Marcus and Cornelia were checking each other out. He was rocking a white tee and black casual pants today.
They’d been together a year and no matter if it was summer or winter, he’d always step out in a white shirt and black dress pants. Today, for the first lime, she saw him in something less formal
Why the sudden switch up in his style? The answer came into view when Cornelia spotted the sneakers on his feet
She was the one who bought those for him. He had changed his outfit just so he could wear the sneakers she bought when seeing her if not for the sneakers, she would have totally forgotten that she once bought him shoes. Yet he remembered such a small thing…
Cornelia felt a warmth in her heart, looked up at him, and saw his deep gaze behind the silver framed glasses.
He adjusted his glasses, a smile spreading across his face, “You look stunning”
He was complimenting her, Cornelia knew, and it threw her off a bil
Thank heavens for Abigail who came out to break the awkwardness. “If you guys are going on a date, get going already The weather’s perfect. Don’t waste it.”
“Let’s go Cornelia made the first move to escape the awkward atmosphere
Marcus followed closely behind
Zack and Abigail watched them leave the room and enter the elevator Abigail sighed, “How can Cornelia be so gorgeous? She doesn’t seem out of place standing next to a hunk like Marcus”
Zack leased, “No matter how stunning Cornelia is, she can’t escape being chased by the bad boys.”

Zack responded, “I’m happy for her, but I’m also allowed to have my own feelings.”
Abigail said, “You used to say Marcus had bad intentions towards Cornelia, none of us believed it. Today, I finally understand why you felt that way.”
Zack asked, “You get it too?”
Abigail said, “Don’t you think the way he looks at Cornelia makes you uncomfortable?”
Zack said, “The way he looks at Cornelia is too possessive, I’ve only seen that kind of look in the animal kingdom, when a predator is hunting. I’m worried he has ill intentions, that Cornelia might be deceived. But knowing he’s Marcus, I guess I can understand”
Abigail said, “Yeah, he does look at his woman with a gentle, somewhat domineering, and possessive gaze.”
Zack said, “Stop imagining things.”
Abigail said, “I’m not imagining. You saw it too. The way Marcus looks at Cornelia, as if he can’t wait to have her. I’m certain, Marcus likes Cornelia, and he’s already deeply in love with her
Zack said, “You seem to really get it!”
Abigail said, “Let’s just wait and see. Maybe by this time next year, I’ll be holding my goddaughter.”
As the elevator doors closed, Marcus reached out and held Cornelia’s hand. Cornelia instinctively tried to pull away, but as soon as she moved, Marcus tightened his grip. His palm was big and warm, which could completely envelope her hand and transmit his warmth to her.
Then, his deep and powerful voice echoed in her ear, “Cornelia, can I hold your hand?”
Cornelia looked up at him, “You’re already holding it, why are you asking?”
Marcus replied, “Because I want to know if you’re okay with me holding your hand. If you’re strongly against it, I won’t force you”
Cornelia said, “I’m not against you holding my hand, trying to pull away was just my body’s instinctive
