The new girl nextdoor

chapter 38

Mark's POV

After I showed Tara around the house we were both feeling really tired from the plane ride so we went up to my old room where Thomas and mom had put our suitcases, and laid on the bed next to each other. I woke up about half an hour later with Tara snuggled against my chest I smiled as I looked down at her sleeping face while I stroked her hair the room was so quite that I could hear Tara silently breathing, suddenly their was a light knock on the door and Thomas walked in I put a single finger to my lips telling him to be quite "what is it Thomas?" I whispered to my brother "mom wanted to know what you guys wanted for dinner" he whispered back I shrugged "whatever you and mom want to do" Thomas nodded his head "sorry to wake you" Thomas whispered I shook my head "I was already awake it's fine, but I might try get back to sleep" "alright then. I'll see you guys later" Thomas whispered then walked out of the room silently. I let out a small yawn and rested my chin on top of Taras head before drifting off to sleep.

When I woke up Tara was no sleeping by my side I looked at the time and it was now 3pm I let out a yawn as I stretched "I wonder where Tara is?" I asked myself as I got out of bed. I walked down the hallway of my old childhood house and so many memories flooded into my mind how I've missed this house and my family but I'm happy with the life I have now I walked down the stairs and heard muttering coming from the kitchen as I approached the kitchen I saw the back of my mother and girlfriend with their backs to me they then giggled about something my mother had previously said, I walked up behind them and put an arm around my mother's shoulders and the other around Taras waist "hello ladies" my mother chuckled I inhaled the air "mmm smells delicious! What have you ladies been cooking?" "Roast vegetables with pork and a Caesar salad on the side" my mother answered and Tara still remains silent I glanced at Tara in confusion "had something happened? Has someone upset her?" I asked myself over and over "mark did you just hear what I said?" My mother shook my shoulder breaking my thoughts " sorry I was day dreaming. What did you say?" "Go tell you're brother that dinner is ready" I nodded my head and did as I was told.

Tara's POV

I was helping set the table for dinner along with Shelia "why don't you go wash up my dear" I nodded then I walked off to the nearest bathroom and washed my hands with soapy hot water afterwards I placed both of my hands on either side of the sink and looked into the mirror I breathed heavily as I looked at myself "what's wrong with me? Why do I feel so sick?" I asked myself and splashed water up at my face I heard a sudden knock on the door "Tara!?" I heard Mark's voice on the other "yes?" I called out I heard the door opening and saw mark in the mirror standing at the door behind me "my love?" Mark approached me until he was standing right behind me "what's wrong?" Mark placed him thumb under my chin and turned my gaze to his "nothing I'm just feeling a little ill from the flight" I smiled at him his face still filled with concern I placed a hand on his cheek "Mark. I. Am. Fine." I kissed his chin before taking his hand in mine "they will be waiting for us."
