Here's your update!

A month had past and I was still feeling a little weird around Mark. I knew that I couldn't say anything about it to my mom because I did want her to be happy and she was happy. I mean her and Mark went out three times a week and I was really starting to miss her. She was staying in tonight because Mark had to go out of town for a business trip. I was secretly happy because I was finally going to spend time with my mom.

After school let out I went to the video store to pick up a couple of movies, all romantic comedies. I also picked up some snacks to go along with it.

"Hey, mom!" I said walking into the house. I put my stuff down and went into the kitchen to see her with him.

"Hi, sweetie." My mom said.

"Hi, Gabriella." He said also.

"I thought that you were going to be out of town?" I asked frowning my face.

"Well, it canceled at the last minute so… I decided to come over." He said kissing my mom on the cheek.

"I'm cooking dinner tonight, you know since we haven't really sat down together. It's a chance for you to get to know Mark better." She said smiling.

"Yes, I would love to get to know you better." He said smiling and his smile once again freaked me out.

"Mom I was hoping that we could hang out tonight. You know like a girl's night. I picked up movies and a bunch of junk food." I said with a hint of disappointment in my voice.

"Could we do it another time?" She asked.

"Sure." I sighed.

"Great! Why don't you get started on your homework and by the time you finish dinner should be ready." She said.

"Alright." I said going upstairs to my room. I worked on my homework until, of course, my mom called me downstairs. I really didn't want to have dinner with him, but if it makes her happy.

"We're having your favorite tonight, Gabriella: baked chicken, macaroni, and broccoli." Mom said setting a plate at my spot and one in front of Mark.

"Yum. This looks absolutely delicious mom." I said taking my seat.

"Yes, it does." Mark said cutting up his chicken. We had begun eating and it was silent for a while and then Mark broke it.

"So, Gabriella? Your mom tells me that you do musical theatre at school." Mark said taking a bite of his chicken

"Yeah, my boyfriend and I usually do them together." I said not looking at him.

"Her and Troy sound amazing together. You should have seen them in Twinkle Town it was really good." My mom said smiling.

"Mom, please." I said a little annoyed.

"Oh, honey! Why don't you sing something for him?" She asked.

"Yes, please. I would love tohear you." He said. For the second time that night I was freaked out.

"I don't think so." I said.

"Fine." She said taking a sip of her drink.

After dinner I went upstairs to my room and laid on my bed with my laptop in front of me. I was surfing the net for quite awhile, just looking at nothing, when I saw Mark standing in my doorway. I jumped a bit startled and he just laughed.

"I don't bite." He said still standing in the doorway.

"I'm not so sure about that," I said to myself.

"Um… not to be rude but what are you doing in my room?" I said.

"I just came from the bathroom and I just wanted to see what you were doing." He said walking in my room, without permission. "So what are you doing?"

"I'm just reading…" I said slowly as he walked over towards me.

"May I see." He asked.

"Sure." I said, whatever to get him out of my room quicker.

He leaned over my shoulder to look at the screen. I scooted away because he was a little too close. I could have sworn that he smelled my hair and I got freaked out once again. So I faked a yawn.

"I'm getting tired. I need rest for school tomorrow." I said shutting the laptop off and hopped off of the bed.

"Ok. I'll see you soon." He said once again giving me that smile and he disappeared downstairs. I shut my door all the way this time and then went to sleep with a sickening feeling.

A/N: Ok, so what did you think? This is one of my better chapters. Mark is one creepy guy. I know for some of you that this is going a bit slow but I just want to take my time with it and not rush it. Well, please review. I really enjoy them!
