She Belongs With Me Chapter 13
Marcus had been strained with work. His company was not making as much money as it used to and his father was on his neck; always criticizing every decision he made and silently judging him with his eyes.Marcus had never been a people pleaser but for his father, he would bend heaven and earth to receive a look of approval, it was that bad.A soft knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, he had been lost in them for a few days now, and it distracted him."Come in," Isabel walked into the large office. She had started dressing more suggestively ever since the coffee incident. That day she spotted a black camisole and a very short skirt, the suit jacket she had matched it with was long gone."Yes, Isabel?" Marcus raked his eyes down her very exposed body but immediately shifted them to his computer. Isabel smirked, a look of accomplishment on her face as she shut the door and strutted towards his table."Here are the files you requested earlier concerning the Singapore deal." She sai

"Somebody looks happy," Elena laughed and ignored her sister's comment, "It's good to see you too, sis.""I saw you a couple of days ago, you weren't that missed." Elena rolled her eyes and sat down at the edge of the hospital bed."How are you feeling?" She asked her sister."Tired; and I have been sleeping all day. Thanks for the flowers though," They both glanced towards the bouquet lying on the visitor's seat."Flowers? I didn't send any flowers, Em.""What? Yes, you did, with chocolates." Elena stood up and walked towards the bouquet. "Did you read the card?" "I didn't see any," Elena dug through the large bouquet of roses for the tiny card. "Here it is," "Read it out," Emily requested. "Yes, Your Highness." Elena mocked and Emily giggled. "It says, 'To Emily, I see you around the cafeteria and I think a girl like you deserves something beautiful for adding such beauty to the world, so here are some roses.' Oh my Wow." Elena turned to Emily, a wide smile on her face. "You ha

"What have you been up to today?" Elena noticed how tired and frustrated Marcus sounded over the phone. She had barely seen him for a week and he had only bothered to reach out a few times, She had tried on her part to call and text but whenever she called he barely picked up, and when he did he sounded like he was in a hurry to get off the phone and whenever she texted he would reply with a word or two or leave her on read. It started to make her wonder if it was because of the kiss he was behaving so distant and that possibility made her angry.Elena knew she was not in the right position to be angry at Marcus over anything, even ignoring her, because she had been having frequent meetings with Gavin over the past week that she had not seen Marcus. Gavin had been amazing, he was kind, and a good listener and he made Elena laugh every time they were together. She knew it was wrong, leading him on like that but with Marcus barely being present in her life except for aiding her financi

So far the hang out was not going great. Gavin had only grunted responses to her questions and barely attempted to make conversation. They were supposed to go to a restaurant first and then a little boat ride to watch the fireworks at night but they had just started their late lunch and Gavin was paying more attention to his phone than her.When they got to the restaurant he glanced at her for a moment and then excused himself to the restroom. Elena was annoyed by this, that was the most uncomfortable car ride she had been on but Gavin seemed unbothered; she at least expected him to say something apart from "I'm going to the bathroom, you can order without me or whatever." Before walking away.When he came back she had not ordered. He looked surprised at first before waving the waiter down to take their orders. After that it was just awkward silence and Gavin pressing his phone with a frustrated look on his face, and once in a while excusing himself to take a phone call. Elena did not

"Where are you going? Are you leaving? I said I was sorry—""This is not about you or us. Gavin, it's fine but I need to leave now.""Did something happen? Is it Emily?" Elena had to petty urge to snap "So now you know her name." But she kept quiet instead and shook her head, the responsible option.She racked her head for excuses, she could not exactly say "My boyfriend needs me," Thinking of the word 'need' made her blush uncontrollably not to talk of saying it."A friend needs my help," was her excuse, technically Marcus was a friend."Right now? The fireworks just started." Gavin said pointing at the colourful show going above them. "I know, but I have to leave now."The fireworks had already begun, a burst of colours in the dark sky, the perfect place to be with a loved one but it was hard to concentrate with the drama and tension around them.Gavin took a step towards her, "I don't want to doubt you but I want you to know that I'm sorry about today and I want a chance to make thi

"I'm coming to your place," Elena wanted to clear things up. Isabel was obviously after Marcus, and Gavin was after her, she could do the right thing here and make peace with everyone by breaking up with Marcus. She did not want to sound materialistic or as a gold digger but her mind wandered to her bills and Emily's surgery. Marcus had kept on giving her more than enough, Her rent wouldn't be due in the next six months and she had paid off more than sixty per cent of her student loans, so the only thing on the ground was Emily's surgery and because they had shifted it, she had more than enough time to take care of it. She just had to start picking up more shifts, her boss would be surprised; but not as surprised as he was when she started dropping shifts."There's no need, I'm good." Marcus sounded terrible, he kept wincing after every sentence."You're still wincing,""No, I'm — ah, no I'm not.""Get off the phone and get some rest I'll be there in a few,""Don't bother, I—" She di

