It felt like I had been sat with Marko for hours, when in reality it was only an hour. We didn't discuss the event that took place at the cave, we just enjoyed each other's company. I was sat in between his legs, he had his arms wrapped tightly around me and my head was resting against his chest. We sat in silence, the sound of the ocean crashing against the lighthouse was all that could be heard. I sighed and breathed in his scent.
"Are you cold?" He asked me. I shook my head and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"To be honest, I'm surprised I'm not cold" I joked causing Marko to chuckle. then he let out a sigh.
"Reina it's getting late, I should probably take you back to your friends house" He said. I could tell he didn't want me to go by the tone of his voice.
"But I don't want to leave you!" I argued back.
"I don't want to leave you either, but you have to go" He paused for a second. "Your friend is probably getting worried"
"I'll just text her!" I broke away from Marko and went to pull out my phone but he stopped me. I looked up at his and he shook his head.
"Reina, I'm taking you back!"
Before I could protest even more he stood up, picked me up bridal style and took off into the air. I tightly clung onto him as he flew me back to Madison's street. He told me he would drop me off at the end of her road and watch me walk up, we couldn't risk Madison finding out his secret. As we reached the end of her road, I tried my hardest to fight back tears that threatened to fall. It obviously didn't work, the fell as soon as he looked at me.
"Don't cry Reina" He said in a comforting way as he wiped away my tears.
"But you know I won't be able to see you again" I managed to say.
"Don't worry about that!" He lifted my chin so that I was looking directly at him. "I will see you again, I promise" I forced a sad smile. I stood on my tiptoes as he leant down (I was smaller than he was) and connected our lips.
"Marko"
"Yeah?" I hesitated for a second.
"I umm...I really really like you" I felt like an idiot, I couldn't say what I really wanted to say. He laughed and pulled me into a tight hug before letting me go. I pulled out my phone and text Madison to tell her I was coming back. I placed my phone back into my pocket and began to walk towards her house.
"Reina!" I heard Marko yell, I stopped and turned to look at him.
"Yeah?"
"I really really like you too!" He said with a smirk. I felt myself blush and I turned my back to him.
"Where have you been all day?" My uncle Michael asked me as I walked back into the house at 6:30.
"Well I slept at Madison's last night and then we had a morning shift and I've only just finished" I explained walking over to the sofa.
"Have you eaten today Reina?" My auntie Star asked me as she walked into the living room.
"No, but I really don't wanna cook anything" I told her shoving my face into a pillow. I heard her and Michael giggle at my actions.
"Cheer up kid" Michael said, messing my hair up as he walked past me. I was too tired to retaliate so instead I just groaned.
"Reina sweetie you're home!" I heard my dad yell sounding happy. "You're staying in with star tonight, me and Michael are going out with the frog brothers" My eyes widened and I shot up. I think I scared Star by doing so as I saw her jump slightly out of the corner of my eye.
"Where are you going?" I asked sternly.
"Your uncle thinks it's a good idea for me to go out and meet someone new if you get what I mean" Once I heard his reply I relaxed.
"Have fun!" I yelled after them as they walked out of the door. Leaving me and Star alone.
"Reina are you ok?" Star asked me with concern
"Yeah, just tired" I began to head up the stairs. "I think I'm gonna go to bed"
"No, you need to eat first!" She told me.
Star always treat me like I was her own child, she was always the one who made sure I was getting good grades at school, making sure I had eaten and stuff like that. She had done a lot more for me than my own mother ever did. It showed that she cared and I needed that in my life. A female who gave a damn (apart from my grandma of course)
"I'm ordering a chinese, write down what you want and I'll order and we'll put on a film" She suggested.
"That would be nice" I smiled.
We waited at least an hour for our food to come. I was just happy it didn't take as long as it did in Phoenix. As we ate, we watched 'Pretty Woman'. Star introduced me to that film when I was younger and I instantly fell in love with it. I always watched it with her and no one else. I just wished that I could have been doing this with someone else.
"Thank you for the food star" I said as I had finished eating.
"No need to thank me dear" she replied as I picked up my plate and put it in the sink. I walked back into the kitchen and gave Star a long hug before making my way up the stairs.
I walked into my room and closed the door behind me, the sight of my bed made me so happy. I stripped out of my clothes and changed into a pair of bed shorts and a sports bra before pulling out my phone and setting an alarm for 8:30. I felt like two hours would be a reasonable amount of time for a nap. Before jumping into bed, I made sure that my curtains weren't letting in any light so that I could actually fall asleep. I yawned and rested my head on my pillow. It wasn't long before sleep took over my body.
I'm sorry I haven't uploaded in few days and sorry that this chapter is a little boring I will try and do better next time. Again, thank you for the reviews on this story :)...Also, R.I.P Chester Bennington (I'm literally heart broken over this loss, I grew up listening to Linkin Park and this is kinda of the reason I haven't uploaded) xo
