A/N: Hi, here's chapter 4. I'd like to thank MissPhilippinesSuperStar, Amyvedamarie and cassymae for sticking with me so far and for reviewing the story. So, let's see what happens in the hotel…
Chapter 4
They arrived to the hotel and went up to the 10th floor and to Mark's room.
"I've never spent a night in a hotel before." Angela said. "Are all the rooms this big?" she asked looking around the room impressed.
"Well, some are even bigger." Mark said smiling when he saw she wasn't looking sad anymore.
"Bigger?!" she said in disbelieve and continued: "They must cost a fortune."
Mark sat on the couch and gestured her to come join him.
"Sit down so we can talk." he said.
Angela went to sit next to him on the couch. She kicked off her boots so she could sit Indian style and face Mark.
"So, what do you wanna talk about?" she asked.
"You. And how you ended up being with a jerk like that." Mark said, maybe a little too harshly.
"Johnny's not a jerk." Angela started to defend her boyfriend.
"Well, anyway. Why are you with him even though he treats you like that?" Mark asked truly concerned.
Angela saw in his eyes that he really wanted to know and understand. She had never talked to anybody about her life, except Johnny. But then again, Johnny already knew her and her life story.
"I can see you have a lot of things in your mind and you're dying to let it out. I understand if you don't wanna talk, but Angel sometimes it's better to let it all out." Mark said softly looking deep into her eyes.
"Angel. There it is again." Angela thought to herself. "I guess it won't kill me if I tell him something." she thought.
Angela took a deep breath and started telling her story.
"So, you wanna know why I'm with Johnny. Well, it's basically because he's all I've got." she started.
"What do you mean by that?" Mark asked taking her hand in his.
"Well, my dad left when I was little and my mom's an alcoholic, so I didn't ever have a real family. I used to hang around this garage where these bikers were fixin' their bikes and stuff." she said. "They gave me all kinds of odd jobs there and this one guy, Paul, taught me a lot about bikes. I got my first bike by working at the garage." Angela continued. "I met Johnny there. I was 15 and he was 20 when we met."
Mark frowned when he heard the age difference and Angela saw it.
"Well, we didn't get together until a couple of years later." she explained quickly. "When I was 16, I left home for good. That guy, Paul, said I could stay at his place. He and his then-girlfriend Jackie had an empty bedroom in their house. So I moved in." she paused to look his expression on her story so far. She also needed to pause to get more strength to go on.
Mark nodded a little and the look on his face was telling her to keep going.
She took a deep breath and continued.
"Everything was going great for a while. But then after few months Paul and Jackie broke up and Jackie left. That was bad." Angela started swallowing hard when she thought back those days.
"Hey, are you ok?" Mark asked concerned. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to or if you can't." he said. He didn't want to push her.
"No, you're right. I should tell someone. You just say if you don't wanna hear this." Angela said.
"Please go on." Mark said. He saw she was trying hard to keep up this tough exterior of hers.
"Well, after Jackie left, Paul started paying nightly visits in my bedroom." Angela said and shivered as she remembered what had happened.
Mark's heart sunk and tears of sadness and rage were filling his eyes. He couldn't believe that this man, who had been kind of like a father to Angela, could do that to her.
Angela saw Mark's reaction and she didn't know what to do. Then she thought she'd finish up the story quickly so she could leave.
"So, after a while I moved in with Johnny and we've been together since." she said quickly.
"Oh my God Angel." Mark sighed. "I'm so sorry for what you've been through. And I wanna make sure that you'll never get hurt again, by anyone." he continued with his emerald eyes sparkling with anger.
"It's okay." Angela said. "I can take care of myself." she said and stood up from the couch.
"I know." Mark said. "But I wanna take care of you my Angel."
"Why do you keep calling me that?" Angela asked.
"What? Angel? Because sweetheart, you are an angel." Mark replied with soft voice and looking deep into Angela's eyes.
"I'm much closer to the devil than an angel." Angela said being her 'bikerbitch' self again.
"No. You are an angel. You just don't know it." Mark said and pulled her closer to him looking into her eyes.
Angela felt mesmerized by his gaze. Then Mark kissed her gently. Angela jerked a little and Mark broke the kiss.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yes." Angela said and looked Mark's emerald eyes.
Then he kissed her again. This time more passionately and she opened her mouth allowing his tongue in her mouth. Mark felt how he was getting aroused and he quickly broke the kiss.
"I'm sorry." he said and pulled away from Angela.
"Why?" she asked. "I liked it."
"Oh, you did, huh?" Mark said with a smirk.
"Didn't you?" she asked concerned.
