AN- I'm really really really sorry about this excruciatingly long absence! I have been dreadfully busy between the Senior Prom, Senior Class Trip and other things…so here's another chapter to Moving On! Enjoy yourselves!
Mark decided he to take the subway back to Gwen's apartment…he knew she would throw a fit if he was really late. The subway clanked loudly down the dark tunnel. A couple a homeless people panhandled several passengers on the train. Mark sat back and relaxed until his stop came up. He got up before the train stopped, and stumbled slightly when it did. The doors opened and he strolled out, walking up to street level, keeping to himself until he heard his name called.
"Mark?" Came a man's voice from behind him.
Mark turned around. "Benny?"
"Yeah…hey…" Benny looked kind of depressed, and his clothes were rather disheveled.
"What happened to you?" Mark walked over to him.
"Got mugged…I was going back to my penthouse suite…and some homeless jerks ganged up on me…" Benny mumbled, rubbing his arm.
"Holy shit…are you alright man?" Mark asked, trying to sound concerned- even though he really wasn't.
"Yeah…hey would you mind sparing me some change for the subway…those assholes took all my money…" Benny said, he was obviously hiding something.
"Sure…" Mark reached into his packet and pulled out some change. "Say, how's Allison?"
"That whore? Uh…I mean…we split up…she was sleeping around anyway…" Benny took the change from Mark. "I really appreciate this…how's Roger and Collins?"
"Roger's good…he and Meems are still together…Collins found a new boyfriend and they are so cute together…" Mark smiled.
"What about you?" Benny asked, pocketing the change.
"I'm gay." Mark blurted out.
Benny's jaw dropped. "You gotta be shitting me." He gaped. Mark shook his head. "You got a boyfriend?"
"Her name is Gwen…well…Gavin…but she goes under Gwen." Mark explained. "Gwen's a drag queen."
"Ok…this is awkward…uh…I guess I'll see you around man…" Benny walked down a set of stairs to the subway.
Mark watched him. "See ya…" He rolled his eyes and laughed. He walked towards Gwen's apartment; before he reached it he stopped and picked a tulip for Gwen. Then he walked into familiar abode- Gwen had given him a set of keys- and he went into her apartment.
Gwen was fast asleep on the sofa, Mark assumed she tried to wait up for him. He quietly shut the door and slid off his shoes before walking over to the couch. He knelt next to Gwen and kissed her cheek. She shifted slightly, and her wig fell off. She opened her eyes and looked at Mark.
"Hi baby…" Mark said softly. "I'm home…"
"Where have you been? It's so late…" She yawned.
"Nothing important…I was just out with Roger and Jesse…come on…let's go to bed honey…" Mark picked Gwen up- she was surprisingly light.
Mark carried her into the bedroom and put her on the bed. She shifted into a comfortable position and curled up in the comforter. Mark climbed into bed as well, not bothering to fight Gwen for the blanket. He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her neck. The famous Gwen Giggle escaped her and she turned around and kissed him.
"Night honey." Mark said kissing her once more.
"Good night babe." Gwen snuggled up next to him and quickly fell asleep.
Mark lay away for a while. He lost track of time and didn't care. Everything was so stressful- between Collins party, and Collins himself and his condition…nothing seemed to be looking up. He was just glad he and Gwen were back to normal...he was afraid she was angry with him for being out so often. Thankfully Collins' party was only a week away and he'd be able to explain to Gwen about his absences that he couldn't explain. Finally he fell asleep.
MEANWHILE
Roger finally left the café around midnight. He walked briskly up the street, for some reason he just wanted to piss off Mimi. He decided to noisily barge into her apartment, flop down onto the bed and move around until she finally lost it and yelled at him.
When he reached the apartment, a nervous-looking Mimi ran out before he even walked into the building. She ran over to him and hugged him. "Where the hell have you been?" She asked.
"Obviously not here…why?" Roger asked.
Mimi rolled her eyes. "Jesse came home a while ago…and when you weren't with him I got nervous." Mimi hugged Roger again.
"Well I'm home now Mom." Roger said sarcastically.
"Oh fuck you!" Mimi pushed him. Roger smirked.
"A dominatrix? Ohhhh…I think I like your abusiveness." Roger said pulling Mimi into a passionate kiss.
Does he now? Mimi deepened her kiss and raised her knee to his crotch…hard. Roger pulled away and sunk to the ground.
"What the fuck was that for?" He asked, his voice a noticeable octave higher.
"You said you liked my abusiveness." She flipped her hair and strutted back into the building.
"I said I think I like it!" Roger called after her, holding himself. I love this woman.
