Katlyn sat down her laptop in frustration. She couldn't write, she had some kind of block. She kicked the table in anger. The last months had passed quickly. She had healed rather quickly and had pretty much put the whole incident behind her. But one thing had come out of it she didn't know how to handle, Mark had changed. She hadn't noticed it so much at first.
Bur then she had cursed at him one day and he hadn't said a word. Katlyn had just stared at him. Okay she thought that was weird. So she had started pushing his buttons just to see his reaction, there was none. She was starting to get frustrated from his lack of response to her. She steeped up her behavior, she would go to the club without telling him, he would track her down and make sure she got home safe but he never said a word. She stayed out late trying to piss him off but nothing. The old Mark would have jerked a knot in her tail, but now, he said nothing. They had started making love again too, but even that was different, Mark was gentle and sweet which was all well and good, but he treated her like a piece of china he was afraid to break.
Katlyn sighed as she remembered some of their wild lovemaking sessions in the past, she missed them. Mark's dominating ways in the bedroom turned her on, but that too was gone. Katlyn had come to one conclusion, Mark didn't love her anymore, hell he didn't seem to care what she did, there lovemaking lacked the passion and excitement it used to have, he just wasn't interested anymore. Katlyn figured he was staying out of pity, Mark was if nothing a compassionate man. He probably didn't want to hurt her. Katlyn felt the tears sting her eyes and blinked them back.
There was a knock at the door and Katlyn went and opened it.
"Hey Sweetie." Paul said.
"Hey." Katlyn said.
Paul walked in and shut the door. Paul had noticed her behavior change over the last few months, hell everyone had and Mark's lack of response. He was worried about both of them.
"What's up?" Katlyn asked sitting down on the couch.
"You were drinking last night." Paul said cutting right to the chase."
"So, I had one drink and Scott gave me a ride home, what's the big deal." Katlyn asked.
"Your 18, its illegal, that's the big deal young lady, does Mark know?" Paul asked.
"Mark don't give a shit what I do." Katlyn said and looked away from Paul.
"That's bull Mark loves you, you're acting like a brat, in fact you been acting this way for a while, what's wrong?" Paul asked.
"Listen, I'm not two here I do what I want, Mark could care less what I do anymore, so to hell with what you or anybody else thinks." Katlyn said. She got up and left the dressing room. Paul stared after her and shook his head. He was going to have a talk with Mark, Katlyn really wasn't herself.
Katlyn plopped down at ringside and watched Mark practice. Her heart still skipped a beat when she looked at him. God she loved him. But it was obvious he had lost his feelings for her.
Mark seen Katlyn sitting by the ring. He stopped practicing his moves and watched her. Katlyn had changed since the incident with Chris and he didn't know what to do. She had become foul mouthed, she ignored him, she stayed out late with no phone calls to tell him where she was, she would take off and not tell him where she was going and she had developed a really smart ass attitude. At first he thought a good ass busting would do her a lot of good, but Mark couldn't bring himself to inflict any pain on her, she had been hurt enough. He kept seeing her the day Scott found her, crying bruised and battered. He had let a lot of stuff go with her, simply because he couldn't bring himself to be hard on her anymore, he didn't want to add to her pain. He sighed, He missed there wild lovemaking to, but she was fragile after what Chris had done to her, he didn't want to bring back no bad memories of him, so he remained a gentle lover with her until she indicated she was ready for more than that.
"Katy, come here." Mark said.
Katlyn ignored him which pissed him off but he hid the fact and climbed down out of the ring and went to set beside her.
"Let's leave after my match and go have dinner?" Mark said.
"I'm going out." Katlyn said.
It was all Mark could do not to grab her and shake her.
"Fine." Mark said and got up and left.
Katlyn started crying as soon as he left. She buried her face in her hands and sobbed.
"Hey what's wrong brat?"
Katlyn looked up to see Scott.
She fell into his arms crying.
"Mark doesn't love me no more." Katlyn cried.
"That's crazy girl, you know he loves you." Scott said.
"No he don't, he don't give a damn what I do." Katlyn said.
"Come on, let's go get a bite to eat and have a talk." Scott said.
Katlyn nodded and took his hand and followed him.
