A/N: Okay, I'm back with a new chapter. I'm sorry to say that the story is almost over, and I'm so sad cuz this is my first RENT story, but I have like two new ideas for others, so right when I finish this story, I'll take a break for a week or so, and then start writing a brand new story! 9For all those Mark/Maureen fans, rejoice!)
Okay, so here's the next chapter and love you all!
Maureen sat on the side of mark's bed, declaring her love for him. Mark was absolutely speechless. He wasn't sure if he was ready to be with Maureen again. After all, there was no telling whether or not she would dump him for a woman in rubber. Mark sat down, walking aimlessly in her dark hazel eyes. Maureen sat, waiting for an answer to escape him.
"And you're really… sure about this?' he asked, sounding a little hesitant. Maureen nodded. "Positive." Mark placed a hand on her cheek and Maureen closed her eyes and smiled. "It can't hurt to try again." He declared.
Maureen grinned and leaned over to kiss him softly. She did and pulled away slowly. Mark blinked a few times before letting his eyelids droop and finally close. He had just heard Maureen's voice saying "I love you Mark." for a second time before drifting off to sleep.
A few days had passed. Maureen, now officially going out with Mark, moved in with him. Mimi and Roger came back from their trip and when Maureen had told Mimi about the entire thing, Mimi gave another ear-piercing shriek. ("I'm so happy for you!" she said.)
Collins' life had been going well, and he moved back in . Mark had never been happier in his life, except maybe the time when he had first met Maureen. Now, she was all he could think about.
Maureen adored Mark. Every time he crossed her mind, e light-hearted and a goofy smile always ended up plastered on her face. Whenever she was upset , he would sweet-talk her into something, and her reply was always, "Why the hell do you have to be so cute?"
Roger began to encourage their relationship more and more, and Mimi never got tired of it. Collins was constantly rubbing it in Mark's face that he was right about him still loving Maureen. Everything seemed to be going well; Mimi had found a new job at the Starbucks down the street- Roger had made a few CD's and sold them- Maureen had gotten a few more gigs and Mark was always there to film them.
One Saturday morning, about a week and a half later, Maureen awoke next to Mark. She felt loved against his warm chest, slowly moving up and down as he slept. His slow heartbeat was droning, but in a good way. Se could tell her curls were tickling Mark from the way his body moved. "Mark?" she asked, nudging him a bit. He shifted and opened his eyes.
He smiled at her and Maureen kissed him gently. "What's up?" he asked. Maureen shook her head. "Nothing. I was just thinking how I went from trying to get Joanne back to getting back together with you. I'm glad it turned out that way. She was getting dull anyway." She joked.
Mark kissed her fiercely and Maureen pulled away, and rested her head on Mark's chest. Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the peaceful moment. Maureen slowly got out of bed. "I'll get that." She said, putting on a robe.
She strode over to the door, on a winning streak. Nothing could possibly bring her down, nothing, except for the fact that when she opened the door, there stood Joanne, a smile on her face.
Sorry it's short! I promise the next chapter will be longer! I've been having writer's block, and a new story is in the works! There are only about two chapters left, so I'm sad. But good news is- I may get the Elphaba part in Defying Gravity for our big show! Yay! We're using a lift and everything! I'm trying so hard!
Anyways, I'll try to update more and luv ya'll! Also I don't own anything by the way.
