Teresa's P.O.V

i got in my car. not really knowing where i was going. how could she have known?  how did she find out!? without thinking i started to drive towards Marks house. "what am i doing?" i mumble to myself. 

i should be happy that i'm marring Roman. i had a crush on him since i was a teenager. but why do i feel this pain in my heart. why does it hurt so much? the day me and Mark got together was just a drunken mistake. 

but we kept doing it, we kept calling each other, going into each others house's. i don't know why but we couldn't get enough of each other. we needed each other. i'm no dummy. i see the way Roman looks at Rachel

And i know he will never look at me like that...but the one who did was mark. i pull into a parking in front of Marks building. fighting with myself weather i should go inside or not. 

Father want's this wedding to happen, he want's the 2 families to unite. At 1st i loved the fact that me and Roman would get married. i even made father make a contract so we can make it official. 

But than i met mark and oh God he made my toes curl. i took a deep breath and got out the car. holding my breath while i rang his bell. "who is it? " he said in a husky voice. i let out the breath i was holding and said with a smile.

"it's me Mark, i need to talk to you" there was silence. i bite my bottom lip. Maybe he's not gonna open it. he doesn't want to talk to me. i turn on my heel to leave but then i hear the door ding. telling me its unlocked.  

i smile brightly and opened it, quickly speeding to Marks door. his door was already open, he was leaning against. the sight of him took my breath away. he was wearing a white tank top and black sweat pants. "what do you want?" he say's softly.    

i sigh and take a step closer to him. "i miss you Mark" he sighs and looks down at his feet. i put my hand on his chest. "please Mark, please hear me out" he looks back at me and moves away from the door so i can walk in.

"thank you" i mumble. i walk towards his couch. sitting down on it slowly. "i'm listening" he says while standing in front of me with his arms crossed over his chest. i take a deep breath and let it all out. 

"i shouldn't have chosen Roman over you, i know he will never love me the way you do, i was just scared of us and my father and what he will do to you if he found out, i couldn't admit it to myself that i really care for you and have these strong feelings for you...

i'm gonna call off the wedding, and i will tell him about me and you and i will make sure he understands and that he doesn't hurt you" i grab his hand locking them with mine. "Mark please, give me a chance to make this better"

he smiles at me. "so are you saying you love me?" i chuckle and take my hands away from his "is that what you got from that speech?" he chuckles and grabs my hand pulling me up from the couch. 

"you love me?" he asks. i smile and nod "yes Mark, i love you" his smile became bigger and he grabs my waist pulling me closer to him. "i love you too" i smile and kiss him on the lips. 

----

"so how are we gonna do this?" Mark asks. we were on the floor wrapped in his blanket. we just finished doing you know what. i sigh and bring the blanket closer to my chest. 

"well 1st i have to talk to my father and tell him i want the wedding called off...and Second i tell him about me and you and third i plan our funeral" he chuckles and kisses my forehead. 
"do you wanna go now?" he asks. 

i give him a 'are you crazy' look. "i'm naked right now" i say while slapping his chest. he rolls his eyes playfully. "i mean after we get dressed and stuff, do you wanna go and tell him?" 

i sigh and sit up. "you really wanna do this today?" i ask, he nods and sit's up "i don't want to spend another minute of me and you not being together" 

i smile and peck his lips. "fine we go today" he claps his hands and stands up. "okay lets go take a shower and then we can go" i sigh and stand up as well. "only if you join me" i whisper while dragging him with me.

he growls and walks us faster to the bathroom while i'm laughing behind him.

----

i lean my hand on my fathers assistant's desk. "i'm here to see my father is he busy?" i say to her. she shakes her head. i hold Marks hand while we walk to his office. i can feel Mark shaking and plus his hands were getting sweaty.

i stop in front of his door to look at Mark. "Mark it's gonna be okay, i won't let nothing happen to you" he sighs and nods. i open the door. "hi daddy" i say while smiling. "hello princess" he smiles back but his smile fades when he see's mark behind me.

"Mr. Russo, what are you doing here with my daughter?" i sigh and walk towards him. "daddy i have to tell you something" he brings his attention to me looking at me suspiciously. "what is it?" 

i take a deep breath "i want the wedding to be called off" he squints his eyes at me "why?" i take another deep breath "because me and Mark are in love" i see my fathers eye change to anger. "what!? " he starts to walk towards Mark but i go in front of him.

"daddy please! i love him! i don't want to marry Roman, Mark is the man i want!" he points at Mark "you've been screwing around with MY daughter! you brain washed her! i know your ways Russo!" 

i shake my head "daddy no, he didn't brain wash me into anything! i love him and he loves me." i look at Marks face "right?" i ask, still a little unsure. Mark nods and steps forward behind me. "Yes Mr. Scott, i love your daughter and i want to spend the rest of my life with her" 

father chuckles "oh please what can you offer her that Roman Knight can't?! you have no money, your family isn't special or from a important business! you're nothing! i'm the one who pays you! i'm the one reason why you're not out in the streets!" 

Mark nods "i know that sir but Roman Knight can't give your daughter what she needs the most and that is love" he points at me. "he doesn't love her but i do, i would move mountains for your daughter sir. And all do respect sir, Teresa can make her own decisions,

she's 28 she doesn't need your permission" i see my fathers jaw clench. he points his index finger at Mark "you can make her happy?" he asks. Mark immediately nods "i can sir and i will" 

Father looks at me "is this what you want princess? you want to be with him?" i nod "more than anything" Mark smiles at me. Father sighs and puts his hand on his hips "well i got a wedding to cancel."
