endearment (Jesse Lingard & Marcus Rashford)

Part 2

Jesse pov
I have a key to Marcus' house so I let us both in.
"Emily is that you?" Marcus shouts from his living room.
"Just me and Lils bro!" I shout back.
We both walk through to his living room.
Delilah plonks down on his left side and I sit on his right side so he's in the middle.
"Ummm why are you guys surrounding me?" Marcus questions laughing.
He's on his phone.
Delilah grabs his phone off him.
"What do you think you're doing?" He asks her looking shocked.
I chuckle a bit.
"This is serious and you don't need your phone" she says putting the phone in her bag.
"You're not stealing it from me" Marcus laughs.
"No beans we have something serious to tell you" I say placing my hand on his shoulder.
"On your way in did you see Emily? She's supposed to be back soon and-" he says before Delilah cuts him off.
"Yeah I saw her. In a situation you're not going to like" She spouts.
Geez okay take it we aren't taking the gentle approach.
"I don't know how to say this Rashy but I walked in on Josh cheating on me in my apartment" Delilah says showing no emotion.
"Oh my god what a dick. But what does this have to do with me?" He questions
We give him a few seconds before he twigs.
"Emily..." he says sounding so hurt.
I nod.
Marcus covers his face with his hands and I presume he's about to cry.
Delilah rubs his arm and places her head on his shoulder.
I rub his back.
"It will be alright bro, trust me" I say trying to make him feel better.
"I really thought we had something Jess. Am I really such an idiot to believe that?" He says through his hands.
"Marcus you're not an idiot at all" Delilah says gently pushing him playfully.
"She's right. If anything Emily is the idiot" I scoff.
"Well I guess life goes on" he suddenly says rising off the couch.
Me and Delilah look at each other taken aback.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Delilah asks him.
"Yeah yeah" he says casually not wanting to face us.
"Are you sure bro? You can tell us anything" I say patting his back.
He sits back down.
"I had my suspicions okay? I just didn't want to face the facts that it was probably true. I didn't want to believe it, I didn't want the pain" he honestly says.
"Oh Marcus" Delilah says.
"Group hug?" I say
"Bit cringe but sure" Marcus shrugs.
Delilah and I both embrace Marcus in a hug.
"Josh doesn't deserve you Delilah" Marcus says into the hug.
"I second that" Jesse says.
I giggle.
"And Emily doesn't deserve you Marcus" I say as we pull away from our hug.
"Looks like we're the single Pringle gang" I say winking.
"Oh my god can you get anymore cringe" Marcus laughs shaking his head and rubbing his eyes.

Later on at Jesse's house

I'm sat on my couch playing Fifa when I feel something hit the back of my head.
"Ouch!" I call out laughing places my hands on the back of my head.
I hear giggling behind me.
It's Delilah on the floor laughing.
"You think it's funny?" I say standing up.
She just keeps on hysterically laughing.
I pick up a cushion
"You think it's funny you just started a pillow fight" I say laughing ready to lob a cushion.
She stands up calming herself down from her laughing fit.
"Oh it's on my friend, it's on" she says running upstairs.
I chase her with some cushions.
She throws a whole load at me down the stairs and laughs hysterically again running around the upstairs.
"You're gonna pay for that!" I shout laughing gathering as many cushions as I can carry.
99 physicality I could carry them all.
"Will I?" I hear her ask as I turn to see her leaning against a doorframe to one of my many guest rooms.
I lob all 6 cushions towards her.
She squeals and tries to avoid the job lot of cushions I threw.
I laugh holding my stomach.
She eventually appears back in the doorway.
She leans against the doorframe and says
"Yo so I was thinking I don't know if it's too soon but we should all go on a wild night out" grinning.
Once I stop laughing I reply
"We haven't been in like a month, I think it's much needed"
We were all regular club attendees (Marcus, Lils and I)
But when Marcus got with Emily and Lils got with Josh we stopped going regularly and only went on special occasions.
She smiles and walks into what is her room whilst she's staying with me.
