The telephone rang. I woke up on the couch, groggy and disoriented. Bit by bit, everything came back to me. Jake and I fell asleep (FULLY CLOTHED-- nothing happened) on the couch watching TV(okay, not watched, more like made out in front of-- then after awhile we started watching). He woke up and left around 11. He said he'd call me.
***RING RING***
"Hello?" I said groggily.
"Hi Cassie," said a voice, familiar but not Jake's.....not Tobias...
"Am I interrupting a make-out session or can we talk?"
"Marco?" I asked.
"Who else would it be? Can we talk?"
"Yeah shoot what's up?"
" 'The opposite of down. Of course that is in relativity because in anti-gravity there is no down...' or something like that."
"WHAAAAAAAA?"
"Ax-man said that once."
"Oh. Seriously, what. I just woke up." Then I glanced at the clock. WHOA! 9:47! I NEVER slept that late.
"And why would you just be waking up?" Marco inquired with a mischievious tone of voice. I could practically hear his raised eyebrow and ever-present smirk.
"Because Jake and I were up half the night making out like the teenagers we used to be." I said equally mischieviously.
"AHAHAHAHHAHHA!" Marco laughed.
"Well, we spent most of the time we would have normally spent doing that saving the world!" I said indignantly and loudly over his hysterical laughter.
More laughter. He thought this was just hilariously hysterically funny. Which I suppose it was.
"WHAT did you want to say Marco?" I asked impatiently.
"Well, this morning at like 6 I was awakened from a phone call by our good friend-and your more than a friend (haha)- Jake who was hyperactively happy in contrast to his normally depressed self lately. At first I thought he was manic-depressive. Then he told me that you guys are, well, engaged. So I was just calling to say congrats."
"Um, okay, that's nice. Thank you. I think you were probably right about him being manic-depressive. Or at least depressed. We're only getting married if he gets professional help."
"That's great." Marco said, sounding surprised. At that moment, the doorbell rang, so I got out of bed, pulled on my robe, and walked to the door. I peeked
"Oh,no, it's Jake" I muttered under my breath.
Marco must have heard me. "What?" he asked.
"Jake's at the door, and I'm still in my PJ's. I gotta go." I said nervously.
I'll call him on his cell phone to distract him while you put on normal clothes. I am the BS master. I will use redundancy to obscure a lack of topic in my conversation with him." He said.
"Thanks Marco, I owe you one. Bye," I said, hung up, and ran into my room. I quickly threw some jeans and a t-shirt on and pulled a brush through my hair. I ran and opened the door.
"Hi Jake!" I said.
"Hi Cassie," he said. Then, into the cell phone, "She finally opened the door, Marco. Gotta go, bye."
"Hi Jake! What's up?" I asked after he came in.
"Not much, I just..." he trailed off and seemed embarrassed.
"What, Jake?" I asked. I was concerned.
"I just.....had this feeling, y'know? Like I had to be near you. So I came over."
(A/N:SAP! YAY! SAP! ALL TOGETHER NOW- AWWWWwwwwwwwww!!)
I pulled him over to me and hugged him. He bent down and kissed me on the lips, a soft and sweet kiss. We hugged tighter. "I love you." He whispered to me.
My insides melted, and I could just barely reply, "I love you too."
