Marcus came back and picked Rose up when

her shift ended. They strolled down the street

together, careful not to touch each other until they

were inside somewhere, safe. Each time she

brushed against him, she felt the heat of his body.

She wanted to drag him into an alley and ravage

him. She giggled.

“What are you giggling about, sweetie?” he

asked.

“None of your business, nosy man.” She

elbowed him, cheeks flushing.

Marcus stopped in front of a Thai restaurant

and looked at the menu. “I’ve wanted to try

this place. What do you think?”

She studied the menu for a few moments.

“Yeah, it looks good.”

“Okay. This way, cupcake,” he said as he

opened the door. They found themselves in a small

entranceway leading to the main door of the

restaurant. Marcus took a quick look around and

then grabbed Rose by the waist. He pulled her

against him hard and planted his lips on hers. After

a minute, they came up for air, panting.

“How are you, my love? I couldn’t wait to

see you again,” he said, his voice getting husky.

“That drove me crazy today, seeing you but

not being able to touch you.” Rose pressed herself

against him.

He squeezed her shoulders. “I know. It was

torture for me as well. I wanted to jump over the

counter and grab you. Always remember that I love

you, even if we can’t tell anyone yet.” He nuzzled

her neck.

“I know,” she said, looking down.

Marcus put one finger on her chin and gently

brought her face up to his. “I love you so much,

Rosie. Never forget that.”

“It’s kind of exciting, having a secret lover.

But at the same time, I want to tell everyone. Does

that make any sense?” Rose brushed a loose strand

of hair off his forehead.

“I know exactly what you mean.” He pulled

her closer, grabbing her ass. “Let’s wait a few

more weeks, and then we will shout it out to the

entire world. We must be patient, just a little while

longer. When you are finally mine forever, I will

be the happiest man alive.” He pulled her tighter.

“Soon, my love,” he whispered in her ear. He

kissed her again. After a minute he pulled away

and said, “Let’s get out of here.”

Rose smiled and nodded.

They went back outside and started walking

toward her place. After a few minutes, she heard

footsteps behind them and snapped her head

around. There was nobody in sight. They turned the

corner and were almost at her house when she

heard more footsteps. Her heart slammed into her

chest. She whipped around and saw a dark figure

slip into the alley behind them. Bart’s warning

bounced around in her brain.

“Marcus, somebody’s following us!”

“What? Are you sure?” He looked around, his

eyes wide.

“Yes, there was a man. As soon as I looked at

him, he ducked into that alley.” She pointed,

her heart pounding.

“Okay, wait here,” Marcus said, giving her

arm a reassuring squeeze.

“What? No way, I’m coming with you.” She

grabbed his arm and they walked toward the

opening.

They peered around the corner and saw a

movement. She froze. She felt Marcus stiffen

beside her. A dark figure moved toward them

suddenly. Rose brought her hands up instinctively

in front of her, adrenaline surging through her

entire body. I don’t want to die.

The man stumbled past them out onto the

street.
