Marcus's POV

I woke up with a petite Niomi in my arms. I kissed her shoulder and she slowly opened her eyes. She turned around and pecked my cheek.

"Good morning," she whispered. Her voice was a little sore but other than that she was perfect. I looked down and kissed her passionately. She kissed me back stronger. I pulled away and wrapped myself around her.

"Your not leaving!" I said. She tried to wriggle out but my grasp was too tight. I burst into laughter as she kicked me under the covers several times. I finally let her go and she ran off to the bathroom. I got changed quickly and sat on the bed Skyping Alfie.

Niomi came out the shower wrapped in a towel. I ended my call with Alfie. She tried to pick up her clothes off the dresser but she couldn't manage and the towel fell. She covered herself back up in embarrassment.

"Niomi, you don't need to hide yourself, your beautiful," I walked over to her and pushed her hair back behind her ears. I kissed her slowly, she kissed back with more passion.

"Marcus I'm ready," she whispered.

Niomi's POV,

I kissed Marcus back passionately. I was ready to commit to him. All this time id been worried when there was nothing to worry about. Marcus and me were right for each other. He knew it and I knew it. I whispered in his ear

"I'm ready," he picked me up and dropped me onto the bed. I giggled as he kissed me more and more.

I lay in the bed out of breath. Marcus had gone for a shower. I'd double checked that we'd used protection. I didn't want to go through a Zoe drama.

He came out fully clothed and winked at me. I was wearing a superman cropped t-shirt, leggings and my white converse. I was just about to start my makeup when Marcus wrapped his arms around my waist and whispered into me ear

"Did you enjoy it?" His voice was so gorgeous and manly. I turned around and kissed his cheek.

"I'll take that as a yes!" He smiled and winked as he left my bedroom.

A few minutes later he came back with a bowl of muesli and fruit. I quickly ate it and grabbed my bag. We went out the Marcus's car and got in. He turned up the radio. 5 seconds of summer blasted out of the speakers. A perfect way to end the perfect morning.

We walked into the main hall hand in hand. Alfie and Zoe smiled at us and we walked over. We were soon joined by Joe, Jim, Tanya, Louise, Matt and Caspar.

We all got our envelopes and opened them at the same time. I looked down at my results.

I couldn't believe my eyes. I looked up to see Marcus gob smacked.

"I've enough to get into Uni!" I shouted. I hugged him and showed him my results.

"Niomi! That's amazing!? You could get into Oxford with them grades!" I smiled.

"I may have the grades but I don't have the money! I'd rather stay here in Brighton!"

We all decided to go for a celebratory Nando's. Even Caspar managed to get a few GSCEs. He was moving back to South Africa in September, we'd miss him but we all knew South Africa is his home.

I called up my mum and told her about my results. She was crying down the phone to me about maybe going to a better Uni. I wanted Brighton. Brighton was my home. I didn't plan on leaving anytime soon.

I officially labeled this day- best day ever
