After the meal, Jessie felt a lot better.
She had a knack for bouncing back from sadness in a short time.
Melissa felt relieved. As they stepped out of the restaurant, Marcus was waiting in the car for them.
Jessie glanced at him and asked, How long have you been waiting?

Jessie remarked, Youre quite the gentleman.
Please! Dont state the obvious! Marcus and Melissa offered to drive Jessie home, but she declined.
Ill grab a taxi. Melissa needs to rest since shes pregnant.
She pulled out a box from her bag and said, Heres a little something for the baby-to-be! | want to be the godmother, alright?! Instead of turning it down, Melissa accepted it with a smile. You better tie the knot before you can take on that role for my baby.
Saving us the time finding a godfather altogether.
Jessie scrunched up her face.
Meanwhile, Marcus grinned. He held the door open for Melissa to hop in. After she was settled, he strolled back to the drivers seat.
Instead of driving off, he watched Jessie climb into the taxi and quipped, Having her as the godmother isnt such a bad ideal Whys that? Melissa inquired.
Slouching in his seat, Marcus turned to her and explained, Think about it! If shes our kids godmother, and her future husband will be the godfather And | bet Alberts the one shell end up with.

After a moment, she leaned in, cupped his face in her hands, planted aks on his lips, and murmured, Youre such a troublemaker! Marcus, remember when you used to tease me like this? Howd | end up falling for you back then? When | was your secretary, | didnt have to do house chores for you! But | still waited on you hand and foot. | mustve been out of my mind.
Marcus was feeling pretty good about himself.
He leaned in and planted a kis on her cheek, grinning. That means
you had a crush on me back then! Melissa didnt deny it. Yes! | did kind of like you back then.
Marcus teased, Well, lL let it slide this time for crushing on me for so long. Oh, by the way, Im starving. Lets grab a bite.
