A Second Chance (Jenlisa)

Chapter Six

Jennie's POV

I laid down on the side of the bed attempting to get my breathing under control. I closed my eyes enjoying the high I felt moments ago. Once my breathing was under control I looked to my left and laughed.

"What's that look for?"

"What do you mean what's that look for? You're amazing. Should we go again?"

I laughed at the comment the slapped his chest lightly

"Mark, wasn't that enough for you?"

"Of course, but you're great in bed I can't get enough of you. Especially when the wild side of you comes out" I laughed and hit him on the chest once more. I looked at the clock and then look at him.

"It's late, I need to get some sleep" I looked at him when he didn't get up. "Do you need something sir?"

"Yeah... you" he laugh and then I looked at him with a serious look

"You already know the drill Mark"

"Ouch, you treat me like a booty call"

"That's because you are one". I laughed jokingly and started getting dressed

"When would I see you again? We should have lunch tomorrow, the three of us." I didn't say anything after hearing that comment. I simply finished getting ready. I tossed him his clothes and said.

"We'll see, I'll let you know"

Mark finished getting ready and I walked him to the door. I closed the door behind him and leaned on the door a bit. Mark and I had been really good friends for over a year now. Sounds wrong sleeping around with someone who's just a friend, but we both have needs and what better way to do it with someone who's not expecting anything more than sex.


I had dated guys before Lisa; so being with a guy wasn't something new to me. Lisa was the first and only girl I had ever been with. I knew Mark wanted to be more than friends, but I told him my heart was not available for love. I only had love for my son. Henry was the most important person in the world for me.

After I came to visit New Zealand with Jisoo, I decided that I wanted to stay here and start new. I decided to go back to school and finish getting my Master's in Psychology. I then had Henry and my life changed completely. I was hurting less and less and eventually I told myself that the only person I will love would be my son.

Few months after I would bare to leave Henry with a babysitter, I decided to start working at an actual practice, instead of just working from home.

Mark was a great friend, he was always there for Henry and I, and at first I didn't want him to be around Henry because I didn't know if our friendship would last. But once I knew he was a great friend and wasn't going anywhere, I knew I could trust him with my son.

A couple weeks passed where the routine was the same. Drop Henry at daycare, go to work, pick him up, spend time with him, and invite Mark over.

There was one night where he came over to have dinner and even though I didn't mind having him over, my mind was occupied with something else.

"Say goodnight to Mark baby" I picked him up as he looked at Mark.

"Nigh nigh Mahk" Henry waved at him happily

"Goodnight little guy. You get some sleep, we'll play again tomorrow ok" I smiled seeing how they both interacted. Even though Mark wasn't Henry's dad, he treated him like a son ever since he met him.

"I'll be back in a few" I said to Mark and headed towards Henry's room. After I got him on his pjs y laughed when I saw him grabbing his favorite book from his bookshelf.

"Thish one mama"

"Green eggs and ham, Again?" I laughed seeing how happy he was a grabbed the book. "Alright then, let's read Green eggs and ham" I tucked him in and read him his book. Once he fell asleep I turned off the lights and headed towards the living him where Mark was sitting, I saw next to him.

"Tired?" He said and I simply nodded

"It's been a long day" I looked at him

"I noticed that you were quiet during dinner, everything ok?" I sighed and looked at him again

"I'm getting a promotion" Marked looked at me and smiled but I looked down

"That's great news! Wait why that look though?" I looked at him after a couple seconds of silence

"The promotion is great, but it's in United States"

"Oh wow, I mean that's great. It's a good opportunity. Are you going to take it?"

"I've been thinking about it. I kind of miss New York. I wouldn't mind trying it out there and see how things are"

"Well... you know I'm gonna miss you guys" He said caressing my leg

"I know, we're gonna miss you too. But you know, you can always come visit, you've always said you'd want to visit United States"

"Yeah" I could see a bit of sadness in Mark's eyes. I didn't know what to say to make him feel better so I just simply hugged him.

The following weeks I arranged everything with work to start my new transition. Henry was too little understand about the move. I told him that he we were going to visit her aunt Jisoo who he had met a few times now, he was excited about that.

Mark helped me packed everything and get the necessary things shipped out to New York. I was going to truly miss his friendship and his company, but I knew this move was good for Henry and I.

We arrived at the airport and Marked helped me out with Henry's luggage and mine, we got to the security checkpoint and he look at us.

"Well, this is as far as I can go. I'm gonna miss you guys so much. You take care of mommy little man" He said getting on Henry's level and caressing his hair, he smiled at him and gave him a hug.

"Thank you for everything Mark, I truly appreciate it." He pulled me into a hug when I said that, I hugged him back

"No need to say thank you. Call me when you guys land. I'll ship you the rest of your items in the next few days. You guys take care"

He pulled out of the hug and looked at me. I didn't have time to react when I felt his lips pressing on mine. I didn't know what to do so I just simply reciprocated his kiss. Seconds later I pulled away and gave him a small smile.

After saying goodbye one more time, this time without kisses. Henry and I headed towards the waiting lounge. After waiting a short period, we boarded our plane. I couldn't help to start to feel a bit anxious; I was excited to go back to the US.

I missed the food, the many different places, and my friends. At the same time I was sad because I knew I would miss New Zealand and the many friends I had made through these four years.

But I was more anxious when that one person came back into my mind.
