“Harry, remember that night when we went to that after party where I saw Ester?”
“Of course I do.”
“Well can you please explain to her that I wasn’t the one who kissed Ester? That she kissed me.”

Harry gave me a tired look. He seemed embarrassed…

“Marcel didn’t kiss Ester… they were talking and… she kissed him… Marcel left and called you right after…”
“You see Mary? I would never cheat on you…”
“Thanks Harry.” I said coldly.

Marcel and I went back to my house… I felt so stupid for believing Harry.

“I’m sorry for not believing in you…”
“Don’t worry about it. Mary, it’s fine.”
“No… I feel dumb… I should have known better…”

Marcel gave me a hug and kissed me on the head. I was mad at Harry for telling me that Marcel had cheated… he made me look like such an idiot… I had to text him.

What the hell is wrong with you!?
                I’m sorry. I don’t know what got into me.
You almost ruined my relationship with Marcel!
                I said I’m sorry! What more do you want?
Just please… don’t do stuff like that anymore… I really, really do love him.
                I’ve already told you about how I felt.
So? What does that mean?
Harry!?

I threw my phone on the bed and went into the living room where Marcel was watching TV. I sat on the couch and curled up next to him, I didn’t want to think about anything. I wanted to be with my fiancé.

He kissed me on the cheek and continued clicking threw the channels. I moved in closer to him and rested my head on his chest.

“Mary, how come you thought I would cheat?”
“I guess I just thought that a man as good as you could never want someone like me…”
“What do you mean, someone like you?”
“I don’t know… someone so boring… and plain…”
“You’re not boring… or plain. You’re everything beautiful. I adore you. To me you’re perfect Mary Jane. Don’t ever think that I don’t love you, because I always will.”

His words were sweet and the sound of his voice relaxed me. I didn’t want to think of anyone or anything. For once in my life I had exactly who I wanted. But at the same time I felt guilty, because I was mad at him. I thought he had kissed another girl... and yet Marcel wasn’t mad at all when I told him that I kissed his brother. I’m so stupid.

Marcel and I curled up on the couch.

“Mary I’m going to have to leave again tomorrow.”
“Don’t go…”
“I wish I could stay, but I have to work.”
“Things get out of control when you leave…”

Marcel laughed and gently squeezed my arm.

“How’s school?”
“We’ve had a short break but I’m going back in a few days”
“Oh that’s good. At least then you’ll have something to do. I hate to leave you here all alone.”
“It’s okay. I’m kind of used to it.” I smiled

We cuddled and I fell asleep on his chest.

When I woke up I noticed Marcel was no longer on the sofa. I looked and saw him about to walk out of the door. He then looked at me as he took the doorknob in his hand.

“Mary I’ve got to go to work, it’s an emergency. I didn’t want to wake you.”
“Oh alright, will I see you later?”
“I’ll be back at nine”
“Alright see ya”
“Love you”
“Love you more”

He closed the door and I lied back down, he startled me when he opened the door not 4 seconds later and rushed back inside.

“Sorry, I forgot something.”
“Wha – .”

Marcel kissed me, smiled and left. He’s so cute.
