MARLEY COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW fast she ran towards Tom's trailer. Yes she was nearby anyway, but she never enjoyed running. For some reason, running to his trailer felt right in some odd way.

She knocked on the door, her cheeks flushed and out of breath. Marley ran a hand through her hair, sighing at how greasy it felt against her finger tips and made a mental note to take a shower that night.

"You look hot." Tom said once he opened the door. When he realized what he said was completely out of context, he rushed to save himself. "I-I mean red. Yeah, you look red."

Marley felt herself smirk at his words and placed her hands on her hips. "Thank you Thomas, I love looking like Clifford the Big Red Dog." her eyes glanced over his clothes, realizing that he was in his Spider-Man get up.

Tom blushed, darting his eyes away towards scene behind him. "Nice outfit, Thomas."

"Thanks, Marbles. As weird as it is, this is sort of comfortable." he replied smoothly and threw a hoodie over his red and blue clothes.

"Aren't you wearing a thong?" Marley made a face, scrunching her nose and eyebrows together as he stepped down from his trailer.

"Indeed, and yes, it is uncomfortable."

"Things you do for roles, hm?"

Tom laughed lightly and nodded before stepping in front of her, and leaned forward with his arms back. "Now get on."

"At least take me out on a first date, Holland." Marley joked before jumping on his back and wrapping her arms around his neck, while her legs curled around his torso.

"Eh, maybe." Tom grinned and held her thighs. "I saw Mackie run through here."

Marley playfully kicked his ass with her foot and yelled, "Onward my trustful spider!" she giggled as he imitated a horse noise before jolting forward to find Mackie.

After Marley successfully put pudding on Mackie's face, Tom and her went back to his trailer to watch Netflix and eat tacos. Yes, they went to Taco Bell and Starbucks while Tom was dressed up as Spider-Man. One of the funniest things Marley has seen in her life.

"Are you fine if we watch 'Lie to Me'? I'm sort of obsessed with it as of late." Tom asked after he plopped down on his couch.

"Sure, never heard of it." she sat down on the other side of the couch, it pained her to do so, but in her head it was better.

"It's pretty cool, so there's this guy, who also happens to british like someone else you know, and he and this company his has helps the police find out who's lying with facial expressions and such." Tom babbled on, glancing at her as he put the show on and wondered why she was so far apart.

"Dang, sounds interesting. Let's watch it." Marley nodded and stretched her feet out in front of her, placing them on his lap.

The show went on, starting with the man, Cal Lightman, talking to a man in an orange jumpsuit. They were talking about bombs and where the man in orange hid the bomb. It turned out the man gave Cal and the police the wrong location, and Cal was able to find out which church it was hidden under.

As the show kept going, Marley and Tom watched with faint smiles on their lips when they saw Cal being sassy towards everyone. And the distance between the two slowly disappeared since neither of them grew comfortable in the spots they were in.

So Marley hesitantly rested her head on Tom's shoulder as his arms snaked around her waist. Tom's head fell on top of hers, not really paying attention to the show at all. He was looking down at her dark hair, thinking about how he liked to hold her in his arms. Unconsciously, Marley snuggled closer to him, her head fitting perfectly under his chin and not in an awkward way that Liz's did.

"Knock, knock!" the door flew open and immediately the two jumped apart, both disheveled and flustered.

"Liz!" Tom said over enthusiastically at his girlfriend.

Marley sat there awkwardly, looking down at her lap as the couple pecked each other's lips. "I didn't know you were coming by today."

"I wanted to surprise you," Liz glanced over at Marley warily before looking at Tom, "and you must be Marley. Tom has told me so much about you."

Marley looked up and plastered a fake smile on her lips as she stood up with her hand out. "Indeed, and you're Liz. It's finally nice to meet you."

Liz shook her hand with a smile, chuckling. "And you too." she released Marley's hand then looked at Tom who was praying that nothing would go wrong. "You too looked busy, should I come back later?-"

"No-"

"Yes-"

Marley and Tom glared at one another before Marley smiled sweetly at Liz. "I'll come back another time. You two have fun." she winked at both of them and grabbed her Taco Bell bag.

"Are you sure-"

"Yes I am, Thomas." Marley cut Tom and Liz off before slipping past the two of them, ignoring the tugging feeling at her heart as she walked towards the door. "Have an amazing night you two."

She quickly exited the trailer, her heart hardening at the sound of her feet walking away.
