NICOLEMarcus and I locked lips, totally caught up in the moment. It was like fireworks exploding in my mouth, and amidst the heat of our kiss, I could taste the saltiness of tearsWhen we finally pulled apart, we just stood there, staring at each other, grinning like two goofballs. I felt this incredible sense of calm and contentment wash over me. Marcus was finally back with me, and it felt damn good.“I was scared. when you started reacting to those damn peanuts, my heart stopped”, Marcus blurted out his eyes still wide with worry“I have no idea how it happened, it must have been some crazy mix up with the order or something”, I replied shaking my head in disbelief “But seriously, how on earth did you manage to find me?" I asked amusedA sheepish smile spread across Marcus' face as he confessed, "Well, let's just say I may or may not have been low-key following you."I couldn't help but chuckle at his admission. "You were following me? That's both creepy and adorable," I teased

NICOLEI woke up the next day, groggily rubbing my eyes, only to find an empty bed. Where the heck was Marcus? I stumbled out of the room, to search for him “Marcus!" I hollered, hoping to get a response, but there was no answer. Seriously, where did that guy disappear to?Just as I was about to give up and go back to grab my phone, I caught sight of him in the distance. He was holding grocery bags like it was his new gig or something. I hustled over to meet him, my curiosity getting the best of me.“When did you wake up, Marcus? I was freaking out when I couldn't find you next to me," I blurted out, a mix of relief and worry evident in my voice.A small smile played on his lips as he leaned in to give me a sweet kiss. "Did you miss me that much?" he teased, his eyes sparkling. "I just went out to grab some groceries. You know how it is, nothing to eat when you wake up, so I had to make an early run."“Oh, gotcha," I replied, feeling a bit sheepish. It dawned on me that I had let

NICOLEI stood up from the table after eating and walked into the bathroom for a bath.The shower water drizzled down on my body as I stood under it.I bumped into Marcus by the door. He gave me a quick nod and said, "Hey, get dressed. I'll take a bath, and then we can move to another place."I gave him a thumbs up, acknowledging the plan, and headed straight to the bedroom. And there it was, my outfit for the day, neatly laid out on the bed courtesy of Mia.I couldn't help but grin when I saw the stylish navy blue, long skirt and the cute white lace shirt. Mia knows my style like nobody else! And as if that wasn't enough, she had placed a dainty pink lotion right next to the clothes. It smelled heavenly, like a bouquet of flowers.I quickly dried myself off with the towel wrapped around my chest and grabbed the pink lotion. Out of nowhere, I heard Marcus's deep, husky voice behind me, "Do you dig the scent?"I turned around, slightly startled, and there he was, towel hanging low ar

NICOLEMarcus and I slept in each other's arms until the crack of dawn.The peacefulness of the morning was interrupted by a knock on the bedroom door, courtesy of Mia's petite figure. Marcus groggily got up from the bed and made his way over to answer it.Mia handed him a little note with a message she wanted to convey. As Marcus read it, his face soured, and he let out a not-so-happy sigh."Hey Nicole, we gotta get moving right now," he said to me, urgency lacing his words.I reluctantly rolled out of bed, shooting Mia a puzzled look. She just shrugged and walked in my direction, leaving me wondering what was going on.Marcus seemed totally zoned out, lost in his own world of thoughts.Mia, on the other hand, draped a loose, long jacket over me and gently guided me out of the bedroom.To my surprise, Marcus didn't protest or question Mia's actions. Instead, he glanced at me and nodded, as if silently approving of what was happening.“Hey, I'll get in touch with you whenever I can.

NICOLE Mia walked in at that moment, bearing in her hands a tray of food.The sweet aroma of the soup filled my nostrils.I smiled happily at Mia,not noticing the murderous jealousy emitting from the man beside me.I felt him grab my hands flipping them over his shoulder,he pressed my body on the bed kissing my lips roughly in front of Mia." Stoopp, Mia's here”, I tried to speak under his kisses.His tongue delved deeper and I heard Mia's footsteps leaving the room.Marcus didn't let go until my head was feeling hazy and I ran out of breath." You really need to stop being jealous of me and Mia, she's just a girl."" No she's not”, Marcus retorted back." You could bring a male body guard if you're that apprehensive of her.""Don't even think about it," he said back immediately.I paid no more attention to him and turned to the food placed on the table by Mia.I savored the taste of the food while Marcus just sat down beside me with a dark face.I finished eating my food and laid b
