Your P.O.V.:
"Oh hey there. Come on in." I say as I move to the side. As mark gets in and sets the food down, I shut the door then make my way to where he was.
"Hopefully you enjoy the food. I got our food so I was hoping to eat and chat?" He questioned and he scratched the back of his neck.
"Yeah, absolutely. Let me just get the T.V. set up or something to put in the background." I say as I grab the remote for the T.V. and put some music on. I put down the remote and walk over to the couch to sit down. As soon as I sat down, Mark handed my food to me.
"Enjoy" he told me as I flashed a smile.
I open my food and begin to eat my food. There was a moment of silence while we could enjoy our food. Then silence was broken by Mark's voice.
"Hey, so tell me, what have you been up to lately?" He asked me as he covers his mouth to not show his chewed food.
"Well, I still play basketball and soccer. Like in high school. But volleyball and track are trying to get back in the swing of things. But today I got an interview at my dream job. But a challenge to get into." I said as I shovel more food in my mouth.
"Oh really? Do you think you got the job or no?" He asked as sets his food on the coffee table and grabs his drink. I took a deep breath before sharing my answer.
"I- I honestly don't know. They are very strict with who they want on their team... maybe not enough for me." I say as I set my food to the side and grab my drink. I take a sip of my drink then put the drink back in my lap then fiddle with my straw while I ponder about what the outcome can be.
"Hey" Mark started to say as he set his food down on the coffee table and put his hand on my leg. "No need to put doubt on yourself. You will get it. Don't worry." Mark said as I look up at him.
"Ok. I'll put faith in myself. For this." I said as I put my drink back on the table. I grabbed my food so I can finish.
"Good job. Now eat up." He told me as I blushed lightly.
...
Time flies by but Mark and I have finished eating and now we are watching t.v. Mark is on the other side of the couch while I am on the other. I'm not sure why he just stopped talking all the sudden. I really enjoy hearing his voice.
Mark's P.O.V.
I am sitting here looking at (y/n) and let me tell you she is amazing. I used to have a huge crush on her on grades 9-12. I just didn't know how to ask her properly and their not be any drama.
"Hey.. Mark?" She broke the silence and snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Yea? What's up?" I jerked my head towards her and started messing with my hair. She took a deep breath then began to speak.
"Throughout the high school year, I noticed that you have been treated me with high authority. Like if I ever got hurt, you would put them in their place and tell them what you think about it." She told me while looking at the ground. I moved slightly then closer to (y/n). I sat next to her and put my elbows on my knees to listen to her.
"In the middle of 9th grade, I started to catch feelings for you. I didn't want to listen to it until it was true. Towards the end of 9th grade year, I knew my feelings were true when you brought me lunch and gave me little gifts." She continued as she choked up a bit. I sit up and wrap my arm around her and pull her close to me.
"Hey, (y/n) I know how you feel because I feel the same way. And I still do." I said as wrapped my other arm around her. She fell silent in my arms then I felt drops on my arm. She was crying. I dont know from what though. Until I remember what she went through in school those years.
To Be Continued...
