Is it really worth it at the end???? boyxboy

A new friend.

Marks pov

Kill me now.

This has been the worst dinner ever. I mean don't get me wrong, I have been to a lot of gatherings with my dad but this is by far the worst out of them all. It's just a bunch of rich obnoxious snobs talking about how much money they have and how much more they intend to make.

It all started with the suit--which I hate by the way and then getting into my dad's limo. "Mark you never bring dates with you." he pressures me a lot and I never know how to please him. Sometimes I feel like nothing I do is ever good enough.

I roll my eyes and the conversation continues, he keeps bugging me to get a girlfriend but how can I when all I can think about is Jake. He would have made a perfect girlfriend........no wait that's wrong on so many levels. 

Boyfriend.......yes. He would have made a perfect boyfriend.

I hate seeing Jake all over my sister. At first I used to think I was just being a protective little brother but who the fuck am I kidding my sister is a slut who sleeps around and doesn't give a shit about anyone but herself. I don't even know how she was able to snag someone as amazing as him.

If only Jake would give me a chance. I know I will treat him better than her.

Wait.......what? I cannot be thinking about my sister's boyfriend. I am supposed to be getting him out of my head. He is not mine and he never will be.

"Son.......I would like you to meet Kayla" my dad says to me. We are already at the hotel and I have been staring at my soda for a while now already bored out of my mind. I guess he is just trying to get me to interact with someone my own age. Apart from Sam; I am usually alone.

I look at the girl and I must admit she is beautiful. Too bad I don't feel anything. Her hair is a long red, it makes her look like Ariel from the little mermaid—she looks like a princess with the bright purple dress she has on. Maybe she could get my mind off Jake. This is what I need; someone to keep me busy and distracted from the mess that is in my head.

"hi Kayla" I say to her. She blushes with a smile and my dad leaves us alone with a content look on his face. I know my dad is just trying to help but this isn't the seventies.

It's not gonna work, I am not going to magically fall head over heels in love with her. We are not going to get married and have a million babies, This Is not going to be a where we first met story.

It's not going to happen but I am going to try my best.

"So your dad tells me you are in the football team." Typical of my father to talk about me like his shiny toy on display.

Oops forgot to mention but I'm no quarterback like Jake.

Get this boy out your head.

I look at Kayla and smile "yeah......tell me you find that attractive?" I am flirting. I don't know if she is going to play along but I give her a wink to add a little more effect to this play.

She blushes and takes a sip from her glass "yeah......really hot." I can read the signs from a mile away; she is totally flirting back.

I smile "so what can you tell me about yourself........Kayla" I add with a drawl. I am totally acting like I am interested. I don't mean to lead her on but I need this. I need to focus on something other than my thoughts of Jake.

"Well.....I was forced here by my obnoxious mother but I am kind of glad I came after all" she reaches for me and touches my shoulder softly.

I smirk enjoying this back and forth; something is happening right now and he is not on my mind, so I am going to play along "really?" I drop my glass to the table and grab her hand in mine.
