Chapter 91

"So violet, I would like to ask you a question but I would not want you to see it as being too intrusive" maquis said
　　"Ok and What question is that Marquise?"Violet smile
　　"Are you single?" Marquise asked.
　　Violetwas quiet for a while.
　　"It seems like you don't want to talk about it."maquis said
　　"no no you're right, I am actually single. I just recently became single" violet sighed.
　　"What man in his right senses would want to leave you alone now."
　　" You are flattering me too much Marquis." She said..
　　"No Violet, I don't mean to flatter you, it is just the truth. You"re hard working, Very intelligent. Look at what you are doing for your community. That is some awesome stuff" he said
　　"Thank you. It feels good to be appreciated. But it is way more complicated than that." She said
　　"I have ears to listen to Violet." Marquis wanted to hear more of the story Violet had to tell.
　　"Well it is more of a us not being on the same level" she tried to explain forcefully.
　　"Like social class?" Marquis asked.
　　"Err...Well let"s just call it that" she said.
　　"Well that"s a bummer!" Marquis added.
　　They walked in the cold night wind
　　"Look at the moon," marquis said "isn't it beautiful? It seems like it is a full moon tonight" he said.
　　Violet lookedat the stars on the moon with Marquis. He was right. Violet was wondering about his obsession with walking at night. But it felt really good to just stroll when you know that you are with someone safe on the streets at night. Violet hAs never taken a stroll on the streets alone at night sinceher experience on Pennywise streets.
　　She knows better than that. But now that she is with someone, she feels safe, even though she doesn't know this person so much.
　　The night birds began to chirp and wolves began to howl as it took a stroll down the streets.
　　It was really cold and Violet feltso chilly so Maquis took off his coat and hungit on hershoulder.
　　Violet felt so at peace with him.
　　"Thank you." She said "So are you married marquis?" Violet asked because she wondered how someone nice and successful is also single.
　　She knows for a fact that he would be getting a lot of advances from women. So she wondered.
　　" Yes, Violet. I am very single. Would you like to feel that space?" Violet giggled
　　"What ...no I'll pass on that offer." Violet said
　　"really? Am I that bad looking? . Marquis said jokingly
　　"Of course not,you know you're not bad looking. This is just me. You know, I just got out of something recently and I would not like to jump into something new. Perhaps I don't even know you that well"
　　She said
　　" sure. I was just kidding. I know that I'm very handsome . I mean, I get a lot of flirts and from a lot of people.
　　Even people close to you." He said
　　" What people close to me. What do you mean by that?" Violet was confused.
　　"Oh, never mind, just generally I get a lot of flirtatious advances." Marquis said.
　　"okay if you say so, but you are so vain"Violet giggled
　　Marquis had the opportunity to do whatever he wanted now. But he was playing the slow game. He did not want to rush into this. He wanted to take it slow and steady. He had bigger plans for Violet.
　　"Someone offered to be my personal tour guidein Chester city, but I declined. I don't think I will take the offer."
　　"Why wouldn't you take the offer?" Violet asked
　　"Because the person is not you." Violet blushed
　　"You really, to be a personal tour guide . Now, you know, I can do that. I have work and all sorts of other things." Violet added
　　"That was exactly what the person said." Marquis said
　　"Who is this person?"
　　you're talking about?" Violet asked again.
　　"Just a friend. It is a mutual friend of you and I" Marquis said.
　　"really? well, if Someone is offering you
　　Something You can"t decline . I don't think you should decline. After all, likeyou said, the personsaid, I am very busy."
　　"Something about your tone right now, sounds like anger or Jealousy…
　　"jealousy? What am I jealous of?" Violet asked.
　　"I don't know. Because someone has already offered to show me around the city. Don't you want to be my tour guide?"
　　"Marquis, you are such a nice guy and I wish I could, but I can't at the moment….Perhaps if I start to take you touring a lot of other things might erupt from us being together."She said,
　　"Are you saying that you can"t control yourself around me? Do you fancy me?" Marquis smirked.
　　"You would like that wouldn"t you?" Violet said.
　　"Of course. I do fancy you and what's wrong with that?" He said.
　　"Nothing. I just got out of something and I need to be sure of myself before I start making these kinds of decisions again"
　　"And I will be here with you.
　　Although I might return back to Paris , if I see that this place is too boring for me." he said
　　"wow, maquis I would really want to know what your life is like. Do you really travel all over the place just looking for fun?" Violet was amused.
　　"No, no, no, no really. I want to expand my business while exploring at the same time.
　　I was thinking of opening a store here. I the car dealers I. Chester do not have a competitive business her so I wanted to bring in the competition. I think you guys need me here. AndI was also thinking of exploring at the same time. although Paris is a city of love but I have not found love and I was thinking maybe I
　　would find it here violet" he stared into violet"s eye andviolet let's look at am strangely and started laughing.
　　Marquis is such a stretch The points guyand she liked
　　about him. He had a way of saying his mind then infusing a little humor into it, thereby making it sound like a joke.
　　Violets kind of like that about him
　　. This sky got darker and back, they strolled back to her house.Violet was a bit scared. But marquis seems likes No one loves to walk at night.he held her handand she felt safe.
　　then led her back to our House.
　　When They got back to the House, Marquis told violetabove howhewould loveto see heragain.
　　Violet just kept blush because she didn't know whereto place this. She did not know if she had room for another person in our life right now.
　　She still has a lot of hope in hers and Steel"srelationship and she was willing to make it work but still never even replied to her message.
　　Could he hateher that much? she wondered .
　　Violet decided that she will just take everyday as it goes. If wants to take Steel away from her to give himMarquis, then maybe she would accept. it.
　　maquis kissed her good night on the chin and violence wentin. Mara has forgotten herself. She was at the window all this while watching them talk outside.
　　when violetentered inside, she jumped back to the chair, where she was formally sitting.
　　"Oh, I saw you, you don't need to run" violetsaid.
　　"Well, how did the stroll go?" Mara asked
　　" it was nice. It is actually cool. You know, haven't taken a stroll out of this place since the incident at Pennywise."
　　"Yeah, but this place is a different. This place is a bit more secure. We are living in elitepeople's area now so you don't have to be scared about all that." Mara said.
　　Violetwas going back to her room when Mara called herback.
　　"Come on violet,you didn"t tell about how it's went."
　　"I said it went well."violet said
　　"Well, I wasn't talking about the stroll…stroll. I was talking about him."
　　"OhMarquis? He is such a sweet and funny person,He said will have to see me again."
　　"Really? Why?" Mara asked in disgust
　　" Why would you love to see me again?"Violetasked. "Maybe you should go and ask him." She said as she walked into a room
