Healed By his Love

Ch 16

When Mark heard the doorbell his eyes snapped open "who the heck could that be?" Mark said to himself as he slowly got up off the couch and headed over to the front door. As Mark opened the door he saw a young man holding a box "umm hi sir this of for you" the young man said handing over the box as he tried his best to hold in his laugh. When Mark saw the man holding in his laugh confusing started to take over "umm thanks" Mark replied closing the door as he placed the box down on the floor, after a few moments of thinking Mark's eyes widen "no she didn't" Mark said to himself as he rushes to the Mirror.

And sure enough there's drawings on the side of his face "Macey!" Mark yelled as he looked back at the couch to see the little girl is nowhere in sight. When Mark saw that she probably ran and hid he lets out a sigh "Macey come here please" Mark replied pinching the bridge of his nose. After a few moments Macey slowly walked from underneath the couch "I'm sorry, it's just a joke" Macey said looking up at at the massive man in fear, "is it washable marker?" Mark asked as he slowly laid on the hard wooden floor.

"Yeah it's washable" Macey replied as she looked down at her feet so she wouldn't have to look at him, "come here little one" Mark said in a gentle voice causing Macey to nod. As Macey walking over to him Mark pulled her into a firm but gentle hug "was that your payback?" Mark asked as he felt the tiny child snuggling into his neck, "yeah it was" Macey giggles as she looks up at the giant man with a sparkle in her eyes. "So sweetie what do you want to do today?" Mark asked as he slowly stands up with her cupped close to him, "can we go to the park?" Macey asked looking up at him with a hopeful smile. "Sure, but before we go I have to wash this marker off" Mark replied looking down at her with a smile, "ok master" Macey replied as she leans against his chest.
