Bailamos? | Mark Owen [Take That]

Chapter 25

"You shocked, aren't ya?" Mark laughed nervously.

"Well... I'm--- surprised... I think" I frowned after being paralysed for like thirty seconds.

"Yeh, I can imagine... sorry for coming over like this..."

"Nnnno... it's... okay I guess?" I turned to Liz who once more widened her eyes, making me afraid of even asking Mark why he was there.

"I’m gonna check on dinner" Liz announced and disappeared behind the swinging kitchen doors.

"So..." I said as I sat on one of the ends of the couch, looking at Mark standing by the other end of it "Everything's cool?"

"Yeah... everything's cool..." he nodded "You?"

"Great... cold, but great"

"Sure... it's supposed to be cold in winter right?"

"Then find a detective or summat...!"

"No... cuz they'd surely go to the papers and I don't want that...!"

"And what am I supposed to do?"

"You're supposed to make friends with her and find out if she's cheating on me or not"

"Why don't you just ask her? I mean... she's your girlfriend and you're gonna marry her and---"

"I can't ask her! If I do that she'll tell me she's not seeing anyone else! But I'm sure that she'd tell you..."

"Why's that?"

"Cos you seem to be a reliable person"

"You don't know me Mark... we've just talked a couple of times and---"
