1404 Words
Ruby It been few days since Orlando and Marcus fought. The teachers had to intervene and stopped the fight. Robin took home and offered to stay over but I refused and said I wanted to be alone. Orlando tried calling me that night but I ignored him. He even came to my house to apologise but I told my dad not to let him in cause I wasn't in the mood to listen to he's excuses. Marcus called me a few times as well and I answered his last call. He apologise for his part and that he'll make it up to me but I told him he doesn't have to do that and I let him off this time cause he doesn't know Orlando and we just starting to get to know each other but he insisted so I obliged him. If he wants to make it up to me then why argue about it. It's Thursday and Robin been picking me up every morning and dropping me off since the fight. I felt guilty for asking her to do that but she assured me it was ok and it means we have more time hanging out. However, Orlando tried to get me alone with him so that he could apologise but I wasn't having it and told him I'm still mad at him. He waits for me everyday after school, by the school's entrance, hoping that I'll let him take me home but I refused every time which lead us arguing. I just got in my first lesson and sat down at the back of the class. Sadly Robin is not in this class with me. It was a English lesson which I loathed. I hate English. It's not my strong subject. As I was getting out my book ready for class, I saw Marcus walk in. He looked round until he saw me; we locked eyes and was headed towards me. His eyes never left me and took a seat next to me. "Hey cupcake, how you doing?" He asked. "Hey Marcus, I'm ok thanks and yourself?" I asked back. "Better now that you're here" he said sincerely and giving me a warm smile. "Cheesy much?" I teased. He just rolled his eyes. "Moving on, I was wondering if you let me take you home today? " He asked softly. "You don't have to" I said. "I know but I want to. So what do you say?" He asked hopeful. "Well if you insist then sure, ok" I said sincerely. He grinned at me and I swear to god that he's eyes sparkled. Can he get any sexier? "Awsome sauce" he said cheerfully. "Awsome sauce? Who says awesome sauce now days?" I asked and looking at him weirdly. "I do. What's wrong with saying awesome sauce?" He asked. "Nothing. You're the first person that I know who said that" I stated simply. He just shrugged. "Oh! Before I forget. I got something for you" Marcus said as he was getting something from his bag. He got out a small box and handed it to me. I took it. "What is it?" I asked as I looked at the box. It was purple with a red bow on top. "Open it and see" he said eagerly. So I opened it and saw that it was a cupcake. It was a red velvet cupcake with cream icing on top. There was a note next to it. It read: "I'm sorry for upsetting you. I was a jerk. Can you forgive me, cupcake?" It said with a heart at the end of it. I looked up at Marcus with a warm smile. There was starting to get teary. Marcus looked concerned. "It's just a cupcake. There's no need to be emotional" He said mused. I shook my head and whipping a tear out of my eye. "I know but it's the thought that's counts" I said sniffing. When do I get so emotional? Ugh! this is not a good look for me. "Aww come here" he stated softly. He leaned over and gave me a side hug. Damn, he smell so good. I wonder what kind of cologne he's wearing? it's mouthwatering. What the hell am I thinking. Get it together Ruby. You sound like a creepy person. After a few moments, Marcus leaned back to look at me. "Are going to eat it or admire it" he teased as he was pointing at the cupcake. Clearing my throat, I looked at the cupcake and took a bite out of it. I moaned as soon as the cupcake touched my taste buds. It tasted divine. "I'm guessing it's good then?" He chuckled. I just nodded and enjoying the delicious goodness. "You got a bit of frosting at the corner of your mouth there. Let me get that for you" he stated. I thought he was going to use a tissue but he wipe a bit of the frosting with his thumb and licked it off, staring at me when he did that. That made my underwear wet. That was the sexiest thing I have ever seen. I really need to control my hormones. That's when the teacher walked in and the lesson started. ********************************************************** It was end of school and I told Robin that Marcus will be taking me home. She said it was good time cause she had cheerleading practice so she was happy that I'll be home safe. Orlando called me multiple times and sending texts during the day but I ignored him cause i still haven't forgiven him yet. im still pissed off to what he done at the party and fighting with Marcus. It was embarrassing for me. I was walking with Marcus, heading to his car. He opened the door for me. "Me'lady" he bowed to me. I snorted. "Well ain't you a gentleman" I said teasingly as I climbed into his car. "When it comes to beautiful ladies" he said winking. I smirked at him. "You think I'm beautiful?" I asked. "Of course I do" he said sincerely. He closed the door and went over to the driver side. "Buckle up, cupcake. I don't want you flying out of the window" he said jokingly. "Are you planning on speeding to my house" I mused . "Not planning to but you never know. It's better to be safe than sorry" he stated. Giving me a sly smile and drove off the school campus. It was a comfortable ride back to my house which I gave him directions. Me and Marcus was talking about random stuff and laughing when he was singing to one of Taylor Swift songs and I must atmit that he had a great singing voice. The next thing I knew we arrived home and Marcus parked at outside my house. I was about to come out of the car when Marcus grabbed my hand. I turned to look at him and saw that he looked nervous. "Are you ok, Marcus?" I asked worried. "Umm yeah. I want to ask you something before you go" he said hesitantly. "Ok. What is it?" "Would you go on a date with me?" He asked nervously. Oh! That's why he looked nervous. "I would gladly go on a date with you" I accepted. "Really? You'll really go on a date with me?" He asked. "Yes really. I accept your date" I assured him, laughing. He beamed. "Awsome sauce" he teased. "Oh lord. Not this again" I said defeatedly. He laughed wholeheartedly. "Ok I'll try not to say it again but no promises" he stated "I'll pick you up on Saturday at seven. Is that ok?" He asked softly. "Sure. Sounds good" I said sincerely. He gave me a small smile. He went out the car and went over to my side. He open the door for me and helped me out. "Can I pick you up tomorrow?" Marcus asked. "Yes, I would like that" I said sincerely. "Cool. I'll see you tomorrow then, cupcake?" "Yes, see you tomorrow, Marcus" I said sweetly and headed to my front door. I put my keys through the lock and open the door. I looked back to wave Marcus; he waved back, got into his car and drove off. I went into the house and headed upstairs to start my homework with a smile on my face, looking forward to the date with Marcus.