"Oh, I liked it." Mark said. "I just shouldn't have done that." he said and sat back on the couch. He ran his hands through his hair and sighed.
"Why not?" Angela asked, confused about what was going on. She felt weird around Mark. She had never felt like that before and for some reason she just couldn't resist this man.
"It just doesn't feel right, after all you've just told me. I don't want you to think I'm trying to use you." Mark said. "And besides, you have a boyfriend."
Angela stepped closer to Mark and said: "Didn't you just say that I shouldn't be with him?"
"Yeah, but…" Mark started but was cut off when Angela sat on his lap and touched his hair and face and stared in to his eyes. Mark couldn't help but kiss her again passionately. He ran his other hand through her hair and caressed her back with the other. Angela moaned when he kissed her and touched her.
"Oh I really like your touch." Angela said softly.
"Well that's good, 'cause I really like to touch you." Mark said with a smile. "But I'm not gonna do anything to you that you don't want me to." Mark said seriously, gazing into her eyes.
"Well, I wanna feel those soft lips of yours on mine again." she said.
"That I can do." Mark said softly and started kissing her lips.
Then he got up from the couch holding Angela, still kissing her. He started walking towards the bed, Angela wrapped her legs around his waist.
Mark broke the kiss and stood Angela on the floor next to the bed. He was watching her and all he could think of was how much he wanted to make love to her. He felt nervous and something that he hadn't felt for a long time. Then he kissed her again and this time his other hand went under Angela's shirt and touched her breast. She shivered, on both surprise and pleasure.
"Is this okay?" Mark asked looking in Angela's eyes.
"Uh-huh." Angela nodded.
Mark pulled his hand out of Angela's shirt and started to take the shirt off of her. He looked Angela's eyes searching for acceptance. She gave it and Mark slowly took off the shirt. He kissed Angela's neck and went lower and kissed her breasts on top of her bra. Then he unhooked the bra and took it off. He pulled away to see her better. Angela then took off Mark's shirt and scanned through his muscular chest impressed.
"Like what you see?" Mark asked teasingly and Angela nodded biting her lower lip.
"I like what I'm seeing too." Mark said huskily watching Angela's naked upper body.
Angela felt strangely drawn to this man. She had always liked his in-ring skills, but she'd never thought about him this way. Mark looked into Angela's eyes and saw a desire burning deep in them. He then kissed her lips and neck, touching her breasts with his hands. Angela moaned a little for his touch. Angela grabbed Mark's pants by the waist and pulled him in bed with her.
Mark looked at her with a surprise and asked: "Is this okay?"
"Yes, I'm a big girl. I know what I'm doing." Angela said.
Mark was on top of her and he was kissing her stomach and slowly and gently he was going to the edge of her pants. He looked up to Angela to see if it's okay to take of her pants.
Angela nodded.
Mark took her pants off and chuckled a little when he saw what she was wearing under her leather pants. "A Harley girl from top to bottom, huh?" he said with a smirk.
Angela was wearing a Harley-Davidson thong.
"Well, of course." Angela said. "Now, show me yours." she said with a teasing tone.
Mark hesitated a little before taking off his pants. He was very aroused, and all he wanted was to make love to Angela right now. But he couldn't do that. He left his boxers on, but Angela could see his arousal through them. She was getting more aroused herself.
Suddenly Mark stopped and got up from the bed.
"What is it?" Angela asked getting up herself.
"Oh, nothing. I just can't do this." Mark said not looking at her.
"Oh, okay." Angela said and get out of the bed and started gathering her clothes from the floor.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Mark asked when he noticed what she was doing.
"I'm leaving." Angela said bluntly and started putting on her clothes.
"No. Wait a minute." Mark said and went to her.
"I don't want you to leave." he said and took her hands.
"What do you mean? You said you can't do this, so I'll go." Angela said not understanding what was going on.
"What I meant was that I can't do this now, after you told me all that. I don't want you think that I'm trying to use you." Mark said looking deep into her eyes. "And besides, where would you go?" he said with a teasing smirk.
"Well, I'll always find a place." she said. "Like now I'm in a fancy hotel with this great guy." she said smiling.
"A great guy, huh?" Mark said with a smirk.
"Yeah." Angela said and continued: "I'm tired."
"Well, let's get some sleep then. Goodnight." Mark said and gave her a soft kiss.
"Goodnight." Angela said and went to the bed, a bit further from Mark.
"There really is something about this girl. I just wish she'd stop being such a tough guy and open up more." Mark thought to himself.
Mark saw the 'NO FATE' tattoo on Angela's arm and shook his head. "Damn that girl's been through too much shit in her life, I've gotta change all that." he thought.
Finally he fell asleep as well.
