We pulled back and smiled. We just stared into each other's eyes for a few minutes before he hopped down. Then he turned and helped me like a gentleman. We walked hand in hand to his car. Once I locked my seatbelt, I turned to find his face inches from mine.
"I really enjoyed-"
But before he could finish I leaned forward a plopped a peck on his lips.
"Me too"
He smiled to himself and started the car. We had a quiet way home just holding hands while he drove. When we arrived he walked me to my apartment door. I fiddled with my keys hoping he would say something.
"So, (y/n) I was wondering if......um..."
"What is it Mark?" I asked smiling.
"What kind of hair conditioner do you use?" He stuttered.
"Um I use ...Destined Hair Care...?"
"No I mean...um...would you love to go on another date with me?"
"I thought you would ask! I mean, yeah I would."
He blushed and reached his arms out a little bit. I walked two steps towards him and hugged him. As soon as I hugged him I felt something I haven't felt for a long time. I felt safe. We released each other and shared one last goodnight kiss. Once we both came back for air, we were both pushed aside by a worried version of Derek with roses banging on the door.
"Go away Derek!" Anna yelled through the the door. Derek, fusteratedly combed his hand through his hair.
Mark and I looked at each other, then Derek, then each other. Mark turned and started walking but before he got into the elevator I realized I still had his coat. I ran towards the elevator and put my foot in just before it closed.
"Mark you forgot you jacket" I said taking it off and pushing it towards him.
"(Y/n) keep it. It's how I know we'll see each other again."
I blushed and stepped back watch the elevator block me from Mark. I sighed and went to deal with the task at hand. Derek.
