Chapter Four : The Invitation
It had passed nearly a week since that accident Marco had with the unknown brunette at the supermarket , but he still couldn't get her off his mind no matter what he did. Her eyes , her touch, and her wink still accompanied his thoughts. Wherever he threw his gaze, Marco found the most weird things reminding him to that day.
During the week , Marco found himself taking another destination to go to his work and then to back home from it , a walk that took him only 10 minutes between the two places, but now he was taking more than 30 minutes to get his place, walking beside the stadium of Signal Iduna Park just for a stupid reason, as he thought , to maybe meet the brunette of the supermarket, his new interest.
***
Marco was in his office examinating a female Labrador Retriever after he helped it to give birth for five beautiful, healthy puppies , putting all of them on their mom 's basket , it was still another pet , a monkey , precisely a little Capuchin needed his attention while suddenly he felt disturbed by the presence of the most annoying girl on the earth, his fiancée , Jasmine.
Marco well known as he didn't like the unexpected visits to his office , especially when it came to his fiancée , he was trying to avoid her and be far from her stupid conversation, at least at his office.
Peter , his co-doctor , came to the examination room after the blonde girl insisted to meet Marco , she was in hurry and she really needed him , as she told to Peter. He slowly walked toward the blond male and whispered into his left ear as Marco was grabbing a syringe to inject into the monkey's shoulder, the usual vaccination. For a moment Marco's hand shivered as he heard the name , it was like he saw a ghost, he hissed and turned back to face Peter
" Couldn't you tell her I'm in emergency operation or just lied. Send her back ! I don't want to see her" he yelled whispering, Peter just shrugged, had no Idea how he could get rid off the blonde outside the room.
" Why don't you tell her by yourself , you know my blood boils when I see her"
" If your blood boils , what could you say about me?"
" You are the one who wants ' to mate her' , not me" he teased him
" Please just go and tell her I can't see her now, tell her if she really needs me just drop me a line after an hour!"
" What ! I won't go to her , she will bite me like a mad dog , man!"
"Fine , I'll go and next time don't let her in" he walked in disbelief air
Marco walked outside the examination room and stepped toward his office, it was a nice cabin for a vet , ever since he graduated from the medicine faculty , he started working as an assisstant vet by one of the best vets in Dortmund . The cabin was wide and decorated with beautiful colors , the walls were painted in creme beige , and decorated with some pictures of deferent animals and some instructions, before he opened the door, Marco stood there for a while, cursing himself to stuck in this relation, he took a deep breath then pushed the door wide open
" Hey" she greeted him happily
" What are you doing here , I told you before to not come over to my office , which word didn't you understand," he attacked as he glimpsed the first chance and he didn't spare it , Jasmine just stared at him with her pleading eyes, but he didn't give a bence of interest
" I came to visit my man , is that sin?"
" First I'm not your man " he burst out , " and I will never be" he followed secretly in his heart . He still can't believe how he said yes to a relation he didn't want it from the beginning , all of this started because his father wanted his relation with his friend to be stronger , without telling him, Marco found himself at their living room and his father asked his best friend to marry his daughter to Marco , Marco didn't get it well, it took him by surprise especially after his best friend -Marcel- told him in that day he had a strong feeling for Jasmine.
"Ok then , I actually wanted to tell you : you and your family had invited for dinner tomorrow evening" she said looking at him, she knew he would never love her after his dead girlfriend but she still greed to get his love , and she would do everything to win him.
