CH 51
Adam leaned on the sink listening to Mark rant and rave outside the door while Lisa splashed water on her face trying to deal with her morning sickness. She winced every time Mark raised his voice.
"You ok?" Adam moved behind her massaging her shoulders.
"No, it's hard to stay mad at him," she turned staring up into Adam's eyes. "There is something wrong about this I just don't know what. I still don't understand ….."
Lisa was cut off by Mark yelling "Damn it why can't I remember!" She froze at how he echoed what she thought why can't he remember. I need to find out now, she thought going towards the door.
"How could you not remember Mark? You were naked in bed kissing my sister telling her you loved her," Lisa opened the door looking very pale and shaken. Mark took one look at her and forgot all about everything else.
"Are you ok? Did the doctor call yet?" Mark tried to touch her.
"I'm fine don't worry about me," she pushed his hand away. "Answer my questions please."
"Don't tell me to stop worrying about you. I never can do that. I don't know why but I can't remember. The last thing I remember is going for Kelly's bag," Mark stared at her making her heart ache for him. He seems to be telling the truth, she thought watching him. Mark kept staring at her noticing for the first time her engagement ring was gone. "Where is your ring?"
"I gave it to Christina to give to you," Lisa was starting to feel nausea again.
"Why would you do that?" Mark glared at her. "Damn it don't you trust me at all."
"Mark, I did trust you with all my heart till I saw you in bed with Christina," Lisa shook her head. "It's hard to deny what I saw in front of me. You told her you loved her."
"I don't believe this. There is no way I was with your sister last night," Mark felt her flinch when he touched her cheek.
"You were. You want proof I'm sure she still has the ring," Lisa couldn't stop the tears from welling in her eyes.
"Please don't go anywhere I'm going to see Christina and get this whole mess straightened out," Mark knew it had to be a mistake he just had to prove it. "Can you please wait for me to get back or if you want you can come with me."
"I will wait for you. I don't want to see that bitch right now," Lisa looked down at the floor.
"Darling, don't disappear on me please. I don't want to lose you," Mark took the chance pulling her into his arms. She kept stiff for a few seconds not wanting her heart to take control. The warmth and comfort she felt from him broke her down as she hugged him back resting her head against his chest.
"Mark, I don't know what to think or believe right now. I saw you with my own two eyes with her in bed naked but when I look into your eyes I feel you're telling me the truth about not being with her. I didn't do anything with Adam last night I just was losing my mind and didn't want to be alone," Lisa was beyond confused she just wanted to know the truth no matter how painful it was.
"We will straighten this all out I swear. You'll be here when I get back right?" Mark tilted her chin.
"Yes, but I want you to take Adam or Glen with you," Lisa felt the morning sickness getting worse.
"Fine, come on Glen," Mark didn't mind having Glen along to keep him under control. He looked down a Lisa one more time. "You better lay down you look a little green. I'm sorry for causing you all this pain."
"Mark, I don't know what is going anymore just watch yourself," Lisa let go of him wondering if that was the last time she would feel the comfort of being in his arms.
"All I want you to worry about is getting rest and getting better. I will straighten out this whole mess," Mark reluctantly let her go as she brushed past him going back into the bedroom. "Take care of my two girls Adam."
"Don't worry I will," Adam picked up Kelly from the swing taking her into the bedroom with Lisa. Mark deeply sighed rubbing his face not understanding how his life had gone down the tubes in one night.
"Come on let's get this over and done with," Glen motioned for Mark to follow him. Mark took a deep breathe hoping he could end this nightmare once and for all.
Christina wasn't expecting any visitors when the knock came on her door. She cautiously went to the door looking through the peephole seeing it was Mark.
"Oh shit," Christina leaned against the door trying to think what to do. She had to make sure her act was convincing no matter what she did. She decided it was best to open the door and find out what Mark wanted.
"Good morning lover, did you forget something last night?" Christina opened the door with a wide smile going to give him a kiss.
"Get the hell away from me," Mark pushed her away looking at her with disgust.
"I knew this would happen you only wanted a one night stand," Christina rolled her eyes noticing Glen behind him for the first time. "I should have known better why would you want a relationship with me when you got my wonderful sister."
"I don't want anything from you. I didn't sleep with you last night. Tell me nothing happened between us," Mark grabbed her arms roughly lightly shaking her.
