Jade and Scott came in around 5:00am. They wanted to be back by the time Danny woke up. They sat on the couch and talked for a while till Jade fell asleep against Scott. Scott sat there and watched her sleep. She was amazing. He thought about the passion they had shared tonight. But it wasn't just that she touched his heart in a way it hadn't been touched since Amber. He knew he could never let her go. He wanted her in his life forever. He closed his eyes and finally fell asleep thinking about his future with Jade.
Tyger stumbled in the door about 5:00AM. She was tired, sleepy, and grumpy. She went to the kitchen to make some coffee. She started to fill up the coffee basket "That's the last thing you need little girl." Mark said from behind her. Tyger turned around and seen Mark standing there. Mark opened his arms and Tyger walked right into them. Mark wrapped his big arms around her. Tyger felt like she was at home here in his arms, like that's where she belonged. Mark kissed her on top of her head. "Tired baby?" he asked. Tyger nodded her head. Mark picked her up and carried her upstairs. He set her down on the end of the bed and went in the bathroom. Tyger heard water running. Mark came back in and led her to the bathroom. There was a bathtub full of steaming water and a wonderful smelling bubble bath. Mark undressed her and set her in the bath. "Sit there and relax. I'll be back in a minute." Mark said. Tyger sank back in the hot water, it felt wonderful. Mark was so good to her. Once again she thanked her lucky stars she had meet him. She laid there with her eyes closed enjoying the hot water lapping over her body. Mark came in with a cup of tea. He set it on the side of the tub. "Drank it while it's hot." Mark said. Tyger opened her eyes and took the tea. "Thank you Mark." She said. "Your welcome sweetie." He said. Tyger sat there and sipped her hot tea. "I got to go to my shop in a couple of hours. Want to come down after you get some sleep? I'd love for you to see the place." Mark said. "I'd love too. Leave me directions. I'll be down after while." She said. He bent down and dropped a kiss on her lips. "I will." He said. She finished her tea. Mark took the cup and set it to the side. He kneeled in front of the tub and picked up a wash cloth and soaped it up. He started to gently wash her from the top of head to the tips of her toes. Tyger relaxed under his gentle hands. "Close your eyes." He said. He leaned her back and used the shower nozzle to rinse her hair. Mark finished and pulled the plug on the drain. He helped her out and wrapped her in a big towel and dried her from head to toe. He kneeled and pulled her panties up her legs over her hips. He then put on one of his t- shirts. "Come on lets get you in bed." He said swinging her up into his arms. He carried her back to the bedroom where the covers were pulled down on the bed. He laid her in the bed and climbed in beside her. Tyger snuggled into his arms. Mark rubbed her back as she lay against him. "Mark thank you for being so sweet to me." She said. "Tyger you don't have to thank me, I love you baby." He said. Tyger wrapped her arms around him tighter. "Tomorrow were having country music night. Want to come?" she asked. Mark laughed. "Country music?" he asked. "Hey I like country too." She said. "Okay I'll be there. Are you going to sing?" he asked. "Yea if ya want me to." She said. "Yea I love to hear you sing baby. You got a real sweet voice." He said. "Okay then I will sing a song just for you." She said. "Good now get some sleep." He said. Tyger drifted off safe in the arms of her love, feeling safe and cherished.
Tyger awoke about 10:00AM. She got up and got dressed. She found the note Mark left with directions on how to get to his Harley shop. She made some coffee and toast and called Scott. "Hey daddy." She said when he picked up. "Hey baby girl." Scott said. "I'm having country music night at the café and I was wondering if you and Kev wanted to come?" she said. "Well I defiantly will come. I will ask Kev when I see him. Since when do you like country music?" Scott asked. "I always have. I like lots of different music pops. I just listen to rap around you all the time to torture you." She said laughing. "You're a bad child." Scott said laughing too. "I'll have Kev call you." Scott said. "You can bring Jade if ya want." She said. "Are you sure honey?" Scott said not wanting to upset her. "I'm sure." She said. "I gotta go daddy. I'll stop in to see you today sometime." She said. "Okay baby, Love you." He said. "Love you too." She said hanging up. She got her keys and headed off to see Mark.
Tyger found his Harley shop with no problem. She walked in and seen Mark supervising the unloading and placement of new bikes. She snuck up behind him and grabbed him around the waist. Mark jumped and then laughed. "Who is it?" he asked. "You better know who it is. How many women do you have grabbing you around the waist." She said tickling him. Mark grinned and turned around. "Just one. The prettiest little girl in all of Texas." He said kissing her playfully on the neck. "That's better." She said giggling. Mark let her go. "What do you think of the place?" he asked. "Looks great." She said. "Come on. I'll show you around." He said. Mark showed her around the showroom, telling her about the different Harleys. Then he showed her the shop where they did repairs and restorations of old bikes. "I bet you'll be out here most of the time. I know you there's nothing you like better than working on bikes." She said grinning. Mark threw his arm around her. "You know me well baby." He said. "Yea I know something else too. Nobody looks better in bike grease than you do." She said reaching up to kiss him. Mark put his arms around her and kissed her back. "I'm having pizza delivered for lunch. Want to have some with me?" he asked. "Sure, lead the way. I'm starving." She said. Mark grinned and took her hand. "Come on we'll eat in my office." He said. Tyger happily went with him. Everything seemed right with the world when she was with him.
