Marco wasn’t happy when I asked him if he could take me home after dinner.

“Seriously? I thought you were gonna sleep over tonight so I can finally get to fuck you.” He blurted out and I glanced away from him while straightening my jacket. He folded his arms and stared at me with stark disappointment when I face him again, which made me feel a little bad, but I quickly reminded myself that I have free will to decide if I want to sleep with him tonight or not.

“I’m a little tired tonight, and I want to get a lot of rest tonight so by tomorrow morning I’ll be strong enough to find a new job.” I mumbled quietly and Marco sighed while messaging his forehead.

“I won’t say it’s fine, cause it’s not. I’m actually hurt here. It almost feels like you just don’t me to get to have you completely, but you let my brother-” he was still speaking when my eyes narrowed at him while my heartbeat instantly accelerated.

“Don’t say it.” I muttered but he went on anyway.

“You let him have it easily and I doubt if he had to wake this long.” He grumbled and I frowned at bim, feeling annoyed and defensive and guilty at all once.

“Stop bringing up Zane, I don’t like it. It’s now in the past.” I pointed out before adding. “And it almost sounds like you got with me only because of this. It’s barely been two weeks since we got together. We don’t have to sleep with each other just yet, cause there’s no point in rushing cause we’re in a relationship. It’s gonna happen naturally before you know it. Till then, we can just be getting to know each other…”

He ended up cutting me off. “We already know everything about each other. What else is there to know?” He asked and I rolled my eyes.

“A lot of things. For example, my favorite flowers is white lilies, not roses.” I blurted out before I could stop myself. His eyes instantly widened after what I meant dawned on him.

“Oh, I sent the wrong flower that time, didn’t I?” He asked slowly and I huffed.

“Yeah, but it was a sweet gesture and I really do appreciate it.” I assured him before he could get sad and he sighed before stepping closer to me to tug me into a hug. I melted into him after a few seconds, hugging him tight and losing myself to the warm sensation. This is one thing about him that I still really liked, his hugs were so warm and perfect as it used to be in the past.

“I guess I have to drop you off, don’t I?” He asked after the hug ended and I shrugged.

“Not really, only if you want to. I can just get a taxi.” I muttered in reflex, then cussed myself out on the inside. I didn’t have enough money to waste on taxis, but did Marco need to ask me that question if he really wanted to drop me off? The answer was no.

“Oh good, cause I’m famished. Taxi it is then.” He announced, proving my initial thought. He clearly didn’t want to drop me off, else he wouldn’t have asked, he’d have just offered.

I ended up trekking a good mile, then taking the bus the rest of the way home. And I felt grateful that I wore a

my grip on my bag tightened. This setting looked completely different from the one back in Italy. It looks way more official, and some bouncers were standing in the entrance of a large door. People were being allowed in after showing them some sort of tickets, and I quickly texted Zane, asking him if I’d be allowed in. He asked me to just tell them my name, and I was awed when they instantly parted way for me after I told them who I was. One of them even accompanied me, informing me that they were
