Unexpected

Pleasant Surprise

Marks POV

Day two of the convention and no matter how many people I met and interacted with, there was still only one person on my mind. I didn't know what it was about her, everything. I barely knew the girl, hell I didn't even know her name. But one thing I did know, was that I wanted to see her again.....I just didn't know how. 

The day was going slowly, I couldn't wait for it to be over, my heart wasn't in it today. It was just after lunch and I couldn't shake the feeling I was being watched. I glanced around and couldn't see anyone, then I did a double take, she was here. She didn't look as glamorous as the day before, but just as beautiful. I smiled and her lip twitched in response. I noticed her turn to walk away as I hugged a fan, it took everything in me not to run after her, but there was no way I would get away with such a public display. My heart sunk but I was determined to find her when I had a minute. Just as I was wracking my brains to find an excuse to get away, she appeared in front of me. Again she looked nervous, I couldn't stop the smile from spreading across my face.

"Hello sweetheart" I greeted her and her smile mirrored my own.

"Mr Sheppard" she replied coyly, hearing her call me that sent a shiver down my spine and my mind went into overdrive again. I swallowed hard before replying,

"You know you can call me Mark" I offered

"Maybe once I know you" she replied smirking, behind the shyness she was sassy and fiery and I loved it. 

"I still don't know your name" I stated,

"I know" she replied biting her lip, playing hard to get and it was working.

"So what brings you back here?" I asked, hoping I already knew the answer,

"I got an offer that I've really struggled to resist" she confessed fidgeting nervously. I wanted to ask where her boyfriend was but I knew better than to ask about him at a time like this. 

"Is that so" I smirked "and what offer might that have been"

"I think you know full well what I'm talking about" she whispered, clearly scared that I had forgotten or too embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Well then I'd better deliver" I whispered and winked at her, she blushed and looked at the floor, drawing a circle with her foot. "But not here" I told her. She looked at me confused, I wasn't letting her drive all this way to get a kiss that could be shared in public. 

"Okay" she replied still seeming slightly confused but accepting what I said. 

"Once this queue clears, follow me" I told her, my heart was pounding, I was so excited to get her alone. She bit her lip and smiled before returning to the position she had watched me from earlier. 

I didn't rush through the queue because that wouldn't be fair, but I was as quick as I could be. As soon as I got to the end of the queue, I stood and told my manager I had to make a phone call in the green room, she offered to escort me but I assured her I would be fine. 

I nodded at her as I left the table, hoping she wouldn't bottle it and still intended on following me. I wasn't really heading to the greenroom, it was too popular, we'd get caught for sure. I remebered from the day before that there was an empty room just down the corridor. I knew she was following from the way the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end with nerves. 

Once I reached the door, I opened it with a shaky hand and perched on a table in the middle of the room, heart pounding, I managed to take a deep breath to calm myself a little as the door opened again. She stepped in, closed the door behind her and leaned against it. I could tell by the way her chest moved that she was breathing heavily too. 

"I still can't believe you came back" I admitted, voice quiet showing my nerves,

"Neither can I" she laughed nervously, playing with her fingers as she stepped towards me. I placed my hands over her when she was within reach and she looked up at me, capturing my eyes with her own. 

"Why are you so nervous?" I asked, 

"I don't know" she blushed "I don't really know what's happening here" 

"You're getting what you came for" I whispered as tugged her towards me slightly, moving my hands to her hips as her frame collided with mine. She caught her breath and couldn't look at me. I used one hand to tilt her chin up, her gaze meeting mine, our lips almost touching, the way her breath fanned my face drove me insane. I leaned in slightly and she leaned back, she did this a couple of times and then smirked. She was teasing me, I bit my lip and chuckled as I spun her around and trapped her between my body and the table. She gasped and swallowed hard, her hands clinging to my biceps. I licked my lips and slowly leaned in, she was meeting me half way this time when my phone began to ring. I groaned and looked to the sky, 

"Leave it" she whispered, running a hand down my chest, my body reached to her every touch, I wanted so badly to do what she said but I instinctively pulled my phone from my pocket. The sight of the caller ID made me feel sick, she saw it too and dropped her hands to her side, I took a step back.

"Your wife" she whispered and I could tell she felt ashamed "what are we doing?" and she ran her hands through her hair, pulling a few strands loose from her pony tail, how I longed to do that. I let the phone ring off and placed it on the table.

"I should go" she sighed and tried to push past me. 

"Wait" I called grabbing her wrist, 

"Mr Sheppard please" she pleaded with me, I closed my eyes at her words, the thoughts running through my head totally inappropriate for that moment. 

"Don't go" I replied pulling her back to face me. 

"I don't know what this is" she whispered "but I can't do it" this time I let her walk,

"Just tell me one thing" I called as she reached the door, she glanced over her shoulder at me, "Your name?"

"Y/N" she smiled

"Goodbye Y/N" I smiled

"Goodbye Mark" she replied biting her lip before hurrying out into the corridor. 

I knew what I should feel after my wife had interrupted us, but the only thing I felt any kind of guilt or regret for was not kissing Y/N.
