    A phone suddenly rang, shattering the moment and I stiffened and peered up at him, my heart beating fast.


    “Aren’t you gonna answer that?” I asked while he shook his head and stepped even closer to me.


    “The person can wait, you can’t.” He murmured and pressed his lips against mine in a kiss. His tongue dragged over my lips, and his spit just dripped into my mouth. I pulled away, feeling the urge to spit right now as I shook my head.


    “Why don’t you see who’s calling? It could be important.”


    He huffed, clearly not agreeing with me, but he went off to pick his phone off from the couch and I couldn’t believe that a sigh of relief left my mouth. Thatpletely caught me off guard then I instantly wondered if I felt that way just now.


    My heart pounded hard In my chest as I wiped my lips of the excess spit, while he answered the call.


    “Aisha<i>? </i>What’s- what’s wrong?” He said into the phone and I frowned in confusion as I listened to him speak. Was Aisha the one who just called him right now? His ex–girlfriend?


    “What? Are you hurt??” He asked, a frown on his face while his eyes darted around the room, then he picked up the car keys from the middle table.


    “Okay, just stay put, I’ll be there soon, okay?” He said into the phone before the line went dead, then he slipped his phone into his pocket.


    “Was that Aisha?” I asked and he nodded as he nced over at me, then he sighed and dragged a hand across


    his face.


    “She’s afraid, she was mugged by a bunch of thieves. I have to go to her.” He murmured and I nched as I blinked up at him right now.


    “Are you really being serious right now?” I asked before letting out a scoff of disbelief.


    “Marco, that same woman made me lost my job today.” I whispered slowly.


    In the next moment, he walked towards me to grasp my shoulders as he spoke. “That’s why I’m going to her right now. It’s the perfect time for me <i>to </i>confront her about it physically and get her to leave you alone if that was what really happened.” He murmured but I nched and pulled away.


    “But that was what really happened, Marco. You sound like you don’t believe me,” I pointed out while he sighed and shook his head firmly.


    “I do believe you, but I’d like to hear from her foo, okay? This is the perfect time.” He exined and I huffed, feeling annoyed as hell.


    “How is this the perfect time? When we were about to have sex,” I muttered while my cheeks colored a little.

    “We’re still gonna do that, aren’t we? You’ll just wait for me here. I’ll be back in no time, then we’ll spend the entire night in bed together.” He urged as he stepped closer to me, but I nced away from him, wondering why I was acting like this right now when I actually didn’t want to sleep with him tonight.


    “It’s alright, you can go see her.” I sighed out once I was looking at him. He regarded me wearily as he cupped my face.


    “Are you sure?”


    I wasn’t sure. I didn’t want him to leave! But it was clear his mind was made up, so my objection was pointless<b>, </b>so I nodded. He heaved a relieved sigh and leaned down to kiss my forehead.


    “You’re always so understanding. I love you, Addi,”


    I stifled a mirthlessugh as I nodded at him. “Of course, Marco,”


    After that, he tugged me into a hug and I let myself melt into it, then he was pulling away and rushing off when his phone rang again.


    As I watched him leave, I wondered if he still cared about Aisha. His actions just proved that he did, and that had me feeling a little confused cause he told me he was only with her because of his family.


    I let out a sigh as I decided that it was best for me to head home too, cause I felt annoyed and ridiculous right now to be waiting for him to return back here from his ex girlfriend’s ce.


    When I arrived home, I took a hot shower, burrowed in my small couch and set up a movie on my small tv, cause no way was I gonna start crying over losing my job all over again. I got a bowl of ice cream from the fridge as well, and after about three movies, a call came in from Marco.


    “Why did you leave? I returned and you’re no longer here,” he asked and I rolled my eyes a little.


    “I guess I got tired of waiting<i>.</i>” I informed him, mentally noting that it’s been hours since he left, then I felt happy that I hadn’t been truly waiting for him to return cause that would have gotten me really angry.


