Hi everybody and sorry it's taken me so looooong to post new chapters, I've been so busy with school and everything. But here's chapter 5, enjoy!
Chapter 5
Angela woke up the next morning around 9 o'clock. She got out of the bed quietly so Mark wouldn't wake up. She was getting dressed when she heard Mark.
"Good morning Angel. You weren't thinkin' about sneakin' out on me, were you?" he said with a little frown.
"Hmm... good morning." Angela said. "Well, actually I think I should go." she said putting on her top.
Mark got up from the bed and walked over to her.
"But I don't want you to go." he said and pulled her into his arms. "And I can't let you go without having any breakfast." he said and smiled to her.
"Well, I am a bit hungry." Angela said.
"Ok, good. Why don't you take those clothes off and go take a shower while I'll order us something to eat, ok?" Mark asked.
"Ok, thanks. I could use a shower." Angela said and headed to the bathroom.
"There's clean towels in the bathroom, what do you wanna eat?" Mark shouted after her.
"I'll just have some toast and tea, thanks." Angela replied.
"Yeah right." Mark mumbled and ordered them both big breakfast with eggs, bacon, coffee, tea, orange juice and toast.
"What the hell happened last night?" Angela was thinking to herself in the shower. "I actually hooked up with The Undertaker! I don't believe this." she thought. "What the hell's gonna happen now? Get a grip girl, nothing's gonna happen. After your sorry ass is out the door, he'll forget he ever met you."
"Whatever." she said and shrugged and got out of the shower.
There was a knock on the bathroom door.
"Yeah?" Angela asked.
"Yeah, I just wanted to give you something I thought you might need." Mark said.
"Oh okay." Angela said and opened the door.
"Here." Mark said and handed her a toothbrush.
"Ha-ha. Thanks. Where did you get this?" Angela said laughing.
"Oh, I told the room service to bring it up." Mark said. "Oh, and the breakfast is here."
"Ok, I'll just brush my teeth and I'm done." Angela said.
"Ok, I'm gonna take a shower now too. You don't mind do you?" Mark asked with a smirk.
"Umm… no I don't, go ahead." Angela said.
Mark went to the shower and Angela looked at him from the mirror, thinking "Yummy".
"So, you didn't get enough of this last night?" Mark asked with a smirk when he caught Angela staring at him from the mirror.
"Shit." Angela said in her head. "Well, there's so much there to look at." she said with a flirty tone.
"Now, what the hell was that?" she asked herself a bit confused about her feelings.
"Well, why don't you join me?" Mark asked looking at Angela like she wasn't wearing the towel.
"I really should just eat and go." Angela said quickly.
She really didn't know what was going on. On one hand she wanted to stay, but on the other hand she didn't think Mark had any long term thing in mind. She went to get dressed and started eating the breakfast.
Mark sighed and shook his head and finished his shower.
"How's the breakfast?" he asked Angela while getting dressed.
"It's ok. And there's plenty of it." she replied and motioned Mark to join her.
They were eating and there was an uncomfortable silence while they were trying to think what the other one was thinking. Finally Angela broke the silence when she realized she has work to do at the garage.
"Oh man, what time it is?" she asked Mark and tried to look for a clock.
"Umm… it's 10.30. Damn, could it be that much already?" Mark said and checked the time on his cell phone. It was the same. "Yeah, it's 10.30." he said again.
"Jesus!" Angela yelled. "I had to be at the garage at ten." she said, now really worried about what Johnny was thinking.
She started to get ready to leave when Mark got up and went to her. He pulled her in his arms and hugged her and then he stepped back so he could see her eyes. They were filled with confusion.
"Are you really gonna go to the garage today?" Are you sure you wanna see Johnny after all that happened last night?" Mark asked her, afraid that she'd just leave and he'd never see her again.
Angela looked into Mark's green eyes thinking "No I really don't wanna see Johnny right now, I'd much rather stay here with you." But she couldn't say that out loud.
"I have to go. I got Mack's bike there. I've been working on it for a while and he's gonna be pissed if it's not done soon." she said.
"Are you just saying that to get the hell out of here, or do you really have to go to work?" Mark asked feeling a bit hurt thinking she didn't wanna be there with him.
"Why did you ask that?" Angela asked surprised and continued: "Yes I really have to go to work. Do you think that I would still be here if I didn't want to?" she asked him, and then mentally kicked herself for letting him know she wanted to stay.
"So, you do wanna stay here." Mark said with a smirk.
Angela slapped his arm and made him a face.
"Ha hah." Mark laughed. "It's okay if you wanna stay. I want you to stay." he said looking deeply into her eyes.
Angela didn't know what to say or do. All she knew was that Mack's bike has got to be done today.
