SANITY TO MY WORLD
LILY'S POV
There were many other fun places we wanted to venture into but Marcus checked the time and we had spent a huge deal of our time already. With a huge smile, I came out of the game house, with the tiny teddy bear and the huge teddy bear.
"Have this one!" I said as I shoved the smaller teddy bear into Marcus' face.
"I won it for you," Marcus said, looking a little confused by my actions.
"Well, I am giving it to you as a gift. Just take it!"
"Alright, I'll take it and think of you whenever I see it" Marcus said and my heart literally skipped a beat. Maybe he said that thoughtlessly and without any emotion attached to his words but it felt like a ball of beautiful fire was dropped on my heart and was burning away my defences. Marcus finally collected it and began to walk towards his car with me slowly walking behind him - his words swirling in my head.
He was about seven paces to his car when rain suddenly started to shower. Out of instinct and reflex, I tried to tuck the huge teddy bear in my hand inside my jacket to prevent it from getting wet as I jogged to the car. Marcus opened the door to the shot gun seat for me and I entered quickly. He jogged around the car and entered into the driver's seat and soon we hit the road.
As he drove, the rain increased and became quite heavy and it was hard for Marcus to keep driving in such poor weather conditions. He tried to drive further and drove close to his house as mine was still farther.
"I can't continue driving in this rain. Do you think you can spend the night with me? As in, in my house?" Marcus asked.
This is freaking January! What is up with the heavens and releasing rain at the most unnecessary of times? What is up with rain and rending the heavens at the wrongest of times? Or, in a more sane term, what is up with the rain falling whenever I am with Marcus and cornering us to spend the night together? This was totally delirious and hilarious!
There was no one to answer my stupid rhetorical questions. Meanwhile, I had to answer Marcus' realistic question.
"Yeah, I guess I have no option"
He honked at the front of his gate and five seconds later, the gate slid open. The compound was quite large, that I could tell, despite the rain. There were about five flats in the huge white painted building and Marcus' mini flat is located downstairs.
As we entered into his mini flat, I stood by the door as Marcus pulled off his shoes and ran further into his house. He came back some seconds later with a big black towel in his hand and handed it to me as I reluctantly released my teddy bear to him.
He placed a hand on the small of my back and ushered me into the room properly.
There was a not - too - big, not - too - small television on the wall and covering his windows were silky green and black curtains. He had a one seater couch and a three seater couch in the small space that served as his living room. He opened a room I was sure was his bedroom and came out with a white robe.
As he was coming out, I sneaked a peek into the bedroom of Marcus Ranks and I saw his queen sized bed with a white and grey coloured sheet covering it.
"Uhmmm, I don't really have people over so I'm really confused on what to do when I have someone around, especially since it's impromptu" Marcus said scratching the back of his head and looking around his home.
The rain increased and I could hear the patters of the rain hitting the glass windows with so much force. Was the heavens angry?
"I think I would like to take a hot bath. Let's start with that!" I said as I reached out for the robe in his hand.
"Exactly! I actually thought of that when I got the robe but as I stepped into here, I suddenly forgot what I wanted…"
"Relax Mr Ranks. This is not the first time we are spending the night together. I promise to stay away from your lane as much as possible. You seem like someone who really enjoys your privacy!" I said standing up and slightly annoyed that he was acting uncomfortable with my being around. I did not also want this situation! As I walked past him to enter his bedroom and have a warm shower, he suddenly caught my hand and spun me around.
"What if…what if I want you to invade that privacy" Marcus said in a whisper my ear as I latched onto his chest due to how sudden he had twirled me
"Mar..Marcus, what are you saying?" I asked as I tried to free myself from him.
"I…I like you Lily and I just find myself thinking about you almost all the time. You invade my thoughts without permission and you infiltrate my senses whenever you are around. I know what I am saying and what I am saying, is that I want you" Marcus said and this time around, my heart stopped.
His large hands spread on either side of my waist as he looked me into my eyes.
"Do you feel different Lily Mark or am I stuck in a lone world with only a shadow of you?" Marcus asked.
