Chapter 77: I can't hide my Feelings any Longer

Zena's POV

The feeling I have now is undeniable because I'm roughly into this Marcus and I am ready to do whatever he asks of me without delay.

I will be 19 in a few more months so there is nothing wrong with quenching what I feel inside me.

“Are you okay?” Marcus ask me, but I waffled because I had no way to explain what I was conversing in my mind,

“Nothing it's fine!

Are we there now?” I ask him because I could see the grocery store behind us and he said,

“Wait in the car, I'll be back!”

“Okay!” I replied to him as I glare at him, it look like I was following him but my lip was ready to answer him and he replied again with that cute smile.

I watch him walk through the front car bonnet while glaring at him through the windshield, I smile at how cute the ash color T-shirt made him look,

Reviewing his broad shoulder, and the tattoo he has on his left arm trip me to crave his presence.

He did not take long to arrive back to the car as he offer me,

“Here is your soda for refreshments and we have to get to the grilling store for some fish.”

I could not have said a word because I love hearing his voice dominating in her head, and lost in his cute smile as he speaks.

Maybe the tone of his dialect is what got me attracted to him because he speaks very differently from the other student I have encountered.

His accent could be placed as that of Drake, but that is not the case because it could be they are related so that's the reason for the same intonation.

“We are here now!” Marcus announced as he pull the car over to the parking space with enthusiasm he plead,

“Please just a little time, I will be back!”

He hurriedly unbuckle his seat belt as he had to turn off the ignition and left the car, passively running into the grill store.

Although, I had never been there, and I had no idea of what they were selling but not anymore because Marcus had said they sell grilled fish there,

Of course, I'm a fan of fish, and can't wait any longer as I salivate into my thought on how they would garnish the fish.

I was still twisting in my thought how it would look when Marcus sudden show up with a square flat box he open the back seat side and drop the pack and join me on the front side which made me curiously ask,

“Are we not eating the fish here?”

“No my lady!” he replied me stroking my heart with his cute while he starts the car and we left there, I wondered where we are going now that I had asked him again,

“Please can you tell me where we are going because I'm dying of curiosity?”

“I'm taking you to a place that is nice and quiet, it's a place I normally go to when I want to spend some quality time thinking,

Don't worry you would like it!”

We drove for miles on the lonely road, and I could tell we are no longer in the same town because this town feel different.

“We are here!” Marcus declares and pullover.

It was no different from the picnic settings you know, the flora cotton material on the floor as we sat, our meal and drink beside us while we munch the roasted fish with some vegetables it was garnished with.

I was quiet, minding my thought but I broke out of silence when Marcus inquired,

“So tell me, now you are living with your aunt who walks you down the Isle?”

I paused munching my fish because I could not place the question, I had no idea of what to respond to him, and after many seconds of waiting I replied to him,

“My aunt can do the needful if there is no other choice.”

“Really!” he hollers,

“mmh!” I said, watching him wash off his hands and sip his soda then he ask,

“What would be your response now, if I ask you to officially be my girlfriend?” he asked staring at me for the dying question I had wished he ask me,

That moment I heard him boldly ask me that, I was glad in my heart, I could not contain my smile in my belly even though I had displayed my facial expressions like I would not accept his proposal.

And the funniest thing is that I said nothing because I want to rinse my hands and gulp my drink without him waiting he added,

“I get, you have someone else in your life and that's my brother Drake!”

The minute I heard him complain I gulped my drink so fast for me to clear my conscience and I hastily announce to him,

“No-no one!

I don't have a boyfriend and never have I had one!”

“Really!” he responded as he sneered in a surprising manner glinting his teeth that look cute when he smile.

We were both still looking at each other eyes lost in the flame of love and would want his lips to touch mine for once because I have been craving for this moment, the moment I get to have my first kiss.

Lips were close to mine, and I ache in my heart to have them close to mine, his mind fragrance arouse my aphrodisiac feelings that I would give in for any his request.

We were at the edge when he drift his head and kiss my forehead.

I was slid out of my feeling which made me sad why he would want to do such a thing, looking at him in a gawking way and he apologizes,

“I'm sorry Zena!

I'm deeply sorry, I can't bring myself to take advantage of you this way.”

“But I want you, I want you this minute, this very moment because I can't explain why I suddenly want you,” I murmured loud at him as I held him by the neck caressing him gently close to my lip.

“No Zena!,

Not today, the time is not right yet.” he tried explaining and I tried convincing him as the tone of my voice had gone sober,

“Now is the time, just you and me, no one else watching!” Marcus's face was close to mine, but after a while, he yank himself from my grip while he furiously stood up and said,

“I'm trying to get into you, but it's difficult for me, something keeps pulling my feeling for you that you belong to someone else, and it shreds my heart,”

Then he returns to Zena where she squats on the ground, caressing her face as his finger rubs her lips, and he whispers,

“Promise me, you would never take my love for granted and whatever we share here dies with us for eternity.”

“I promise as both of them look deep into their eyes and Marcus kisses her so irresistibly as they unconscious lay the cotton kissing passionately.

Marcus might be into Zena because he is very conscious of what he's doing, while they were kissing, he stops and kisses Zena on her forehead as he swerves away from the side and lay beside her while both of them face the sky.

The birds were flying back to their nest and it was a sign that show it is getting dark, although they had started counting the birds that flew around the sky, especially those they could see.

Not long when packs of birds flew together and Marcus remained Zena,

“It is time we go!”

“Sure” I responded and we quickly stood up, but on the verge of packing our item, it start drizzling so heavily.

He quickly ran into the car leaving me behind and I later ran along with him to the car after I picked up all the items we had there.

Marcus POV

Panting so fast the moment I got to the car was so funny that I did not notice it was about raining because I was lost in lust staring at Zena's breast that review so well in her dress.

I smile at her now because she is staring at me right way this minute, I would want to do so many awful things with her right now but because I don't have my shoes with me, I might get carried away thrusting her then I might released inside of her.

But it is fine, now I get to see she likes me and would accept to visit me if I request that from her.

“Can we go now!” Zena ask me while we were still sitting inside and I astonishingly reply,

“Sure!”.
