I apologize, I didn't have time to upload for a week or so...anyway, I didn't get a single review for previous chapter, which disappoints me...I don't know whether it was because you didn't like it or what, but please if you read this, find a minute to tell me your opinion, so I know where I stand. Anyway, I hope you enoy this chapter! I enjoyed writing it ;). Mark may be a little out of character, but what wouldn't he do for a woman he loves? ;) If it's too cheesy or whatever, bring on the critism!
Title (and also some content of this chapter): Sum 41 - Best of Me

Mark's POV
When I woke up in the morning, I looked around the room and then grabbed my phone from the nightstand. Without thinking I called Addie, but with somehow expected outcome – her phone was turned off. All I could think of was calling Callie again to figure out what should I do. When she picked up and said: "Hello Mark, what's up?" I replied:
"Hey, Callie. Ok, I was thinking it over and I need your help. Please...how to win a girl's heart? What things make you all melt?"
I heard an uncontrollable laugh. As I sat there with phone pressed to my ear, I felt truly embarassed, but whatever. I was waiting anxiously to what she'd say.
"You, the most famous manwhore must know them all!" she managed to tell me through her laughing and I had to specify myself.
„You bet I feel like a loser, but...Callie, please, help me...what is the best way to apologize to a girl? Addie exactly, you two are friends, you should know."
She sounded sympathetic, when she replied:
"Let me think a little...," but almost immediately after it she said: "You know... showing good manners and being romantic always works."
Being a gentleman? I could do it. The romantic part? Hmm...a little more difficult, but worth trying.
"And Addie is a real lady, so I think it should," she continued, "I know you aren't a romantic really, but you'll manage. I believe it. You'll do great."
I could say she figured out I was feeling miserable and she was trying to encourage me somehow and lighten up the mood. I was so grateful for a friend like that.
"Thank you, Callie. I'll keep that in mind...by the way...how are you and Sofia?" we talked about our little girl for a while, which made me happier, but after I hung up, I really had to think about Callie's suggestion and make some plans. I really didn't have much experience with romantic gestures, so it took me a few hours. So many things could go wrong and I definitely needed some cooperation. My choices were extremely limited, but in the end I called Amy for that. We agreed to meet at the practise and when I was driving there, my only wish was not to be killed by some of Addie's collegues – the guys or maybe even girls – when I turn up there. Cos I was sure they all hated me for what I did to her, but they had no idea about the whole story. And of course not to run into Addie. Thankfully I didn't meet anyone except for a young boy who was carrying around a skateboard and a woman, who seemed like a maid. I met with Amy and we went to her office. She is the one I really trust. She once caught me with Addie together in bed and she kept our secret. And she gets me – she knows that a person can hurt many people around and also themeselves, but that doesn't have to mean he's all horrible. Sometimes people have to make a big mistake to figure out how to make things right.

Amy's POV
We agreed on a plan with Mark, I got Charlotte to babysit Evan and promised Mark to get Addie to the harbor the next day. It went a little more smoothly than I thought. I didn't tell Addie the true purpose, but I didn't lie either. I said I was helping a friend and Addie was the best specialist to help with something like this. She probably wasn't in the mood to ask any extra questions in the light of events from previous days. Before I knew it, she was sitting next to me in my car and we were driving to the harbor. I was so happy with not messing anything up, that I almost distracted myself and went to the wrong boat. But thankfully it didn't happen and we got to the right one – small compared to others and ordinary, but nice.

Addie's POV
Tired of what happened yesterday and the day before I didn't really care about what I was doing until we came to the cabin of a boat. But suddenly the lights went off, I shouted "What the hell?" and some song started playing. But after two seconds of listening to it I realized it might not have been just some song, cos it was impossible not to focus on its lyrics.

I'm sorry. It's all that I can say.
You mean so much and I'd fix all that I've done If I could start again.
I'd throw it all away to the shadows of regrets
and you would have the best of me.

Lights flashed up again and in front of my eyes there stood Mark. Mark in suit. Mark holding a red rose. In fact whole cabin was covered by rose petals. For three brief seconds I felt like jumping off the boat. Yes, I was dressed, but not in any fancy clothes, I could do it.

Mark's POV
This was the moment. I felt I had to start speaking quickly.
"We misundestood each other. I didn't mean it that way and then you asked me a question which took me by surprise. I didn't know how to react. But I want you and I want you to have the best of me."
I offered her the rose. I tried like hell to sound confident. The music started playing again and Addie...I could say she was confused, but she looked at the rose, then she looked at me and she took it. And at that point I could also say, that this was what she'd wanted for a long time.
Although I didn't want to do anything more than kiss her, I rather stopped myself and just embraced her. It felt so right having her in my arms and the music was playing in the background and...I surprised even myself with what I did next. I started dancing with her. Because listening to the song and looking at her I just felt like it. And when I say I was looking at her – her face somehow glowed and the prettiest thing of it were her eyes. Her hair slightly shivered me on my arms. She was dressed in simple blue dress, but it brought up every perfect curve of her body. I moved my head closer to hers and whispered: "You are beautiful."
And she put her arms around my neck and laid her head on my chest.

What do you think about it? O:)
