1Chapter 8
Mark awoke to find Angel and Mimi sitting at the kitchen table. They saw him wake up and walked over to him. Mimi placed gentle hand on his forehead, and after a seconds removed it.
"How is it?" Angel asked looking at Mimi
"Well it's not any higher, but isn't any lower either"
"My fever?" Mark asked confused
"Yes you fever" Angel responded in a voice like someone trying to be sarcastic, yet loving and caring at the same time.
"Ohh, when is Roger gonna be home?"
"It should be soon, they said they'd be back by five. It's 4:45 now, and I'm sure, for the first time in his life he'll not only bo on time but be early as well."
"I'll just wait up for him"
"No you should go back to sleep." Angel told hin
"No"
"Yes, if you don't you wont be tired when he gets home, then you'll never sleep, and never get better."
"I'm waiting"
"Fine! Stubborn much?"
"Yes, I am"
True to their word, Roger and Collins entered the loft at exactly 4:59 and 99 seconds. Roger immediately went over to Mark and gave him a kiss, which Mark was more than willing to return.
"Feeling Better?"
"No, he still has a fever"
"Thanks you guys but I've got it covered now"
"Ok, here" Angel handed a bottle to Roger "Give him one of these"
"What is it?"
"It will help him get better faster, trust me"
"Ok" and with that Collins, Angel, and Mimi left.
"I missed you today" Roger said sitting down next to Mark
"You too"
"Here, take this" Roger handed Mark one of the pills and the glass of water sitting on the coffee table "Angel said it will make you feel a lot better"
"Okay" Mark took the pill and swallowed it with the water. Roger put his arms around Mark and he felt Mark's body sag. He looked at Mark and he suddenly looked very tired and was trying hard not to fall asleep.
"Close your eyes Mark" which is exactly what Mark did. He was fast asleep before his head hit Roger's shoulder.
"Night Mark"
Sorry about the length. I just wanted to get one more cute scene in before the real drama starts in the next chapter. Please review, they make me update sooner!
