"Mark, I have to go out sooner or later. I can't tell you what to get if I don't know what I want to get myself." she complained looking up at him as she washed the dishes.
"Fee, I'm not taking you out. If Roger finds out I took you out, I'm a dead man. Literally." he told her drying the dishes.
"But he's the one I wanna buy something for. Come on Mark. We'll only be out for a little while. I'll wear a hat and sunglasses if it makes you feel better." she said looking over at him.
"Why don't you wait for Roger to get home? I don't want to be held responsible if anyone sees us." he said looking over at her.
"Mark, come on. I've been stuck in this loft for 2 months. I'm sure Jake forgot all about me." she said looking up at him.
"I don't want to take that chance." he said looking over at her.
"Mark, I'm gonna have to venture out sooner or later. With Roger in a band, he's gonna be performing and I want to be able to see him play." she said turning the water off.
"That's up to Roger. I'm not gonna get in the middle of it." he said walking away from her.
"Getting in the middle of what? Mark, Roger's at band practice. By the time he gets home, we'll be there and back. Come on. Where's your sense of romance?" she asked looking up at him.
"It'll be up my ass if Roger finds out you left the loft and I went with you." he told her sitting on the couch.
"Well Mark, I'm going whether you come with me or not, so if you're not ready by the time I get my stuff on, you're staying here." she said looking over at him as she went to her room. Mark looked up. He knew taking Fiona out was a bad idea, but if he didn't go with her, she would only go anyway. He wished Roger was there. He knew he could make her see that going out was a bad idea. But he wasn't there, so all Mark could do was go with her and make sure she would be safe. "Ready Mark?" she asked putting the NY Mets hat on and a pair of sunglasses.
"You look ridiculous, you know that right?" he asked laughing at her.
"Well at least no one will recognize me." she laughed looking over at him.
"There and back Fee, do you hear me?" he asked looking over at her.
"Yes Mark. There and back." she smiled looking over at him as they left the loft.
"Where the hell have you two been?" Roger asked getting up from the couch as Mark and Fiona entered the loft.
"We went out so I could get you something special. Hi Baby." she smiled walking over to Roger leaning up to kiss him but he pulled away.
"Don't Hi Baby me. I was worried sick about you. What made you think leaving the loft was a good idea?" he asked looking down at her as Mark went to his room.
"I wanted to go out and get you something. What's the harm in that? No one saw us, in case you were worried about that." she said throwing the shopping bag onto the couch.
"Of course I was worried about that. Fee, what if he's still looking for you?" he asked looking down at her.
"He's not. He probably thinks after that guy saw us in the park that I left town. I'm fine, see." she yelled walking away from him.
"How do you know that Fee?" he asked looking over at her.
"Why do you always have to be so over protective all the damn time? Mark came with me and I wore a hat and sunglasses. No one would have known it was me anyway." she asked looking up at him.
"I can't believe I trusted Mark to stay here with you." he said looking over at her.
"Don't blame Mark. I'm 25 years old Roger. I made him take me out. I'm sick and tired of living like this. I want to be able to go out and hang out with my boyfriend and my friends." she yelled looking over at him.
"Fee, it's for your own safety." he said looking over at her.
"Yeah and what about when you start performing? I'm not gonna watch it on film." she said looking over at him.
"We'll see Fee." he said looking over at her.
"No, we won't see. I'm going to whatever club you're playing at and I will be there front row center to cheer you on. And you're not gonna stop me." she yelled running into her room.
"Fee, get back here." he yelled as she slammed her door. "DAMMIT." he yelled as Mark came out of his room.
"Roger, I'm really sorry I took Fee out. I knew it was a bad idea, but you weren't here and she said she was gonna go out anyway, so either I go with her or she'll go alone." Mark said looking over at him.
"I know. I just wish I was here to talk her out of it. She doesn't realize how dangerous it is for her to be out." he said sitting on the couch next to the shopping bag.
"She does realize Roger. It's just really hard for her. I was looking around the whole time and didn't see anyone suspicious if it makes you feel better." he said looking over at him.
"I love her Mark. I don't want anything to happen to her." he said looking over at him.
"I know Roger. She loves you too. She bought you something." he said looking at the bag that was next to him.
"She didn't have to get me anything. All I need is for her to be safe." he said picking the bag up and taking out what was in it. As he opened the box, he squeezed his eyes shut. "Oh man. I'm such an idiot." he said looking down at his hand.
"Roger you just love her. She knows that." he said looking down at him.
"No, she doesn't. I yelled at her really bad. I have to go in and apologize to her." he said taking the box with him. "Fee, Baby. Can I talk to you?" he asked opening the door.
"Go away Roger. I don't want to talk to you right now." she cried without looking up from her pillow.
"Fee, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have freaked out like I did. I was just really scared for you." he said walking over to sit on her bed.
"Roger, all I wanted to do was go out and buy you something nice to show you how much I love you and you yelled at me like I was a child." she yelled looking up at him.
"I know. I'm sorry. It's beautiful Fee. I love it." he said taking the chain out of it's box and looking down at the guitar charm that was on it.
"I've been wanting to get it for you for a while, but I'm not allowed out of the loft. I thought today would be perfect because you were at band practice and we would be there and back before you even knew I was gone, but the jeweler took longer engraving it than I thought." she said sitting up in the bed wiping her eyes.
"It's engraved?" he asked turning it over. "This is amazing Fee." he smiled reading the inscription to himself. It read. "Roger, I love you, Fee."
"Well I do love you Roger." she said folding her legs in front of her.
"I love you too Fee. I just don't want anything to happen to you. I'm sorry I was such a jerk." he said moving closer to her.
"Roger, you've protected me since the first day I got here. I just wanted to do something special for you. You deserve so much more, but more would take a lot longer." she smiled looking up into his green eyes.
"I have all I've ever wanted Fee. I have you." he smiled leaning in to kiss her.
"You'll always have me Roger. I'm not going anywhere." she smiled looking up at him before wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him close to her.
"So no one saw you?" he asked looking down at her.
"Nope. And Mark was looking. He doesn't think I noticed, but he was really obvious." she laughed looking up at him.
"Maybe we could go out tonight. Like to a movie or something." he asked looking down at her.
"Really? You mean it?" she asked looking up at him excitedly.
"Yeah, and how about you leave your Mets hat at home? I can't be seen with one of you in public." he laughed looking down at her.
"God, I hate Yankee fans." she laughed looking up at him.
"At least we're a winning team." he taunted before sticking his tongue out at her.
"That's only because Steinbrenner spoils them like little girls." she laughed as he tackled her to the bed.
"No one talks about my Yankees like that." he called out pinning her to the bed.
"I just did. What are you gonna do? Cry?" she laughed before leaning up to kiss him.
"You are so lucky you're so beautiful. Otherwise, there would be hell to pay." he laughed kissing her again.
"Yeah right, Mr. Fluff Ball." she laughed looking up into his green eyes.
"Only for you Baby. Only for you." he smiled leaning down to kiss her again.
