"This is a nice place you have." 

"Thanks. You can stay as long as you need." 

Erica sat down on the couch. 

"Where's Jackson?" 

"Jasmine took him to see my mother." 

Marc sat next to Erica. 

"I'm glad Michael wasn't home." 

"Why?" 

"I didn't want to see Michael getting hurt." 

Marc just looked at her. He was reading her body language. He figured the context of what she was saying. 

"You still love him?" 

"I do." 

Marc grabbed her hand. She looked at him. She felt what she was doing was wrong. Even though she was falling in love with another man, she still loved her first love. 

"I'm sorry." 

She took her hand away. 

"It's okay. I get it." 

Marc got up and walked away. Erica pulled out her phone. She saw a bunch of texts from Michael. 

"Where are you?" 

"Where's all your stuff?" 

"Please come back." 

"I'm sorry." 

"Erica I love You." 

"Please don't go." 

Erica put her phone down. He put his hands on her shoulders. 

"Relax." 

"Y-you don't have to do this." 

She felt his breath on her neck. 

"Let me take care of you." 

Erica shuddered a bit. 

"Tell me what do you want?" 

Erica bit her lip. 

"You." 

"Oh really?" He whispered 

"Y-yes..." 

"Don't you have another man on your mind?" 

Erica felt Marc's lips on her neck. 

"No...I just have you on my mind." 

"You might be telling me something I want to hear." 

"I'm not." 

Marc stopped and walk over. He stood in front of her. 

"Erica I want you. I want to be with you." 

She grabbed his shorts and pulled him closer. 

"I really do want you. I want to build something with you. It's just..." 

"You need time." Marc said cutting her off. 

"Yeah.." 

"I understand that." 

Marc bent down a bit, and kissed her on the lips. There was a knock at the door. 

Both of them sighed. 

"Let me get that." 

Marc went to the door and was shocked to see you it was. 

"Alicia."