" I know, you shouldn't tire yourself to tell me, but... I'm afraid I can't come I have works to do" he turned his back and looked outside the window, wishing this minutes to pace quickly , he had no interrest to make a long conversation with the one caused to part him of his best friend from his childhood
" Are you telling me that your stupid works are better than me" she hissed, Marco looked back at her with a strict gaze , if he had that power he maybe could make a huge hole in her face , his eyes turned to dark color , the same color when he get mad, he lowered his gaze just like he was looking for some harsh words to shot it but then , the unknown brunette crossed his mind for split of second, he smiled then looked at the blonde in front of him
" First, I'm not doing stupid works but if you still insist that it's stupid work , so it is" he smirked , leaving the girl confused
" But I'm wondering , if my work is stupid why you are into marriage with a stupid?" he raised his brow, waiting the answer
" I didn't say you're stupid" he interrupted her
" It's the same , the stupid make stupid things, so yes I'm stupid and I'm proud of myself , and now please leave , I have patients waiting for me . I should back to my stupid work, my time is precious" he said and walked to the door, then stopped before open it
" Do a favor for yourself and stop the whole thing, girl . I have never loved you and I will never do , I will get married with the one I love not the one they pushed me to be with" he said and slammed the door closed behind him , walking back to his patient. Jasmine was still at the office, didn't get what happened , if that all happened because she said "stupid work" , Thomas, Marco's father was always complaining to her father, saying that his son had chosen the most stupid thing ever , so why when it came to her everything seemed complicated , she mused grabbing her things and walked out the office.
***
" Oh my back is hurting as hell " Marco said tired as he threw himself on his bed, he didn't need to change his cloths , he wanted to ease himself first after a long tiring day, he closed his eyes and allowed to himself to travel again to his shelter , by every beat of his throbbing heart, his mind was flashing back to some buried memories.
***
Marco was pulled back to reality after he heard a knock behind his door , he sighed then spoke out , allowing to the knocker to step inside
" Come in" he said , still laying on his bed , leaving his legs on the ground.
"Marco I want to talk to you in something" his mother, Manuela Reus said , afraid of her son to get mad and leave the house because of the thing she came for
"What's there mom?" he said and raised his torso from his bed, and sat in an appropriate position
" Promise me you won't get mad" she first said after she had a seat next to her son.
" So you know that thing will upset me , if it is mom , please spare it for another chance I'm really tired to talk about" Marco replied , sensing the talk with his mom would be focused only on his fiancée , soon his feeling was comfirmed
" You know, this evening Jasmine came to me sobbing.." she started and Marco rolled his eyes , not comfortable with the situation
"And what happened then " he asked
"She told me you ejected her out after she came to tell you about the invitation" his mother now looked worry at her son , trying to figure out what was in his mind at this moment
" Mom, you know I don't like anybody to visit me at work" he said and she nodded
" But she had gone just to tell you about the invitation son, you shouldn't be rude , she didn't deserve to act mean with her, Marco"
" Mom, please you know she is getting on my nerves, I can't stand a second to be with her and you know I'm forced to get into this shitty marriage"
"Your father didn't push you to get married Marco"
" So what do you call this gesture , being dragged to his friend's house and asked him to marry me his daughter without thinking of me or what I want", he raised his volume
" Beside , I'm not a child mom to decide both of you in my place , I'm an adult man , just to live with you doesn't mean I'm still your 2 years old boy , this is my life and I don't want anybody else to put their noses in my offers , you're living your life as you wanted . Don't I have the right to be with the one I love and choose the one I want to spend my life with ? " he started to yell, and then his father entered his chamber
" Stop yelling at your mother, Marco" his father yelled, looking straight to his son's eyes
" I'm talking , I'm not yelling " he objected
"The girl didn't do any harm when she came to invite you by herself , but you were the idiot who made me look too small in front of my friend , is that all what could you do ? Is that how you returned the good I did to you ?" his father yelled , growing the anger inside Marco
" What did you do , hun!?" it was Marco's turn now to yell
" You pushed me into several things just for you , just for your pleasure , things you had dreamt of but you couldn't release it , I had studied something I didn't want it just for you , but when I found something to do with all my love and give all what I have to , you're always feeling ashamed of me , I had studied like a dork just to make you proud but all what you're doing is feeling embarrassed , if I'm still living here make you feel embarrassed I will go and I will never come back ,now you are afraid if your friend's feeling to get hurt and what about me , I lost my best friend just for your wish ..." before Marco could finished his words , he felt a strong and sharp hit landed on his paled cheek , made him to stumble before to fall on the ground , with some blood coming out from his mouth
"Thomas what have you done" Manuela said in disbelief , yelling at her husband of 36 years , walking to her son who was still on the ground, couldn't make an eye contact with his parents
"I'm sorry ... for myself ... to have an ungrateful son like you , do what you want , I'm not your father anymore" he hissed and walked out the room
