22.
Evanora reaches up to the rooftop as Marlon was already sitting down as his head face upward as he admires the nighttime sky. He smiles as the stars twinkles above him.
Evanora climbs out of the window and carefully walk toward him. "Hey, there sunshine." Marlon says as he turns his head and smiles at her as she sat down.
"Hey! Sorry that I'm a bit late." She replies as she looks at him with a smile.
"That's okay. I just got here, I got a held back in the garage with some of the crew. They've received new orders by Michael which are disclosed to the family at the moment." He says as he scoots closer to Evanora as he pulls out a velvet box. "I did get you something before we left for the fair." He adds before opening the box which was to be a 12inch with small diamonds on the chain and at the bottom was a large diamond circle. Evanora's eyes widen at the necklace as she is taken back by his gesture. "One of the female crew members recommended this to me a few years back for getting a special someone a gift and I took her advice on giving this to you." He says while taking the necklace out of the box. "Allow me to put it on."
Evanora nods her head in surprise as she lifts up her hair before Marlon opens the necklace before placing the chain around her neck. The cool chain left goosebumps to be raise as Evanora places her hair back down. "Thank you, Marlon. It's beautiful." She exclaims as Marlon smile before she hugs him.
"Well... its a special gift for a special girl in my life and hopefully.. we can be something more?" Marlon says as she pulls away. They stare into each other's eyes before Evanora raises her eyebrow.
"What do you mean by that, Marlon?" She asks as Marlon's cheek flush hot as he takes her hand.
"I was hoping we could be much more rather than just going on dates as in we can be together... officially." Marlon says with a smile. "What do you say? Will you be my girlfriend?"
Evanora looks at their hands before glancing back at Marlon. The only thought that came into her mind was Michael.
"But... Marlon... I just don't think now is the time to be considering a relationship at the moment. I mean we just only met and I barely know you!" Evanora says with a smile as she tries to pull her hand away.
"Isn't that what dating each other is supposed to be? Getting to know one another?" He says as he reaches for her hand again. "I'm sorry for coming way too strong but... I'm serious about us. I want something more than just going on dates."
Evanora hesitates as she takes all of her inner thoughts as one before Michael's face pops into her mind once more. She squints her eyes hard as she can before opening them.
"Are you okay?" Marlon asks concern as he stares at her. "Do you got something in your eyes?" Marlon reaches his finger to her face as he moves a few pieces of hair away from her eyes.
"Oh yes, I am okay! Definitely, okay." She quickly reassures him as the feeling of guilt overwhelms her. "Do you mind if I think about your question? I just need some bit of time to process it. I swear I'll get back to you tomorrow! I'm just-" Evanora says as she fakes a yawn. "I'm just so exhausted! I'm so sorry! Your sisters were just wild and the dress weigh a ton..." she lies as Marlon raises an eyebrow.
"Oh... okay. I mean take the time that you need and just let me know soon." Marlon replies as she stands up along does Marlon. Marlon hugs her carefully as they both stood on the roof. "See you tomorrow..." he whispers into her ear.
"See you soon..." she responds as they both pull away from their hug. Evanora climbs her way carefully to the window as she got back inside carefully. She closes the window slowly so it wouldn't shut loud. She steps to the side as she places her back against the wall and slid down as she sat on the ground.
What is happening to me... and why do I keep thinking about Michael? He hates me and I should hate him. He doesn't treat me well like Marlon does. Marlon actually enjoys my company and he likes me. I shouldn't be thinking about his brother...
Evanora looks over to the right side of her as she notices Michael turning to the right side away from her as he walked toward his bedroom doors that was at the end of the hallway.
But Michael is more interesting than Marlon is. Marlon is open as a book but Michael is more reserved and closed off from the rest of the world. His emotions are run off from anger, bitterness and stubbornness but yet he carries this alpha aura around him as he storms around in their family's manor. I wonder if he gotten that from his father or his father or maybe from both.
I really do want to understand him more and know him more... Marlon as well. I'm just so utterly confused. I can't have both of them and one of them doesn't want me anyways so, maybe I should stay with Marlon. He could be a better match for myself instead of him or maybe I could have both? No. I can't. Don't be stupid, Evanora. That will ruin their family and family is important to them right now especially to both of those two.
