Revenge[√]

Not Guilty

It had been a month since Samantha broke out of prison and we were in court. Mark got out of hospital a week after he was shot and his trial started almost immediately. We were just about to find out if he would be going to jail or not.

'After considering all the evidence, putting in mind that the accused turned himself and his sister in and also referring to the fact that he broke out of jail to stop his sister I have found Mr. Marcus Del Monte not guilty.'

Everyone stood up and cheered and Mark smiled and high fived his lawyer.

'Order! Order in the court!' she (the judge) screamed and started hitting the hammer thing.

The court room fell silent and the press at the back started flashing photos.

The judge who was unusually young and pretty smiled at Mark. The bitch was smiling at my man.

'For breaking out of jail the accused has to serve 3 months doing community service. You're free to go.'

The judge left and the press started interviewing people. I rushed to the front and gave Mark a huge hug before the guards took him away.

...

The next day, I volunteered to pick Mark up from the police station. I was so excited to see him, I almost burst.

I took my car so it didn't take a long time to get there. During the trial I couldn't go visit him because my dad wouldn't allow me. Stupid, I know.

For a whole month I missed our random talks and I started noticing the tiny things he did around the house. For a month, no one played music at high volumes; no one drank all the milk and left the empty cartons in the fridge. I even missed him calling me Nini.

Mom and Dad were happy when they found out that Mark wasn't guilty-they said that hadn't been going to court because they couldn't stand to look at him but I know they were just too hurt to look him in the eye. I hoped they would forgive him soon because it would be awkward at meal-times.

I found Mark, with his headphones back on around his neck, looking for Mom and Dad's car when I pulled up in front of the police station. His hair was clean and he looked almost normal-besides the fact that he had lost a lot of weight. He looked as if the wind would blow him away any moment.

'Hey Mark!' I called out.

He turned and smiled widely at me.

'Nini! You came.'

We hugged and when we broke apart, I suddenly felt awkward. Now that I knew he liked me, it felt...weird somehow.

He didn't seem to notice my awkwardness though.

'Where's everyone else?' he asked, looking around.

'It's only me. I thought I'd surprise you,' I smiled up at him, my arms still around his neck. He was so tall.

Even taller than me and I'm the tallest girl I know.

'Lemme guess, you wanted to see your big brother come out jail, looking like a superhero?' he asked, his long lashes masking his gorgeous eyes.

Why the hell are his lashes so long?

'Not really. I just wanted to tell you something before we got home so I don't have to feel awkward around you.' I said, scrunching up my nose and biting my bottom lip.

'What?' he asked, sounding amused.

Ok let's get this over and done with.

'Remember how you said you love me? Well, I think I kinda also sorta you know...'

God why was this so hard? He chuckled as I prayed for the ground to swallow me up.

'Lemme guess. You kinda, sorta also love me too?'

I punched his shoulder, the one that hadn't shot.

'I didn't say that.' I said stubbornly.

'Oh so you don't?' he asked, smiling widely at me, brows raised.

'Oh you know what I mean.' I said, blushing furiously.

'Yeah I know. You told me that day I was shot. Unfortunately, I was unconscious so I couldn't do what I so desperately wanted to.' He said, his arms pulling my hips closer to his body.

Fuck, too close, too close!

'Wha-what?' I asked, my heart literally doing back flips.

'This.'

He put his hand on my face, pulled me in and kissed me. A deep and crazy hot kiss.

My body erupted into flames as we kissed. His rough hands stroked my hair and back gently yet possessively, just like they did that night on my birthday.

'Fuck.' I whispered when he pulled back.

He grinned and whispered back, 'I know, right?' before kissing me again.
