Making her Mark

20 - A Nervy Meeting

While he had his time at home, James had decided he would want to meet Mark. This made Lena nervous. She was trying to avoid this at all costs until the planned night.

Mark was happy to. He supposed it made sense. Don't want to turn up at someone's house, have him fuck your wife without at least meeting him first.

But Mark also thought it would be best for a public meet. Who knows what would be coming. He'd heard James was the jealous type. Before now, he had no reason to be.

Mark and Lena decided the coffee shop they first met in would be a good locale. It was central for them all and tended to be busy enough but not too much.

Mark arrived first again. Ordered 2 lattes and a Americano for James. He began to sip at his, when they both pulled up.

Mark could see the anxiety in Lena's face as she marched in before James. They reached the table and Lena introduced them, "James. Mark. Mark. James." She sat and grabbed her latte.

They shook hands and Mark felt the power of James grip. He was bald, stocky like Mark but more defined. He wore tight t-shirts to show off his physique.

To be fair, Mark thought he'd do the same if he looked like that. He was a good looking guy. Mark didn't have a type in men but he wasn't objecting to this one.

James looked at the drinks. At Lena. And at Mark.

"Oh, I texted ahead to see what you drank Americano right?" Mark was trying to sound as cool as possible.

"Yeah, no. That's good mate thanks. Just there are only 3." James quizzed

Mark looked at Lena with slight panic. Yeah there's 3 of us, he thought.

Lena quick to act said, "She's not gonna be here for a good 20 minutes babe and Lizzy has such an awkward order. I'll text her to make sure she is on her way." She shot Mark a glance of "keep fucking cool."

James hadn't picked up on the panic between them. He just added "you really need to know what your girl has to drink if you want her to stick around."

Mark almost did a spit take. He shot another glance at Lena. So, now what? They were dating. This was new to him.

He shrugged it off, "Yeah you're right but it's fairly new."

"Yeah since Christmas right? Lena told me. That's how this all came about really!"

Mark looked confused and Lena added, "Yeah, we spoke over Christmas and this situation. James mentioned Lizzy. I mentioned you. And then by a quirk of fate you were an item."

"Yeah. Yeah that's right. After Christmas," Mark confirmed, hoping Lizzy knew about this.

They chatted for a few moments longer and Lizzy walked in. Mark had no clue what to expect.

She walked in, hugged and kissed on the cheek, both James and Lena. She came round to Mark and planted him one right on the lips. It was full on and she slipped her tongue in too.

James snorted and said "Jeez guys. It's not happening now. Weeks away yet."

Lizzy stood up straight and looked at Mark. "No drink for me. You forget my order again."

Mark just nodded. He was stunned by the kiss. He looked at Lena and she was waving her phone at him but concealing it from James view. Mark understood. She'd warned her. This was going to be easier now.

The rest of the time went fine. James was more interested in getting his hands on Lizzy while Mark and Lena just kept glancing and smiling at each other.

The plan was coming together. And soon they'd be wax playing together.
