Chapter two
I walked up to Marco's house. Some what hesitant, but nether less I knocked on the door. Immediately following my knock I heard, "WAIT I'LL BE RIGHT THERE WAIT WAIT!", followed by pounding footsteps. Marco appeared at the door, with a shocked look on his face. Understandable I guess, since I walked up to his door bawling like a baby. Not normal characteristics of Xena- Warrior Princess.
" Rach! What's wrong hun?" He said as he have me a hug and lead me inside with his arm around my waist. "Here sit down" He pointed to the couch and sat down next to me. He gave me another hug and I just kinda sank into his arms, liking the comforting warmth. I put my head on his shoulders and cried. He slowly rubbed his hand against my back. I slowly started to lift my head up and stopped crying as much so I could explain what was wrong.
"Ahh ahh, To- b-i ahh, eh eh eh is", I slowly started to stutter out before Marco stopped me putting his index finger up to my lips.
"Here let me get you something to drink and eat, while I'm doing that you try and calm down babe." He said as he got up and gave me a kiss on the forehead.
As he left to go into the kitchen, I started to think a little bit about Marco. Lately he has grown up a lot. He hasn't entirely stopped with the stupid jokes, and he is still is a "tad" bit egotistical, but he is a pretty nice guy. I finally stopped crying, and became calmer as Marco walked back into the living room with chicken soup, crackers, and a water. I ate a little bit, and then decided to tell Marco my dilemma.
" Okay, well here's my problem. For the past couple of weeks , Tobias has been acting so mean to me. I don't understand why, I try everything to hang out with him, and to talk to him , and he just blows me off. I don't know why I have been acting like this, practically giving up all other aspects of my life just to try and be with him. I have got in countless arguments with my mother because I want to go out and so does she, she cant leave my sisters at home by themselves. She usually gives up and stays home, sometimes, and when she does stay home I end up coming home a half an hour later because Tobias changed his mind. I never get like this. I actually thought to myself , that he is doing this because of me, because I am doing something wrong. I love him, but I don't want to feel like this for someone who doesn't seem to care about me. I went to go see him today at Cassie's and he looked so excited until he saw it was me, then he just turned his back to me..." I explained as tears began to form in my eyes, and slowly each hot tear melted down my face.
Marco didn't say a thing, he just looked at me, wiped my tears away, and held me , gently rubbing my back, I melted into him into his warmth, resting my head on his shoulders. I didn't even matter to me that he didn't answer be back, just feeling loving warmth around me was comfort no words could give me. I looked up at him at the same time he looked up at me, our faces barely an inch away, I don't know if I was just feeling vulnerable or if I really just wanted him. But we kissed first, our lips just barely brushed, then we just kind of pulled away from each other by maybe three inches, looked back at each other. And kissed again, first small kisses, then longer more passionate kisses. Then slowly I started unbuttoning his shirt, after I had all the buttons off I pulled it off. He lifted my shirt up off me , and we just stayed that way for a little, kissing, then he started to undo my pant buttons.