Without thinking and letting go of processes and every reason why what I was doing at the moment was wrong and dangerous, I said softly, in a voice that sounded foreign to me - it sounded tender and true - "I feel same Marcus Ranks"
I wrapped my arms around his neck and the beating of our hearts that was in sync and harmony was heard in our ears as I did something unexpected and brought my lips to his. I kissed him with fervour, pouring my heart and love into it. My eyes closed and my mouth opened to the sweetness that flowed from his heart to his lips. He kissed me back with greater fervour and pressed me closer to himself. He guided my back to the nearest wall and lifted me from the floor. I wrapped my legs around his waist and we paused the kiss for that moment as we looked into each other's eyes.
Everything that was happening felt so freaking surreal. I could not believe I was kissing Marcus Ranks…again! I could not believe Marcus Ranks just told me that he liked me with such sincerity and genuineness.
MARCUS' POV
I just told Lily that I liked her. Why was I doing this? Why was I leading her on? Was it because I wanted to know if she was involved with those after Martha or because I really liked…
No, that could not be. Lily was like…was like…
Oh, for fucks sake, why couldn't I get my wits right around her. I know what I was after. I want to get to her phone and carry out Mr Jordan's next step of plan but what would become of us if she were to find out that I was…I was using her. Am I really using her or am I truly falling for her? The answer to this would be a later decision because GOD helped her and me because I was losing all strands of rationality as I kissed her.
I could not tell when, I could not tell how but I know that somehow along the line, I had begun to follow the steps of an underground path that led to Lily. When she would not pick up after our departure from Martha's house, I thought about a lot of things. My mind was far from whether she was part of those that were bad or whether she herself was bad. All I wanted was her…safe and fine. I always thought I was in love with Martha…I was, but that was in the past but the present right now was that I like Lily and I felt strongly that my future would have her in it.
Her lips felt too good…so good…right on mine..right for me!
I opened the door and led us to my bedroom. I sat on the bed and placed her on top of me. As she sat on me, I could feel my little monster growing beneath her.
What if I scare her? Do I want to really do this with her? I was not ready to go that far with her just to get pieces of information. That would be too much!
As she broke the kiss again, I looked into her eyes and her glassy eyes showed desire and enticing lust. I wanted to fall and drown into the depths of all she was radiating at that moment. With one swift movement, she pulled her small top from her and her bralette came into display before me. My mouth literally salivated and I'm sure my eyes were bulging at that moment. She packed her hair in a messy bun quickly and I turned the both of us, her back on the bed and I between her legs.
"Marcus…" Lily called and it was the most melodious way my name had ever been called. I could stay listening to her call me like that all day.
We continued kissing and I would be a liar if I said I could understand how or when my polo shirt came off me.
Lily's slender fingers trailed from my collar bone and down to the top of my trouser. I kissed her navel and she took a deep breath. I kissed my way up and kissed the top of her porcelain skin cleavage and I felt her hand on my hair. Her legs had arched and with ready fingers, I unhooked her bralette and her boobs came in view.
"Christ!" I exclaimed softly as I withdrew from her and took a minute to look at her. I guess she became shy under my gaze as she stopped looking at me and began to look towards the direction of my wardrobe and used one of her hands to cover her breasts.
"Don't hide from me Lily. Let me see you!" I said and she gradually released her hand from her breasts. I had seen boobs and come freely in contact with so many, though I abstained from some, I had never seen any as beautiful as Lily's. It looked too delicate for my lips but like a starved beast, I kept my eyes trained on hers and latched on her left nipple.
"Aaaahn'' I heard her moan and her fingers dug into my back. I couldn't care less as I sucked on it and placed my hand on her right nipple and began to flick it. Her moans increased as I paid attention to the other boob with my fingers and soon I switched - my warm mouth on her right nipple and my finger on her wet left nipple.
When I felt mildly satisfied, I brought my lips to hers and kissed her with all of me. Teasing her tongue, searching the crevices of her mouth and pouring my feelings to her.
I stopped when I felt a wetness from her face on mine and I gradually withdrew from the kiss.
"Lily?" I asked or more of breathed as I sat on the bed and guided her to a sitting position.
"Talk to me Lily, what is going on? Did I hurt you!"
She shook her head immediately and I was relieved that I was not the cause of her tears.
"I…I just feel so happy with you here with me. And…I just can't believe that anyone would like me. You make me feel different Marcus, you bring sanity to my world"