Excuse me?" Marcus asked."I'm just saying, you have someone like Isabel around at your beck and call, why waste time on me? I don't even know where I'm going with my life, I am a liability to you." Elena ranted."Have I ever said that?""No, but look at the circumstances we met. It just doesn't look like the perfect meet to tell our kids.""You want kids?" He asked, his eyes widening."Not the point but I — why do you look so terrified?" Elena backtracked, she had never seen Marcus like that before."I— I'm not terrified," he shifted a bit away from her. "Is it what I said about the kids thing? I didn't mean that, I mean I want kids but not with you— that didn't sound better, forget I said that— where are you going?" While she was ranting, Marcus had stood up from the bed and was slowly backing out of the room."I need to clear my head," was his reply."You're not too strong to be walking about, if you want I can leave.""Don't worry about it, I'll go. You stay," he said shuffling hi

"Isabel," Marcus said, his eyes narrowing at her as he got up from the bed and put on his shirt. He did this without sparing a glance at a flushed Elena. "Why are you here?""Sorry to interrupt your… activities," She did not look sorry, she looked seething."I thought we covered everything you needed me for for the day," "We did.""But?" "I'm going to go," Elena said standing up from the bed, her cheeks red from embarrassment, she had been adjusting her dress the entire time.Marcus wanted to tell her to stay, he looked like he wanted to drive Isabel out of the building that instant just for Elena to not leave but he knew Isabel, she was going to stay and she was going to make Elena's life miserable the entire time."Okay," he could tell that Elena did not like that answer, she looked hurt, used and possibly pathetic. She hurriedly picked up her things and brushed past Isabel who managed to slide in a "see you later," in the most venomous voice known to man.Marcus sighed as he wat

Gavin was almost done with what seemed like the worst day ever.The meeting with his lawyers didn't go quite well. There was a lot of money still pending, and they were not happy with this. They gave him his ex-wife's list of demands to meet the compromise he had offered her, and well, it was very demanding.The only thing that made him smile was hearing Pearl talk about Elena. Her voice was still sleepy, but she talked on and on; he couldn't help but feel a little bit of pride, but it was immediately followed up by regret. If he hadn't screwed things up, it would have been him that introduced Elena to the family.After Pearl fell back asleep, he picked up his laptop and tried to do some work, but he couldn't just focus, so he dropped the laptop and went downstairs; that was when he heard Marcus and Benjamin fighting with each other. He rushed into the living room to separate them because if there was one thing their grandfather hated, it was stupid fights in his house.He managed to

Elena was still on the phone with Henry when she saw Marcus walk into the house from the corner of her eye. She assumed he had some work to do inside and couldn't wait around for her to be done with the call, but she wanted him to stay and finish up what he was saying. She may have been wrong, but it seemed like Marcus was about to tell her that he loved her.If he did, that would change a lot of things about their relationship. It would finally be a mature and serious one, and she could tell him how she felt too. So, she quickly wrapped up her conversation with Henry and walked inside in search of Marcus; instead, she found Isabel."Look who it is," Isabel said, a disgusted look on her face as she sized Elena up and down."Good to see you again, Isabel," Elena said, deciding to take the highway and not stoop down to Isabel's level."I wish I could say the same. Somehow, you've managed to manoeuvre your way even deeper into Marcus's life to the point that you make him take you along

Elena's ringtone disrupted the moment and made Marcus stop talking."I'll just silence it," Elena said, reaching into her back pocket to silence her phone."No, no, it's fine you can take it," Marcus said. He didn't trust himself not to tell her exactly how he felt if they were left alone."Are you sure?" Elena asked, a bit uncertain."Yes, I'm sure. It could be important,"Elena nodded and answered the call, "Hello?""Elena," the person on the other line cleared his throat, a bit nervous, "It's Henry." Her supervisor. Elena's face morphed into one of surprise, "Hi, Henry, I'm sorry I don't have your number saved. I thought I told you I was taking the week off. Didn't you see my email? I thought you approved it—""I did. I know you took the week off; I approved it. I was just um, checking in, wondering if you're alright. " Henry said he was sounding a bit more confident."Oh yes, I'm fine, thanks for calling," Elena replied, then mouthed the words "my supervisor" to Marcus, who nodde

