Marcus POV
I'm currently driving Ruby to the gym, after that I have to check on my shipments. Some new weapons are coming in and they're super important. I park my car, Ruby and I walk into the gym. As I walk in I notice a couple of guys looking pretty distracted, I don't really understand until I see Imani practically glowing next to the window.
She's wearing a dark grey sports bra, with black sweat pants. Her 6 pack glowing with her smile as she scrolls through her phone. "Hey, Imani!"
She looks up and smiles at Ruby, then she looks at me and gives me a confused look. "Marcus?" She gave me a loving smile, "What are you doing here?" Her smile is brighter than the sun itself. I blush a bit, "I came to drop off my sister when she told me that you're her trainer I just had to come and see you."
Our eyes lock and I can sense not only Ruby's smirk but also the other men staring at Imani. I walk up to her and grab her waist, pulling her close and leaning down to her ear. I whisper, "You look beautiful today. I have to go but I'll text you later." I give her a quick kiss on the cheek.
"I'll pick you up later Ruby. Bye girls!" I walk out on cloud 9, thinking about what we're going to do for our next date.
Imani POV
I smile at him as he walks away, my heart is beating a mile a minute. I sigh a bit and look over at Ruby, she smirks at me and I overheat and look away. "Let's start today's training." She giggles at my reaction and we start today's training.
Mini Timeskip
I get out of the shower and change my clothes once I get home. I then quickly put on my apron and start to make dinner for Auntie and me, I have an hour so I need to make something quick and simple. I decide to make, Soba Noodles with Salmon with starter salads. When I lay the ingredients out I get a call, it's Marcus. I put my earbud on and place my phone in my back pocket, "Hey Marcus."
We end up talking the whole time while I cook my meal, once I'm finally done I set the table for 2 and place the food on the plates. Then the doorbell rings, "Marcus, I got to go my Auntie is here. Bye~" He bids farewell and we hang up. I open the door to see my Auntie with her arms out, I give her a big hug and lead her to the dinner table.
We clap our hands together, "Thanks for the food!" And we dig in, not even 2 minutes in and she's already asking about Marcus. I fill her in on how we met, I just leave my theories out. "Imani, I think he's in a gang." I giggle a bit, "I think he's in the mafia." We both share a laugh, "I'm not that concerned about Marcus. He seems to really care about you and if you have enough skill to take down 5 of his men all at once then he should be scared of you~ And you know if you get hurt then I'll-"
I finish her sentence, "Fly us to the moon and blow up the world. I know~"
We laugh together and continue our dinner.
One Week Later
I text Marcus my address as I get ready for our lunch. I put on some skinny jeans, wedge heels and a loose shirt. Once I'm done getting dressed and packing my purse, I hear the doorbell ring. I open the door and see Marcus looking sexy as usual.
We look at each other for a minute, "Hey Marcus." He smiles at me, "Hey Imani."
I lock the door, then he leads me to his car. He drives us to a fancy restaurant and leads me inside. We meet the receptionist, "Name please." He smiles, "Mario Roseno."
She nods and leads us to the top floor and seats us next to a window. I got a nice view of the city, the puffy and full clouds made it a nice piece of scenery. We look through the menu and place our order when the waitress serves us. From the corner of my eye, I see the waitress trying to get Marcus attention. She fails miserably as he ignores her and focuses his attention on me, 'Cute.'
Once she leaves, we chat a bit, talking about our family and what not. We end up staying there longer than expected because by the time we were about to leave the stars were out and the restaurant was closing.
He held my hand as he leads me out of the restaurant, and drove me back home.
He walks me to my doorstep, our eyes meet and we can't seem to pull away. He blushes a bit, "I hope you had a good time." I chuckle a bit, "I did, tonight was wonderful." Comfortable silence fills the air.
He steps a bit closer and whispers my name, "Imani." I look at his lips and then his eyes, we lean closer until our lips touch. First, it's slow and simple, he puts his hands around my waist pulling me closer. I wrap my arms around his neck and our once simple kiss turned into a heated one.
Due to the need for oxygen, we had to part. We look into each other's eyes, and he whispers soft yet memorable words, "Please be mine."
I give him a loving smile, "I would love to."
