Hey my fellow readers. I sorta had writer's block, but I'm back! Okay, big news for those who don't remember… RENT COMES OUT TODAY! Pretty exciting stuff, huh? Okay, now on with the story.

P.S. PinkElphaba, I think this chapter might help brighten your day! Read this when our feeling down! LOL!

That night in the loft, Mark opened the door at about seven. He was greeted by the sight of Maureen, leaning against the doorway, grinning. Mark felt a wave of insecurity sweep over him. He still hadn't found the courage tell Maureen about Maddie, and unfortunately, Maureen was early.

She glided into the room joyfully, closing the door behind her. She pinned Mark against the wall and kissed him gently. She pulled back and smiled. Mark returned it wearily. Her grin vanished at the sight of his expression.

"What's wrong?' she asked tentatively. Mark glanced up, almost praying for an answer. He looked back down at her and gently pushed her away. "Maureen… I don't really know how to begin." Maureen stared at him cautiously.

Mark took a deep breath. "Well, I've realized that, posing as your boyfriend, I've just… I haven't-" he paused and then blurted out-" It's ruining my social life." Maureen looked utterly confused. She pinned him up against the wall once again unexpectedly, causing Mark to let out a gasp of surprise.

She had a confused expression on her face, her eyes narrowed in thought. "So, let me get this straight, you met a woman today, you like her, she likes you, but I'm in the way."

Mark smiled meekly and nodded. Maureen had taken it better than he had hoped. She smiled and leaned in, placing a passionate kiss in his soft lips. "we've been together one day, and you're already tired of me… and you think I'm bad." She murmured into his ear, pulling him closer.

Mark realized he was in too deep. He had already fallen for her seductive lure, and there was no way out. He looked up and began to speak. "Maureen I-" he started, but Maureen placed her index finger on his lips, running it down to his chin. Her entire hand then cupped his chin, guiding his head towards hers. Their lips met again, but this time, Maureen held his head close to hers, making it last. Mar had tried to pull away, but Maureen's grip was fierce.

Maureen lightened it up a bit, and their lips were barely apart. He rested his forehead against hers as the atmosphere of the room made them both feel extremely light-headed. What was going on?

Almost snapping back into reality, Maureen realized what she was doing. She pulled away and said " Please Marky? For me?" she gave a small pout and said "Pookie?"

He had no choice but to agree. "All right." He declared. Maureen threw her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly. "We'll just have to keep trying." she whispered, looking up at him. He nodded and pulled her up so she was staring directly at him. "You're beautiful, you know that?" he smiled, almost not believing he had just said that.

"You think so?' she asked, looking down at her body. "I really don't think I have the figure though." She murmured, looking at her behind. HE kissed her passionately to catch her attention. "That's not what I meant." He breathed in her ear once she had been frozen in the state of shock.

She then kissed his forehead. "And you're just the most adorable thing." She giggled, running her hands through his hair. Mark grinned and picked her up bridal style. He walked over to the couch, still grinning at her, and sat down. Maureen, still sitting in his lap kissed him as if there were no tomorrow.

If anyone had been watching the two once they had pulled away and laughed at one another, their immediate thought would be that the two "lovers" were drunk. Maureen felt giddy at the thought of being in Mark's arms again, yet really being in his arms. It just felt right.

Mark on the other hand, almost blurted out how much he enjoyed this, buy didn't for fear of ruining the moment. Maureen toppled over Mark a bit, almost pushing him down on the couch, though he was still sitting up. They continued to kiss, arms wrapped around each other, Mark's glasses askew and Maureen's locks falling front of her face. Soon, though, she found herself drifting to sleep in Mark's arms.

About fifteen minutes later, however, she awoke, and the making out began again. Mark pulled her impossibly closer as Maureen also did so. His lips ran up and down her neck and Maureen giggled and let out a few sharp breaths, for Mark's warm breath against he rneck made her feel giddy. Maureen tugged at his shirt and then pulled it over his head, revealing a tin, white undershirt.

It wasn't until Maureen took her jacket off to reveal an extremely revealing teal top that made Mark feel a bit uneasy. It was lacy, with a floral print. But it went no farther than that. Maureen could feel the warmth of Mark's body pressed against hers, and strangely, the two realized that they enjoyed each other's company.

Since their breakup, the two hardly got along, and now, on the couch, making out. Everything seemed to be going perfect until…

The sound of the door opening could be heard, ad seconds later, standing in the doorway staring in shock, were Roger and Mimi.

Sorry to cut it so short, but I need time to think. Mark is so awesome, and so is Maureen so I figured, put them together. I don't know where this is going, but the next chapter will involve some drama, and maybe mark will tell Maureen his true feelings. Not sure yet, cuz that might have to wait till the very end! Love you guys! Peace and love day!
