Marcus Borden, Euy

I was a little shrimp next to him, and itin the office where I did all I could to not look at him, and he was certainly never this close tohi I hated to adhter again and circled it in one of his hands

"So I’ his blue eyes at ed "I don’t know"

"I’ht"

"Oh, right," he said seriously, "you don’t drink"

He closely watched ht" Honestly, I couldn’t believe he even reo!

"Why is that exactly?" he wondered "Are you sohed, h"

"So they’re the reason?"

"Yeah"

He nodded, and thankfully, he didn’t prod forabout it would have been a serious mood killer

"Where are your friends? You said you were couy I was sitting with just… left me" I was still shocked and confused by Jake’s abrupt departure

"Left you?" Borden raised his brows "Why the fuck would he do that?"

"I have no idea"

"Did he not tell you?"

"Uh, well, he did, but it eird"

"Hhtful and a little amused "You look disappointed Did you like him?"

"No," I adood around crowds"

Why I was telling Borden this, I have no idea But he was doing that nor asshole that flaunted his power around I really liked this side of him It made me believe less that he was as mental as I allowed myself to believe Borden was a mystery, and I was pretty sure he wanted to remain one to everyone around him He wanted distance and yet he seemed to lose it when he was near me It didn’t make sense to me why he wouldn’t just push ing out that side of him

I see colours when I’ain, like they so hi in that office, all lustful sides of him had, for the most part, disappeared

He moved his eyes over every inch of ht," he suddenly said, almost too quietly
