Noirin says she just wants to be Marcus's friend and then the next minute she's bouncing around on his lap for a sip of lager. Talk about yer actual mixed messages.
Yeah we saw on the h/l show Noirin sitting on Marcus's lap (no bouncing) what anyone watching the live feed saw - can't remember word for word but this is the gist.
Marcus asking Noirin (who was chatting away with Karly at the time) "Noirin, why don't you come over say Hi to me, sit on my lap and I'll give you a can".
Noirin, sure I'll come over to say Hi but I'm not sitting on your lap for a can of beer, I don't want to be seen like that'
Later on, after a drunken Sophie kept asking Marcus for a can (he refused her as he'd given her a drop of beer earlier) she offered to sit on his lap, but he didn't want that.
Sophie then she asked Noirin (who was still chatting away with Karly) to sit on Marcus's lap for a can of beer that they both could share.
Noirin said Ok, went to sit on Marcus's lap...shared the can (I think with Karly too) and continued chatting to the girls while just sitting nonchalantly on Marcus's lap, got up after a while and went to sit on a chair.
Unfortunately, when Marcus gave Sophie that first drop, Sophie said to him 'Aww you're so nice Marcus, I can understand why Noirin likes you' - Marcus was so chuffed he called across to Noirin (who was chatting away with Karly and not paying attention) - 'Noirin, Sophie just told me you like me - and Noirin replied...'yeah, 'course I like you, you're my best friend in the house'.
Later, Marcus then asked Rodrigo who'd just come over to where they were sitting (Noirin still chatting away to Karly) 'Rodrigo, do you think Noirin likes me'?
a confused Rodrigo replied 'yes, I think she likes you, she's a nice girl'.
After hearing this from Sophie and Rodrigo and because Noirin did sit on his lap (never mind the reason she did) Marcus took this as a green light, so when he saw Noirin later walking into the bedroom, from where he was sitting, he ran up behind Noirin and rugby tackled her onto the bed....telling her he had important information to tell her...all hush-hush like so it would get her interest.
Mark my words - Marcus is manipulating Noirin by; feeding her truths and half truths about other hms,
bigging her up then knocking her down when he doesn't get the response he wanted, deliberately waffling on when he thinks she's going to say something he doesn't want to hear or be heard - and all under the guise of being the only one she can trust. Marcus wants to be the one who 'got the girl' and if Noirin doesn't comply he'll turn everyone he can against her.
