Chapter 6
Mandy was talking on the phone with Brittany as Mark came down the stairs ready to leave.
Mandy was laughing and chuckling while sitting on the couch, Mark walked over and approached her.
"I'm going now." He said.
"Yeah." She replied and shooed him away as she continued to chat to Brittany.
"Don't talk for too long; I don't wanna have a huge phone bill." Mark said.
"Whatever." Mandy mumbled.
Mark shook his head and walked out and shut the door.
"Who was that?" Brittany asked.
"Who do you think?" Mandy sighed.
"Were is he going?" Brittany asked.
"He said that he's going out on some date." Mandy replied.
"Really? Well he won't be back until morning then." Brittany chuckled.
"Ewww….. I so don't need to know that." Mandy said grossed out.
"What's he like now?" Brittany asked curiously.
"Still a grumpy ogre as usual." Mandy replied.
"No I mean what does he look like?" Brittany corrected.
"Why do ya wanna know that?" Mandy asked confused.
"Just wondering." Brittany said.
"Well he's aged a little and he's hair a bit different." Mandy replied.
"Is he hot?" Brittany asked.
"Oh my god, I can't believe you just asked me that!" Mandy gasped.
"What? Who cares, is he?" Brittany chuckled.
"I can't answer that. This is Mark we're talking about here, I've know him my whole life, it's wrong to think like that." Mandy explained.
"No it isn't, he might think that you're hot." Brittany said.
Mandy gasped while laughing.
"Besides you're not a little girl anymore Mandy." Brittany said slyly.
"What are you getting at?" Mandy asked suspicious.
"Well your dad isn't there. It's just you and Mark there, all by your selves for more then a whole week." Brittany explained.
"Ok, I'm so dropping this conversation right now, besides I have a boyfriend." Mandy said.
Brittany started laughing. "So are ya home alone right now?"
"Yep." Mandy replied.
"Well go look in his bedroom or something." Brittany suggested.
"Why would I wanna do that for?" Mandy asked.
"Come on Mandy! You might find out some things as to why he's so grumpy." Brittany said.
"Well ok." Mandy replied and walked up the stairs and down to his room.
"Well?" Brittany asked.
"I don't know, there's not much in here. There are a few draws and his bathroom and his bed." Mandy replied.
"What type of bed does he have?" Brittany asked.
"It's big and it has black silky sheets." Mandy answered.
"Ohhhhh…..sexy." Brittany said.
"Ewwww….Brittany I know that you're only joking but this is totally grossing me out." Mandy explained.
"I'm sorry… look in his draws down by his bed." Brittany suggested.
Mandy walked over to his draws and leaned down and opened each one up.
"Well there's underwear in the top, socks in the second and in the third draw….well you know, there's…." Mandy said then Brittany buttered in.
"Porn magazines?" She said.
"Yeah…." Mandy said quietly.
"Do they look like they've been fondled much?" Brittany chuckled.
Mandy didn't answer.
"Mandy…." Brittany said.
"I mean it Brittany, say anything like that again and I'll hang up on you." Mandy snapped.
"What is your problem Mandy? I've seen the guy on TV and he ain't that bad looking." Brittany said.
"Well I don't care what you think of him, he's like a second dad to me. Get that through your head Brittany, a second father to me." Mandy said.
"I know, I'm sorry, look I gotta go anyway." Brittany said.
"Ok, see ya later then." Mandy said.
"Ok bye." Brittany said.
Mandy hung up and dropped the phone on Mark's bed and walked out of his room.
She stopped as she noticed that all the doors were left opened on the second story expect this door next to Mark's room.
She went to open the door but it was locked.
She peeked through the keyhole in the door and tried to get a glimpse inside.
She couldn't see much expect the room was painted pink.
Pink? That's weird, why would Mark have a pink room? She thought to herself.
She shrugged the thoughts off and walked into the study to go on the net.
After a few hours she heard the foot steps coming towards the study. Mark must be home, she thought.
She heard the door open and saw Mark walk in.
"Hi." She said looking at him.
"What were you doing in my room?" Mark asked.
"I wasn't in your room." Mandy lied.
"Don't lie, my draws were open and the phone was left on my bed." Mark replied.
Mandy bit her lip.
"Has the word privacy ever accord to you Mandy? Obviously not." Mark replied.
Mandy looked at him, and kept her mouth shut.
"What gives you the right Mandy to go through my things without my permission?" Mark asked.
"I don't know." She said quietly.
Mark raised his eyebrows at her.
"Well how do you think I felt the other day? You completely embarrassed the hell outta me." Mandy quickly added.
"Mandy, that was a little joke between the two of us, it's not like I went and told all my friends like you did." Mark said.
"I only told one person Mark." Mandy replied.
"Mandy do you understand that with the job that I do I need to have a well kept reputation, and if you found any personal things in there, those things can leek out so fast to the public." Mark explained.
"I'm sorry…but don't worry, Brittany won't say anything." Mandy said.
"Whatever, I'm heading to bed now." Mark said and shut the door.
