Risley rolled over and snuggled her self up against Mark. He felt warm against her cool skin. He moans a bit and draped his arm around her body. He snuggled his face into her hair and took a deep breath. He knew that this week went by to fast. He gently walked his fingers against her stomach. Mark began to think of all the ups and down this week brought them and he just smiled and could not imagine doing this with anyone else. Risley kissed his arm softly as Mark leaned onto his side and kissed her softly as he pulled the covers over them. He knew that this was going to push the time limit until the servants came in. Risley gently nibbled on his ear and giggled a little at him as he pushed into her hip.
"Your such a tease" He whispered to her which made her laugh even more. She slides her hands around his body as she gently kissed his chest a bit gently biting and licking her way as she wiggled her way down. "Ris" He barely spoke her name forgetting everything as the exciting build between them. Risley gently slides between Mark's thighs as she gently licked and began to please him.
The doors of his bedroom open and Joe walked in. "Good Morning Sir and Ma'am" He announced and Risley pulled away and Mark pulled her up towards the pillow.
"Good Morning Joe," Mark said and gently kiss Risley. "Can we meet you in the kitchen area in a few minutes?"
"Yes Sir," Joe said and pulled the door closed behind him.
Mark kissed Risley again as he tried to get her back into the moment. "Mark, we should go get a shower." She played with his hand and finally, they made their way into the shower.
Mark walked out of the bedroom closing up his shirt and closed the door behind him. He walked over to the kitchen, and he grabbed a cup of coffee and sat down with all the papers in front of him. Joe took a seat next to him and they started to go through the papers. " I have to say maybe mother was right." He finally said and pushed the papers to the side.
"Talking about your mother, I received word that she is very pleased with Risley," Joe said with a smile.
Mark paused a bit and then looked at Joe "Yes that is a good thing, but it is sad this is the last night."
"Why not just ask her to stay?' Joe said and knew that Mark wanted too, but had doubts in his mind "She has done and said everything perfect"
Risley opens the door slowly and walked out. She wore a cute sundress in a light blue color along with a white cardigan on top. She wore white flats to complete the look. She grabbed her self-something to nibble on and sat down on the other side of Mark. "Good Morning Joe," she said as she smiled at him.
"Good Morning Ma'am, I was just telling Mark that mother is so very proud of you" He beamed from ear to ear.
"That is really good news "She paused "Right?" She looked at Mark.
"Yes, Yes," He said and placed the paper down next to Joe. "So, tonight I have a surprise for you, but first we will on engagement and then an early dinner before your surprise."
"Thank you," Risley said and honestly meant it. She smiled and rubbed his hand softly. Mark looked over at her and smiled a little. Joe took noticed that Mark was acting different and did not understand why. He knew that Risley did everything right and wondered if that was something that bother Mark. Mark started to talk to Joe about things that he needed to get done and Risley took the queue to let the two of them alone"
Risley walked into the balcony and took her cell phone. She decided this would be a good time to call Evelyn. She started to talk to Evelyn about everything that has been happening. The girls laughed and giggled as she sat down in the chair and Evelyn asked: "So, are you really coming home?"
"Yeah, I am hoping to come back here honestly, because Mark is here"
"But if things are so well why not just stay?"
"Evelyn, He never asked me and my whole life is back with you guys"
"Ris, just go with the flow after all your the one that faith into the universe."
"I wish the universe would just give me a sign" Risley laughed and closed her eyes as she faced the sun.
"Ris, its time to go" Mark stood at the door and watched her.
"Evelyn I have to go. I will call you when I land tomorrow" Risley said and ended the phone conversation. Mark reached out his hand and Risley took it. She kissed him softly. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, why would I not be... I have you" He smiled and Risley smiled at him and laid her head on his shoulder. He kissed her forehead and the two started to walk out of the apartment to the car. The three of them sat in the back of the car and Risley continued to lay her head on his shoulder. She wanted to take in each moment that she had left with Mark. She wrapped her hand around his arm and Joe could see how much she really did care about Mark.
The three of them pulled up to the event and Joe got out first and held the door to Mark and then Risley. The cameras flashed over and over at the couple as Risley looked up to Mark and he looked down at her and kissed her cheek softly. She smiled and blushed as the camera continue to flash away. He took her hand and made their way into the event.
Finally, the two of them sat at a table with each other as they poured themselves over the menu for dinner. Risley rubbing her foot again his leg and giggled each time he looked up at her. "Come on play a little bit" She teased him. Mark smiled and reached up to her cheek and she laid her head against him.
"Your such a tease" He mouthed softly to her and she smiled.
"Can you image life like this?" She asked softly and Mark looked at her and did not respond. She was not sure what was happening. The waiter interrupted them to take their orders. The two were quiet and she stared out the window. Risley knew she was falling for Mark more and more every day she was with him. She started to wonder if she was going to be hurting tomorrow when she had to leave him and go back. "So," She interrupted the silence between the two.
"Ris," Mark looked at her and held her hand. She smiled at him waiting for the next word to come out. Mark stopped talking and his mind began to race. He has no idea on how to explain or even start to explain his random thoughts, and how he believed he was always going to be alone. He wants to tell Risley so much, but something inside of him is stopping him.
"You okay?" Risley said softly as she brought him back to the moment that they were sharing.
"Nothing," He said and smiled at her. " I hope you enjoy your surprise tonight."
"Thank you for whatever it is. I am sure I will enjoy it as long as you are with me" Risley smiled and then scolded her self for saying something that made her self-sound so needy.
Dinner was served and the two had a light conversation with each other. They both noticed the other patrons in the restaurant kept a close eye on them and how they interacted towards each other. Risley started to notice that this life that she enjoyed because Mark would also be shown on the biggest stage the world 24/7. They would not have many moments out in public alone.
Joe noticed that something was wrong between Mark and Risley. He was not sure what it was but had a feeling they both needed some time alone away from the public. He knew that since mother gave the order the week was filled with tons of engagements. It was getting the citizens to start to bond and love the 'younger generation' and softer side of the royals, but Joe knew that everything comes at a price.
Dinner was almost over and Risley looked at Mark "What happens after tomorrow?"
"I don't know" was the only thing that Mark said and looked at Risley.
"I want to know what path this leads us," Risley said and Mark nodded and called for the check. The two got up and Mark was a complete gentleman and took Risley hand as they left the restaurant and got into the car. Joe got into the car. "Mark" Risley broke the silence again "Can you please talk to me about what you are thinking?"
"Its nothing for you to worry about"
"But I want to share your worries" Risley put her hand on his hand and he just sat in silence. Risley knew then that she needed to prepare her self that Mark might hurt her heart tomorrow. Risley looked at Joe and he just looked away since it was not his position to say anything.
"Sir, we are here," Joe said as the car prepared to stop. Mark then Risley got out of the car and the paparazzi were right there taking pictures of the two of them. Mark leaned down and whispered into Risley's ear and she smiled at him and giggled. The two finally walked into the building hand and hand. The two of them were taken to their seats. Risley was exciting to see what Mark had planned. The crowd of people behind them as she held his hand and leaned into him.
Finally, the show started and Risley turned towards Mark "Oh my John Legend" She gushed to him and he smiled and kissed her softly and smiled. Mark enjoyed showing her everything and how appreciative she was for every gift big or small. As the concert continued on its way the song 'All of Me' played and Risley could not help, but sing along to the song and play with Mark. She finally got Mark up and they started to dance in the middle of the crowd another people started to do the same thing. The paparazzi were eating it up taking pictures of the two of them and how much influence they had with everyone around them.
