Ana POV
I sent him the name and location of the bar and decided to order another drink while I waited. 20 minutes later Marcus entered and approached the pretty hostess. Even from where I was sitting I could see the desire on the hostess's face. Marcus was 6'3, lean and absolutely Stunning. His brown hair was slicked back and he was dressed casually in a black hoodie and grey sweatpants. Seeing him like this was way hotter than all the other times I saw him dressed in his suits and dress clothes.
He shared a quick exchange with the hostess, to her displeasure, and was directed to my table. As he approached I couldn't help but to glance at his package. It was evident he was very well endowed....thank god for sweatpants.
I was sure he caught me looking and My face turned bright red. He sat down and gave me a devilish smirk and, for some reason, my heart sped up and I had trouble catching my breath.
His bright blue eyes stared into mine, for what seemed like an eternity before he finally spoke.
"So you going to tell me What happened"
I stared at Marcus and suddenly found it very difficult to talk. I always thought he was attractive, but I never looked at him in any other way than just as an acquaintance or Coles boss. I blamed the lack of concentration on the alcohol and searched my brain for a logical response. I suddenly felt very stupid for calling him and cursed my lack of better judgment.
"I'm waiting" he prodded when I failed to respond. He flagged the bartender down and ordered a couple of waters.
"Are you hungry?" I nodded. He added an order of sweet potato fries and I was extremely grateful as I suddenly realized I was very hungry.
"Well, like I already told you. Cole is cheating on me." I stated calmly, taking a deep breath before I spoke" I went home and caught him in bed with my best friend." Saying those words out loud suddenly made things feel a lot more real. A wave of sadness came over me.
"So what did they do when you saw them?" Marcus asked. I glanced at his face and saw him looking at me with pity. That's one thing I never wanted from anyone. I knew what Cole did was unforgivable, but that was on him, I didn't need pity for his actions.
"They didn't do anything. I decided to not confront them. I walked out and came here" I shrugged.
He looked surprised. "They didn't see you?"
"I don't think so, but I'm sure they heard my exit. I wanted to scare them a little bit so I let the door slam as hard as I could when I left," I giggled. I knew it wasn't funny. But I imagined their faces and for some reason that brought me a moment of satisfaction. I hoped I ruined their perfect evening.
Marcus POV
I smiled at her giggle. It was cute, and if she wasn't in the situation she was in, I would have turned on my charm.
I sat and thought about her admission. I wasn't overly shocked that Cole was cheating on her but I was slightly amused that he would do so with her friend. I knew exactly who she was talking about as it would take a fool to not see Elise's infatuation with Cole. I was more surprised that Ana didn't pick up on their relationship.
I also noticed that in the last year or so, Elise would often accompany Cole and Ana to dinners and other functions. Cole gave me a sob story about her having no one and then trying to be there for her. But when Ana wasn't around they would act too close and cozy for just being platonic friends.
The bartender dropped off the waters and I pushed them both towards Ana. She needed to hydrate and eat something before she left the bar. Ana put the straw in her mouth and took a sip. I immediately focused on her lips and let my mind wander for a moment. She had a little droplet of water left on her lip which she slowly licked with her tongue. I suddenly felt my sweatpants become a little tighter in the crotch area.
She continued to play with her straw and I took in her features. She had perfectly full pink lips, piercing grey eyes, high apple cheeks and long blonde hair that accentuated her face.
I couldn't believe someone would be stupid enough to cheat on someone like her. She was breathtakingly beautiful, kind, smart, and had the most amazing body I'd ever seen. Even in her basic dress pants, her ass was amazing.
When the fries arrived, I made sure to pass them her way and encouraged her to eat. I made small talk and asked questions about where she grew up and life in general. I could tell that she was crying and I wanted to take her mind off of the situation at hand. When she got up to use the bathroom I paid for the bill and waited for her in the hallway that lead to the bathrooms.
When she finally stepped out, she was barely able to stand. I tried to offer my hand for support but she declined to take it. She leaned back against the wall and looked at me, a smirk appearing on her lips.
"You're cute you know that?"
"Ana, are you ok to walk?" I asked slightly amused at her comment. I knew she wasn't thinking straight so I held back my urge to kiss her. When I noticed she was about to fall, I picked her up bridal style and carried her to the car. I placed her in the passenger seat and buckled her in. I pulled off my sweatshirt and placed it over her like a blanket. She smiled softly and, When I was sure she was sleeping, I kissed her on her forehead.
As I pulled out of the parking lot, I was very thankful that Cole was dumb enough to lose someone like her.
