"Oh Carrie I can't wait for you to meet Marcus." I say breathlessly as I run towards the garage. I see the look of envy in Eric's face as I
pretend to thin of no one but Marcus.
"Hey lover it's all an act" I whisper into his mind.
"I know I just wish it didn't have to be and that we could be together for real."
"I know you want that Eric." I break of the connection and run into Marcus's arms. He scoops me up and plants a big kiss on my lips. I giggle
like a school girl.
"Marcus love this is Carrie." I smile sweetly at her.
"Hey Carrie. I'm Marcus. It's nice to meet you. Lil hasn't stopped talking about you since you met. It was getting kinda annoying really." He
speaks with a smirk on his face and I playfully punch his arm.
"Shutup Marcus I have not" I squeak indifferently. I turn towards Eric and smile. "Cuz why don't you go to the closet and get some sodas. I
hope no one minds, but we made pizza for everyone tonight. I also thought we'ld go down to the media room for the movies. Carrie come with me."
I didn't request her presence I demanded it. I saw her look taken aback.
"Just do what she says." Marcus says with a laugh at the look on Carrie's face."She always gets what she wants anyway." Carrie smiles at Marcus
and starts to follow me.
"Okay so while the boys set up I'm gonna take you on a tour of the house." I smile at her and she chuckles.
"House the freaking place is a mansion Lily." I smile at her. "You don't act all stuck up like I always figured people who lived like this did."
She looks sheepishly at the floor.
"Well thank you. When I was growing up we always had money, but I had to get a job at 16 and work for my spenging money. My parents didn't
want me to be spoiled. I have to say that was the best thing they ever did for me." I look wistfully around the house with a small smile on
my face. I should get an Oscar for my performance. "Well come on we'll start upstairs and work our way down to the game room." She gives a
little nod. I show her the upstairs and thank goodness that Marcus had already moved all his stuff while I was talking with Carrie. I show
her my room and then I show her the room Eric stays in. "This is my cousin Eric's room." She stops as she looks in the room.
"Lily there's something I have to talk to you about." I turn to her with a quizical look on my face.
"What's up Carrie?"
"Ok look I know he's not really your cousin." Damn she was straight forward. "I didn't know that you were the girl Eric was watching because
of that stalker. I work with Eric, but I really do want to be your friend."
"When did you figure out that he was watching me because of that sicko?!" I shreik.
"I didn't figure it out until you told me your address. I was here the night you met Eric. I am so sorry Lily I really didn't know. I really
do want to be your friend. Please I couldn't tell you when you gave me the address. Lily please don't be mad at me." I look at her with
fear in my eyes.