"Whoa big boy I don't like it rough," she tried to keep her cool ignoring Glen staring at her with hate in his eyes. "We did sleep together last night and I'm sorry Lisa walked in on us. I don't even know how she found us. Oh wait a minute maybe I do."
"What did you do?" Mark let her go afraid he would hurt her.
"I wanted to save my sister from making another mistake with a guy who was going to treat her like shit. So when I saw you in the bar last night drinking instead of being with Lisa and Kelly I decided totest you. I hit on you and it didn't take long till you agreed to come back to my room with me. Once I got you to my room, I asked one of the bell hops to put a note under Lisa's door so she could walk in on you being a cheat," Christina reached up running her fingernails over Mark's chest. "It took me only a few minutes to seduce you into my bed and I have to admit you were quite amazing."
"You bitch you're lying through your teeth," Mark growled at her as she smiled. "I never was at the bar. I would remember sleeping with a slut like you."
"Obviously you didn't maybe I'm not as good as I thought," Christina walked back into her room grabbing some polaroids from the bureau. "Here lover take a look." She felt Glen's stare burning into her as Mark's stomach clenched up going though the photos. Most of them were of him naked in bed and there were a few with her naked on top of him. Mark dropped the photos to the floor feeling sick at what he just saw. "Oh I forgot to give you this," Christina went into the other room coming back with something sparkling in her hand. "Lisa asked me to give this to you." Christian handed him the engagement ring. Mark clenched it in his fist putting it near his heart.
"I don't believe any of this. You set me up some how. I didn't sleep with you I would know it," Mark regained his composure.
"I guess I'm forgettable always have been next to my sister. I'm sure you remember every moment with her but excellent sex with me you can't recall," Christina pouted crossing her arms.
"You are a sick twisted bitch," Glen spoke up. "How can you do this to your sister? What the hell has she done to you? This is your chance Christina to stop being a snake tell us the truth what happened last night. Did someone force you to set Mark up?"
"No," Christina shook her head surprised Glen would even think of that. "I did this to prove to Lisa that Mark isn't the man for her. One day she will be thanking me."
"I'm going to find out the truth and when I do you better run because you're going to be sorry you ever messed with me," Mark yelled at her. "I hope you rot in hell."
"Is this how you treat all the girls you sleep with?" Christina continued to torment him. Mark felt his temper rise. Hewas ready to slap the smile off her face when Glen grabbed his shoulder.
"Let's get out of here and leave the bitch alone. We will get her," Glen ignored Christina pouting. Mark nodded in agreement starting done the hall.
"Bye lover hope we can have fun again," Christina called after him.
"Christina, you better start using your head because you're getting yourself in a shit load of trouble. I know you set Mark up last night. I just don't know why yet but I'm going to find out. You're plan isn't going to work Mark and Lisa will get back together it's only a matter of time. True love overcomes all even an evil pathetic sister," Glen grabbed her chin roughly. "You're going to pay for all this pain you're causing."
"Oh Glen, you're just jealous you didn't get to bang me first," Christina giggled as Glen's eyes filled with anger.
"No right about now I'm thankfully I never got serious with you. I don't know why I ever thought you were a sweet girl," Glen let her go. "I actually feel sorry for you because you're the one that is going to end up alone and miserable when all this shit is over. Will it all be worth it losing your daughter and your family?"
"Screw you Glen. You don't know shit about me. I'm going to get everything I want out this and my sister will be the one alone and miserable. She will finally get exactly what she deserves," Christina lost her cool. "I for once in my life deserve the good life and good men that my sister seems to get so easily."
"You're doing this all because you're jealous. That is pitiful."
"Go away Glen. I don't want to listen to your analysis of me anymore. Go back and take care of my sister," Christina pushed him down the hall as Shane was coming there way with coffee and a newspaper.
"Have a good day bitch," Glen coldly said going in the opposite direction of Shane to catch up with Mark. Christina stared after him feeling the urge to go after him and tell him everything so he wouldn't think she was a bad person.
"Looks like you pissed someone off," Shane said breaking her from her thoughts kissing her cheek.
"He is a loser and can go to hell," Christina took one last look at Glen before going into her room.
"I love when you're all worked up it's so sexy," Shane kissed her passionately. "Forget all about Glen we have to keep concentrating on Mark and Lisa but first we have to go do some shopping for the special thing I promised you."
"Good handsome, I'll go get dressed and we can leave," Christina kissed him again before heading into the bedroom. She shut the door dropping to the floor against it silently crying feeling like the cruelest coldest person in the world for what she had done.
