Mark My Words

Chapter 24

As the plane takes off into the air, you begin to get scared. Mark notices and grabs your hand, squeezing it lightly.

"Don't worry, babe. The flights only like an hour long." Mark says.

You nod and let go of his hand to get your laptop. Since your mom paid for wifi on the plane, you and Mark can watch Netflix.

More than halfway through the movie you and Mark were watching, the pilots voice came on the loud speaker.

"Attention ladies and gentlemen, we will be landing shortly so please turn off any electronic device with you. Thank you for flying with Southwest Airlines." The pilot announced.

You turned off your computer while Mark turned off both of your phones. Since you had the window seat, you decided to look outside.

You were amazed at the site. (Picture at top) It was so beautiful. You quickly got your camera out of your carry-on and snapped a picture.

"Nice picture babe" Mark said making you jump. You hadn't realized he was looking over your shoulder while you were taking the picture.

"Thanks, I've always thought of being a photographer, you know. " you said.

"Really? That's awesome!" Mark said and you laughed.

"Yeah. I especially like taking pictures of nature. It's so beautiful" you said as you looked out the window again.

"It truly is."

You and Mark were now getting off of the plane and heading towards baggage claim.

After about 15 minutes of waiting for your bag, you finally see it and immediately grab it.

"Finally" you mumble as you push the button to extend the handle on your luggage.

Since it was only you and Mark in Pennsylvania, you had to take a cab. Your mom had given you money to spend before you boarded the plane.

As Mark attempted and failed many times to get a cab, you turned your phone on. You saw that Mark had tagged you in a picture on Instagram.

It was a picture of you taking a picture of the view from the airplane. The caption said;

"She thought the view was pretty, but I thought she was prettier❤️"

You felt the tears forming in your eyes. You put your phone in your pocket and jumped into Mark's arms. He was shocked at first, but quickly hugged you back.

"I love you"

"I love you more"

"Mark, I don't think it's possible for you to love me more"

"Fine, you win" he smirked.

He leaned in and so did you. His soft lips crashed into yours, and you loved it. You then realized that you and Mark were kissing in the middle of the sidewalk while the cab Mark had managed to get was waiting.

"Um, we should probably go" you said.

"Yeah, let's go"

After putting in the luggage, Mark opened the cab door for you and held your hand to lead you into it.

After Mark gave the cab driver the address, he whispered in your ear "we'll continue when we get to the hotel" he grinned. You could feel yourself blushing. You lightly hit his arm and said "fine."