    “Aisha was scared from the ordeal, I had to stay with her till she fell asleep.” He revealed and I resisted the urge <i>to </i>scoff. Truly I couldn’t bring myself to feel sorry for her right now, even though that might make me seem like a bad person.


    “Did you confront her about my job?” I asked instead.


    “Oh, yeah, I did.”


    “and?” I pressed.


    “She said she didn’t do it.” He revealed slowly and my eyes widened as i quickly sat up.


    “What?!” I cried out.


    “She said you were probably mistaken, and that why would she do such a thing? And truly, why would she? Aisha isn’t one to ever do anything like that, truly.” He exined and I felt an intense amount of anger surge through me.

    “But- but I didn’t lie! She made me lose my job and she told me it was punishment for me ruining her rtionship with you, when I wasn’t even the one who told you the truth about her!” I cried out and Marco sighed after a little while.


    “Why don’t we talk about this when next we meet?” He suggested and I was to angry to argue <i>so </i>I reluctantly agreed.


    “I wished you were here when I got back.” He murmured next and that managed to take my mind off Aisha for a bit and I perked up.


    “Well, you cane over right now.” I offered. It waste but I didn’t have work tomorrow so it was fine. Having him hold me in his arms tonight would undoubtedly be nice.


    “Ah… but why don’t youe over instead? I’d rather that, cause remember that I don’t like your house.” He breathed out and something instantly squashed within me.


    “Oh.” I mumbled as I flopped on the couch I was sitting in.


    “Yeah, so… will you?” I asked and I huffed.


    “I’m actually tired tonight, so maybe…”


    He cut me off with a suggestion. “My driver coulde pick you up?”


    I shook my head. I was too annoyed to agree to that right now, and so I declined that again.


    “I’ll just rest tonight, I undoubtedly need it after my day. We can hang out some other time,” I tell him, and after a few more exchanges, the call finally ended.


    The next morning, I had a long conversation with Gregg, and to say that he was shocked that I lost my job was an understatement. He knew how much I was good at my job. He asked for the reason given to me after getting fired, but I couldn’t actually tell him since he was yet to know that I was now officially with Marco.


    He offered for me to <ie </i>over and left me no room to wiggle out of the invite, which was why I was heading over there right now. His kids and wife went to visit one of her friends‘, so he was basically expecting me to spill all that happened in Italy to him. I guess this is the day I’ll also tell him I’m now together with Marco, there was no point in me still hiding it at this point.


    When I knocked on his door, after the door swung open, he instantly pulled me into a hug.


    “Addison! It’s been ages!” He gushed as he pulled away to regard me and i huffed as I went in for another hug, feeling my heart ache in my chest cause I didn’t realize how much I missed him till this very moment that I was in his presence. When I pulled back this time, he let me in and closed the door after me.


    “It does feel like forever.” I admitted through a grin, my eyes darting to his. He looked just like I remembered,


    but also a little tired.


    His hair was blond and his eyes were blue. He was what I liked to call a pretty boy. He had a boyish look I believed he’d never loose no matter how old he gets, and I was certain he was tired of hearing that so I

    refrained from mentioning that.


    “So, how’s my best friend been?” He asked, nudging my shoulders <i>a </i>little as we walked over to his kitchen cause I was holding a pack of beer I stopped on the way here.


    “Been better, honestly.” I tell him and he sighed while regarding me sympathetically before reaching out to pat my back.


    “It’s gonna be alright, okay?” He murmured and although I didn’t believe him, I nodded as we exited the kitchen and headed into his sitting room.


    However, on stepping onto the sitting room, I stopped right in my tracks at the sight of the person sitting in the couch there, my mouth falling open and my heart instantly flying into my throat.


    “Zane?” I whispered while my legs felt like they’d give out from underneath me at any given moment.


    “Hello, Addison.” He drawled with a small grin tugging at his lips.
