Fated To Love You [COMPLETE]

Chapter 63- The Girl In The Window

The flight was around 11 hours long, from Seoul to LA. Mark spent most of it sleeping, greatful that he was now at a stage in his life where he could afford to pay for a business class seat and was able to sleep peacefuly with lots of leg room. However, anytime he wasn't sleeping, he would be watching a movie on the interactive screen infront of him.

When the plane finally landed and he came out through security, he saw crowds of fans screaming Mark's name, flashing cameras.

How do they always seem to know where I am? He thinks.

He then spots his Dad, holding up a sign for him with his name on it.

He sighs heavily, then pulls his cap further down and walks towards his dad, trying hard to ignore the swarm of fans, as they followed every step he took, shoving their cameras and phones in his face and asking him questions.

"Dear son. How have you been? It's great to have you back home. We missed you" Raymond Tuan said as he embraced his son in a tight hold.

"I missed you too and I'm fine. I'm tired Dad. Can we leave from here?" Mark gently pushes out of his father's embrace. "Also next time, lose the name sign?" He gave a tight smile.

"Ahh. Yeah. I didn't think.." Raymond scratched the back of his head awkwardly. He then looked to the fans.

An idea came to Raymond's head, it would distract the fans long enough for them to escape.

"Hey! Who wants this!?" He waved the sign.

The fans all screamed and put their hands up in the air.

Raymond threw the sign chuckling and then grabbed Mark's suitcase for him and the two ran off, out the airport and to the car park where his car was parked.

Raymond opened up the boot of the car, about to put the luggage bag in, when Mark exclaimed "Oh My Gosh! I haven't seen Riley in forever!"

He picked Riley out the boot and hugged her to him, eyes tight close, his cheek resting against it. A huge smile spread across his face.

He then opened his eyes and ran his hand across the length of it.

"I knew it was a good idea to bring her along. You can take her for a ride later this evening, like you always use to, when you were a kido." Raymond chuckled as he placed Mark's luggage in and closed the boot.

Mark put Riley down onto the concrete floor and stepped onto it with his left foot and kicked his right foot off the ground to give him a push, riding down the length of his fathers SUV, then coming to a quick stop by the front of the car.

He picked Riley up. "You're a bit rusty girl, but a quick clean and tightening of the screws, you'll be smooth as before, I can't wait to ride you!" He smiled happily as he tucked her under his arm and then went to place it in the back seat. He took off his rucksack from his shoulders, placing that beside Riley on the seat.

He strocked her one last time and then took the front passengers seat to sit in.

YES! Mark named his skateboard Riley.

It takes around about an hour to get to the Tuan family home. Mark gets out the car finally, stretching his arms, cracking his back. He then looks up at his house.

Home.. I missed you too. I wonder if my bedroom is the way I left it?

He looked to his bedroom window, which was on the side of the house, facing the house beside it.

"We made sure to keep your room the way it was when you left it. Thought you'd like that. The only thing that's changed is the bedsheets. Thought you might appreciate not having the spider man prints and instead something a bit more calming" Ramond chuckled, as he took the suitcase out the boot.

Mark walked to the back seats "Why? Spider man is still cool!" He smiled and took out his backpack and Riley.

After closing the car door shut, Mark's eyes fell upon the house next to his, as someone caught his eyes. He notices a girl looking through the window down at him.

She's wearing a grey monochromatic outfit and her hair is straight; blonde with highlights.

His eyes then fall upon her face. Her light brown eyebrows slightly furrowed, her dark brown eyes look down at him with curiosity, with a slight tilt of her head.

Mark smiles up at her, as he's also curious to know who she was.  The last time he remembered, an old italian couple was their next door neighbour.

Maybe that's their grand daughter visiting or something?

He then see's a cute smile spread across the girl's lips, as her hand comes up to place on the window infront of her.

A couple of seconds passes, as they continue to look at eachother, when suddenly, Mark feels a hand on his shoulder.

"Come'n. Why are you waiting here for? Let's get inside. Your mother is dieing to see you. Hurry Hurry" Mark's father caught his attention as he ushered his son to start walking.

Mark looked back at the window, where the girl had been standing, but she was no longer there.

"S-Sorry, I just thought... I saw something." Mark mumbled as he dropped his gaze, shaking his head.

I must have just been seeing things. Yes it has to be the jet lag.
