Title: It's Just A Crush
I start to laugh. " I'm sorry Mark I thought you said I was sharing your bed with you tonight? That's really funny. I am going to go back to my couch now. I will see you in the morning." As I go to get up Mark's arms shoot out and grab me. He pulls me back on the bed and snuggles up to my back. " Darlin, you heard right. I'm trying to make up with you and you aren't helping. I yelled at you and it's not fair for me to make you sleep on that couch so instead you are gonna sleep with me tonight." I turn around to look at him and that's when I realize how close he is. I lick my lips and I watch as Mark's eyes follow my every move. " Mark if you feel so bad then why don't you sleep on the couch and let me have the bed to myself." He starts to laugh. " Darlin, I feel bad but not bad enough to make me sleep on that thing. Besides we are two adults just sharing a bed for the evening. I promise I won't bite, well unless you want me to."
I lay there for a second trying to figure out what to make of all his little comments today and I realize it's probably Mark just being Mark. I turn over to face away from him. " Mark if I feel anything I'm not supposed to while I'm sleeping, I'm warning you now I will cut it off, got me?" I hear Mark start to chuckle as he rolls over to his side of the bed. " Now baby I know you don't really mean that so just close your little eyes and go to sleep." I think about saying something smart-ass back to him but then I realize I am going to really be sleeping in a bed with the man I've been in love with since I was fifteen. Wait a minute the man I am in love with? Where the hell did that come from, it's probably just the jet lag talking.
I wake up the next morning and snuggle more into the warmth I feel. I'm still a little groggy but I start to stretch. When it comes to me stretching I pretty much wiggle all around before I get out of bed. As I slide down the bed a little bit I feel something hard. Then I feel two hands grab my ass and push me back up. When I open my eyes I realize I'm staring into Mark's eyes. That's when I realize I'm on top of him, oh god I think I just figured out what I was rubbing myself on. I start to blush and look at him. " Um sorry about that." Since I just woke up my voice is still husky. " Baby trust me I can't think of a better way to wake up then to have you wiggling all over me but I had to stop you before I ended up throwing you onto the bed and having my way with you. And secondly Glenn can walk back in here any second from his workout and I really don't think wants to see his best friend going at it with his little niece."
I wiggle out of his grasp and sit up. " Damn it Mark I am not a little girl anymore so stop treating me like one. I'm twenty years old, I'm an adult and it's about time you started treating me like one." Before I can say anything else Mark has me lying on my back and he is hovering over me. " Darlin I can assure you I realize you're not a little girl anymore. It's just taking some time for me to adjust to that. Now as for me starting to treat you like an adult lets see what I can do about that." Mark starts to lower his head to mine but jumps off of the bed when he hears the door start to open.
" It's about time the two of you woke up. I am going to take a shower and once I get out I want both of you to get ready too because we are going to breakfast." My uncle doesn't even give us a chance to say anything before he walks into the bathroom and shuts the door. I sit up, hoping that Mark will come back to bed and kiss me but as I look around I realize he has walked out onto the balcony. I hit my fists on the bed, frustrated. I finally get the guy to admit he sees me as more than a little girl and my uncle has to come and ruin the moment. I slide out of bed and pull my shirt down to my knees. I walk over to the doorway-leading out to the balcony and stare at Mark. He has his hands on the railing and he is grabbing it so tight his knuckles are turning white.
I take a step out towards him and he turns around to face me. " Listen Chloe you're a good kid. I haven't been with a woman in a while so when I woke up feeling someone rubbing all over me I reacted like any man would. What happened after that should of never even got that far. So let's pretend like this never happened ok kiddo?" Two seconds ago he was about to kiss me and now I'm being called kiddo. " So basically what you're saying is you were horny and I just happened to be in bed with you, it could have been any other women and you would of reacted the same way right?" I notice a muscle in his cheek twitching. " Yeah darlin, that's exactly what I'm saying." I can't help but be stung by his words. " All right Mark then I will keep my distance from you because I wouldn't anyone accusing you of being with a little kid like me. You have a reputation to protect." I turn around and go back inside to wait for my uncle to come out of the shower.
Once all of us are ready we head downstairs to have breakfast. When we walk into the restaurant I see Hunter and Kevin waving us over to join them. When Mark goes to sit in the seat next to Hunter he tells him he can't sit there. " And why the hell can't I? Is this seat reserved for your ego?" Hunter smirks at him then turns to stare at me. " This seat is reserved for a very sexy woman that is wearing jeans and a red tank top. Chloe do you know anyone like that?" I smile at him and make a big show of looking around the restaurant looking for a girl then I glance down and pretend to be surprised I'm wearing jeans and a red tank top. " Well I seem to have the right clothes on but I'm not too sure about the sexy part." Hunter gets up and pulls me down to sit next to him. Mark is forced to take the seat across from us. " Chloe sweetheart trust me you are sexy as hell just like I said yesterday. What man in his right mind wouldn't want you?" My eyes look up to stare at Mark. " I guess you're right Hunter, any man in his right mind would want me."
I turn in my seat to put my hand on Hunter's thigh. " You want me don't you Hunter?" He starts to choke on his water but quickly recovers. He puts his hand on top of mine and slides my hand higher up on his leg. He leans down to whisper in my ear. " Baby if you keep sliding your hand up any higher I am sure you will find the proof that I want you." He leans back and winks at me then turns to talk to Kevin and my uncle. I give his thigh a squeeze then reach for my menu. As I look at it I let my eyes peek over the top and I can see Mark trying to stare a hole through Hunter then his eyes look over and meet mine. Hmm looks like Mark's eyes aren't the only things green about him. He looks jealous, now the question is what am I going to do about it?
