Never the Right Time

Chapter 10

I looked down the stairs to see Rebecca standing in the doorway. My heart in my throat and I stood there silently.

"Soph can you wait in my room? I will be back up in a minute." Mark asked

"Ye-yea no problem" I stuttered out and I turned and walked back upstairs.

I sat on the edge of his bed picking at my thumb nail waiting for him to come back upstairs.

After what seemed like forever, Mark came back upstairs. He walked into the room with an angry look on his face. His brows were furrowed. He ran his fingers through his hair and sat down to put his head in his hands.

"I'm sorry Soph. This was a shitty end to a first date"

" It's ok. Are you ok?" I asked

" yea I think so. She wants to talk. I sent her away since you were here. I didn't want to put you in the middle of that's mess. We are planning to talk tomorrow" he replied wistfully " I don't know what she wants to talk about but it can't be good either way. Not looking forward to tomorrow."

I'm sorry" "I said while rubbing his back. "I wish there was something to do to help"

He grabbed my hand and kissed my knuckles, "me too Soph. I hate that she ruined our date"

"Well its not completely ruined"

He looked sideways at me with a smirk, "oh really"

I let out a snort, "ok well maybe not like that. Stop smirking at me"

He threw his hands up laughing, "ok ok!"

I pulled him towards me into a hug and leaned back with him against my chest.

"I could stay like this for forever" he joked and poked at my boobs.

I swatted his hand away and he looked up at me with a big fake pout and puppy dog eyes. I burst out laughing

"You're a bad influence" I laughed at him

"That may be true, but its fun to corrupt you a little bit" he responded as he put a hand on my neck and pulled me down.

My brain exploded as our lips met. I could stay like this for forever and be completely happy.

Our lips seemed to melt together as they responded to each other. When he finally pulled away he rested his forehead against mine and was breathing heavy"

"Wow" he finally said

"Mmhhmmm" was I could say.

"That's all I get?" He laughed

"Brain not working" I huffed out

He burst out laughing. "Well its definitely safe to say we might have saved this date"

"You can say that again" I huffed

I looked at the clocked and realized how late it was.

" I think I should get going"

"Are you sure?" He groaned "you could stay and snuggle some more"

"So tempting, but I have work in the morning. I don't want be presumptuous, but next time?"

He tackled me back on to the bed "Oh there will definitely be a next time."

"Don't get too cocky now." I laughed and snuggled into his arms. "I wish I didn't have to go"

"Me too"

I pushed him off of me and pulled my boots on. I stood up and put my hand out to pull him up.

"Come on Marky Mark, walk me out."

"Ughhhh fineeee" he groaned "for the record I want you to stay"

"I know! I know!" I laughed and pulled him down the stairs.

When we got to my car, I pulled him into a big hug. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever. I felt like I could've stayed there for what seemed like forever. I finally pulled away, he tilted my chin up and pulled me into a deep feelings filled kiss.

He finally pulled away, "sweet dreams" he whispered, opened my door and stepped back for me to get in.

"Right back at ya" I said shooting finger guns at him.

He burst out laughing as he backed away from my car. I pulled away from his house, mentally kicking myself for not staying.
