"Annie"

I used Mark's handkerchief and it was filthy once I dried my tears and buggers with it. I handed it to him and he just put it carefully in his pocket. I was convinced everything that had happened was his fault...

"Thank you, Mark." I said. Mark didn't say anything, he sat next to me and we didn't speak to each other. I couldn't read Mark's facial expression, he seemed speechless and sad. Winston seemed happy his owner was back licking him and in love with him.

"Mark...I..." nothing else came out. Mark looked at me and grabbed my hand.

"I've missed you Annie." he said. He continued to caress my face and then pulled his hand away. "sorry...I didn't mean to touch you." when he touched me I felt his warmth and his honesty. I wasn't sure if I had missed him or not but...it felt good that he was there for me. I am a stupid bitch, but he still cared for me.

"Thank you for coming to get me." I said, sincerely. Mark gave me a little smile.

"Annie...I want to forget everything that happened this week and just go back to how we were in Switzerland." He said. Are we still together after everything that happened!? This man... "I know that Tom and you have a long and complicated history, but I think that who you need in your life is me...we are a good team." Mark got quiet for a second and sighed. "I can never be Tom, I can never be that exciting or...unpredictable, but I know that I love you, and I know that you love me...I don't want us to get sidetracked...what we have is GOOD Annie." wasn't he being a little bit pushy? I didn't know what to think, I for sure didn't deserve this treatment and he should've let me die on my own...I didn't need a guy anymore... I started crying again.

"Look at me Annie!" Mark yelled. "stop crying!""I am sorry I never got the chance to introduce you to my parents, I am sorry I never told you I had a sister...I fucked up alright!" he said he fucked up!? I was the one who fucked up. I was the one who cheated on him for a whole week with her EX!? Mark calmed down. "I've missed you Annie Picadersi...and I know you missed me too."

"I don't know..." I said putting my head against his chest. Mark immediately held me. He felt nice. He smelled familiar...I couldn't believe I thought he had cheated on me when he obviously hadn't.

"Annie..." Mark said. I looked at him.

"What?" I said quietly.

"Marry me..." I was more confused than anything else...had he just...proposed?

"What!?" I said looking straight to his eyes, was he being serious!? What the fucking fuck!?

"I am serious Annie. I lost you once and I don't want to lose you ever again...you are my soul and you own my whole being. I am because I have you and without you...I am nothing. Marry me." I was waiting the whole week for Tom to do that thing that Mark had done and it had never happened and it will never happen. How could I re-start what we had when I had already chosen somebody else? Mark pulls out the ring out of his front pocket. " you don't have to reply right away..."

"I do." I heard myself say. Did I just say yes to his proposal? Mark smiled.

"Did you say yes?" he replied confused, trying to hide his excitement.

"Yes..." I said with a tiny smile. In my mind I didn't know what I was doing...I felt it was the worst punishment I could give Tom, and just the idea of having him see me in the altar with someone else made me smile. Fuck Tom. I should've never gone after him! However, I did have to ask. "Did you do it Mark? Did you say something to Tom to..." Mark denied rapidly.

"I didn't know I promise...I just took the train to France this morning and I found you...

I smiled at him and nodded, I couldn't read his face, and I for sure didn't know if was lying or not.
