Chapter 6

A/N: I got re-inspired to restart this fic. It was left in a good place so it will be easy to do. You know the drill! No Sole propping. If anything, Starr and Cole are only there to prop Langston and Markko. Preview: Langston and Markko are happily in love. Langston's life seems perfect. Her adoption is final, she has an amazing boyfriend, and even found out she has a blood relative in Lola. But, will everything stay that way for long?

Langston was once again running late for school. She had stayed up too late last night. Markko was supposed to leave by ten, but she just wound up sneaking him back in the house like she usually did. She stood in front of the mirror, fixing her hair thinking about how great things are right now. She and Markko had been doing great lately. They had managed to make it through months now of being intimate with each other. She was so concerned about that at first, after everything that Starr and Cole had been through. But, it's like Markko said, they could never be that stupid. She thought back to last night after they took Lola home from the Plain White T's concert.

Markko walked Langston in the house and she looked around. "I wonder where Dorian went." He wrapped his arms around her.

"If you'd rather spend time with Dorian, I can just go find Lola and hang out with her again."

She scowled at him, "What have I told you about joking around about that?" He kissed her.

"You know I'm just kidding, right?" She smiled at him and leaned back in his arms.

"I don't know, Markko. I didn't see you most of the night. You and Lola seemed pretty tight, tonight." He faced her towards him and smiled at her.

"Is that a twinge of jealousy I see?" He smiled at her. "It so is and you know it."

She pulled him into a deep, passionate kiss. "Hey, I have nothing to be jealous about. Even if she does have childish crush on you, I know you would rather be here in my arms than anywhere else."

He pulled her closer to him. "Am I that transparent?"

"I just know you better than anyone else does." She pulled her cell phone out of her pocket when Dorian walked in.

"Markko, it is late and a school night. Go home."

"Hey, Doctor Lord, how are you?"

"I am fine. We'll see you tomorrow."

She headed upstairs to her room. "Yeah, she is right. You better get home." She pulled him into a passionate kiss, and whispered in his ear. "Meet me at my window in fifteen minutes."

He said loud enough to be convincing. "I'll see you tomorrow morning before our annoying science teacher's class. I love you."

"I love you too." He smiled at her and walked out of La Boulaie. She smiled to herself and went upstairs. She got stopped by Starr in the hall. It is not that she did not feel bad for Starr with everyone going on with Cole, but she had barely seen Markko that whole night, and she felt like she needed to spend time with him. She finally managed to make it to her room, and locked the door. She ran to the window when she realized it had been twenty minutes already and opened it to see Markko shivering. "Babe, I am so sorry. Get in here." He shivered more.

"What took you so long?"

"I got stopped by Starr in the hallway. She's freaking out."

"About what?"

"Don't ask! I just want this night to be about us. I've spent enough time caring about this tonight. I just want to be with you."

"I am still cold."

She smiled at him. "Do you want me to warm you up?"

"I could be persuaded." She pulled him into a passionate kiss and pushed him back on the bed and kissed down his neck and pulled his shirt off. "Isn't the point of warming me up to keep more clothes on me?"

"Markko, shut up." They undressed each other and made passionate love, like they had so many nights before over the last few months. He smiled at her and moved her hair away from her face.

"I love you so much, Langston."

"I love you, too. This was a great idea."

"The best. You're still on the pill, right?"

"Of course I am, I would never forget that. It is still so weird that the clinic just gave them to me without Dorian even knowing."

"I am not complaining."

"Me neither. It makes things much simpler. Markko, I'm falling asleep. It is so late already."

"Yeah, I know. It's already almost 3:30. I really should get home.

"Do you have to?"

"Yeah, my mom would freak out if she found out. You're worth the risk." He got dressed again and grabbed her some pajamas out of where he knew she kept them.

"Markko, I'm too tired to move."

"Is it worth Dorian finding out our secret?"

She groaned and put them on. "Happy?" He gave her one last kiss.

"Only with you." She smiled and rolled over and closed her eyes. She did not even remember the sound of the window closing.

Langston snapped back into the present and finished getting ready for school. Thinking about last night just made her want to see Markko more. She finished curling her hair, made sure to take her birth control pill, and went downstairs.

--

Markko woke up really late. He was exhausted when he got home the night before and had forgotten to set his alarm. He made it to school and smiled when he saw her with Starr as he walked over to his locker. She made her way over to him and kissed him. "Hi, I missed you."

"I missed you too, so much. I hate sleeping alone."

"I hate it too. I wish we could be together all the time." He put his arms around her and noticed what looked like Cole and Starr arguing.

"What's that about?"

"I wish I could tell you. Let's just be glad everything goes so good for us, and leave it at that."

"Okay, whatever you say. I would rather focus on you anyway." He pulled her into a kiss. "We should probably go. We wouldn't want you to be late for your favorite science class, would we?"

"We have some time. I thought we could go to the gym and make out for a few minutes, but if you want to get to class with our hot new teacher, let's go." He smiled at her and pulled her into the gym and kissed her passionately right away. They made out for a while, until they heard the bell. She broke away breathlessly. "Markko, we got to go."

He sighed and they went to class arm in arm. They got there right before the final bell. She turned around, "Hey, I didn't tell you. Lola's starting school tomorrow with us.'

Markko forced a smile. "Great, just great."
