Mark came in and found Katlyn lying on her stomach toward the end of the bed watching TV. He set the food down on the table and walked over and squatted down in front of her. Katlyn gazed in his eyes. God she loved this man. She took his hand and turned it over and pressed her lips to his palm. She felt the heat still coming off his hand and looked down at it. It was as red as her bottom and probably just as sore.
"It hurts?" Katlyn asked.
Mark nodded.
Katlyn lifted her head and kissed his lips gently.
"I'll always feel yer pain baby." Mark whispered.
Katlyn sensed they were at a turning point in there relationship, that they were both coming to the realization that this was it for them, they would spend the rest of their lives together, there was no more wondering if this relationship would work, they had both fully accepted there roles and were happy with them.
"Let's eat Katy." Mark said.
He helped her up and Mark set down at the table and sat Katlyn on his lap.
Katlyn squirmed a bit on his hard thighs trying to get comfortable to no avail.
"I don't think yer going to be comfortable no matter how ya sit, at least not for a few days." Mark said.
Katlyn frowned.
"You're not being very sympathetic." Katlyn said.
Mark grinned.
"I'm not ya brought it on yourself." He said.
Katlyn pouted as Mark began to eat.
She started to get up and Mark pulled her back down.
"Ouch." Katlyn said landing on her sore butt.
"Eat." Mark said.
Katlyn just sit there with her arms crossed.
"Come on Baby, eat, when we get through I'll rub yer butt for ya and make it all better." Mark said grinning.
Katlyn couldn't stay mad and grinned and picked up her fork and started eating.
Mark kissed her cheek.
Katlyn looked at Mark and smiled.
"I think I'll keep you." Katlyn said.
"Good cause I'd be lost without ya." Mark said.
Katlyn smiled. So this was blissfully happy. Life was finally coming together for her and Mark.
"So you two work out your problems?" Paul asked.
"Yea, we never been so happy." Mark said as he lifted weights in the gym.
"Well good, I'm glad to here it." Paul said.
"How are things with you and Trish?" Mark asked.
"Great in fact, I'm going to ask her to marry me." Paul said grinning.
"Hey that's great man." Mark said getting up and shaking Paul's hand.
"Well she hasn't said yes yet." Paul said.
"She will, Trish is crazy about ya." Mark said smiling.
Paul just grinned.
That got Mark to thinking. Maybe it was about time, he made his little woman his wife. Hell he loved her more than anything, might as well make it legal.
"Baby girl, come here." Mark said.
Katlyn got off the couch and came to sit beside him on the bed.
"Our 6 month anniversary is coming up. I thought we would go out of town for a few days to celebrate. Glen told me about some cottages ya can rent up in the Tennessee Mountains. I rented us one for a couple of days. I thought we could get away together just you and me, what do ya think?" Mark asked.
Mark that would be great!" Katlyn said and hugged him.
"Good cause I got a surprise for ya." Mark said grinning.
"What?" She asked.
"I aint telling, you'll have to wait." Mark said.
"Come on tell me." Katlyn whined.
"Nope." Mark said.
"Oh okay, but I got a present for you too, and I'm not telling." Katlyn said sticking her tongue out.
Mark grinned and hugged her.
"Okay we'll both have to wait." Mark said.
