MARK

"Honey, are you awake?" Zoey's mom said at her door.

"I'm up, but still in bed."

"Go in." Zoey's mom said to someone. Zoey quickly pulled the covers up to her neck.

"Hi." Mark said then he handed her a red rose.

"Thanks." Zoey said as she smelled it.

"Welcome. Sorry about yesterday."

"It's okay."

"I hated to see you kiss him though." He said as he sat on Zoey's bed.

"He kissed me." It was the truth, just not the whole truth.

"It was a horrible sight. His hand was on your butt."

"Not like we go out." Zoey said sitting up.

"Well I was wondering?" Mark said moving close to Zoey.

"Yes?"

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He said moving closer.

"Yes!" Zoey wrapped her arms around him. She forgot that she had only a long shirt on that showed her pink lacey panties. He held her close. He kissed her neck then her cheek.

"I'm glad." He had a smile on his face that was bigger then the United States.

"Me too. Sorry about everything."

"No need to say sorry. Oh and nice panties."

"Mark!" Zoey said as she laughed. Mark left after inviting her to a concert in the next town. They would have to sleep in a hotel after the concert. She had to convice her parents that it would be fine. Renee came over to check on Zoey because she was missing work. Zoey was dressed in her work clothes, but was sitting on her bed making no effort to go to work.

"You going to work?" Renee asked as she entered Zoey's room.

"I was." Zoey said as she looked down at her knees. She felt bad that she said yes to Mark. She really did like Elliot, but she also liked Mark. She was confused and she didn't want to see Elliot at work.

"Well we need you." Renee said as she helped Zoey up.

"No you don't." Zoey said as they walked out the door.

"What's your problem?" Renee said turning toward her sharply.

"Nothing."

"Well snap out of it, Zoey!" Zoey and Renee walked to work silently. When Zoey entered the cafe with Renee, Elliot came over.

"Zoey?" Elliot said worried. These days a lot of people are worried and sometimes I just add to their worry. Her train of thought was broken.

"Yeah?"

"Are you okay?" Zoey just nodded. Elliot grabbed her arm and took her to the back.

"What's wrong?" Elliot asked as he held her by the waist.

"We can't do this." Zoey didn't want this to be true. She felt safe in his arms, but now she was a girlfriend. She could have said no to Mark, but she didn't. Also she didn't want to say no.

"Why, Zoey?"

"Me and Mark are dating now."

"What?" Elliot said as he let her go.

"He asked me out this morning."

"Oh." Elliot said then leaves. He was upset. Zoey sat on the floor and cried. Elliot came back 10 minutes later.

"Zoey?" Zoey gets off the floor and pushes him against the wall. She begins kissing him. He holds Zoey tightly. His hand goes up her shirt and he explores her chest.

"Zoey?" Elliot whispered in her cat ear. For some reason her cat ears and tail came out.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Zoey whimpered as she pushed away. Zoey fixed her uniform. Her cat ears and tail vanished.

"Zoey, you do like me?"

"Yes, but I like Mark too. Liking you makes this difficult between Mark and I."

"Oh okay. I understand. We better get back to work." Elliot left and got right back to work. Zoey did the same.
