Somethings are Meant to be Saved

7

I'm half asleep but I can feel a soft rub on
my head and then hear "hey...we're here.." I lift my head and rub my eyes. "Mm.." it's all I can say, I'm so tired. He opens his door and gets out of the car, closing the door. Then goes to my side and opens the door, he unbuckles me and then pulls me into his arms. I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck, resting my head on his shoulder. I close my eyes and then hear the sound of barking...Daisy? I open my eyes and see Madi, Mark's dog. Second best thing.

Mark puts me on the couch, I pull my knees to my chest and look at the coffee table. "I'm going to get you some water" water sounds delicious yet disgusting at the same time.
He comes back with a bottle of water "take sips, don't chug it" I slowly nod trying not to fall asleep. I take the bottle of water and open it "what happened?" He says while he sits down and looks at me. I take a sip of the water and then close it and put it on the glass coffee table. "What do you mean?" I look at him, he takes a deep breath. "You don't usually drink, we've done it a couple times but you never drink on your own. What made you do that? And why wasn't Luke there?" His questions float in my brain for a little and then I put them together. I lean back into the couch and release a breath. "Luke and I broke up, I found out he was cheating on me with this girl, Jennifer. I saw her texting him saying 'let's meet up tonight when she leaves' and when I confronted him about it, he didn't lie. He admitted he had been cheating. And he said that I wasn't good enough for him." And other things but definitely not talking about that right now. I look down at my hands and then look up at him, he looks so angry right now.
"Hey, it's not your fault he's an ass" he looks so good right now, what if Luke is right. What if I like him? Flynn seems to think I always want to kiss him. I mean I thought about it a couple times but something about this moment, something about him right now makes me want to know what other girls taste when they kiss him. I want to know what I've never experienced.

I put my hands on his face and then pull
him closer to me, I kiss him. It's fast and needy, he kisses me back and oh my god I think I'm going to explode. I push myself up and put myself over his lap, straddling him. He puts his hands on my waist and I think every nerve in body shoots up. Oh my god this is incredible, never in my life have I felt this before.
He pulls away and it makes me sad, he looks at me "Mazie.. you're drunk.. I don't want you doing something you'll regret later." He's right, I'm drunk, but god that was the best kiss ever. No Mazie, stop. I get off of him and sit back down on the couch. "I'm sorry-I-I don't know why I did that." He looks down at his hands, I'm staring down at the couch "Don't be sorry, I did it too, I just don't- want you doing that when you're drunk. Especially because you just broke up with Luke and-"
I cut him off nodding "I get it, seriously I get it." I don't want to talk about Luke, all I want right now is him, tomorrow I have to get my car and figure out how to fix my necklace. I look at him and he swallows really hard. No no, don't tell me I fucked this up too... I don't care right now, just give me him. I scoot closer to him and put my head on his shoulder.
I close my eyes and steady my breathing, I don't fall asleep though. A little later when he thinks I'm asleep, he kisses my head. My heart gives a flutter and I feel like curling up right now on his lap. "I'm sorry" he says, don't be sorry Mark, please don't be sorry. He leans his head on mine and just like that he puts me straight to sleep.
