Marcus hand paused a moment then went back to wrapping strands of my hair around his fingers.
"Yeah, okay."
I chanced a glance over at Amanda and she was watching Marcus play with my hair with an amused grin on her face.
Marcus cleared his throat, "You picking up or taking off Sadie?"
I watched as Sadie smiled up at Marcus. He had to be affected by her. That thought bothered me. Even as stupid as that sounded. It did.
"Taking off. Jax is a guest judge on American Idol tonight.
Then back here tomorrow for a concert in Pensacola." Holy shizz.
Marcus chuckled and ran a finger down my neck causing chil bumps to break out on my very bare arms.
"You're acclimating to his life well. See you had nothing to worry about."
Sadie shrugged then grinned, "He makes everything worth it."
"GAG! Okay stop with the mushy," Amanda interrupted.
Standing up Amanda motioned to Marcus, "Come on I need to swing by Dad's and pick up my car. He's just giving me a new one. Figures. Kiss ass."
Marcus's hand froze and I could feel the tension in his body rolling off him in waves. Something had upset him. Was it his dad giving his sister a car? Or because she called their dad a kiss ass?
Sadie stood up, "I have to go too. I promised Kane I'd be there ready for take off at ten," her gaze dropped to me, "It was really nice to meet you Low." I could see the sincerity on her face and dang if I didn't like her. She flashed her hundred watt runway smile on Larissa, "And it was wonderful to meet you too Larissa. I don't get to meet princesses often."
Larissa clapped happily at the word Princess no doubt.
"Good luck you two," Sadie said looking from Marcus to Amanda.
"Thanks," Marcus replied in a tense tone as he stood up behind me.
"Thank you for everything. I'll miss you this weekend but I'm going to watch Idol tonight so wave to the camera when it zooms in on you." Amanda pulled Sadie into a hug and Sadie squeezed her. Something was definitely going on with Marcus's family and I'd bet money his Dad was the cause.
Amanda walked Sadie to the door then turned back to me,
"I loved meeting you Low. Really I did. We need to spend some more time together."
I simply nodded surprised by the other girl's enthusiasm.
"I'm going to walk Sadie out and get my things from the Hummer. I'll meet you in the truck," Amanda told Marcus with a strange expression on her face. It was as if they were having a conversation without words.
"Okay," Marcus replied.
Once the door shut behind them I stretched my legs and stood up.
"Martus pay," Larissa demanded.
"No sweetie Marcus can't play right now. He needs to go bye bye."
"Bye bye too" she demanded raising her arms up like the queen of Sheba.
Marcus chuckled and I could feel the tension in him ease some.
"You make it really hard to leave princess but I gotta go.
We'll play again. I promise."
