Roger stopped walking and pushed Mark into the alley way next to the Life Cafe. He pinned him up against the wall and brought his lips down to Marks. What was supposed to be a quick kiss suddenly became more involved, Roger tongue was in Marks mouth, and Marks hands were passionately exploring Rogers body.
Finally Roger pulled away for air. "Wow!" Mark sighed into Rogers neck. "You are amazing. I love you."
Roger smiled. "No your amazing."
"I shouldn't have told you to wear that shirt." Mark said examining his boyfriend.
"Why not?"
"Cause you look so fucking sexy, I'm not sure I will be able to contain myself at lunch." They both laughed and Roger leaned in for another kiss.
"Well no matter what you wear I can't contain myself so were even." The song writer laughed.
Mark pulled away after a moment. "You know your falling way behind on the 'I love yous'" He pointed out.
"No 12-8!" Roger exclaimed.
"No its 15-8."
"I know I can't beat you I'm just trying to stay competitive." Roger said with another kiss.
Mark laughed and pulled Roger out of the alley. "Come on were gonna be later than we already are."
Roger grudgingly followed whining something about how unfair this was. Mark got to the door and opened it for Roger. "After you babe."
"Ahh thats why I love you." He walked through the door then turned around. "15-9!" He pointed out.
Mark laughed and looked around. "There they are." He motioned to Maureen, Joanne, Collins and Angel who were squished into a round booth.
"Sorry only table they had left." Collins apologized as Mark slid in next to Angel followed by Roger.
"Its ok I don't mind." Mark said. This gave him an excuse to be close to Roger.
"Wheres Mimi?" Roger asked.
"She should be here any minute." Maureen said looking around. "When I talked to her she said something about bringing this new guy she met at work, is that ok with you guys?"
"Yeah thats fine." They all agreed.
True to her word a moment later Mimi sauntered in followed closely by a blond man. Obviously the guy she met at work. They walked over and Mimi slid in next to Roger and the clearly out of place man followed.
"Hey guys." Mimi said enthusiastically
"Its about fucking times Meems were starving." Roger sarcastically commented.
"Your one to talk Rog, You guys got here like two minutes ago." Joanne pointed out.
"Yeah don't give me shit Roger." Mimi said hitting him on the arm.
"So whose your friend Mimi?" Angel asked.
"Oh yeah sorry." She said turing her attention back to the other man. "Everybody this is Matt. Matt this is everybody."
"Hey" Came the replies.
Mimi picked her arm up off the table and began to point. "Maureen, Joanne, Collins, Angel, Mark, and Roger."
"We don't actually expect you to remember all of that." Mark said with a laugh.
"Ok good." Matt chuckled
"So how did you guys meet?" Maureen questioned.
"Matt here." Mimi said lovingly touching his arm. "Is one of the set designers on the show."
While everyone drilled Mimi and her new man, Roger took his hand off the table and placed it on Marks thigh. Mark looked up at Roger and smiled. Rogers hand traveled up his thigh and grabbed his crotch. Marks breath caught in his throat and he let out a small gasp.
Luckily everyone was focused on Mimi and no one noticed. No one that is except for Angel. She was sitting so close to Mark she heard him gasp and looked over to find him staring lovingly into Rogers eyes. Angel glared at them with a confused expression on her face. She tried to shake it off as nothing and turned her attention back to the others.
The waiter appeared at their table. "Orders?" He demanded, the entire staff was over them always being there.
Everyone ordered their food and the waiter promptly left. Roger picked up his beer and took a drink.
"So is this..." Matt began motioning to Roger.
"Yeah." Mimi cut him off.
"So your Roger?" He asked.
Roger put down his beer and looked at him. "Yeah why?"
"Nothing, I've just heard a lot about you."
"Like...?"
"Oh nothing just that your Mimi's ex, and you helped her through withdrawl and everthing."
"Yeah...yeah..I did."
"Anyway..." Mark cut in sensing that for some reason Roger disliked this guy. Maybe he was just jealous. Wait no Roger had him, he was probably being just normal over protective Roger. "Maureen are you having any more protests soon?" He joked.
"No" She said a hint of sadness filled her voice.
Joanne looked at her and laughed. "I promise I'll help you prepare for another one soon I've just been busy."
"I know honey." Maureen leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
The waiter made his way back to the table with their food. He set it down in front of each person. "Anything else."
"No I think were good." Angel said sweetly
Roger picked up his burger and took a bite. "Yum"
Mark rolled his eyes.
"What?" Roger asked
"Rog, were here almost every fucking day, and you have the same thing every time. Yet you still always have to exaggerate how good you think it is." Mark said picking up a fry.
Roger leaned into him and shoved him with his shoulder. "Your mean." He pouted.
"Well it is true Roger." Collins pointed out.
"Yeah" Mim agreed.
This caused the group to go off on a rant about all the annoying things that everyone else does.
Mark began to move all of the crunchy overcooked fries he had onto Rogers plate. They were Rogers favorite.
Roger looked down and nudged him. "Aw thanks hun." He whispered in his ear "Things like this are why I love you."
Mark looked up and smiled at him
"15-10" Roger whispered back.
Unbeknownst to both men, because of Angels close proximity to Mark she had caught this private little exchange.
