The Teachers Assistant

chapter 12 part 3

We both sat there in silence as we waited for Drake to come. Eventually Mark ending up changing into so many different people to entertain me I almost forgot what his fake self looked like. we were actually having a pretty good time goofing off with each other while we waited. honestly I was having so much fun I couldn't remember the last time I laughed this hard. eventually he told me he had run out of people to impersonate so he just sat down next to me taking my hand in his.

"so have you thought of any more names for baby boy?" he asks placing his huge hand on my belly.

I sigh and place my hand on top of his.

"no, he will be the one who will not be named, because we have no name for him." I say smiling.

He looks at me then lifts my shirt up to place his hand on my bare belly. luckily the few stretch marks I did get were only on the sides of my stomach not the front. I mean I wasn't happy to get any but as long as they didn't appear all over I was OK.

"I like putting my hand like this on your skin because I always get a much better picture of baby. especially if I just close my eyes I can just see him in there wiggling around. like right now he is sucking his foot and has another hand in the air just chilling. its amazing to see. especially right now he's so tiny yet so strong. I just enjoy watching him grow so rapidly inside of you. "Mark tells me.

I smile and lean my head against Marks shoulder.

"I love you. I mean I honestly am glad I met you. I don't know what I would of done marrying Drake.  I mean he's great and all but he never melted my heart like you did. plus you never cheated on me like he did. imagine me marrying a man that cheated on me?" I say shaking my head.

"Eve there really is something I should tell you. im pretty sure your gonna hate me for this." he says scooting back still holding my hand in his.he looks at me his eyes the darkest blue.

I sit there silently. all I'm thinking is that he cheated on me and he was finally going to tell me. Or that he didn't love me and was leaving me. ugh I need to trust my brothers more. I'm almost in tears just thinking about what he is going to say.

"I ugh, wow this is not how I planned to tell you... I ugh... I love you." he says.

"that's it?," I say in monotone.

he chuckles then half smiles at me.

"no I mean yeah but that wasn't it. what I'm trying to say is I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I've lived almost a hundred years and I've been with mannnnny women,"

"that is not helping the situation buddy." I say raising an eyebrow.

"anyways Ive been with mannny women.."

"OK I get it half the world has been with my boyfriend enough already." I blurt out.

"just shush and let me finish. I've been with a lot of women and I've loved many also but they never were  quite like you. your different like you have a spark in you that none of the others did. you understand me and I couldn't picture myself being with another women. Eve I don't just love you I want to spend all the rest of my years on earth with you." he says.

"wow I honestly have no reply for that. like what movie did you get that from?" I reply giggling.

"haha titanic and twilight." he says smiling.

"really." I say with an eyebrow raised.

"haha no I totally just came up with that but the point I was trying to make was if I ask you to marry me will you say yes?" he asks.
