Chapter 11 - Mark

Chapter 11

Mark (The first time he met Anya)        

“You sure that’s what you wanna do?” Maycker Marwick asked me again.

“Yeah Mick, I’m sure.” I replied, rolling my eyes at him.

“Just wanna be sure, man!” He said defensively. I just shook my head at him.

“Sir” said one of the assistants. “They’re ready for you.” She said with a smile. Mick nodded at her, she left.

“They got a new assistant?” I asked with a smirk. Mick just glared at me. “What? I liked the old one.” I said, causing him to elbow me.

“Man, she was clingy as shit. Always making those crazy eyes at me…” he trailed off with a shudder. I just laughed at him.

“Well, I have to go. I’ll see you later, yeah?” He nodded and stood up.

“I’ll see you today evening, if we wrap up early.” He shrugged. I nodded and walked away, avoiding the props scattered around.

“Well, where are you on that research?” I asked Beth, my assistant, as I fixed my tie.

“Its underway.” She muttered with a grimace. I laughed, she shot me a dirty look.

“How hard can it be to find a girl?” I mused.

“Harder than you might think.” She muttered again, holding out my coat for me. I slid my arms into it.

“Well, we have only six months left.” I reminded her. She sighed.

“I know, but it’s hard to look for her and at the same time keep this whole thing away from press. If they got even the slightest whiff of what you’re up to, then the outcome would be catastrophic.” I sighed, but nodded in agreement all the same.

“How do I look?” I asked, changing the subject.

“Perfect, we always little bro.” she said, messing my hair up a little bit.

“Hey! Not the hair!” I shouted as I tried to move her hand away. She just laughed at me.

“It’s so boring!” Natasha whined in my ear for the umpteenth time. I held myself from saying something rude. “You wanna go someplace else?” she whispered after a few minutes. Now we’re talking, I thought to myself as I shot her a smile.

“Lead the way.” She giggled and started leading me towards the washrooms. I stopped outside the ladies and slipped the concierge a hundred, and then continued inside. As soon as the door closed behind us, Natasha pushed me to the wall and raised herself to kiss me on the mouth. When I pulled back, she shot me a disgruntled look, but started kissing my neck anyways. I closed my eyes, trying to get in the mood when a gasp resounded in the room. My eyes snapped open.

And, just like that…. The world stood still.

First of all, Maycker is a name and it's pronounced Mai-kar.

Secondly, no, I'm not going to do the whole alternative point of view thing here like DMON, but I might occasionally put in Mark's POV where I think they're necessary.

I know this is a short chapter, and not all that enlightening, but it's been written this way deliberately.

I'll be posting the next chapter soon, so you'll finally know then what I'm trying to say now! I will update Will You Love Me Forever? sometime this week.

Anyways, Merry Christmas people!

Enjoy the holidays, and leave tons of votes and comments!
