Mark parked his bike and sighed getting off. He couldn't wait to bring Tara back where she belonged. He knew that there would be hassles leaving here to go back home, but there were possibilities for her; she could do her magazine. When he got close to the door, he was shocked to see all of his bags lying around.
"What the fuck?" he whispered and went over to the door. Before he could knock, it swung open and there was James.
"Hey man, what's going on?" Mark asked.
"She doesn't want you in her house."
"What do you mean?"
"She doesn't want you living with her anymore and I don't think I need you to be my best man." James slightly smiled.
"Why would she..." his sentence trailed off as he realized everything, "You know, don't you?"
"Of course I know, did you honestly think you would keep this affair from me? You can't leave anything alone, you have to have everything, huh Mark?"
"James, it's different between Tara and me, we..."
"Cut it. She trusted you, I think she wanted to leave with you, but now after what you did to her."
"What do you mean, what I did to her?" Mark said staring a hole into James.
"Kissing and fondling that girl right in plain view."
"I didn't fondle any girl."
"Mark, she saw it, I saw it. You can't hide from the truth." Mark grabbed his jacket and pushed James' against the door.
"You rich son of a bitch, you set me up." Mark said anger radiating from him.
"I told you Mark, I was going to have Tara no matter what. Now I would hate to send such a celebrity to jail, but I will if you don't get your hands off of me."
"Where's Tara?" he said keeping his hold on him.
"Somewhere you can't get to her." Mark slammed his fist right next to James' head hitting the door.
"You're not getting away with this."
James swallowed hard, staring at the fist, "I already have, now why don't you go back to your lonely wrestling world, I have to get married."
Mark grabbed his bags and walked downstairs angrily. He took out his phone and called Tara's cell.

I was at Mina's house, just staring at the television. I was getting married in a couple of days. I really thought Mark changed, everything that he said to me. Now I know that everything that he says is a lie. How could I be so stupid and believe him. Although some thing didn't make since, why would Mark bring a girl around, right in front of my apartment. I heard my cell phone ring and Mina went to answer it.
"Hello." she paused, "She's not talking to you." she hung up.
I got an idea of whom that was. I heard it ring again and she answered the phone.
"Hello." she paused, "Look you lying bastard, she doesn't want to talk to you anymore." she was about to hang up, but I heard him yelling over the phone.
I took the phone from her, "What?" I said.
"Listen Tara, hear me out."
"I believed you."
"No, James set me up. After everything that I said to you, you think I would mess up like that, especially outside your own place."
"I don't know. I was just thinking about that and now, I'm so confused right now." I said trying not to let the tears fall.
"You really don't want to marry him. He's getting off on controlling you."
"Mark, stop it! I don't want to hear anymore from you."
"You want to marry him? Then fine, do it. I mess up one time and I get accused like I'm a fucking criminal."
"Messed up once? You betrayed my trust and our marriage. You could have come to me, hell I was coming to you and you still didn't want to talk to me, you were too busy fucking some whore!" I said not controlling my anger.
"Tara, I hope you have a great life with James. As far as I'm concerned, you both deserve each other."
"Why are you talking to me like I'm the bad guy?"
"Hang up the phone." Mina coached. She just finally took the phone and hung it up.
I fell back on the couch, crying. I can't believe that he talked to me that way. After what I saw, why would he make it like I was the enemy? I sighed trying to think everything through. Even though I know what I saw, I still wanted Mark and that is what made me more angry at myself. Mina put her hand on my shoulder.
"Forget about him. Forget about James. We can go recreate our own Thelma and Louise." Mina smiled trying to make light of the situation.
"I don't know anymore, Mina. I know what I saw and I want to believe my eyes but for some reason, it doesn't make sense." Mina frowned.
"Well, you know I never found Mark to be a dumb man. I would think he would have a little more class to not do it where you stay. I really don't care for James after everything that happened. You need to search in you to find out what you really want and think it through."
She kissed my forehead and got up to go to the bathroom. I needed rest, my head was spinning and I was tired of thinking. I got up to go upstairs, running my fingers through my hair. I was going to sleep and forget about everything that happened. I sulked in the bed and played with the ring around my neck.

Mark laid in the hotel room. Fucking woman, he hoped that James control her ass all he want. Mark officially washed his hands of her. He couldn't help but think about her. What was she doing? How was she going to get through this? Admitted once that he cheated, but that was the only and last time. He wanted to start over with her. He always will love that girl, from the moment she walked out of that kitchen at her best friend's house till now and more.
"Damn, I'm pussy whipped." Mark said to himself.

Flashback
The truck pulled up to the lake late at night. Mark came around and opened the door for Tara. She smiled at him, not knowing what he had planned.
"Mark, what are you doing?" she asked.
"Just, wait a minute baby." he said quickly kissing her.
She walked closer to the lake and watched as the moon reflected on the water. She felt him wrap his arms around her waist. She leaned back against him as she took a good look out.
"I've wished to share this moment with you for a long time." she said.
"I know baby."
"I love you so much." she said turning to face him. She brought his head down and kissed him passionately. Mark wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer as the heat from their bodies radiated to the other. Mark's pants became too tight as he felt himself getting harder. She pulled away from him briefly, looking into his green eyes.
"Mark, I want you to make love to me right here." she said running her hand down his cheek.
"I will, but there's something I have to confess." he brought out something from his pocket, "Tara, you mean the world to me and every since the day we met and I touched you and kissed you for the very first time, I knew that we were meant to be. I can't imagine my life without you." he opened the box and she saw the small diamond ring, "Tara, I want you to marry me." it didn't take her long to answer.
She threw her arms around his neck, kissing him, "Yes, yes, oh God yes." she said kissing him wildly.
Mark slipped the ring on her finger and she kissed him again.
"I want our children to have your eyes." she said staring back at her.
"I want them to be as beautiful as you."
He laid her on the grassy meadow and kissed her, waiting for them to spend the rest of their life together.
End of Flashback
The next day, I got up and went back to my house. I didn't know where to go from here. I just wanted everything to be over. I looked around and saw that everything reminded me of Mark.

It doesn't matter anymore; I need to get on with my life. I took off my jacket and was starting to clean up when I heard my door. I wonder if that was Mina. I opened the door and looked up to see Glen. What was he doing here?

"Glen, what are you doing here?"

"Mark needs me to come and get some of his stuff."

"Oh, please come in." I moved out the way.

Glen was being his less cheerful self. He wore that same stern face that he held when he was in the ring. I'm pretty sure that Mark told him the story. It must be from his side, I didn't care to know.

"How are you doing?" he asked and I looked at him.

"I'm holding up, did Mark tell you what happened?"

"Mostly yea, I never would have guessed." so I did see him last night, "I never would have guessed you were that stupid."

"Excuse me." I said narrowing my eyes at him.

"You really think he would do that right in front of you after what happened the first time. Fuck he was with me when he left! He wanted to celebrate the two of you getting back together." my eyes widen.

I swallowed hard, "But I saw him." did I really?

I mean it was dark and it looked like him from the back. I remember the girls hand on his shoulder and him pressed up against her on his bike. Her hand was running down his neck. Then I realized something. Tattoo? There was no tattoo on the back of his neck last night.

"Oh my God." I whispered.
