Chapter 21

After a while, mark shifted around. He was now on his side and he was holding my waist. My cheeks heated up a little. I lightly shook his shoulder.

"M-Mark. Wake up." I whispered. He let out a soft groan and nuzzled into my stomach. My body was tense for a moment before I let out a sigh and relaxed. I went back to running my fingers through his hair. It was so soft and fluffy. My right hand began to trail down his jaw, feeling his scuff. It was as coarse as I thought.

"What are you doing?" Mark asked. I looked down and saw that he was staring at me. He had a small smile, probably enjoying the feeling of my hands running through his hair and scuff.

"I could ask you the same thing." He saw the position we were in and his cheeks dusted pink. He quickly let go of my waist and sat up. He moved to the other side of the couch, looking away.

"Sorry about that." I let out a small laugh.

"It's ok Mark. So, are we going to play games or what?"

"Right. Right. Games. I'm so pro." Mark got up and began hooking up a console and random game.

Glad that Mark is calming down. I was enjoying myself though.

He handed me a controller and I saw that the game was Halo.

"I thought you didn't like Halo?" I asked as Mark sat next to me. For some reason, I prefer Mark next to me.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I can't be pro."

"Whatever you say Markimoo." Mark let out a chuckle.

"You should call me that more often. It's cute." We started a round and I immediately sniped Mark's character.

"Boom. Headshot."

"I'm so going to get you back."

"I'd to see you try-aaa!" Mark had just ran over my character with one of the vehicles.

"How's that?"

"Goddammit Mark." I said as Mark began to laugh next to me. We played for a few hours and those hours consisted of  me constantly killing Mark's character.

"Ok, you know what? Next kill is the ultimate winner." Mark suggested.

"You're on." We kept trying to shoot each while dodging and so far, there was a not a clear winner.

"Winner gets a prize."

"What's the prize Mark?"

"You'll see." I stood in front of Mark, blocking his view.

"Hey! No fair!"

"Eep!" Mark grabbed my waist and pulled me onto his lap. That short distraction was all I needed because I was finally able to kill Mark's character. Mark placed his head on my shoulder and he held my waist tightly.

"Looks like you won." Mark said in his deep voice, sending a chill down my spine.

"Here's your prize." He placed a soft kiss on my cheek. My cheeks became red and I was stuttering. Mark let out a laugh before letting go of my waist, but he seemed a little reluctant to do so. I stood up, covering my cheek.

"M-Mark! What was that for?!" I wasn't angry. Not one bit. Just shocked.

"You're the cutest thing I've seen right now." Mark said while laughing.

"You clearly haven't seen yourself in a mirror lately." He stopped laughing and his cheeks turned red.

"Now it's your turn to blush."

"Sh-shut up." We stared at each other, red faced, and began to laugh. I took out my phone and saw that it was now 2:40.

"I got to get going. Lauren will be getting out of school soon. Oh, and I got good news." I said as I got up and began to make my way to the door.

"What?"

"Lauren didn't have a nightmare last night."

"Yay!" Mark got up and pulled me into a hug and spun me around a little.

"Mark, I know you're happy but please put me down. I'm getting dizzy."

"Oops. Sorry." He set me down and held my arm to make sure I wasn't going to fall over.

"It's ok. It was fun. See you later." He let go of my arm and gave a small wave.

"Bye." I left Mark's place and made my way to my car. Once in, I drove to Lauren's school. By the time I got there, the bell rang. I parked in the parking lot, got out, and waited for Lauren. A few minutes later, I saw Lauren making her way to the parking lot and there were a few girls around her. I recognized two of them and began to feel uneasy. Lauren saw me, and her eyes light up. She walked faster and soon made it. I gave her a quick hug and she got into the car.

"hey, why are you here?" I turned and saw a group of 5 girls in front of me.

"Picking up my daughter from school."

"Lauren doesn't have a mom."

"She does now. Now, if you'll excuse me-"

"Why would you take someone else's burden?"

"Yeah, and she's not even your kid. How can you love a child that isn't even yours?" My eyes became hard and sharp as I glared at them. I straighten my back as well.

"First of all, she isnn't a burden. No child is, though you all may be pushing that. Second, yes you can love a child that you did not birth and I do love her."

"Ewwww. Pedo."

"Pedo!"

"Pedo!" They shouted as they ran away. I relaxed both my posture and my eyes before getting into my car.

"Thank you mom."

"Huh?"

"Just, thank you." I gave her a smile.

"No problem dear." I started up the car and drove to the hair salon.
