One Decision

Chapter 10

~Maya POV~

When I got to the park I sat down where my Dad and I used to have picnics. I sat down on the grassy patch when my phone vibrated.

Marcus- Where are you?

Maya- I'm at the top of the mini hill.

Marcus- I see you I will be there in 30 seconds.

I put my phone in my bag and closed it when I saw arcus almost at me. Once he got here he sat down next to me leaving around a few centimeters of space between us. 

Marcus- I am here and ready to listen.

Maya- Okay, but you better not tell anybody about this, please.

Marcus- I pinky promise

We did a pinky promise and I took a deep breath this could either backfire or turn out really well but that is the 50/50 chance am willing to take. I looked over at him and saw he was staring at me. I took another deep breath and started telling him

Maya- When I was born my mother died and so I grew up with only one parent with my Dad always telling me stories of my Mum, how they met, there wedding and other things. But when I was five my Dad got re-married to Brittany, Ashleys Mum and-

I stopped for a second breaking eye contact with Marcus and taking a quick breath before joining eye contact again. Then I continued telling Marcus.

Maya- -When I was 13 my Dad died of a heart attack. So since then, I have been Brittanys and Ashleys, a free maid. So that's it and I have never told anyone to expect you. 

Marcus- That's a lot, I am so sorry you had to go through all that by yourself. Also, why am I dating Ashley?

Maya- Oh yea, because she threatened me and I knew she is in love with you so I used you not to get injured.

Marcus- Okay, but your safe with me

Marcus then wrapped his arms around my waist and I grabbed the back of his neck and we gave each other a hug. Marcus released from the hug and grabbed both my hands to hold in his hands and he is looking at my eyes and I was looking at his not wanting to break eye contact.

Marcus- Thank you so much for telling me. I must have been really hard.

Marcus gave me another hug with the second hug we stayed this position for around a few minutes until we both released from the hug. While Marcus and Is were hugging I felt warm, safe and protected I never wanted to let go but I knew that I had to. After we released from the hug we decided to go and get some ice cream so we got up from our spots and started walking to the ice cream shop. Once we go there Marcus asked me

Marcus- What flavour ice cream do you want?

Maya- Can I please have...Cookie dough, please

Marcus walked up the serving person and said

marcus- Can I please have 1 cookie dough ice cream and 1 cookies and cream ice cream

Severing person- That would be $7.50, please.

Marcus reached into his pocket and got $7.50 out and handed it to the serving person and then he got two cones with ice cream walked back to me and handed mine to me. We sat down on a park bench and just talked about everything and when I asked one question our light playful conversation turned into a serious conversation.
