# JAY'S POV
Soon it was Saturday and I decided to be lazy and not go for a race . It was either on Saturdays or Sundays . So on Saturday night I thought of watching a movie in my room with some popcorns and coke . I decided to watch " to all the boys I've loved " . I hadn't watched that movie at all in fact so why not watch it today , I thought to myself. It was almost 8 in the evening and I slept for 4 hours but I was still lazy . When I reached the part where peter ran to lara jean with the letter he got , Mom called out to me .
" YEAH MOM!"
" Someone's here for you ." and I couldn't help but wonder who it was at this hour . It couldn't be Abigail , she has a race today . Thinking about who I could be I went down the stairs only to meet a familiar face . MARCUS. Of course , he's been doing things outa blue these days .
" Hey " I said with a questioning look on my face
" Hey , ummm I thought of meeting you . I mean ...urm...I didn't see you on the track today...so..um..yeah..um." my mom and dad we puzzled looking at him and my crazy expressions.
" Okay so you came to meet me . So did you want anything ?"
" No... I mean ...umm... i'm extremely sorry this was a bad idea." he stood up to leave when my mom interrupted.
" Marcus , why don't you take jay and go for a short walk or hang in the garden ."
" If she's fine with it ." looking over to me for an answer i nodded as a yes .
" I'll just change into my tracks ."
" Sure ." he answered and i went to change . I'm done with being tough with him . He's been filled with guilt from the day he found out about me and I've only made it worse these past few days for him, When he tried his best to make things easy for me . Maybe i could have taken it in a " he owe's me" way but , i think its equal now . After getting changed i went down .
" Let's go " i told him looking over at him .
" After you ." he opened the door for me . He looked handsome in everything he wore . Today he wore black jeans and dark blue t-shirt which terribly failed to hide his built. And oh my i was drooling .
" Take a picture shortie . It'll last long ." he said while smirking at his discovery.
" I have a standard to keep . "
" Oh , yeah ? you were ogling few seconds back ."
" wasn't "
"was"
" Whatever , don't call me shortie." Gosh so embarrassing .
While giving out a short laugh he said " You're short so that's gonna be your nickname."
" And your tall and huge so i'm gonna call you freak ."
" Hey" He pouted . it was cute though.
" Soooo Jay ."
" Yesss Marcus ."
" Lets play 10 questions ." He asked while he seated himself on the grassy ground of the garden and myself on the bench . Since it was late we decided to stay within .
" Ok"
" I'll start " He said all confidently but i didn't miss that smirk.
" Go ahead ."
" Whats' you favorite color?"
" umm... blue and pink ."
" Ok ..Favorite food ?"
" Pasta."
" Perfect . Favorite animal ?"
" Dog"
" When did you start racing ?"
" 16"
" What do you do other than racing ?"
" Cook , bake , paint ."
" Ummm how many boyfriends have you had ?
" None" . at that answer his eyes widened .
" Your joking right ?"
" Why would i joke about something like that ?"
" So your a virgin?"
" Ahhh yea, nice way to find out . And that makes your 7th question . 3 more and i get to ask ."
" What type of guy you wish for?"
" Someone who would treat me the way he treats his mom ." and his eyes softened again.
" Why don't you make new friends ?"
" Too much drama this year . Might as well leave it for the next."
" Ok last but not the least . First best friend ." i stayed silent for a few moment . Marcus noticed and lifted one eyebrow at me . i looked up into his eyes
" Ethan"