Scott and Kev had just let there students go for lunch. "Tyger wants you to come to the café tomorrow. Its country music night." Scott said. "Tyger and country music?" Kevin said raising his brows at Scott. "Don't ask me it was news to me too." Scott said laughing. Just then Jade and Dana came in with Danny running in front of them. "Scott! Kevin! Hey!" Danny said running at breakneck speed toward them. "Hey kiddo." Scott said picking him up. "Hey Danny." Kevin said grinning at him. The girls followed Danny over to the guys. Dana kissed Kevin. Kevin put his arm around her. "Hey want to go over to the café tomorrow night. They are having live music. Tyger invited us." He asked. "Sure sounds like fun." She said. "How about you Jade?" Scott said kissing her on the cheek. "I don't know, you sure Tyger will want me to come?" Jade asked. "Well she said to ask you." Scott said. "Well if you're sure." Jade said. "Hey what about me?" Danny asked. Jade was aware of how Tyger felt around Danny. "Danny I think it will be too late for you to stay up." She said. Danny started crying. "Tyger don't like me does she?" He cried. " Danny Tyger just don't know you yet. That's all." Scott said kneeling in front of him. "I'll tell you what you go over and play in the ring with Kev and Dana and I'll call Tyger and ask if you can come, Okay?" he asked. "Okay." Danny said. "Now dry up those tears." Scott said. Kevin got Danny and he and Dana took him over to the ring. "Scott do you think this is a good idea?" Jade asked. "Well it can't hurt to ask?" Scott said. Scott dialed Tygers number. "Hello." Tyger said laughing. "Hey baby. You sound like you're in a good mood." Scott said. "I am." She said. "I'm over at Mark's new Harley dealership. We're having lunch." She said. "Yea Mark told me about that. Will it be open soon?" Scott asked. "In a couple of weeks." Tyger said. "That's great." Scott said. "Uhh listen I got something to ask you?" Scott said. "Yea what is it?" Tyger asked. "Can we bring Danny with us tomorrow night?" Scott asked. "Well yea, when I told you to bring Jade I figured you would bring him too." Tyger said. "Are you sure, Tyger?" Scott asked. "Daddy I'm working through this, its going to take time. But I'm trying. I'll be fine. Don't worry." She said. "Okay if you're sure." He said. "Okay then. I'll be by later today." She said. "Okay baby. Bye." he said. "She said it was fine." Scott said to Jade. "Okay I just didn't want to cause trouble between you and her." Jade said. "Honey this isn't yours or Danny's fault. It's just the way things are. Me and Tyger will get through it. I don't want you worrying about it." Scott said. He reached over and pulled her against him and kissed her. Jade realized she loved this man completely. She couldn't bear the thought of being with out him. Danny came running over. "What did she say?" Danny asked. "She said yes you could come." Scott said. "Yahoo! I get to go!" Danny yelped jumping up and down. Scott and Jade laughed at his excitement. "Come on you two lets go have lunch and leave the two love birds alone." Scott said pointing toward the ring. Kevin and Dana were sitting on the side kissing. Jade smiled those two were so in love she thought. Scott put his arm around her and kissed her gently. "I love you beautiful." He said. Jade melted at his words and touch. "I'm hungry." Danny said jumping up and down. Scott laughed. "Lets go feed this little monster." He said swing Danny up to his shoulders. Jade was happy that Scott seemed to like Danny so much. Things were so perfect she couldn't believe it.
Tyger
was getting ready to leave. "Tyger do you think you
could take off for a couple of days this weekend?" Mark asked. "Sure, what do you have planned?" she asked.
"I can't tell you it's a surprise." He said. "Oh come on Mark tell me." She said.
"Nope. Just pack some jeans and t-shirts for a couple
of days." He said. Tyger pouted. "Tell me." She whined.
Mark just laughed. "No." he said firmly. Tyger
stomped her foot. Dammit, that's not fair." She said.
Mark took his hand and swatted her bottom. "Stop acting like a brat." He said
grinning. "I am a brat." She said smiling. "Well brats have a tendency to get
their bottoms paddled. Now get before I put you over my knee." He said giving
her a kiss on her lips. "Okay ya big bully." She said
laughing. She hugged him tight. "I'll see you tonight." She said. "Okay little
girl, love ya." He said. Tyger
headed for her jeep humming. She was going to get the rest of her stuff from
Scott's. She was officially moving in to Mark's. She hoped Scott would
understand.
