Chapter 3

The rain was still pouring down as Mark drove to the Archfield, the further he's driving away from Lexie, the further his mind was still on what she had said to him. I didn't come to you for an itch, I came to you because I realized that I like you.... you scarred my heart last night with your touch, your kisses.... you made love to me last night....

She's right, I made love to her last night, I didn't fuck her like I used to with other women. I knew that it would be only the one night. But why when the woman that I have been longing for, for weeks now, just told me that she wants me and I walked away from her???

Dammit. He thought, hitting the wheel at the same time. Parking his car and turning off the ignition, Mark's mind went to Lexie again. He can't get her out of his mind. Mark stop thinking about her she's off limits, besides Derek simply asked me to not sleep with her because he knew that sooner or later that I would hurt her in the end. And that's what I did, I hurt her. Once again Derek was right, I left her soaking wet in the rain.
Mark stepped out of his car and heads towards his hotel entrance.

While Mark was going to take the elevator, the same time Lexie was still in the rain. Her mind was still on what just happened between Mark and herself. He left me just like that in the rain. Maybe I did read too much into it, maybe he's right, I saw more that I should have. But I can't help myself, my body aches from that man, from his touch, his kisses, but also from the after glow. We've talked , for hours for god's sake, he cuddled me, he really wants me to believe that it's a one night stand. I can't, I won't give up, I won't give this little happiness that I've had with him up. no not without a fight. And with that Lexie decided to go to the Archfield and talk to Mark one more time.

Mark was already in his room, his leather jacket off and a single malt scotch in his hands, sat on his couch and still wondering about what happened in the elevator.

While he was in the elevator a beautiful blond woman engaged the conversation
"Hi there"

Mark was so much in his thoughts that he didn't notice her presence
"mm Good evening"

" my name is Elizabeth, I'm on the 10th floor and you are ???"

"I am on top" way to go Mark, think before you talk. now the woman is gonna think that you want something more with her.

"well I'd like if you were on top of me"

" Well I don't think that's a good idea you're beautiful and everything but..

" you are already taken???"

"Not really"

"well what's stopping you from doing this baby??"

"let's just say that I don't want too and I am not in the mood. have a good night" and He stepped out of the elevator, even though it's wasn't his floor and decided to ride an elevator alone because he needed some time alone

I blew a beautiful woman off. She basically invited me to her room. But I turned her down why??? Usually I would say yes to a woman throwing themselves at me, but this time I said no. I Gotta admit the woman was attractive, curvy body, long hair , blue eyes but she wasn't Lexie. She didn't have her silky hair, her deep brown eyes, her porcelain skin and of course her lips which I find so kissable .Dammit I am more into Lexie Grey than I thought I was. But I have to let her go for her own sake.

As Mark was standing to get a refill, he heard a knock at his door.
When he opened the door he didn't expect to find Lexie there. Like last night, Lexie got past him and entered his room without his invitation.
She turned around and faced him.

"Lexie what are you doing here?? we've already talked about this. you should go home "

Even soaking wet, she's still was beautiful. Mark thought

"You left me in the rain, you walked away from me even though I screamed, I cried out your name. you didn't even turn around . you kept walking. But even with what you put me through tonight I'm still here. I'm standing here with my heart in my hands. I know you want me and I want you. so don't tell that last night was a mistake, don't tell me that it was just a good fuck because we both know that it wasn't." Lexie spoke

Mark was still speechless, he didn't know what to say or to do.

"I am asking you to let me in here, to stop running away every time you care about someone. Don't shut me out Mark."
as she was saying this, she walked up to him and caressed his cheeks and looked straight in his eyes.

Mark was savouring her touch, looking at her too. Mark why you are still fighting, she's here and that's all you've been asking for.

Seeing that Mark wasn't saying anything she stepped out and said
"Well you haven't said anything since I got here. Maybe it was a bad idea, I shouldn't have came here. Maybe it was a mistake. you know I should get going and leave this, what happened between us behind"

As she was at the door, ready to turn the doorknob, Mark came up behind her, put his hand on hers and whispered " Please, don't go".
