Boba || Chapter 7: Skating I was still on edge about the whole dream thing but I decided to shrug it off. School went by as normal. Marcus and I sat somewhere else for lunch so Chris wouldn’t find us. I was honestly surprised at how fast the day went by but at least we were done. Walking home from school Marcus suddenly stops in front of a building. “Wanna go in? I’ll pay”. We were in front of a skating rink. I really had nothing to do and I finished my homework so I nodded and followed him inside. We paid for 1 hour and made our way inside. Marcus bought a pair of skates and we both slid them on. This was my first time and I had no idea what I was doing. I was starting to worry they wouldn’t fit my feet. Still struggling I feel a pair of warm, gentle hands I’ve over mine. Marcus knelt down helping me put on my skate. “Dang you really don’t know anything do you?” I wasn’t listening to anything he said. My face was red and my heart was like a drum beating at its own will. This moment was magical. Everything in the room suddenly seemed and felt brighter. It was like my eyes were opened up to a light I have never seen before. The moment was suddenly interrupted by a loud noise. “I’m sorry it’s just you weren’t moving so I panicked”. I made him worried, god I felt embarrassed. “O-oh I’m sorry I was just thinking”, I replied with my hand behind my head. As we got in the rink I was struggling while Marcus was a natural and went zooming. THE AUDACITY. He was the one who invited me and he just left me hanging. I decided to move a bit but I ended up slipping. Waiting for impact I felt hands around my waist as I opened my eyes. “MARCUS”?? “Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know you couldn’t skate ha ha..” he grabbed my hand and zoomed off with me. I was screaming and wrapped my arms around his. I was scared and stiff and I’m pretty sure I almost fell many times. I opened my eyes to see a smiling and laughing Marcus. Another magical moment. I felt so happy. Smiling, we were probably having a great time. I’m actually starting to get the hang of it and let go of his hand for a minute. It was a huge adrenaline rush making me want more. I felt so free and for some reason the air felt more pleasing than lighter. All that stress built in my systems escaping with every movement. I do a cool little trick and soon zoom off to. For some reason I had the urge to jump in the air so I did. Landing perfectly I get overjoyed and excited frantically searching for Marcus hoping he saw me. “MARCUS DID YOU SEE THAT-” I pause mid sentence to see him playing and helping some kids who were struggling. My heart started beating faster seeing the cute and soft scene unfold in front of my eyes. It has been 4 days since the skating rink. I have 3 more days before my parents come back. I’ve been hanging out as much as I can with my sister and my niece before they left again. I have also been hanging out a lot with Marcus. He is very sweet. Every day before school he buys me a cinnamon roll or some type of pastry, sometimes even a snack. He was always helping me with my homework and just lighting up my mood when I was sad. I would also help him rather it be taking care of Michelle or his cat while he was making videos or editing. One thing I remember was the day he fell asleep on my shoulder while on a bus ride and it became a habit. Of course I don’t mind but it’s really hard to keep my cool because I feel my heart will pop out my chest. Today I went to the gas station to buy some snacks for a movie night me and Marcus were planning. Accepting this babysitting job was the best thing I’ve ever done. For the first time I’m not negative about everything and I’m actually happy to leave the house or be social. I also noticed my grades were rapidly improving. As I walked out someone pulled me towards them “Hey”.. My soul sinks as I recognize that voice.. It's Chris.. “HEY! You scared me”! He suddenly hugs me to shut me up and I hear him mumble something. “I want you to cut contact with Marcus”. I stand there confused and shocked as he steps back, still holding me. “You are MY fiancé, you have no right getting so close to him”! Before I can even speak anything he hands me an envelope. Inside were pictures of me, Marcus, Michelle, Mathew, his husband, and even my sister and her family! “I started getting worried that you were seeing other men behind my back so I hired someone to spy on you”. I just hear those words, those sticking words, and stand there in shock. I don’t care about the fact that he stalked me, I'm just worried about everyone else. “WHAT GAIN DO YOU WANT FROM THESE”?? My blood is boiling as he starts speaking. “If you don’t cut contact with him I’ll tell my father to fire his dad and take him out of the company. I’ll also show these to your parents, especially your sister's pictures.. they might be happy to see their eldest daughter back and might take her home”~. “…fine”.
