Hello this is the next installment for Leaving Marks. Hope you like it.
"Um… Thank you." I stuttered, looking down.
"You're Welcome?" He asked confused.
"Its better then running away crying isn't it?" I pointed out, looking up at him.
"Definitely better." He agreed, a small smile playing on his lips.
"I thought so!" I smirked. I somehow got more comfortable with the situation.
"Will there, by any chance be a possibility of a repeat?" He asked with a smirk of his own.
"What do you think?" I told him with a stern face, and then I smiled widely.
He took this as a yes and leaned in again, and I happily complied.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and tangled my hands in his hair. He placed his arms around my waist and interlocked his fingers behind my back.
I heard footsteps coming towards us but I didn't pay any attention to it. Then I heard a couple coughs trying to get our attention. Tristan didn't pull away.
Tristan finally heard them, when the coughs got louder and reluctantly pulled away. We both stood there looking at each other with our arms around each other. We slowly turned our heads to find Mom smiling proudly at me, Katie smirking, looking very happy, and Jason looking exactly like Kats.
"What?" Tristan and I asked simultaneously.
"You made out in Rome!" Mom exclaimed proudly.
"Did you ever know that you're my hero?" She started to sing, loudly.
"Oh God, no! Not again!" I said, in mock annoyance.
"This has happened before?" Tristan asked, clearly amused.
"Yep, when she started a fight, at a party, that was raided by cops." Mom explained, with a look on her face that could only be described as pride.
"I did not start the fight! Dean did, Jess protected me, and they were both fighting over me." I clarified.
"I have competition?" Tristan asked, a hint of worry in his voice.
"Nope, no competition" I answered, giving him a reassuring smile.
"You two finally figured it out!" Katie exclaimed happily, as she clapped her hands together.
"It took you both forever!" Jason commented.
"How long is forever?" I asked, wondering exactly how long Tristan had liked me.
"About 3 years" Jason replied.
I looked back up at Tristan and saw him smiling shyly. Suddenly, something in my brain clicked, and it all made sense.
"Dean was right! Dean was right! I can't believe Dean was right!"
I shouted over and over.
"What was he right about hun?" Mom asked.
"He said Tristan had a thing for me." I replied, shaking my head at my own gullibility.
"Now you have a thing for him too. I have to say I'm a little disappointed in you. I mean he looks like an Abercrombie God, let him call you whatever he wants!" Mom replied excitedly.
"Well I did not like having a nickname based on my sexual status" I answered glaring back up at Tristan.
"Well sorry!" Tristan responded. "I didn't know you hated it that much!"
"I only told you everyday. But in all fairness I didn't hate it as much after a while. I started to like it actually." I responded, before deciding to kiss him again.
"Oh My God! I think I'm going to be sick." Katie stated, looking at us disgustingly.
I broke away from Tristan. "I thought you were happy about this
Katie?" I asked knowing she was joking.
"I am, but watching a smart girl like you make out with my disgusting brother is just wrong." She said, grimacing at the thought.
"Thanks for the dis, Katie!" Tristan told her.
"You're very welcome!" She replied.
"Ok sorry to break up this love fest but a storm is rolling in."
Jason told us looking up.
"Let's go then." I replied taking Tristan's hand and started to walk back to the Hotel.
We all felt the rain come down slowly but steadily and we quickened our pace. We arrived at the Hilton and stood under the canopy in front of the door. We spent a few moments drying off and then started inside.
We got to the elevator and stepped onto the Marble tiles. Katie pressed number 10 and we headed up to our suites.
"I think the guys should stay in our suite tonight just in case anything happens." Mom suggested.
"Fine with me" Kats replied.
"Yah fine" I replied, not really knowing what anyone was talking about. I hated storms absolutely hated them.
We walked into the suites and Mom looked at me. I was biting my lip heavily. She knew that I wouldn't be able to sleep in my room.
"Why don't all 4 of you sleep out here in the common room?" She suggested.
I nodded my head quickly. Katie replied with a sure. The guys didn't say anything. They just nodded they heads slowly.
Mom headed into her room to grab some blankets for the guys. Katie went into her room to grab some things for her to sleep on, while I did the same.
We all arrived back into the common room within a minute of each other.
"We only have one pull out couch. And one loveseat."
"Me and Jason will take the bed if that's ok with everyone?"
Katie asked, mostly to my mother.
Mom nodded knowing nothing would happen tonight.
"I'll take the floor" Tristan volunteered. "Rory can take the couch." He offered to me.
"Fine with me I guess." I said weakly. I was still scared.
"You going to be ok?" Mom asked me.
"Yah, I think so." I told her, uncertainly lacing my voice.
"You sure?" She asked once more.
"Yes." I replied with a little more confidence.
She nodded in understanding.
We separated into our respective rooms and got changed. We came back out as a roll of thunder sounded and a bolt of lightning flashed.
We all lay down slowly, being spooked by the weather.
I lay down on the smaller couch and faced away from the window. I could still hear the thunder and see the bright flashes of yellow light. I turned over towards the window, it was no better.
I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. I decided that no matter what I did, I wouldn't be able to sleep there. I pushed off my blankets, swung my legs over the side of the couch and stood up. I looked around in the dark, barely able to see the faint outline of Katie and Jason close on the bed, sleeping. I looked down and saw that Tristan was asleep as well.
I bent down and poked him, over and over again. He turned over looking very annoyed. His face softened as soon as he saw me.
"Yes, Mar?" He asked, his voice still thick with sleep.
"I was wondering if I could join you on the floor." I asked, trying not to sound too frightened.
He nodded and lifted the covers. I quickly lay slid under the covers next to him, as Tristan wrapped his arms around me. Storms always bothered me, but being in his arms I felt completely safe, for the first time in my life.
I tilted my head back to see him smiling down at me. I smiled back up and whispered "Thank you", and placed a quick kiss on his chin, before finally falling asleep.
There you go. The next installment. Hope you liked it. Well Review and
I'll give you thank you.
