Bound to you

Chapter Eleven.

Third person's pov

Clara quickly rushed after Nadia. She felt guilty for making her admit that she has a crush on John in front of everyone. She went to the room where Nadia was and she found her face down on the bed.

"Nadia,  please forgive me. I didn't mean to put you in a tight spot.  Please don't be mad at me. I just thought that maybe John felt the same and he would admit to it after you say you like him. I'm sorry please you are very important to me. Please forgive me..." She was cut off by Nadia's giggles.

"It's okay Clara I'm not mad at you. Okay. I just didn't want him to find out like that. I mean what if he rejects me. But then I guess there's no turning back. Let's just wait and see how he reacts. Okay?" Nadia said

Both girls just hoped that things wouldn't fall apart. They showered and got ready for bed. Just as they were about to fall asleep Mark came.

Mark and John sat in silence. Just staring at each other. None of them had expected what had just happened.
"I don't even know what to say" John said.

"So what I'm getting is that you don't like her in the way she likes you?"

"What? No...i mean yes. Okay look I like her too. A lot but you know how my last relationship ended. I don't want to end up with a broken heart again. I guess I'm just scared."

"Look I understand where you're coming from. But you can't hide your feelings forever because of it. If you do you will only hurt yourself And Nadia. And besides Nadia is not your ex so how do you know that she'll hurt you? Come on, just give her a chance. Or you might regret not having done so for the rest of your life.

"Maybe you're right. Thanks bro. I'll talk to her tomorrow"

"Not tomorrow, right now. Come on. You can do this. Okay?"

"okay I'll go right now."

"I'll send Nadia to you I'm going to bed. Goodnight bro. "

"Goodnight"

Mark made his way to the guest room where he found Nadia and Clara about to go to bed. He told Nadia that John wanted to talk to her. She excused herself and went down to talk to John.

Mark went to Clara and scooped her up in his arms.

"What are you doing? "Clara asked as she let out a gasp from the sudden movements .

"I'm taking you to our room "

"Our room? "

"Yeah. We've been over this. What's mine is yours. And you are mine. Plus after last night I can't sleep without you. So let's go.

"Why do you always say I'm yours?

"Because you are mine. Simple."

"But I'm not some property that you own. I'm a girl "

"I don't mean it like in a negative way. I mean you are my girl"
At this Clara blushed and hid her face in his chest making him chuckle.

"But I'm not your girlfriend yet "

"love you became my girlfriend the moment you went on a date with me"

"But you didn't even ask me "Clara said pouting.

"Oh love don't pout. Do you want me to ask you? He asked putting her down on the bed.

"Yes"she answered looking down.

"Well then Clara Hausa would you please be my girlfriend? "

"Yes I would love to be your girlfriend. "

"Now that that is settled. Give me a kiss "

"W..... What?"Clara stuttered.

"A kiss. Right.... here. "he pointed to his lips.

"But....."

"come on. You know you want to. It's not that hard love just do it. Please. "

"Okay"

Clara moved closer and leaned in. She stood on her toes but that still wasn't enough. He was so tall he towered over her.

"You are so tall I can't even reach you. " She complained.
Mark chuckled then lowered his head. She reached up again and attached her lips to his.
This time the kiss was different. It was slow. Each of them savoring the taste of the other. It was simply beautiful. His arms were wrapped around her waist tightly keeping her as close as possible.

They broke apart after a few seconds. Clara went to bed while Mark went to freshen up. He soon joined her and they slept in each others arms.
