***Mark's POV***

"Mark." Sebastian steps into my office, closing the door softly behind him before turning towards me.

Staring at him quietly, I don't say anything. A thousand emotions are running through me all at once. I'm angry because we are fighting. I don't want to fight with him. I am disgusted at the fact that he believes Mellison would attempt to get in between us. I am hurt that he believes that I could actually fall for it if she decided to try.

I just want to be a friend. I want to be there for her, unlike how our lives together ended. I feel obligated to pay penance for how my family broke my ex-girlfriend.

"Mark, we have to talk. I don't want to lose you. I don't want to push you away. However, I don't feel bad about asking you not to go tonight. Not sure how to fix this, but I do want to fix it." Sebastian takes a seat across from me. My desk sits between us. If that was an apology, it is not good enough.

"You don't trust me." That is the main issue here.

"It's not you who is the issue. I hate to assume Millicent would attempt to take you away. However, I am not willing to chance it." Sebastian is all business. I'm not fond of that at all. His face is etched in worry, while I don't think he has anything to be worried over.

"If you think I can be so easily swayed, you don't know me." That is my argument; take it or leave it.

"I'm saying why you would take the chance. Mark, she is getting divorced. You have history. I would be the world's dumbest man if I took that for granted." Sebastian looks incredulously at me as if his theory is flawless.

"Well, congratulations, now you are the world's smartest single man. Please leave." I'm standing my ground. He doesn't fucking own me. I'm going to that dinner. He can kick rocks on that note. I turn my chair away from him, so I don't have to engage any further. He made his empty bed. Sebastian can fucking lay in that cold motherfucker.

"Over a fucking argument?" Sebastian's voice booms throughout my office. The sheer volume is overwhelming. I have never heard him talk in that tone.

"Get out!" Turning around, I stand. I slam my hands on my desk. He stirred the bull. He can have the god damned horns.

"We are talking about this." The yelling is far more abrasive than I would have imagined.

"GET OUT!" My voice carries high above his. I'm fucking done.

"You are throwing away everything over an ex. You think there isn't a problem here. Mark, what the fuck are you thinking?" Sebastian stands up. His chair knocks backward as he tries to make it out of my door. When he turns the knob, he can't pull it open.

"Get out," I scream once again. He has to fucking leave. I'm angry. I don't want to say anything I will regret.

"I'm trying." Seb's voice shakes. The treble makes my heart stutter.

"It's not that fucking hard." I walk behind him, yanking on the door. It won't budge. I shake the knob before slamming my fist against the wooden barrier.

"You two are fucking talking this out. You're not leaving until you do." Mak yells through the door. That boy is not strong enough to hold out against me. I rattle the door again while trying to pull it open.

"Mark, if you break that door, I'm kicking your ass." Mario's loud vibrato makes my hand leave the knob. I can't win against that.

"Talk fast. I want you to leave." I practically spit my demand towards Sebastian.