She walked upstairs, completely outraged, and pulled the door to their room open. Marcus was seated on the armchair in the corner of the room, working on his laptop, but he closed it when he saw the look on her face."Is something wrong? Did my family do something—" he had already stood up, ready to go fight with whoever had made her upstairs, but she stopped him."How could you give my sister that kind of amount and not tell me?!" Marcus looked at her confused before it dawned on him, "Oh, right, the money. I didn't think it was a big deal; I was just trying to help,""She didn't ask for your help! Neither did Derek," Elena replied."It was a gift; they didn't have to ask," Marcus defended."You could have at least had the decency to tell me,""I didn't think it would bother you so much, and quite frankly, I'm a bit confused about why you're upset; it's not the first time I've helped out without you knowing about it.""That doesn't make it okay!""Can you just come right out and tel

Elena watched as Marcus stood at the door, talking to Gavin. It made her really nervous. What if he was telling Marcus about their relationship? Would he do something like that?Her heart skipped a couple of beats when Marcus crossed his arms, a defensive look on his face. She couldn't breathe peacefully until Marcus turned to her, "Babe, Gavin wants to see you," he said casually and then gestured for Gavin to come into their room, then he left.Elena breathed out a sigh of relief; at least Gavin wasn't that selfish. And even if he did tell Marcus, he would have ended up with a broken nose and probably a broken jaw, too."I guess this is where the magic happens," Gavin said sarcastically as he walked into the room properly, hands tucked in his jeans."What do you want?""A favour," he said simply, and Elena snorted in response."I'm serious. I need your help," he said, his voice much more serious. Elena straightened up a bit and arched an eyebrow at him, "with what?""Pearl, my daught

"So, what are we going to do today?" Elena asked Marcus when they were in the privacy of their room after breakfast.As soon as she asked, there was a knock on the door, "Marcus! We have a lot to do today; we better give it a headstart!" Came Isabel's voice from the other side of the door.Marcus groaned in annoyance, "That, I'm going to be doing that. It's really frustrating that she's here, and my dad just had to add to it by making us host our investors!" Marcus complained as he ran his hands through his hair. "Marcus!" Isabel knocked again, this time louder, the entire east wing of the mansion could hear her now."I'll see you in the study, Isabel!" Marcus yelled back. There was a small huff and then the retreating of heels."Has she been here before?" Was Elena's next question. Marcus stilled a bit, "Yeah, a couple of times. You know how friendly my grandma is; she's always open to her coming around. We've also held some events here, and she's been around to manage them," he ans

"That's no way to greet a lady, Marcus," Lori said sternly."I'm sorry, grandma, it's just that this is supposed to be a family thing, and she didn't tell me she was coming," Marcus replied to his grandmother, but his eyes were narrowed at Isabel, who put on a sickly sweet smile that was obviously very fake. Marcus could see right through it. Isabel didn't smile a lot, and she definitely would not be smiling, especially after their last encounter before he left for the mansion, and especially not after he had been busying her calls since he came."I haven't been able to reach you; I was worried. And besides, we have lots of work to catch up on,""I know. I read your emails," he snorted. He looked away from her and pulled out a seat for Elena, who had not said anything since they got downstairs. She and Isabel did not have the best track record."Well, you're always welcome, Isabel," Lori said."Yeah, you always are," Benjamin added and winked at Isabel, but she scoffed and looked away

"Gavin" was the only word Elena could say. She cleared her throat and turned to him. He looked different, more relaxed, no more eye bags; he looked as good as he did when they first met.He walked towards her and sat down on a vacant stool beside her."What are you doing here? And with Marcus?" The tone in which he asked made Elena snap back to reality. He had no damn right to demand an answer or to be so angry at her."I could ask you the same thing, Gavin. Why didn't you tell me you had a daughter?" She fired back, and he visibly tensed."It never came up," he muttered."Really? Because we had several moments where we talked about our childhood and several intimate moments, and you didn't think your six-year-old was an important topic to bring up?" She countered."Elena," his voice was calmer now."I shouldn't be here talking to you," she said and stood up, but he held her hand, stopping her."Does he know?" He asked, referring to Marcus."No," "So the whole time we were—""He knew

Elena felt her food hang in her throat, and she started choking. It wasn't the best reaction to the news or the best impression on Marcus's family, but that was what happened. She was too stunned to swallow properly.Marcus quickly handed her a glass of water and patted her back softly."Are you okay?" He asked her, and she nodded."I'm just, I—" she stopped herself. Marcus could not know about her and Gavin. It would ruin everything, and there was no point she and Gavin were through. There was nothing but history between them, especially since he lied to her; he didn't tell her he had a kid."Is this meal too much of a change from what you're used to?" Benjamin asked, taunting her with his words. Marcus glared at him, "Control your mouth, or I'll do it for you," Marcus warned, but Benjamin just rolled his eyes."Gavin, baby, come over here and give your grandma a hug," Lori insisted. Gavin, who had been standing still in total shock, shook out of it and walked over to Lori to hug he
