"What? " He touched my elbow and asked me, worry laced in his voice.
I brought my hands down and saw his eyes gleaming in realization as he looked behind me.
"You two are dating? "
I looked at them as Marcus asked them in a shocked tone.
Sarah was blushing crimson red. Steve was smirking at Sarah, seeing her blushing furiously. She harshly elbowed his stomach , pushing him away and he groaned in pain.
"Yes" Steve chirped happily, earning an angry glare from Sarah. She looked at me and gave me an apologetic smile.
"You better not cheat on her or I'll murder you and dump your body in the East river"
Steve gulped nervously looking back and forth between me and Marcus as I threatened him.
I heard a chuckle beside me and I turned to see Marcus smiling at me with a glint of mischief in his eyes.
"Let's get some coffee before they start smooching again." Marcus wrapped his arm around my waist and led me to the coffee machine.
I looked up to see him staring down at me. A small smile curled his lips.
"Let's go before they started smooching" Steve said loudly before hurrying out the door as if a rabid dog was chasing him.
"That piece of-" I started.
Marcus laughed lightly and handed me a cup of coffee.
"Don't mind him. He likes teasing people"
"Then they are a match made in heaven" I said with an eye roll.
It was late evening and I was standing at the entrance of the building waiting for my dearest secretary to pick me up.
I arrived here with Sarah in the morning, but now she was nowhere to be seen. Probably cuddling that blond koala bear.
Suddenly a sleek black car came into my sight. It's windows rolled down and Marcus's head popped out.
"You coming?"
"Uh- yeah sure. Why not?" I gave out a dry laugh and got in.
The drive was silent but I saw him glancing at me several times. And every time he looked I shifted uncomfortably in the seat.
Within few minutes we arrived at his house and I greeted Madeline before going to my room.
But Marcus suddenly held my hand and stopped me.
"Where are you going? "
"To my room" I pointed to my room and said in an obvious tone.
"Come to mine"
My eyes widened in shock.
"But my things-"
Before I could finish Marcus dragged me to his room.
"I already told Madeline to move your things to my room"
"You did?"
"Yeah uh-" He ran his hand through his hair. "Umm- is it okay?"
"Well-" I cut off by the sight of his room. A large king size bed sat on the middle next to the thick white curtains covering the long glass windows. The wall behind the bed was painted in black while the others in white. Against one wall was a white couch inlaid with fine silk while on another hanged a large TV in between the two tall book shelves.
I had never properly been in his room before. The last time I came in here he shouted at me to get out. I was surprised by how much things had changed since then.
Now I'm officially here. That's good right?
I walked to the closet and saw my clothes neatly placed beside his.
"Are you fine with it or?
"No I'm fine" I gave him a small smile and his face beamed.
"I'll take a shower and come" He took his clothes from the closet and walked to the bathroom.
After he came I went inside and again went back into my old habits of talking to the mirror. Even though I said it was okay I was feeling a lot embarrassed and also happy about getting invited to sleep in his room.
After a shower I changed into a creme t-shirt and blue shorts. "You can do this Rowan. You can do this" I murmmed to myself.
I opened the bathroom door and saw Marcus already on the bed working on his laptop.
He patted the bed beside him and I walked slowly towards the him while playing with the hem of my t-shirt.
As I got on the bed he closed his laptop and crept under the sheets next to me.
He stared at me with something close to adoration glinting in his eyes. I must be crazy. From that I came to the conclusion that I suck at reading faces.
To break the awkward silence between us I decided to speak.
"Did you have any nightmares yesterday?"
He shook his head in a no.
"How?"
He cupped my cheek with his hand and stroked it slightly with his thumb.
"You are my cure" he whispered softly.
I squinted my eyes in confusion and the corners of his lips twitched into a small smile.
"My billionaire cure"
I woke up to deep green eyes staring at me. I blinked my eyes until my vision cleared, earning a chuckle from Marcus.
"Hey"
I was so sleepy that I didn't even think properly before snuggling into the warm chest in front of me.
A small laugh echoed through the room and my eyes widened realising what I had just done. I quickly leaned back and gave Marcus an apologetic smile.
