The Love In Between (Slow Updates)

I Don't Have Anything To Say Do YOU?

I feel like crap, especially lying down here on the floor like this with Mark. Mark stays in his position not moving. I mean if someone was watching you and your mate kissing wouldn't guys stop, get up and ask what the person was doing?

But at least I know me and Mark feel the same way about each other. Suddenly I remember about our kiss, damn he was a good kisser. Way past good....I turn my head and remember Jake was there. I had forgotten all about him.

"Bravo," Jake said clapping his hands and taking a step into the room. He looks right into my eyes. His look wasn't the same. "so you may have made the first move and gotten her." his voice cracked. "But that doesn't mean I'm giving up." he glares at Mark. Then they both look at me.

Mark's hand on my waist tightened and he tensed up, I could feel it. I finally realized what Jake meant saying 'not giving up' but that's his fault I chose Mark. The mood in the room was so tense. I suddenly think of an excuse.

"Exactly where am I?" I asked raising an eyebrow. I mean the room was gorgeous and all but I want to go home and see my brothers. They would so freak out.

"Your room," Mark says. I again forgot how close he was and I blush. He leaned in closer to my face, which of course made me blush like a little girl. "Mine is right next door if you need anything." he whispered in a husky voice.

My eyes widened, wow I wasn't expecting that. He started laughing after he saw my reaction. "Ouch." Mark winced. 'What happened?' I thought.

Oh, Jake kicked his foot. That must of hurt. Mark got up off of me and quickly kicked him back. It was actually funny watching them. They weren't fighting in a violent way. They just looked like 2 sisters fighting over an outfit. But then I realized that....

The outfit was me.

"Why me?" I whisper, but unfortunately they both heard me. They both let go of each other and stand there frozen. Did they hear me clearly. Then standing there nervous I realize how looking at them looks like a man looking at himself in the mirror. Now I just had to choose and I didn't know which was the better one.

"Uh, so," I start. What was I gonna say? 'Oh did you guys hear what I just said?' It would make everything so awkward. "I um, need a drink, sorry." I turn around and open the door. I just hope I get myself lost in their house so they won't find me.

I quickly shut the door hoping they just keep on fighting- Wait! Thats my room there fighting in! I quickly open the door again.

"Just so you know if you guys want to fight over me go do it in one of your rooms!" I hiss. They both stand there frozen yet again. I wonder where's all my stuff? I leave the door open and gesture my hand to make them leave.

Jake obeys but scoffs at the same time. Hey at least the jerk is leaving. Mark stands there crossing his arms like he's my dad- my dad.

I walk inside closer to him and mimic him, crossing my arms I lean to the side like some model. "So you're planning on staying are you." I ask.

He opens his mouth but without thinking I put my finger to his lips and shush him. That'll make him smile.

"Please, I need alone time right now." I practically begged. I tugged at his shirt. He nodded and walked away.

"Nice comeback." he whispered low enough so I could hear him. He turns his head and looks at me. I smile and mouth the word thanks.

He shuts the door and there he went, gone. I was finally alone, even though I told them to leave, I didn't want to be alone. I look around the room and spot a phone. I could just call Juliet. But she's probably having fun on her trip. God, now I'm definitely bored.

I think I should just explore this weird house and get myself really lost. I open the door a little bit to see of any of them are still in the hallway. Good, its clear. I walk out of my new room and into the hallway. Dang, even this hallway was gorgeous. I wonder what the other rooms looked like.

Wait, Mark's room is right next to mine. I want to see it, I take a step forward. But he's probably in there, I take a step back. -Squeak-

Oh my god! Someone is coming out of his room. I hide behind a wall, at least I was small enough to hide. I lean down and look. Mark and Jake were coming out and boy did they look busy.

Jake was heading this way, but to his room but Mark was heading the opposite way. 'Oh who cares, just go see his room!' A voice inside of me said.

Once the hallway was clear I tiptoe to Mark's room. I've got to admit, I never acted like this before. I slowly turn the knob but then I froze. What happens if he has posters of girls or something? Or what happens if I learn he's a stalker or something?

What am I thinking?! He's just a frickin' guy that I like!

I turn the knob and open the door-
"Holy crap!" I whisper. His room was the neatest one I've ever seen. The best part was that it smelled like flowers. I'm gonna search this room like a detective-

Suddenly the door opened behind me.
My eyes widened to see who it was.

"Mark?" the woman said. Her eyes landed on me. "Oh sorry Celeste, we haven't officially met. I'm Mark and Jake's mother. Forgive me to ask but why are you in here?" she asked. This was his mom. Wow, she is so nice, she didn't seem to have a temper at all and I can see where Mark gets his green eyes from.

I realize that I haven't answered her yet. I cough and straighten my back. "I'm just waiting for Mark to come back." I try not to cough or anything and speak in my sweetest voice. This was harder then it sounds.

She chuckles. "Celeste, just act like yourself, honey. I'll let you wait here." she had a nice warm smile.

I laugh and look at her. "I will thank you." I slouch my back. "You're nicer than I expected." I say, she did say to act like myself.

"Honesty, I like that." she said leaving. She swayed her red dress and left. I quickly start searching by looking in a shelf-

Don't worry it's not his clothes shelf, that's on side of the room- and I only know that because everything is labeled. I bet you're thinking 'Stalker much?'

I look inside and find a bunch of postcards, necklaces and a ring box- Holy crap! Is he married or something? Something inside of me burned. I was jealous, could he really be?

Then I move it aside, it wasn't my business. But then I found something that was my business. My necklace from a year ago where me and Jake first met.

Why does Mark have it. I lift up the necklace. I walked around staring at the necklace. The pink gift box was still shiny on the necklace. Then it hit me.

"It wasn't Jake but Mark?" I asked. This had messed up everything then. Nothing made sense to me now. Now that I know that it wasn't Jake, that means I actually fell in love with Mark first.

"Well done, you finally figured it out." someone clapped behind me. I turn around with tears in my eyes. It was Mark and he was smiling. "Now I don't have anything to say, do you?" he said walking closer. I didn't move.

I stood there, I was completely shocked. Mark wrapped his arms around me and we stood there hugging like that.
