VIO ♥
"Vi?" I heard another series of gentle knocks on my bedroom's door. "Hurry up, you might be late."
Omo! I almost forgot, my love's waiting outside.
I hurriedly gathered all my books and inserted them into my backpack.
I run into my vanity mirror and stared at my reflection for the last time. Looking so satisfied with the way I dress, I carried my bag and opened the door, wearing my sweetest smile.
A very bored face of the man I love welcomed me. Oh, my bad. I kept him waiting for so long. I made my smile even wider. "Good morning," I greeted.
He nodded as he walk closer and kissed me on my forehead. "You took your time," he noticed.
I tucked some strands of my hair at the back of my ear, as I blink my eyes beautifully; trying to leave a cute image. "Uh, sorry."
He chuckled as he slightly mess my hair. "You're pretty. I know it." Then he pinched my right cheek. We laughed in unison as we descended on the flight of the stairs together.
Sitting in the long couch of the living room is my elder sister wearing her usual bored face. She's well-dressed. Looks like, she have a business to do with my man.
"What took you so long?" She face us with a raised brow.
"Sorry, I had a hard time finding one of my books." Okay, that's a lie. Well, what do you expect me to say? I can't jusy easily say that; 'hey, I am late because I took my time in front of my vanity to look beautiful and then flirted to Marcus after'? Ah, that sounds really a mess.
"Whatever." She rolled her eyes to me before dragging her feet out of the house.
Tss. Bitter!
Marcus and I secretly looked at each other as we both stifle a chuckle. Why do Ate (elder sister) looks like a child throwing her tantrums?
Marcus and my elder sister are friends and also working on the same company. Ate Vernice is my man's secretary. So, they are quite close.
During Marcus vacation, he would go almost everyday to our house as he drives me on the way to school. And since, no one knew in the house that we're together, we would pretend we're not sharing the same deep affection. We're both carefully hiding this secret to the members of our family, especially to Ate because she might not agree to our relationship. Why? Because I'm still under age, and being in a relationship with Marcus may looks like improper and worst, a sin or taboo to other's eyes. Do understand us, but at this moment, we - uh, more likely, I - don't want to get judge, so I don't have enough courage to admit to my Family that Marcus and I are dating.
Keeping our relationship as a secret is just for the meantime. Sooner, once I turn into legal age, we will no longer hide it to everyone. And surely, if that time will come, I'll be the happiest woman alive, for letting the world know that I belong to Marcus's arms.
"Study well, 'kay? I love you," he whispered as he simply and gently pinched my arm. Well, he can't just kiss me here since, Ate is with us - sitting on the back seat.
I smiled at him. "I love you," I whispered back, afraid that Ate might hear it.
I opened his car's door and waved my goodbye to them. I even watch them drove away until the car is no longer visible to my eye, before I walked inside the School's gate.
"Viiii!" I turn around and saw that Clarisse is hurriedly running towards where I am standing. She's giggling like she just saw a romantic scene from a movie.
She stops in front of me.
Okay, I'm expecting this woman to ask me loads of questions again. Well, nothing's new about that, I guess, since she like to ask stuffs that concerns me and Marcus. Uh, yeah. She's the only one whom I entrusted my secret. She might be the nosiest woman in earth, but really, she's also one of the most trusted friend I ever had. Well, perhaps because she's my only friend. So yeah, Marcus and I's secret is safe to her.
Know what? At first I don't like her as a friend. Well, I don't feel making friends to everyone then, but she's the only exemption now. I learned that she can be trusted and fun to be with, so why not make friends with her, right? My only problem to her is her mouth. Gosh! She talk too much. And I'm telling you guys, it is really disturbing!
"Did Papa Marc, drive you to school today?" She clung her arms to mine as she looked at me with her big tantalizing eyes. Ah, she's using her charms to me in order to fish some gossip. What a nice asset to gain gossips, huh? Tss.
Anyways, he calls my boyfriend 'Papa Marc.' Marc as a short term for Marcus. Well, she had admitted that she has a kind of likings to my man. Well, I am not jealous or anything, 'cause I know Marcus is mine. He's so loyal to me and I am confident that he won't bother himself looking for another woman.
I nodded, wasn't able to contain my wide smiles. Thinking about it, made the butterflies inside my tummy to dance more crazily. Being with Marcus is such a pure bliss. He made me feel like I am the most especial girl alive and with that I am blissfully thankful.
"Omo! I really envy you, Vi!" She nudge me slightly. When I look at her, the smiles on her lips are wider as mine too. Ah, the bitch is obviously experiencing butterflies on her tummy as well! Tss.
"Why don't you tell me how did you actually met? How he have fallen deeply in love to you? How did he won your heart? And... How did you open your heart to someone who's like a living god of Olympus?" I rolled my eyes. See? She has loads of question 'bout Marcus and I's relationship.
I laughed. "We will be late if I answer all those questions now."
She made a sad face. "Oh come on." She groaned, a bit disappointed. "We have a lot of time. Why don't you start now and then resume on our first break?" Is she negotiating? Woman, she even tightened her grip on my arm.
Uh, fine.
So, I face her and give her a meaningful smile. "Fine. I'll tell you how we started."
She looks surprised. "Really?" She hugs me tightly this time while jumping a little in excitement.
"Um. I'll tell you, how magical our story is."
