He loves me, I think.

*3 months later*

Mark hasn't layed a finger on me ever since he promised he wouldn't. I feel so much better and safer, in a way.

We've been dating 3 months, of course, and everything is perfect. Except the fact that many girls have tried to take him away, but don't worry he never even paid any attention to those girls. He always kisses me whenever a girl is looking at him.

"Babe?" His deep voice startled my thoughts.

"Yeah I'm here." I answered back still kinda not there.

"What are you thinking that's got you all pulled in?"

"I was-" He quickly cut me off.

"Don't tell me I know... Me!" He winked at me and I just laughed at his goofiness.

"How did you know!? Can you read minds!?" I just continued to laugh.

We were currently on our way to the mall and later to the movies. I have gone out with him a lot lately.

He pulled into the parking lot and found a spot to park.

"Alright babe let's go shopping!" He said it in a high pitched girly voice. He waved his hands around his hips and then flipped his imaginary long hair.

"Yes girl!" I mimicked him and we both burst out in laughter.

After a couple minutes of laughing we finally got out and headed towards the humongous mall. We stepped in and Mark pulled my hand and took me to a teddy bear workshop.

"Oh my! I'm getting a teddy bear!?" I was jumping up and down from the excitement.

"Yes babe you are. Let's go and make one for you." He lightly kissed my forehead before I ripped out of his arms and went to get started on my teddy bear.

"Thanks babe. I love this so much." I hugged my new teddy bear as we walked out.

"Your welcome cutie. Now where to now?"

"Now let's go and get you something." I held tightly into his hand as I led him to a popular men's store.

"Jasmine, I want to spoil you not me." He whined as we stood in front of the store filled with tons of guys. He pulled us away and walked into a makeup store.

"Babe I know nothing of makeup. Just a little eye liner or mascara." I laughed as he was picking up a eye shadow pallet and waving at me.

"Come on girly, we can learn together." He pouted and set his hand on his hip.

"Is there anything I can help you out with?" Mark and I turned at the same time as one of the workers stood in front of us. She looked at me then turned her attention towards Mark and immediately flashed a smile. I laughed a bit which made her look at me. She gave a dirty look and I just smiled at her.

"No, I think we are good." I said to her.

"Alright but tell me if you need anything." She purred as she said it to Mark.

"Thanks." I snapped at her. She turned and gave me once more a dirty look before walking off.

"So you getting anything cutie?" I shook my head.

"No thanks baby. I'm good. This bear is good enough." I smiled at him.

"Oh no baby, I will buy you anything and everything. I have money so don't worry about the price."

"But-"

"No buts. Just move your behind to the stores and pick up anything you like."

"Fine." He wins, he always wins.

"Good now chop chop." He laughed as he pushed me around to get going.

We spent the whole day going through almost all the stores. He has bought me so much that I feel so guilty for. I told him almost every time that I'm good and that he doesn't have to buy it but he just goes against me and buys it.

"Babe how much have you spent in total?" I asked him this like a million times.

"Cutie don't worry about the money. I told you I have plenty of it."

"Okay fine, but I will pay you back in small amounts." I said as I was struggling with some bags on my arms.

"No you will not Jasmine. You will be my wife so my money is your money." My jaw dropped.

"But I feel so guilty Mark."

"Why? You will soon live like this so get used to it." I was now even more shocked.

I didn't say anything back. We set the bags in the trunk of his car. I'm surprised the trunk could even close with the mountains of bags in there.

"Now let's go out to eat." He opened the car door for me.

"Thanks." I got in and put my seatbelt on.

"Your welcome beautiful." He leaned down and kissed me. I smiled and he now closed the door and went around to get in.

"So where we eating?" He smirked but didn't answer. I felt his hand move onto my thigh. We soon got to a fancy looking restaurant and I am so glad for wearing a pretty dress.

"I love you Jasmine." I turned to him. "You are my world. I will never let you go baby."

"I love you too Mark."

We got out and went in. Turns out Mark had already reserved a spot for just us two. That is so romantic of him. We settled in and ordered.

"Wow Mark, it's beautiful here." Mesmerized by the twinkling lights.

"As are you." I blushed.

The waiter soon came back with our food. We ate in silence, but it wasn't a awkward silence.

"You eat a lot for a petite girl." He laughed.

"Yeah I know." I was still stuffing my face with food.

After awhile of talking a young boy came in to give the check.

"Was everything good?" I looked him and he sure was a cute one.

"Yes, everything was perfect. Thank you." I said to him as he collected some plates and left.

"What was that?" I looked up to Mark confused.

"What was what?"

"Don't play stupid Jasmine."  He looked at me and I was still very confused.

"What are you talking about?" I looked at him and furrowed my eyebrows.

"I saw how you looked at him." He crossed his arms over his chest.

"What? Who?.... The waiter!? Oh my gosh! No! I was just being nice. You are thinking wrong Mark." He is crazy.

My head snapped hard to the left. I brought my hand up to my stinging cheek. I gasped at what just happened, he hit me.

"Mark!?" I choked out. "Why?!"

"Shut up Jasmine." He grabbed my arm harshly and pulled me up. He paid and soon we were out heading towards his car.

"This is your fault Jasmine." He pushed me in. He got in and turned on the car.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

"Just wait Jasmine. Just wait."
