Two days later, Jeff and Mark were working on Mark's new man look, they were at the barber shop, Mark was getting his hair cut, Jeff was waiting for him in the car. "I want something done to it," Mark said to the barber, "Like what sir," Mark thought for about 30 seconds and told the man, "Work your magic on me." The barber washed his hands and began to picture what type of style would look good for Mark. Jeff was sitting in the car, sleep with the radio down, he woke up and heard a door slam, he woke up in shock and waited for his vision to clear, he saw Marks hair, and he was blown away. Mark had his hair cut into fade, with the top of his hair twisted and curled. "Woah, it looks really really good man," "Thanks, I didn't know what to get, I just told him to work his magic," "Did you tip him?" "Of course I did, I love my new cut." Jeff backed up out of the parking space and drove off, "So what are you going to do now?" "I'm going to get a nice color for my hair and go shopping some more," "Oh okay," "Yeah." They both sat in the car quietly and drove.
Mark went home feeling really really good, then his phone started to ring in his pocket, it was Sasha. Mark picks up the phone, "Hey, Mark," "Hey, Sasha," "Are you free tonight, I've been thinking about you and I think we should hang out more," she said softly and flirty, "Oh, alright, that's no issue, what do you have in mind?" Sasha took a pause and thought about it, "I really don't know, honestly I don't care what it is, I just wanna be with you," Mark smiled and blushed over the phone, he was glad Sasha couldn't see it. "Oh okay, we'll I'll see what we can do and I promise to call you back," "Okay, I'll be waiting," they both said bye to each other and hung up the phone. Mark sat on his couch thinking about how Sasha sounded excited to be with him again, the first night, they really got it in, and he missed it just like she did.
He was dressed, ready for his date with Sasha, fix dinner for them and everything, then he heard a knock at the door, it was his nurse. "Hey Mark, do you have a minute," "Uh, yes, Ms. Clark, come in." Ms. Clark sat on the couch and Mark was getting a weird feeling and questioning why she was here at this time of night in his head, she sat on the couch, "How may i help you?" "Can I call you Mark," "Of course, Ms. Clark," "Good, you can call me Eba," Mark never knew her first name, he always knew her by his nurse. "Now, how can I help you?" "I haven't been getting any calls from you and i came here to check up on you," "Oh, yes yes, I'm fine Ms.--Eba, thank you for you concern,"
"No problem, Mark, it's my job to be concerned of you." Mark still had that weird feeling from her, like a tingly feeling, almost the feelings he had for Sasha when they first met. Mark was looking into her eyes when she said that she will always be concerned of him, he can tell that she met that. "Is that all you wanted, Eba," "Well, not really, there's something else that i want to tell you....but it can wait," "Oh alright, you know you can talk to me about anything, right, Eba?" "Of course, Mark, you have been my patient for a couple of years and i feel like I can trust you," Mark stared at her with surprise and heart eyes.
They both got up from off the couch and Mark helped her out the door, "Alright, Mark, I'll check up on you some other time," "Alright, Eba, thanks for coming by, take care." Eba waved at him and walked away, then looked back at him and waved again, she got in her car and drove off. Mark closed his door and slid down a little bit in amusement, he couldn't believe his own nurse came over unexpectedly, and dressed all night, he wondered where she was going, or who she was looking so good for, Mark tried not to look down at her chest but he's never actually noticed her before. He couldn't think about her too much though, he almost for got about Sasha and their second date.
He called Sasha over and she was there in a minute, even Mark was surprised of how fast she got there, when she got there, they kissed and Marl felt butterflies in his stomach. They both sat down at the table to eat and talk to each other. As soon as Mark knew it, they were both laying on the couch drunk from drink vodika and wine. I think you know what happened after that.
The weekend was over and Mark still kept track of his new life, he went int o the office on Tuesday feeling cocky about himself, he started to work at his desk. "Heyyyy, Markoooo," Jeff popping up at his desk, "Why weren't you here yesterday, I get a little worried?" "Oh, I took off," "Why?" "I wasn't feeling well," That's funny, Sasha wasn't here yesterday neither," Mark didn't say anything, he kept looking down at his key board, typing. "I see that you got the color in your hair, does she like it," Jeff bursts out laughing in tears, Mark laughs a little bit and blushes, "Yes, yes quite well," "Oooooo my boyyy," Jeff shouts hitting his shoulder, laughing some more, Mark smirks and laughs with him. "So, tell me what happened this weekend," Mark laughs, "Can we talk about it when we go on our lunch break," "Okay okay, that's fair, I can do that, I'll catch you later," Jeff says jogging away from his desk.
While Mark was working, he saw Sasha walking to the printer again with a lot of books and papers in her hand. He couldn't stop staring at her and she couldn't stop staring at him, he thought about their last time being together and how much fun it was. When she looked away from him he felt kind of satisfied, it was like they were connected just like they were over the weekend.
It was lunch time, Jeff and Mark headed out the door to their favorite sandwich place, it took a while to get there because of traffic, but when they got there the lines were long too. They were feeling a little weird about everything because usually theirs no traffic coming to their favorite sandwiches and the line is long. They finally got their sandwiches and sat down, Jeff bring up what Mark was suppose to tell him and they were talking for 45 minutes straight without stopping. "Damn, man, all of that sounds like what I've been needing for a long time," "Why you say that?" "Me and my wife are having problems in our marriage and she hasn't been giving me any," "That's tough, have you ever talked to her about it?" "Yeah, she just doesn't wanna argue with me or listen to me about anything I say, so she's been focused on work and I've been sleeping on the couch," "Damn."
Mark and Jeff left the shop and they both were full and a little tipsy, it turned out Jeff had wine in the back of his car, they both got back to the office safely and no one could tell that they were tipsy because their suits were still neat and tight. Mark went back to his work station and there was a package sitting on his desk, he sat down and read the tag on the side of the box, it was from Eba. The box was wrapped and Mark quickly opened it, what Mark pulled out was a writing journal and a small pot of nicely planted flowers. Mark was shook, he could tell that Eba likes him and wants to be with him, when he opened up the journal, there was a little note attached to it. It reads......
Hey, you're probably very surprised
that i sent this without telling you, I
just wanted to show you how much I
am happy for you. My little survivor <3
- Your Loving nurse,
Eba Clark
Mark still couldn't believe what Eba had done for him, Sasha comes to his desk to check up on him, "Hey, Mark, you wanna hook up tonight?" "Uh, yeah sure, we can do that.." Mark said staring at the letter, "What's that you're reading?" Sasha asked, "Oh nothing, just something from my mom," Mark lied, "Oh okay, well, it looks like a nice gift," "Yeah it sure is.." Mark said quietly, "Well, I'll see you tonight," "Alright," Mark says and Sasha waving at him walking away.
Mark kept reading the letter over and over again, the words were lingering in his mind, he only saw Eba as his nurse, nothing more.What about Sasha, he thinks Sasha will never do something like this for him, or wills she, maybe Eba loves him more than Sasha, maybe he feels Sasha right now, but he's starting to feel something for Eba...or is he?
