Mark went to the first place he could think of- the cat scratch club. He showed off his id, and went to a table surrounded by businessmen. He smiled when he found the cute Latino was at his table. She was giving some guy a lap dance. That guy looked familiar… it was Benny!
"I can't believe you!" Mark screamed at Benny.
"Believe what?" Benny said.
"You know… you knocked up my Maureen!" Mark yelled.
"Oh shit! I gotta go!" Benny said, while grabbing his briefcase and running out he door.
Mark went over to the bar and ordered something strong.
Mark sat at the table and finished his mystery drink. Mark sat alone until the Latino from before came over to him.
"Mark right?" The dancer said.
"Yes. How are you today Mina?" Mark said.
"Umm… it's Mimi." Mimi answered.
"Oh, okay. How much is a lap dance?" Mark asked.
"Around $20 bucks. But for you, it's free. Meet me outside, my shift's done in 15 minutes." Mimi said.
Mark ordered another drink and watched Mimi as she finished dancing with the backup dancers.
Mark saw Mimi exit the stage- probably to get changed. Mark picked up his stuff and went outside and waited for Mimi.
Mimi arrived and Mark and her moved to a nearby alley. Mark sat down and straddled Mark.
"You're hard." Mimi said.
"ALWAYS." Mark answered.
"Why are you here this time?" Mimi asked.
"My fiancé is pregnant, and it's not my baby. It's belongs to the guy you gave a lap dance to earlier." Mark said.
"Benny?" Mimi asked.
"Yeah Benny. This is, he was supposed to ask his girlfriend to marry him tonight, I was with him all day helping him get ready to pop the big question." Mark said.
"You know what?" Mimi said.
"What?" Mark asked.
"I'm dating Benny- I didn't know he was taken!" Mimi said.
"You learn something new everyday." Mark said.
Mimi smiled.
"Go back to your fiancé." Mimi said.
"Why?" Mark asked.
"Everybody makes mistakes." Mimi said.
From a distance I saw a girl who was dressed in bright colors. Her make-up was perfect and her hair didn't seem to have a hair out of place. As she got closer, I realized that she was really a he- a drag queen. But, a very pretty drag queen. Mimi got off of Mark and picked up her purse.
"She's with me. See ya around!" Mimi said as she disappeared from sight.
Mark got up and started walking around.
What should I do? Is Maureen worth it? What if the baby's mine? How could we afford a baby? Does she really love me? Was she really sorry or is she just a tease?
Mark thought and walked around for what seemed like hours, trying to decide what to do.
I love Maureen with all my heart. I'm going back to her, because she's worth it.
Mark walked to the loft and found the light on; Roger and Maureen were sitting on the couch watching TV. Maureen ran over to Mark and gave him a big kiss on the mouth.
"Ummm… Roger could Maureen and I talk alone?" Mark asked Roger.
"Sure." Roger said, grabbing his guitar and walking towards his room.
"Mark… where were you?" Maureen asked.
"Oh… I walked around in circles for hours." Mark said.
"Maureen… I have a question. When did you and Benny have sex?" Mark asked.
"Ummm…. The day that we had that big fight. The day you asked me to marry you." Maureen answered.
"Oh my god. WHY? Why Maureen? " Mark asked.
"Because you didn't want to have sex. You rejected me." Maureen said.
"Does that give you the right to have sex with your friend's fiancé?" Mark asked.
"Fiancé? Benny and Alison aren't engaged." Maureen said.
"Actually, he was going to propose to her tonight. I was with him all day, preparing him for tonight. I really wasn't filming." Mark answered.
"Oh my God." Maureen said.
"Did you know you were pregnant when we made up? Is that why you wanted to have sex with me, so you could fool me into believing Benny's baby was really mine?" Mark asked.
"No, I just wanted you. All I want is you. I love you Mark. I'm sorry." Maureen said tears running down her face.
"I know you're sorry, but you can't fix what's already happened." Mark said.
"Do you still love me?" Maureen asked.
"Of course I still love you. Maureen, you're my first everything. You were my first kiss back in high school, the first girl I had sex with, and you're my first real love. Nothing can change that- you'll always be my first everything. I want to be with you forever." Mark said.
Mark turned off the light and pulled Maureen onto his lap. Mark kissed Maureen with all the passion he had in his body, and they kissed for hours in the moonlight.
A/N- Something will happen in the next chapter that will change everything. Just wait for it. Reviews would be lovely!
