Runaway 2

Chapter 3

(6:26pm. Cat and mouse games and some sex)

"Let's bake some cookies!", Mark's mom forces us to get up from the couch. Somehow, the cuddling annoyed her, I'd understand because she was never a part of it.

"Why you don't you and dad do it?", Mark asks. "Or ask Michelle to help you"

Michelle was Mark's sister, she was tolerate-able.. At times. I did some times have times where I wanted to push her off a cliff but I held myself together. To be honest, I feel like Mark was the only one that turned out not so soar and bitchy in his family. He was most down to earth, his family is to far up let's say.. Money's ass. It's because they have been blessed or been wealthy since like forever.

"I mean I would ask your dad but he's not as fun you guys", she whines.

"Mom, Audrey's in bad shape, she can't even stand on her two feet, I think she needs to rest and.. I'll give her company", he picks me up and throws me over his shoulder, patting my bum and I giggle. He takes me to his room and waves his mom goodbye as she stands there with her hands on her hips. She shakes her head and then forces Michelle to help her.

Mark throws me on the bed, gently. He gets on top of me and I hold his face in my hands and giggle. He kisses me but I couldn't help laughing and I don't even know why. He laughs with me too. He then touches my nose.

"Your nose is so cute", he says. Then he bites it playfully and I let out a cackle and he starts trying to bite my face playfully. I try to push him off but he doesn't even budge. A knock plants on the door.

"Who is it?", his deep voice shouts, as he moves off me and lays beside me. The door opens and Michelle stands there, like annoyed teenagers do when they're forced to do something.

"Mom wants you in the kitchen, she wants to speak to you", she says, with a dead look on her face. He pecks my lips.

"I'll be back", he says, as he gets off the bed and scurries out of the room.

6:58pm.

Mark walks in ten minutes later with a frown on his face. He walks to the toilet first and I hear him groan inside, then I hear him bang his fist onto something.

"Babe?", I yell. "Are yo okay in there?"

The door opens and he comes and plops down beside me.

"My mom was talking to me how about the whole family is coming over, my aunts and uncles and I know you're not okay with it.."

"No no no it's fine", I assure him.

"I mean Audrey, I know, you don't need to deny it", he says. "My mom knows it too"

"Knows what?"

"She says you're not a family person, you like to exclude yourself from company and its really unhealthy", he tells me. Inside, hearing this made me feel really bad and my stomach turned upside down.

"Why would she say that?", I ask. This bitch is testing my patience.

"I don't know, all she said is, she wants us to stay here but at the same time, she doesn't want negativity", Mark says, running his hand through his hair.

"What are you trying to say Mark?", I ask, in seriousness.

"Look..", he hesitates. He gets up and leans on the wall as he bites his lip.

"Just say it Mark.. It's better out than in"

"She doesn't want you here.. ", he finally says. "But she's not kicking you out! So don't take it like that, she won't let you leave unless you try to create a good relationship with her and my family"
