly face."So, who wants a drink?" Marco asked, gesturing towards the kitchen. "I've got beer, wine, and some cocktails."Everyone seemed to perk up at the mention of alcohol. Chad and a few others headed towards the kitchen, but Marcelle stayed behind, eyeing Marco warily."Marcelle

"I..." he started, but he didn't know how to finish.Marco's heart was pounding in his chest. He had never thought about Lily in that way before, but now that she had brought it up, he couldn't deny that he was attracted to her.Lily reached up and touched his cheek. "It's okay," she said softly. "I'm not asking you to make a move or anything. I just wanted to know if the thought had ever crossed your mind."Marco swallowed hard. "I...I don't know what to say."Lily smiled a hint of mischief in her eyes. "You don't have to say anything," she said. "Just...think about it."With that, she turned and walked towards the kitchen door. Marco watched her go, his mind racing. "What the heck was that?" he asked himself.Marco heard Lily rummaging in the kitchen but he didn't dare go in there.Not knowing what else to do, he ran upstairs to his room to take a breather. Lily came out of the bathroom."Marco, help me..." She stopped short when she realized there was no one there."Marco!" There

Lily stood at the foot of the stairs, her heart pounding in her chest.She had no idea if she had the guts to face rejection if Marco didn't appreciate this. She could still hear the sound of water running from the bathroom. A mischievous smile played on her lips as she thought about what he would look like underneath the sprays of water. Lily's mind raced with thoughts of surprising Marco. She tiptoed up the stairs, careful to make as little noise as possible. The anticipation of seeing Marco's reaction thrilled her, filling her with a mix of excitement and nervousness but at the same time fear for his reaction.she reached the top of the stairs, Lily hesitated for a moment. Doubts began to creep into her mind. What if Marco didn't appreciate the surprise? Her desire to connect with him and share an intimate moment overruled her apprehensions. She took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and opened the bedroom door. She took off the remaining piece of clothing she had on and ap

"Shit!" Marco exclaimed, his voice laced with panic and frustration. "How the fuck did she get in here?" Lily asked, her voice trembling with a hint of fear. She couldn't believe that Raina had interrupted them."I gave her a key," Marco admitted, his voice filled with regret as he realized his grave oversight. "You forgot to get it back," Lily muttered, her tone filled with disappointment. She quickly reached for the underwear she left on the floor, slipping them on hurriedly, she didn't want to be naked while she was making her defense.First, Marcelle then Raina, either the universe was trying to tell her something or it was just a fucking coincidence.Marco took a deep breath, He wrapped a towel around his waist, the fabric providing a thin layer of modesty."Marco!" Raina yelled again."What is it, Raina?" Marco asked,Raina looked up surprised to see him standing there. "What is this?" She asked as she waved a piece of clothing in her hand.Marco tried not to react when he

"That was..." Lily breathed hard.She had no idea what to say. She lay next to Marco who chuckled, equally out of breath as well.They said nothing, just catching their breath. It was like they had run a marathon."Do you regret it?" Lily voiced.Marco shook his head before he remembered to use his voice."No, I have no regrets.""Are you sure ?" "Trust me, I have no regrets. Do you?""None," Lily confirmed.The silence was deafening until Lily burst out laughing."Why are you laughing?" Marco asked her.Lily pointed to the Chandelier and Marco followed her gaze.He burst into laughter, "What the hell?""How did that get up there?"On the chandelier were Lily's panties, they burst into laughter again."I must have thrown it there by mistake," Marco admitted.In his rush to get into Lily's panties, he must have thrown them up there."Oh well," Lily shrugged."I am so thirsty, want me to grab you something?""Water."Marco shrugged on his briefs and headed down to the kitchen.His mout

“What are you going to do?” Lily asked.Marco blinked, he looked at Lily with a look of uncertainty, “I have no idea what I am going to do I know I am but I am sure one of them includes killing that ex-boyfriend of yours.”Lily laughed, “It can’t be that bad. I will follow you to talk to my father.”“No, I will go alone. It’s better if I do it alone.” Marco pointed out.“Why do you think?”“Because I don’t want your father to think I am spineless and cannot defend myself.” Marco pouted.“Okay then, I will be on standby just in case.”“That would be nice.”Marco yawned, he was tired and was in urgent need of sleep.“Come on, let’s go to bed.” Lily hooked her arms around Marco’s and dragged him.“I am so excited yet scared to see what my father would do to you,” Lily said once they were upstairs.Marco paused, “I thought you said he was harmless?”Lily shrugged, “That was until he sent that text, I can’t guarantee your safety.”“You can’t, what?” Marco was shocked, he glared at Lily wh

"Marco," Anthony said with a frown. He regarded Marco from head to toe before shaking his head."Before you start, I am sorry. I should have asked for your permission before doing anything." Marco pleaded.Anthony turned to him, "Wait, you are only sorry that you didn't ask for my permission?""Yes.""So you are not sorry about sleeping with my daughter?"Marco shook his head instantly, "No.""I see."The silence made Marco uncomfortable, it didn't help that Anthony was walking in circles around him."Sit down, Marco." Marco sat down."Do you know why I called you here?" "Not a clue.""I wanted to see for myself if my daughter has made another mistake again."Marco looked up instantly, "What do you mean?""I know she dated Marcelle to spite me and it didn't work out well because the guy is a dick."Marco's eyes widened as he looked at Anthony who just smirked at him."What?""Oh please, don't act so shocked Marco. You know the guy reported you to me.""I am aware of that but only b
