Chapter 15

Hailey had the night off as Andrew was working instead. She was lying on the couch watching TV, not much fun, it was a Saturday night and most people were busy. Simon had finally got the guts to ask Brooke out and she agreed so they went to the movies. Jason was at his friend's house and her parents were at a work event in the city so she was by herself. She was flicking through the channels when a movie came on she liked. She started watching it when she heard a knock on the door. She looked at the clock and it was 9:30, who'd be calling around at this hour she thought?

She opened the door and saw Mark standing there. "Ur Hi." She smiled at him. "Hi." He smiled at her. "Come in. it's raining out there." She said. He walked inside. "You left your jacket at the bar, so I thought I'd drop in and give it to ya." He explained handing her the jacket. "Oh Thanks." She smiled, and put it on. Mark raised his eyebrows at her. "What? My grandma knitted it for me." She smirked and walked over and sat down on the couch. "It's pretty quiet, is anybody home?" He asked looking around. "No, Jason is at a friends place and my parents are at a work event, so it's just me." She replied while watching the T.V. "Really in that case…" He said and walked over and sat down and pulled her over on his lap. "Mark what are you doing?" Hailey giggled. "Hugging ya, got a problem with that?" He asked running his hands threw her hair. "No." She smiled at him. He smiled back and kissed her gently on the lips. He pulled her gently into a hug and leaned back on the couch and they started watching the T.V. "Mark do you remember what happened last night?" Hailey asked. "Yeah of course, why?" He replied looking at her. "Well it's just that you seemed kind of drunk." She said. "Oh, maybe I was, but I remembered I kissed you." He smiled at her. "You do?" She smiled. "Yeah, of course, how could I forget a kiss like yours?" He smirked. She blushed and looked away. He lifted her chin up and kissed her again passionately. She pulled back after a while. "Want a drink?" She asked. "Yeah, ok." He replied. She quickly got up and walked over to the fridge. Mark wondered if she was trying to get away, his thoughts were interrupted by Hailey "I don't have any beer is soft drink ok?" She asked. "Yeah, sure." He replied. She poured him and herself a drink and handed it to him. She sat down next to him and crossed her arms. He looked at her confused and continued to watch the T.V. A little while after a sex scene started to occur on the show and Hailey quickly changed the channel. Mark raised his eyebrows at her. "Urr, I'm just gonna put my jacket away." She quietly said and headed upstairs. Mark realized that she was obviously scared of sex. Like when he started kissing her, she tried to move away. Most women he dated made the first move and usually loved sex, but she was only young he remembered. He heard her coming back down the stairs; he decided that he should talk to her about it.

"Hailey, come here a second." He said to her. "Yeah?" She asked standing by the stairs. Mark turned his head around and saw her standing there. "Hail's I aren't gonna bite ya, come over here." He joked. She gave a nervous smile and walked over to him. "Sit down, hun." He said patting the seat. She sat down next to him. "Hailey, you're not scared of me are you?" He asked. "No." She replied quietly. In truth she wasn't scared of him, she was scared that he didn't like her and that she was useless at sex. "What's wrong then?" He asked taking her small hands. "I…I'm…nothing." She said looking down. "Hailey look at me and tell me what's wrong." He said to her. She looked up in his green eyes. "I'm scared." She said quietly. "Scared? Of what?" He asked. "You know." She said turning red. "I'm afraid I don't." He answered. "I'm scared that you think I'm just some girl with a little girl's body and that I'm useless at sex." She said with tears in her eyes. "What? Of course I don't." He said. "You don't?" She asked. "No, Hailey you are so pretty and I'm sure you're not useless at sex, you just don't know much because you've never experienced it." He explained, running his hands through her hair. She smiled and he lowered his mouth to her and gently kissed her. "Come on." He said husky to her. "Ok." She replied. He took her hand and led her upstairs.
