Mark's Decision

After Callie dominated Mark in UNO she decided to dominate him in bed. When they finished she felt disappointed, it was not the same as the many times before. As she laid close to him, he did not do much more than lay there and stare at the ceiling. This disturbed Callie, usually Mark would hold her and she could feel the tenderness and love from him. But tonight, was different, it was like the feelings she got when she was with one of her one-time flings. She did not understand she was here with him instead of one of the others, that only wanted a quick piece of her. In an attempt, to get some type of reaction she gave him a little poke. But all he did was smile slightly then went back to his musing. She knew what he was thinking about, back when he first discovered that she was having sex with other men she had not really paid much attention. Now she remembered seeing the hurt and heartbreak on his face and the disappointment in his voice. She had learned later that after he went to the Men's Club, he had gone to his office stepped into the closet and cried for almost an hour. That bothered her, to think he cried over what she could not help herself from doing.

Now she believed that eventually he would go back to being his normal forgiving nature, though she did worry that perhaps he had finally come to his breaking point. She had done so many things that hurt him deeply perhaps he has come to a point where he could not forgive her. She worried that perhaps he could not forgive her and want to just be like all the others. Having uncaring unfeeling sex with her. This caused her to wonder if she needed to convince him in some way how important he is to her. As she drifted off her phone started to beep.

All night Mark could hear the beeps, he had heard the beeps when he was having sex with Callie. Now as he attempted to sleep he heard the beeps even when the phone did not beep. Sometime in the night Mark carefully moved off the bed making sure he did not disturb Callie. Sitting on a nearby chair he looked at her. She is so beautiful, Mark thought as he watched her sleep. Then he began to think and during that time he had to decide, a decision that he really did not want to make but he knew he had to.

A couple of hours after Mark had moved Callie noticed that he was gone. Waking up she looked over and saw him sitting on a chair somewhat looking at her. She saw his eyes were red, puffy and bloodshot. Getting up she went and knelt in front of him. He only gave her a slight smile and could not really look at her.

"What's wrong?" Callie asked as he frowned and closed his eyes trying not to let her see that he was at the point of crying again.

"I had time to really think last night, I don't think we should be together anymore." As Mark said that her phone beeped and he grimaced. Callie noticed and was confused. "I can't do this, knowing that you are having sex with other men even though you say it is meaningless. The very thought makes me ill. So, it is best that we no longer be together."

Callie took his hands in hers and glared up at him. "You said you fell for me the way I am, that you don't want me to change."

"I know, it isn't you it is me. I love you deeply and care for you, but I believe that eventually the thought of you with others would cause me to begin not to be in love with you." Mark swallowed holding back tears. "I can't do that to you."

At that moment Callie realized that Mark truly did love her and that he was worried that if he fell out of love with her it would hurt her not him. "I can't lose you, you are the only good thing in my life." Callie said quietly as she too heard her phone beep.

"I do not know what to do, I know you cannot change from being who you are. But at the same time, I cannot accept that I am nothing to you other than someone that you say is the only good thing in your life." Mark was about to stand but Callie stood and sat on his lap at the same time she picked up her phone and crushed it. Throwing the remains into a trash can.

"I will not lose you, not because of my demon side. To prove how much I need you in my life, I will change and be only with you. I may have to have it but I only want it from you." Callie saw him almost glow with happiness. As she kissed him she felt the same tenderness and love that he gave her before he found out that she was having sex with others. Standing she pulled him back to bed where Mark was just as tender and loving. Callie felt her heart melt as they had sex, she decided at that moment that she needed Mark's love more than having sex with numerous others. It may be very difficult for her to change, but she would just to prove to Mark that she did love him and only him. Smiling contently Callie snuggled up to Mark after sex and he held her tightly and she knew she made the right decision.

In the morning, she used Marks phone for two reasons, to call in that both she and Mark were not going to work today and to cancel her account that the other men used to inquire about having sex with her. Crawling back into bed she held him tightly, she smiled happily realizing that she liked the physical connection of holding him as much as she liked having sex. Closing her eyes, she bathed in the fact that he loved her. As she slowly dozed off she whispered very quietly "I love you Mark." Knowing that he probably had heard her, but she did not care not anymore.
