My Secret

A Surprise

after the call with Marshall I have to admit I've been nervous thinking about my new encounter with him,

I wonder how it's gonna turn out , I couldn't deny I feel a little excited too, wait excited ? no no I didn't say that.

anyway, I was trying no to think about it but I couldn't help it, now Cris asking and talking about it every second wasn't helping me either

he always was asking me if I knew something about the surprise, of course he tried with Marshall too but Marshall didn't say anything either so he came back to me again

oh boy, I love my son with all my heart but I swear he's something, he can be so persuasive and obstinate that is not even funny

I swear I was about to tell him everything but I knew I couldn't Marshall would be sad, he really wants to surprise him and...why do I care about Marshall's feelings? anyway

today was tuesday so I had my day off, so I drove Cris to the school, then I went for a walk with Pulgas and did some shopping after I finished my shopping I went back home

I had time so I decided to clean a little the house, I cleaned the bathrooms, vacuumed the floor

I was washing the plates when Pulgas went towards the door and started to bark and a second later someone was knocking the door

-"shhhh Pulgas, shhh, "-I say while I went towards the door and move him aside to open the door

it was Marshall,

-"Hi "- I say shyly while I order Pulgas to go to his blanket

-"ehmm hi "

we glanced each other for a few seconds

-"can I come in or.?"-he says looking at the floor

-"sure, sure"- I say and move so he can come into the house

he walks pass me and I can smell his perfume, he smelled really good today

I close the door when I fell his eyes on me

-"what?"

-"nothing, nothing"

-"whatever"- I say a little annoyed why was he looking at me like that?

we walk into the kitchen and he sits down in a chair

again we're glancing each other but we don't say a word, this is really awkward

I clear my throat

-"do you want something?"

-"ehm? yeah, a glass of water please.."

I nod and put him the glass with cold water

-"thanks .."

-"you're welcome"

..........................

again this awkward silence

-"I didn't know you were coming today"- I say trying to make a conversation

-"I already told you I wanted to come and see Cristian before my concerts in London"- he says like I was stupid and didn't remember our conversation or what he told me

-"I know Marshall, I remmeber very well but you didn't tell me you were coming TODAY and where are Paul and your bodyguards?"- I ask,

he always goes with 2 bodyguards sometimes more, he never goes out without them

-" Paul is in the hotel, and the Steve and Andrew are in the car I wanted to come alone,and I didn't say anything because I wanted it to be a surprise!" -

-" whatever"-

if he's gonna act like this I won't talk to him

-"whatever?"-he frown

I avoid him and turn on the tv, which makes him gets more pissed

-"bitch"-he mumbles

I turn my head and look at him

-"what did you say?"-I say with anger

-"you heard me"

-"get out !"

-"what?"

-"you heard me"- I say imitating him

-"vic.."

-"no, I won't let that you come to my house an insult me plus you are the one that is acting like a bitch so get out now, ". I say and point at the door

-"it's you who is bitching me because I didn't say I was coming, like if it was a bad thing that I want to see my son"

-"I've never said it is a bad thing, I already told you I'm very grateful for the way you treat him, he really loves you"

-"then let me see him and don't take him away from me"- he raises his voice

I glare at him and start to cry , I put the my hands on my face trying to calm myself but I can't

-"shit... "Marshall says when he sees I am crying

-"Vic, don't cry please"- he says and tries to console me while rests a hand in my shoulder but I take a step back

-"don't" - I say and look at him,

his eyes are with sadness and deception, he was hurt but I honestly didn't care

-"I'm sick of this Marshall,seriously, I can take it nomore,this is too much, we're always fighting"

-"and how do you think I feel? I didn't want this , I don't want this , I didn't want our future be like this, I didn't choose this for us"

-"again you're blaming everything on me"

-"Vic you were the one that walked away,if you had stayed we.."

-"you would have kept on playing with my feelings , using me and you would have kept on cheating on me!!"-I yell

-"no!!! will you stop with that? if you had stayed we could have been a family together, I'd have asked you to be my wife and we could have raised our son together as a happy family and we even could have had more children"

was he serious right now?

I glance at him

-"Marshall, are you serious right now?"

he looks at me and comes a little more closer to me,

-"dead serious, Victoria I really loved you even if you don't believe me"

-"I believe you"-I whisper

shit why did I have to say that? I had to be angry

he interlaces his hand with mine, oh shit !

-"Vic, I have never forgotten you and when I saw you I felt the same, I had the same fucking feelings like if everything happened recently not 10 years ago"

-"Marshall, please"- I say and close my eyes, I didn't want to hear this

-"but it's true! and when Cristian asked us if we could be together again I wanted to say yes"

-"Marshall what do you mean?"

don't say it please don't say it

-"I want to give us a try again "

damn it!

I try to talk but I can't then I note he inches towards me ,our face are almost touching that makes me feel knots in my stomach

-"Vic, I still love you"- he whispers and presses his lips against me I was shocked at first I don't kiss him back but then I respond to the kiss , now with our tongues moving and dancing together in perfect harmony

god! I forgot he's a great kisser
