It Started with A Painting

Chapter 10

They look at the coffee board; Mark looks at Alex said "I will pay for a drink beside it better than any crazy party," Alex smiles with a hint of blush in her checks says, "Ok, just Chai latte also, your right this much better," as she headed away from him to find a table for two them.

Mark waited ten minutes for coffee to start thinking they could have an everyday dating life. Then soon, the coffee was ready, so he placed lids on them and took them over to Alex.

, Afterward, he placed the coffee on the table and sat across from Alex. Mark turned off the phone for now and said, "I'm sorry that been a dick at Josh's party" Alex took a sip of her latte replied , "It's fine besides, we all make mistakes,"

Mark feels like his chest was lifted from Alex being so understanding, so he moves his hand across the table to her hand, but Alex's friend shows up out of the blue.

Chole and Steve pull up a chair at the table and say, "so this is Mark" Chloe bites her lips, turns back to Alex, and says, "you got so lucky" Alex turns red in her face.

Steve felt terrible that they had been rude on their date and said, "Chloe let Alex leave her date," They put the chairs back and slowly walked away from them. Alex looked up at Mark, still with a pinky-brushing face and said, "sorry about that; Steve and Chloe are some time pain ass but good friends" Mark smiled and said, " It's all good besides. I think you like me," as they laugh together from that joke.

Then after finishing their coffee, they decided to continue walking down the street together. Mark started walking beside her and finally got a hold of her hand. They walk for hours in the city, not knowing the time, but Mark stops to see the paparazzi start running toward them. Mark pulled Alex into the alleyway, trying to find a way from the paparazzi, but Alex pulled out her sunglasses and said 'here, put them on, follow m" as he placed them on, he started following her down the alleyway.

Then Alex looked both ways to check if it was clear and said, "we are here," as Mark took off the sunglasses to see a beautiful beast before him. Alex sat down on the golden sand with her shoes. Mark sat beside her and said, "wow, as he took his shoes.

"Yeah, it only places me feel like with my dad,'' Alex said with her head on his shoulder. Mark looked at Alex placing his hand on her neck and slowly moved toward her lips. Mark's phone was ringing crazily in his jacket. Their lips were closer to the touch.

After he grabbed his phone out of the jacket, answered it, and heard, "where the hell is you!" Angle was sitting at a table with an empty glass. Mark looked around him and replied, "beach, why," Angle threw an empty glass at the wall and said, " my fuck album party that drops at midnight," as she hung up on the phone.

Mark put his shoes back, looked at Alex, and said, "I enjoy this but need to go before I'm fucked death, " Alex followed him back to his car.

Alex got in the car, started the engine, and tapped the window. Mark rolled down the window, and she said, "you do anything on Thursday night', Mark smiled at her and said yeah, sure, I will text you later," as he drove off to Angle's album party.

Cameron was more surprised to see Alex with Mark than everyone but felt terrible about what would happen next for her. Cameron sent an email to his boss with a picture of them walking together and other images of them looking like a couple for the magazine.
