"Had fun?" Glen asked as they walking towards their car, getting ready to head back to the hotel.
"Yeah, very much." Erin commented, smiling widely. She wrapped her hand around Mark's arm, leaning her head on him while her other hand hugging the bear.
Mark just smiled, missing this feeling so much. Though he noticed the jealousy in Glen's eyes as he watched them cautiously. He cleared his throat, unwrapping her hand from his arm. Erin frowned, wondering what's going on. She used to do that and Mark doesn't seem to mind it back then. Mark continue walking and stood beside the passenger door, waiting for Glen to unlock it. Once it's unlocked, he hop in and put on his seatbelt. He crossed his arms and decided to talk to Glen about his jealousy issue when they're alone.
The ride to the hotel is made by silence. All were occupied by their on thoughts. They went to the hotel desk and grabbed their keys. The girls went straight to their room while the guys decided to stay at Mark's for awhile.
Mark opened the hotel room door and let Glen in before closing it. He took off his cap and put it on the table while Glen makes himself comfortable on the couch. He began to take off his leather jacket and asked Glen, "How is it?"
Glen answered, "Going well. Everything's going well man."
"Yeah?" Mark asked, taking off his watch.
Glen nodded, smiling widely, "Yep. Guess what? She kissed me on the cheek."
Mark took off his shirt, wearing a tank-top inside, "Really? What did you do then?" he asked, eventhough he saw it all.
"Well, I kissed her back. On the cheek." Glen bit his lower lip, "Do you think that's a good move?"
Mark looked at the mirror and began messing with his own hair, "Sure. She doesn't mind it, right?"
"Nope. Infact, she blushed." He grinned, loving how he makes her blush.
Mark nodded slowly, "That's a good sign." He walked and sat on the stool beside the mirror. He crossed his arm across his chest, "I want to talk about you. About your jealousy." He held out a hand to stop Glen from talking, "Just want to tell you that Erin and I use to do that. It's a friendly thing. A friendly gesture. So don't worry yourself with jealousy thinking I'm going to steal her away from you cause I'm not going to. We hug, we kiss, we peck, we hold hands. All of that is nothing but friendly gesture. I hope you remember that."
Glen look at him, and nodded, "Sorry. Can't help it."
Mark walked and sat beside him, patting his knee, "It's okay. I understand."
Glen arched an eyebrow, "You do?"
Mark nodded, propping his legs on the table infront, "Yeah. You afraid of rejection. You afraid someone's going to steal her away from you. You afraid that she'll like someone else. But don't worry, I won't steal her away from you cause she's mine already. As a best friend." he let out a sad smile momentarily.
It's true. He is afraid of all of that. He don't know what to do if any of that come true. His heart will be breaking into million pieces. "So umm... What should I do next?"
Mark arched his eyebrow in question, "About your jealousy?"
Glen let out a short chuckle, "No. About Erin. What should I do next?"
"Hmm," he rubbed his chin in thought, "Go out for dinner tomorrow."
"Go out for dinner tomorrow," Glen repeated Mark's sentence, frowning slightly, "Like a date?"
Mark nodded, "Yeah. A date with her tomorrow, at a restaurant."
"Which restaurant?"
Mark just shrugged, "You have to ask her. Ask her where she will like to eat and you take her there then."
Glen nodded slowly, rubbing the back of his neck, "What should I do when I get there?"
"Well, ask her about her family, you know. Find more about her. And you tell her about your family et cetera. You need to know more about her if you want to be in a relationship with her."
"Okay. Hmm, any sensitive subject that she doesn't like to talk about or anything?" he asked, not wanting to ruin the mood tomorrow.
"No." Mark answered, walking towards his bag and pull out a towel. He let it hang on the shoulder.
Glen stood up, feeling tired and sleepy. He yawned and stretched before walking towards the door with Mark following suit. He stopped at the doorway, "Alright man. Thanks for your help. Wish me luck for tomorrow," he smiled and started walking towards his room after bidding him goodnight.
Mark shut the door behind him. He were about to take off his tank-top when his cell phone ring. He took out his cell phone from his jeans pocket and answered it without checking the ID caller, "Hello?"
"Hey. Not busy are you?" Erin asked.
Mark smiled hearing her voice. "Nope. What's up?" he asked, jumping on the bed, lying back first.
"Nothing. Just want to make up those nights we didn't had a chance to have our late night talk."
They always have a late night talk on the phone though this past few days, they seem busy that they don't time for it. It's either they're tired or busy. "So you had fun today?"
Erin smiled, nodding her head eventhough he couldn't see it. "Yeah. I had so much fun! Glen is a sweet guy."
Mark smile faded hearing that. "Yeah? How sweet is he?"
"Well, he won me a bear. A lovely bear."
"Good to hear. You love that bear?"
"Yep. He's cuddling with me right here," Erin answered with a smile. "So, umm... you and Nichole."
Mark arched an eyebrow, taken back from that sudden statement. "Me and Nichole?"
Erin nodded, looking over at Nichole who's sleeping on the other bed, "Yeah. She told me you won her a bear too. Hmm, is there anything going on between you too?"
Mark let out a short chuckle, "Huh? Nothing is going on between us."
"Are you sure?" Erin asked, sounding skeptical.
"Hm. We're just friends. She's a nice girl. You jealous?" Mark teased.
Erin laughed, though not loud enough to wake Nichole, "Me? Jealous? Nope nope. You're my best friend, why must I be jealous? In fact, I like someone else."
Mark half smile, looking up at the ceiling. "Who? Tell me."
"No way. You can't keep a secret."
"Trust me, I can." When Erin kept quiet, not wanting to tell him, he decided to describe Glen, wanting to see her reaction, "Hmm, is he a huge bald guy? As big as me?"
Erin blushed, giggling. "Okay. Gotta go. Night. Sweet dreams Marky." She laughed when he heard Mark growled. She shut off her phone and lay in the bed, staring blankly at the top ceiling. She felt complicated. Her feelings for Glen is complicated. She thought her feelings for Glen is only friendship but after today, when he won the bear for her, she felt happy. Glen being totally sweet to her, makes her heart fluttered. She sighed softly, before closing her eyes, dreaming about the man who's been sweet to her.
"Night," he whispered after Erin had ended the call. He set the phone aside, staring at the ceiling blankly. It seems like Erin likes Glen. He smile sadly. Seems like Glen will get what he wants; a relationship with Erin. He sat up, glancing at the clock that reads 11:23 pm. He stood up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, his mind on nothing but Erin.
