Thanks for all the great reviews.


Rayne answered the questions the man threw at her. She didn't mind as it was for the business and it gave her a chance to look at him up close. She realised his eyes was the main attraction of his body. They were emerald green, piercing they would cloud over at different points.

"Relationship status?" Mark asked gruffly then heard snickers from Shawn and Paul who had just came in."C'mon I'll take you over to the diner it's quieter" Mark said glaring at Shawn and Paul. They were about to go when Paul called Mark back, making hims pin around.
"What?" He growled, his eyes flashing a warning.
"You may want this.." Paul said throwing a shirt at Mark before bursting into hysterics.
Rayne watched, she had never seen employers and other employees get on so playfully. The offices she had seen were all bitches to each other. Mark pulled on the shirt and they walked next door to the diner. She couldn't help but like being with this guy alone but at the same time she felt intimidated by him.

"Do you want a drink?" She asked him.
"It's ok I'll get it" Mark said hunting in his back pocket, knowing upperclass women liked men paying for them all the time.
"No it's on me, your the one here working afterall" She protested then ordered two sodas.
Mark was a little shocked but didn't think anymore of it. Instead he thanked her before reading questions of the piece of paper.
"Where were we, yeah relationship status?"
"No why would you need to know that if it's about your shop?" Rayne asked with a raised eyebrow and a smirk. All of a sudden Mark felt himself becoming warm from the neck up, he wasn't blushing. Mark didn't blush. Rayne watched him go a bit red in the face with amusement as he coughed. Mark swore that question wasn't on there before, all sheets were pre copied last month. He looked at the bottom of the paper and realised it had been printed only 20 minutes ago. He growled knowing this was Shawn's handiwork.
"I'm gonna move on" Mark said clearing his throat " What did you think of the staff?"
"Well I didn't get served exactly, so you being the only one I've spoken too your very nice" Rayne said sipping at her drink.

After a few more questions they had finished. Rayne stood up as well as Mark and shook his hand.
"Thank you Rayne"
"Pleasure.."
"Mark"
"Mark. Thanks" She said as they walked outside. "Oh by the way Mark"
"Hm?" He asked turning around. Rayne glanced at her mother walking this way in anger and quickly turned around facing him.
"Single" She said with a smirk before walking off.

Mark went back into the store and threw the paper at Shawn.
"Hope yer damn happy" He growled to the laughing pair.
"You needed a push Mark" Paul said with a wink "So date..?"
"I don't date customers or women of that standard" He said sitting down, stretching out his legs.
"What she has none?" Paul asked
"No, she has high standards. She'd be expecting gifts and expensive stuff n that. I can barely afford myself"
"Well you need to get out there Mark. She's better than that $6 a week hooker you had before" Shawn said. Paul nodded "She bled you dry". Mark thought of Emily, always wanting money to go out on sprees every week. Always away on business. Business that was doing the same thing to two other men. Takin their money.
"So will any untouchable stuff like that woman" Mark said
"She seemed decent" Paul said
"Emily seemed decent" Shawn corrected. "Just gotta hold on big man"
Glen walked in with his bag flung over his shoulder, glancing up at the clock on the wall.
"Where you going?" Shawn asked
"Picking Roxy up"
"She not ruined your life yet?" Mark asked to which Glen narrowed his eyes.
"Roxy is perfect Mark. She ain't like no other woman out there. She isn't after me for my money"
"Taking her anywhere special?" Paul asked
"Little restaurant up by my place. Rose moon" Glen said sitting down.
Oh yeah" Paul said remembering the time him and Steph went up for a meal there.

Rayne sat at home, recalling the events that happened earlier. All she could picture was Mark's embarassment and chuckled. All of a sudden an idea came into her head. She ran over to her computer almost tripping over the rug and started tapping away.
Her mother had gave her the hardest time seeing her come out of the disgraceful diner. Her mom had influenced her way too much over the years. She liked downtown Chicago, she certainly liked the Harley she was looking at too.
She was even considering getting lessons then maybe buying it.

Mark sat in the garage the next day waiting for hios next job to come in. A old Yamaha had been torn apart at the seams and he had the job of putting it back together. He sighed, he was bore dof just waiting around, he walked into his and Glen's small office. It was almost a box.
Glen was sat there reading a book to himself, this was usual for Mark to see him reading but what scared him was Glen was reading a woman's book.
"What?" Glen asked after being eyeballed by Mark.
"Your reading a woman's book" Mark said sounding astonished.
"Yeah I know. It's good one of the best I've read in fact"
Mark double taked to make sure he wasn't imagining this.

"You should read it"

Mark sat down, cracking open a can of cola and gave a hearty laugh.
"Your jokin right?"
"No it's good. About a girl who is looked down upon by her parents, she grows into a female detective who sleeps with men to get answers out of them for different crimes. No lovy shit involved"
"Roxy give you this?" Mark asked to which Glen nodded.
"Rayne Finch" Glen mentioned. Mark frowned name sounded familiar, it was that woman from yesterday. Hell it was the only Rayne he knew. So maybe she wasn't as upperclass as she seemed. He knew snotty people disapproved of writers, so maybe she was rebelling against it.
"I met her yesterday. She's nice"
"You did?" Glen asked to which he got Mark's approval "Roxy is gonna be jealous"
"Got one helluva body. All curvy, hips to make your mouth water know what I'm sayin?" Mark mentioned
"You paid a lot of detail" Glen mentioned.
"No I didn't!" Mark was quick to deny.
