Kayla woke up and smiled. She was wrapped in Mark's big arms. She lay there a few moments enjoying the feeling of being wrapped in his embrace. Kayla studied his features. He looked so sweet sleeping. His long honey colored lashes gave him the look of a sleeping baby. His full lips were parted slightly. The lightest of freckles, you could barely see them were sprinkled lightly on the bridge of his nose. Kayla couldn't resist she leaned over and kissed him lightly on the lips. Even though it was just an innocent brushing of lips, it felt like electricity had hit Kayla. His lips were so warm. Kayla pulled back to find his green eyes looking at her. Kayla blushed and looked down.
"Stealing kisses while I sleep?" Mark said smiling.
"I'm sorry." Kayla mumbled. She was so embarrassed.
"Hey now, don't get all shy on me girl, I can think of worse ways to be woke up than by a pretty girl." Mark said.
Kayla peeked up at him and smiled.
Mark grinned and kissed her cheek. He silently wondered what the kiss was about. Did Kayla have some kind of feelings for him or was it just a friendly kiss, He realized Kayla had come to care about him just like he had for her, but as far as he could tell it was just friendship. She needed him.
"I got to get to work." Kayla said.
"I guess I'll go on and get started to." Mark said.
"Make some coffee woman." Mark said laughing.
Kayla grinned and hopped up and started some coffee. She grabbed her clothes and went in the bathroom and got dressed. She pulled her hair back and braided it. She went out and Mark was sitting there drinking coffee. She got a cup and sat down beside him.
"Mark thanks for staying with me last night." Kayla said.
"Well Darlin, I didn't mean to fall asleep like that, Cindy probably going to raise hell." Mark said.
"I didn't mean to get you in trouble." Kayla said.
"Don't worry about it, it just gives her an excuse to bitch, she don't actually need one. Besides I do what I want, no one tells me what to do Kayla." Mark said.
"Let's get going, I'll fix breakfast after were done.' Kayla said.
"Okay, what ya going to fix?" Mark asked.
"What do you want? Kayla asked.
"The works." Mark said laughing.
"Okay I'll fix you the biggest breakfast you ever seen." Kayla said.
At 11:00am Mark and Kayla headed up to the house. Kayla went to the kitchen and Mark went in search of Cindy. Her and Amber were in the living room.
"Where were you last night Mark?" Cindy asked.
"I fell asleep at the stables." Mark said.
"Oh really?" Cindy asked sarcastically.
"Listen, Kayla aint that kind of girl, nothing happened, so pull your claws in." Mark said.
Mark turned and headed upstairs to take a shower.
"Come on." Cindy said to Amber.
Cindy and Amber walked into the kitchen. Kayla just smiled at them. She could see Cindy was mad.
"What are you doing?" Cindy asked.
"Mark asked me to fix him breakfast." Kayla said.
"Your filthy, you could at least take a bath first." Cindy said in a snotty voice.
"Mark doesn't seem to mind, besides once I get breakfast going, I'm going to run upstairs and take a quick shower." Kayla said.
Kayla had brought her clean clothes with her.
"You seduced Mark last night didn't you?" Cindy asked with her hands on her hips.
Kayla grinned at Cindy but didn't answer her, let her stew about it Kayla thought.
Mark walked in wearing a pair of sweats and nothing else. Damn he looked good Kayla thought.
"Mark can you keep and eye on the food while I take a quick shower?" Kayla asked.
"Sure Darlin." Mark said.
Kayla grabbed her clothes and went upstairs.
"We're going swimming after breakfast so you girls get some suits on." Mark said.
"Where are we going Markie?" Cindy asked wrapping her arms around him.
"To a stream here on the property." Mark said.
"Mark what if there are bugs or fish in the water?" Cindy asked wrinkling her nose.
"They wont bother ya, don't be such a wimp a Cindy." Mark said pulling away from her.
Cindy and Amber exchanged glances. They had to do something about this girl and quick.
Kayla looked in the mirror. She had the new swim suit on under her clothes. She had on the black short skirt and a red midriff top that showed off her flat belly. She let her hair hang loose and pulled on her black sandals. She grinned and headed downstairs.
Mark's mouth fell open. He looked at Kayla she looked hot as hell. He had never seen her dress like that. Cindy wanted to slap Kayla. She was trying to steal her man, no doubt about it.
"Well Darlin, don't you look pretty." Mark said smiling.
Kayla smiled and went over and hugged him.
"You're so sweet." Kayla said.
Mark smiled and held her close; he couldn't help but be fond of the little thing.
If looks could kill Kayla would be dead. Cindy was sending her an evil look.
Kayla turned around and just grinned at Cindy.
"Now you guys go find something to do, I'll finish breakfast and call you when it's ready." Kayla said.
"Sure you don't need no help Kayla?" Mark asked.
"No, go on, I'm fine." Kayla said.
Kayla watched them leave and smiled. She was really getting to Cindy she thought. She turned around and continued to fix breakfast with a grin on her face.
