Sorry I didn't update yesterday, but here is a bit of Mark and Lexie fluff for you. I know, it's not too good. I am not good at the mushy stuff, but I tried my best! So enjoy :)



Mark had literally dragged Lexie into the bedroom and slammed the door.

"I am so sorry Lexie. My mother…well she is my mother and she is trying to scare you away. I love you just the way you are. You're perfect."

Lexie let out a little laugh. She crawled into Mark's lap and put her finger under his chin, lifting his head so his eyes were level with hers. "Look, you don't have to have to tell me all this romantic stuff to make me realize how much you love me. I am not going anywhere."

Lexie leaned down to give Mark a kiss. Slow, sweet, and long enough to leave them breathless, the kiss was filled with their desire, understanding, and thankfulness of each other. "Mmm…that was nice," Lexie said leaning in for another one.

This time Mark stopped Lexie. "Lex, my mother," Mark paused and took a deep breath, "She's vicious. Whatever she wants she will get. She thinks money can buy anything. When I was younger, she used to hire to someone to secretly follow me around. Although she wasn't really there, she wanted to know I wasn't screwing up her "good" name. When, I found out I was furious. I dug around and found some blackmail about the guy, so he would leave. When he left, I got all of his files. He sent my mother everything about me. What I bought, where I went, who I saw, even what times I was going to the bathroom. She's a psycho and I know she wants something from me. I just don't know what and I am not going to stand around while she verbally abuses you. I need to protect you from her. I don't want to lose you."

Lexie looked up at Mark. He looked so vulnerable and for once he was the one wearing all his emotions on his sleeve. "Mark," she said, "Look at me. Nothing is going to scare me away. Not even you psycho mother! I mean I have a father who is a drunk and a step sister who doesn't even acknowledge my existence! I know that she's hurt you in the past, but I think she's come here with good intentions. Besides, when did you go all soft? Where's that tough, haughty guy I fell in love with?" Lexie said with a laugh a playful tap on the shoulder.

"Hey! I am not soft," Mark said defensively, "I simply love you too much to lose you."

"Softy," Lexie said exaggerating the last part of the word, "It's okay though because I love this new Mark even more than the old one."

Mark lips curved into his signature smirk. "New Mark can do some things old Mark can't…" Mark said leaning closer to Lexie.

"Oh…oh yeah. L..like what?" she said stuttering due to the closeness of his proximity.

"Like this…" And with that, Mark leaned and captured the lips he had been dreaming about all day in a passionate kiss.

"Old Mark would have done this too," Lexie said on a shallow breath, against his lips.

"But he would have never done it with this much passion. Now shut up."

There was no turning back now. They were lost to the darkness of the night; the darkness that hides all.

The sunlight streamed in through the window, the birds chirped, and Lexie was asleep on his chest. Her auburn hair was fanned out and even when she snorted a little in her sleep, she was still as gorgeous as ever. Everything was perfect.

"MARKKKKK!!!!" Mrs. Sloan let out a blood curling shriek.

"What the…" Lexie said suddenly jolting up.

His mother always did ruin everything. "I bet now you regret defending her," Mark said pulling on a shirt, "Go back to bed. I'll take care of it." He leaned down to give her kiss. However, in Mark and Lexie's bedroom, there could never be an innocent kiss.

"Mark, we have to stop," Lexie complained. Yet, she refused to pull away.

"Why? Nobody is going to see us…"

Suddenly, his mother burst through the door. "I brought breakfast!" she said in a sing-song voice. "Oh! I am interrupting something here?" The Sloan smirk was upon her face.

Lexie jumped up and wrapped the sheets around her. Oh, god this is so embarrassing.

"Mom, what are you doing here? Why did you scream?" Mark said through his teeth, running a hang through his hair.

"Oh, it was just a way of announcing my arrival. Now, who wants pancakes?"

Mark felt like banging his head continuously on the wall. Lexie managed to slip away and get some clothes on. Mrs. Sloan was blabbering on about pancakes and lemon tea.

Yes, it would be a very long day indeed.


Yes, it is time so say good bye! REVIEWS PLEASE!!! THANKS FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE SO FAR!!!!! Adieu~Twitterpatted
