Daisy's P.O.V
Two months have passed since that faithful Christmas Eve night. When everything was perfect again. Roger was living with Mimi the floor below us and Mark and I were living together. It all seemed perfect. Mimi was more than alive than ever as was Roger. My depression seemed to fade away. The more time I spent with Mark and his friends the more it went away. It was Valentine's Day and all of the couples were off doing our separate things.
I was walking down the street where a light snow was falling. It kissed my cheek softly. I was coming back from the life café. It was dinner of spaghetti and French bread with warm butter. I managed to get a job as a local dance instructor so Mark and I had a little money flowing in now. It wasn't much but it was enough.
I walked up the stairs and opened up into our apartment. Ever since Mimi came back Roger has official moved in with her. So Mark and I had the apartment all to ourselves and a lot of times Mimi or Roger or both would come up to our apartment to hang out. I opened the door and let out a gasp.
"Oh my god Mark" He was wearing my god was he wearing a suit. A bow tie and everything. He was holding a bouquet of roses and the apartment was lit by candles.
"How did you? What are you? Just oh my god!"
"Mo and Jo helped me out a bit getting the roses and fixing my suit up. I thought it would be nice to have a very romantic evening." He gave me the flowers and then offered me his arm. "Now shall we go?" I took his arm and smiled.
"Of course." I held up the bag of food. "I have dinner."
"Spaghetti?"
"Yeah, your favorite." We walked into together and we sat down on the couch. I up the meal in front of us and put the roses in a vase. Mark lit the final candle in the center of the table. He then went to the fridge pulling out two of cheapest beers known to mankind. He handed me one and we both popped of the tops.
"To us?" Mark said holding up the beer.
"To us." I said back. We toasted and begun to eat a wonderful dinner.
"So how was class today?" Mark asked me.
"It was good I'm glad I'm able to help all those kids out. You should come by sometime. I bet they would love to meet you."
Mark let out a choke on the beer he was drinking. "I'm not sure the kids would like me."
"Oh yes they would. Just one visit."
"Fine. One visit." I gave him a kiss on the cheek. I then curled up next to him placing my hand on his chest. He wrapped his arm around me and we sat there on the couch enjoying each other's company. I couldn't believe it has been more than a year since we met. We may had that rough spot but we figured it out. And everything was absolutely perfect.
"Hang on." Mark said. "I have something for you."
"If you bought me something Mark I swear to god we both promised…"
"I didn't but it Daisy. I made it just stay here and close your eyes." I shut my eyes and heard make rush around the apartment. I even heard bump into the leg table like he always does.
"Son of a bitch!" He shouted. I could picture hopping up and down holding onto his foot.
"You okay Markie?"
"Yes I'm fine just keep your eyes shut."
"I am. I am." I sat there for a few more minutes when I heard Mark whisper in my ear.
"Okay open them." My eyes fluttered open, the lights were out and Mark had the camera projector out.
"Mark what…"
"Just hang on." He then turned on his camera. He took a seat next to me and said "Just watch." All of a sudden I was reliving a memory.
It was me when I first met Mark. I didn't realize what a mess I was. Well to be fair I was just beaten so. I heard Mark say on the screen. "Hi are you okay?"
"My power blew and heat is out. Can you light my candle?"
I looked over at Mark. "This…this is the day we first met."
"Keep watching." He said pointing at the film. "There's more." So we sat there watching are entire relationship flash before us. It ended with Mark and I kissing on Christmas day under the mistletoe. When the film ended Mark turned towards me and said. "Happy Valentine's day Daisy."
I could feel the tears coming out my eyes. "Oh god Mark, I can't believe you did this I…" I then pulled him in for a kiss. It lasted pretty long but when we broke away I still hung onto him. "Now I feel terrible because all I got you was this dinner and…"
"Daisy don't say that. You have given me the best present ever."
"And what might that be?" I asked Mark. He then kissed me on the forehead.
"You being here."
"Okay now you are just sucking up for sex." I said giving him a playful shove.
"No I'm not." Mark said being serious. "You being here makes everything so much better. You changed my life Daisy."
"And you changed mine Mark." He then brought me into another kiss were we just melted into each other. He then picked me up and I let out a little squeal as he carried me into our bedroom. He laid me down gently. Everything was so perfect right now. I thought to myself nothing could go wrong now. Mark and I were together. Roger and Mimi were together. Collins was finally feeling better after Angel's death and there has been a rumor going around in our gang that Jo and Mo were going to get married. Everything was absolutely perfect. Nothing could go wrong. I really wish I could go back in time and slap my past self. I had no idea what was coming my way.
