Chapter 11: What Happens in Yellowstone, Stays in Yellowstone. Marcus POV
As we drove through the Northwest United States we laughed and played around. We stopped in Montana because Sofi wanted to mess with a geyser. Crazy as she was I couldn't resist giving her anything she wanted. Charlotte made fun of me for that but I couldn't resist her gorgeous smile and big blue-green eyes, they were like the Caribbean Ocean. Anyway, back to Montana.
"Oh my gods! Did you see that?!" Sofi squealed with delight jumping up and down like a little school girl. She ran over to me and jumped into my waiting arms.
"That was awesome Babe!" I told her hugging her tight. She had just made a geyser freeze.
"This is absolutely the coolest thing ever! But why didn't it work before I knew?" she asked turning her head to the side quizzically.
"Well it probably did but since you didn't focus you wouldn't have been able to tell." I explained.
I realized her friends were looking at us funny because we were just standing there talking with her legs wrapped around my waist and me carrying her.
"Let's go before Charlotte makes a hole in the ground." I whispered in her ear.
She giggled and hopped down before we walked back over to her friends who were discussing the pillar of ice in the middle of Yellowstone National Park.
"Sofi can you melt it?" Natalie asked.
"Yeah." Sofi said. 5 seconds later the whole pillar came crashing down behind us.
"Nice." I laughed as I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her hair.
"You guys got serious fast." Charlotte said out of the blue staring at us strangely.
"Actually they haven't even kissed," Natalie said, Sofia gave her a funny look, "It's an Aphrodite thing."
"Oh..." Was all Sofi said.
I realized Sofi wanted us to kiss but because everything was so public lately we haven't really had alone time.
"Yes, well on a less prying not we best be going." Sofi said taking my hand and pulling me back to the car.
Charlotte and Natalie went in first.
I held Sofia back.
"Sofi, did what they say hurt you?" I asked her carefully hoping it was what she wanted to hear.
"No. It's just..." she began, "Marcus do you love me?"
"Yes." I said without hesitation.
"How much?" she asked turning to look me direction in the eye with those big beautiful blue-green orbs of innocence and love.
"I love you more than..."
Sofia POV
I was so mad at Charlotte and Natalie for talking about my relationship with Marcus like it was the new episode of their favorite TV show. I wanted to know if he loved me. And I mean really loved me. I mean he's said it before but did her actually mean it? He hadn't even tried kissing my cheek! It was all hand-holding and hugs and kisses on the top of the head. Like I was his sister or something. I mean is it wrong to want a little more romance than that? Don't get me wrong I don't want to speed through the relationship...but a girl wants more.
"I love you more than life itself. If you were to die I'd die with you. If you cry I do too. You're my life now and forever. I'll never let you go, or let anything hurt you." as he said this tears welled up in my eyes and one slowly slipped down my cheek. He pulled me close and held me close whispering in my ear, "I love you always."
"Always." I whispered back.
