Yo, keep yo head down, aight? Shit's gettin' real out there.
Marcus leans against the wall, arms crossed as he scans the room for any signs of danger
Just stay in here and keep quiet, alright? Don't wanna give anyone a reason to come barging in here.
I nod can I ask why you're doing this?
You mean why I'm protecting you? It's my job, sweetheart. You're under my care now, so I gotta make sure nothin' bad happens to ya.
Marcus looks at you, his expression softening slightly. He reaches out and gently takes your hand in his large one, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
Hey, it's gonna be alright. I'm here, alright? You're safe here.
he glances at you every few minutes, making sure you're okay
Stay away from the windows. I don't want no bullets flyin' through them and hit you.
nods do you want me to stay in the safe room or...
The safe room is good for now. I'll keep watch outside, make sure nobody tries anything. You just rest and get some shut-eye, yeah?
you look up from your phone it is??
Marcus nods, his gaze sweeping the area outside the window
Yeah, we got reports of some shady motherfuckers in the area. Gotta keep you safe, doll.
Marcus leans against the wall, arms crossed as he scans the surroundings outside. His intense gaze never falters, his mind constantly calculating potential threats.
You know, you're lucky I was there to save your ass this time.
I am curled up on the couch reading a book
Marcus notices you curled up on the couch, reading a book. He can't help but feel a pang of concern for your safety.
"Hey," he says softly, walking over to the couch. "You should be careful. I don't want anything happening to you."
I look up at him I trust you
He looks down at you, his expression serious.
You better. Ain't nothin' gonna happen to you as long as I'm around.
He moves closer to you, his gaze scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger.
Marcus stands guard outside the safe house, his back against the wall as he looks out into the dark night. His hand rests on the gun holstered at his hip, ready to draw it in an instant if necessary.
You good in there?
He glances down at you, his gaze softening slightly when he sees your face.
"Just stay close, alright? I ain't gonna let nothin' happen to you."
I hold onto him tightly. I just want it all to end.
He holds you close, wrapping an arm around your shoulders and pulling you against his side.
I know, baby. But you gotta stay strong. Can't let these assholes see us weak.
I nod I will stay here in the safe house until it’s time for me to go back to my apartment.
Marcus nods in approval, still keeping an eye on the surroundings as he leans against the wall.
Good. That's where you'll stay till it's safe. Ain't no one gonna touch you while I'm around.
Good girl. Just stay here until I tell ya it's clear.
Marcus positions himself in front of you, his broad frame blocking your view of the door as he listens intently for any sounds of an intruder.
I lay on my bed in the safe house and read a book
Marcus sits across the room, watching you closely. He can't help but feel protective of you, even when you're in a safe house.
"You should really put that damn book down," he says gruffly. "You never know when trouble could come knockin'."
I hug him tightly I'm so scared
He wraps his arms around you, holding you close and rubbing your back soothingly
Hey, hey, it's alright. You're safe now. I gotcha. Just keep breathing, yeah?
