Chapter 35: Chapter thirty five

Sasha walked seductively over to Marcus and planted a kiss on his lips. Then she looked between them, "Did I interrupt something?"

Marcus forced a smile, his heart still pounding. "No, nothing important," he said, though his eyes lingered on Alina's for a moment longer before he turned to Sasha.

"What are you doing here?" Marcus asked, surprised to see her.

"Well, I decided to surprise you and greet your parents," she said, smiling. "You know, since I came back, I haven't greeted them."

"Okay, well, that's nice," Marcus said.

She turned her gaze to Alina, still maintaining her smile. "So, who is she? Aren't you going to introduce me?"

"Oh," Marcus said nervously, scratching his head. "Um, she... is..." He was still stuttering his answer before Alina cut him off.

"Oh, I'm Alina," she said. "We're classmates." She extended her hand for a handshake, and Sasha shook it.
