Strange relationship part II
"Are you going to tell me about it or should I just assume the worst? I'm still waiting here, Robin…" Marian reminded him with a slight tremble in her voice.
Robin could not speak. Nothing seemed to feel right- no words were sufficient to express how sorry he was. In that She sounded so sad and hurt. Well, duh, what had he expected her to feel? Overwhelming joy?
"Where did you find it?" he asked quietly in lack of better things to say.
She let out a slight laugh. "Geez Robin, think back, where was the last place you had sex? That should pretty much answer your question," she shut her eyes and she sniffled a little.
"Sweetheart, I know how bad this must look but if someone had sex in my bed last nigh, it sure as hell wasn't me," he exclaimed with a voice full of emotion.
"Are you sure?" she asked hesitantly."
"Yes!" he answered and looked her straight in the eyes without blinking.
He had been lying to her about a lot of things but this part was actually true… well technically, anyway… Him and Clarissa had never made it as far as to the bed. Instead they had settled for mad drunken sex on the bedroom floor… It had been fast, messy and so not worth the ride.
There was a few seconds of silence and then Marian sighed. "I actually believe you, how retarded is that..," she sniffled again, her eyes watering. " I don't understand why things like this always happens to me. I mean, I know I'm not exactly a beauty queen, but am I really that repulsing?," she whispered and let out a heart-wrenching sob.
"Aww, sweetheeart, you are nothing but beautiful to me," he soothed with a hard knot in his own throat as he scooted closer to her on the couch.
"Marian, listen to me carefully… You haven't done anything wrong and there is nothing about you that could ever repulse me," he said softly and pulled her into his arms even though Marian was slightly reluctant.
"Liar, you hardly ever touch me and when you do it's just a hug or a kiss, never… you know," she trailed off and looked up at him.
"There have been several times where I wanted nothing more then to drag you to the nearest bed and make sweet passionate love to you, trust me, but I didn't want to scare you away or pressure you into anything."
"I would have come willingly."
"Yeah, well I didn't know that. We have never really talked about this and since you are a bit younger then me, I kind of figured…Uhm…I wasn't sure you were ready, that's all…"
"That's sweet but I'm old enough to make my own decisions… Look Robin, I don't want to have to go through anything like this ever again. I really like you and I'll give you a second chance, but if I ever catch you as much as eyeing another woman I'll dump you in a heartbeat. Is that understood?!"
"Eye, eye, captain," he said jokingly and saluted her. "I know I haven't been 100 committed to this relationship but from now on things will change," he promised with a reassuring smile and wasn't all to surprised when he realised that he actually meant it.
There was something about this girl. He wasn't sure what it was. But he genuinely liked her…
