A week had passed since I last spoke to Elaine and Marcus.
It still hurts when I think about how a small matter brought my relationship with them to an end. But it hurts even more when I know I was the one who had made it all happen.
I sighed.
"Serene!" Mrs Janet's voice boomed, causing me to jump as I broke out of my thoughts. "Pay attention to class, mid-year exams are very near!" She scolded, tapping her pen on my table. I felt my face flush. "Sorry.." I mumbled numbly. "Tsk," and with that Mrs Janet went back to her lesson.
At the corner of my eye, I caught Elaine staring at me. But she looked swiftly away as I turned around.
If this carries on, I told myself.
I'll fail my mid-years.. And so I straightened my back and prepared myself for the horrendously tedious lesson ahead.
♥♥♥Turning on my radio, I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling. "Aaaahh I'm beat." I closed my eyes and listened to the music.
♫ I don’t wanna run away, baby you’re the one I need tonight,
No promises.
Baby, now I need to hold you tight, I just wanna die in your arms
I don’t want to run away, I want to stay forever, through Time and Time..
No promises ♫"Eh? No Promises? What a time to broadcast such a song." I said miserably.
♫ Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry
And everything, it will surely change
Even if I tell you I won't go away today ♫"Permanent now?! Geez."
And a hell lot more sad songs than happy songs were being broadcasted.
Damn, I thought bitterly as I switched off my radio.
What's with the sad songs? I'm stressed out enough.I walked across my room. Opening the stubborn shutters of my window, I glanced up. "It's a full moon tonight, Raine." I smiled to my dog. "And during this particular period of time, Marcus and I would usually sneak out to the beach, staring up at the moon, letting the breeze caress our hair." I laughed. "Seems alot like we're a couple eh? But during this particular night, we don't. And maybe never."
When I see the moon; I think of you
When I see the stars; I remember you
I feel incomplete without you,
'cause them both made me think of you
I wish to the star I see tonight
Now I wish with all my might
I plead my wish come true,
I want to be with you
I cried silently to myself. I couldn't help but think, how did it turn out this way? It was horrible, being apart from the ones you loved.
You're so melodramatic, my mind scolded as usual. I wiped away my tears and sniffed.
"Come on, Raine." I ordered my dog as I began to walk off. Raine walked beside me loyally, silently, as if sensing the distress.
"Serene."
I froze. That unmistakenable voice. No doubt it's..
Clinging onto my window(Well, it's only a two-floored house. He's been doing that for a couple of years. It was no surprise.), is Marcus. The first ridiculous thing that came to my head, "What're you doing?" He gave me a long look. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm
visiting." He said sarcasticly.
"What for? You could just come in by the main door, anyway."
And I thought you didn't care about me anymore.Making himself a comfortable position on the window, he looked at the sky. "I'm worried." He looked at me with hurt eyes. "Elaine told me you've been spacing out, alot. And you wouldn't let me in even if I did."
Dammit, bullseye. "Why do you care?"
Elaine Elaine Elaine.. Blahblahblah. Lies.He jumped off from the window and walked toward me. He held me firm by my shoulders and looked into my eyes, hard. I tried not to flinch. "'Cause I love you." Pain and fury flared in my eyes. I knocked his hands away, glaring. "LIES! You love Elaine, don't you? Also, almost a week had already passed, and you're telling me this now?" I shook my head. "I don't believe you!" I stalked out of my door, and Marcus, of course, was right at my heel. I swung open the front door and stood by him. "Get out." Pain stung me as hurt flashed across his eyes at my words. "Please, Serene, I don't want it to end like this." He begged. "It already did." I replied coldly.
He sighed and pulled me to him. Soon I was in his arms. "Wh-Wh-" I stammered stupidly. "Believe me." He whispered. "You're so melodramatic." I said, the corner of my mouth lifting the slightest. He smiled, "Same to you." Then he leaned down.
"Hold it!" I raised a hand to his face. He stared at me confusingly. "You ain't gonna kiss me with the damned door wide open are ya? It's
freezing!" I shivered literally. Not moving an inch, he slammed the door shut with his leg. I gave him a long look. "What?" He smirked. "You're such an ass, Marcus." I sighed, shaking my head.
♥♥♥Then on that very night, where the full moon shone proudly, our relationship took a step deeper.
His kiss was soft and gentle, unlike others who just pratically crash their lips to yours and mould you into them. His lips parted slightly, my heart skipped a beat.
I'll so totally kill myself if my legs gave up on me. The kiss lingered all over, from the very tip to the very end. As long as the kiss lasted, it eventually had to come to an end. "Whoa." Was all I could say as we breathed heavily after the kiss. "Yeah." He grinned down at me and kissed my forehead. I smiled at him.
"WOOF!"
"Gah!" I jumped in Marcus's arms. He immediately broke into a thunder of laughter. "That wasn't funny!" I said through my teeth. Something warm snuggled against my leg, Raine. She looked up at me with sparkling eyes. "You saw all that, didn't you?" I sneered. She wagged her tail. I gave her a long look. Marcus laughed.
"It's gonna be just you and me, baby."
Together we feel the night breeze;
Together the birds fly free
Tonight I express my craze;
Since it's just you and me