"I have a flight to Colorado at eight tonight, and I was thinking that I'd really like to see you again. Could we meet somewhere before I leave?" he asked with a soft voice.
"Oh, ummm… I, I'd like to see you too, but I don't know if I can do that. I mean, I have to work and then there's Johnny and…" she was interrupted by a kiss.
Mark couldn't just look at those lips moving, he had to kiss them. He kissed her gently but after she responded to it he deepened the kiss.
They were interrupted by a hard knock on the door.
"Oh, what the hell…" Mark growled.
"Hey Mark, you in there?" a man yelled thru the door.
"Oh shit." Mark said. "I was supposed to meet Glenn at the gym like an hour ago. I'll get rid of him." he said and went to the door.
"No wait." Angela said. "He can't see me." she said scared that someone would know where she spent the night.
"What?" Mark asked confused. And before he could say anything, Angela ran hiding in the bathroom.
"Strange girl." he said to himself and answered the door.
"Now what the hell's the matter with you man? I've been waiting for you for an hour." a big bald man yelled at Mark the second he opened the door.
"Well, good morning to you too and it's nice to see you too Glenn." Mark said trying to be funny, but Glenn wasn't laughing.
"That's not funny man. I thought something's happened." Glenn said.
Mark grinned, "Oh something's happened alright." he thought to himself.
Glenn noticed the grin and looked around the room. The bed was a mess, like two people had slept in it, there was breakfast for two. That was all Glenn needed to figure out what had kept Mark.
"Oh, I get it." Glenn said with a wide smile. "You hooked up with someone last night, didn't you?" he asked. "Was it some old fling, is that why you wanted to go out alone? You were meeting someone?" Glenn asked with a teasing tone in his voice and slapping Mark on his shoulder. "Good for you man. You've been so miserable again lately."
"Oh shut up man." Mark said to Glenn. "It's nothing like that, and I don't wanna talk about it now." he said seriously.
"Aah, so she's still here, huh?" Glenn asked and looked at the bathroom door. "Well, let's see what's behind door number two." he said and started to the bathroom door.
"Don't go there." Mark stopped him standing in front of the door.
"Come on man." Glenn said surprised by Mark's action.
"You'll meet her when she wants to. Well, depending if she still wants to see me." Mark said looking down.
"What did you do then?" Glenn asked.
"I didn't do anything, it's just that I really like her but I don't know what she thinks of all this." Mark said walking away from the bathroom door with Glenn. "And that's not all, she's a lot younger than me and she's got a boyfriend." Mark said sadly.
"Wow." Glenn said realizing that Mark was serious, he haven't talked like that about a woman for a long time. "Okay, well I'm out of here. The plane leaves at eight so if you still want to hit the gym or whatever, give me a call, ok?" Glenn said and started to the door.
"Ok." Mark said. "And thanks man, I'm sorry I forgot the gym, but…"
"It's ok. I understand. And don't worry, I won't tell anyone you're seeing somebody else's girlfriend." Glenn interrupted him.
"Oh, the guy, he's not anybody I know, is it?" Glenn asked. "And the girl. You said she's much younger than you. She's still legal right?" Glenn asked truly concerned.
"Yes she's legal and no you don't know the guy." Mark said and laughed. "See you later bro." he continued.
"Yeah, later." Glenn said and went out the door and Mark closed it after him.
"I really hope she didn't hear too much of that." Mark said to himself and went to the bathroom door. "It's okay to come out. He's gone." he said thru the door to Angela.
"Yeah, I really have to go now." she said storming out of the bathroom, not even looking at Mark.
"Hey, are you alright?" he asked grabbing Angela's arm.
"Let me go." she said with anger in her voice and she got off of Mark's grasp.
"Take it easy, I'm sorry." Mark said. "So, you heard what Glenn said, huh?" he asked. "Don't make any note of what he said. He has no idea what he was talking about." Mark tried to calm her down.
"Oh so you didn't go to the bar just to get some action then?" Angela asked sarcastically.
"No I didn't. Seriously." Mark said serious. "I just went there alone, 'cause I wanted to be alone. There's just all these things going on in my life and everything." he said with a sigh.
"Oh, okay." Angela said feeling bad that she had snapped at him like that. "Look, I'm sorry but I really have to go now." Angela said looking at Mark's eyes.
"Okay, let me give you a ride. I've got a rental." he said
"No!" Angela almost yelled. "I mean, it's ok, I'll take a cab." she said and smiled at him.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yes, don't worry about it." she said.
"Alright. Before you go, can I have your phone number so I can call you?" Mark asked.
"Why would you call?" Angela asked surprised.
"Why? Why not?" Mark said. "In case you haven't noticed, I happen to like you, a lot. And I'd like to keep in touch. I wanna know how you're doing." he said looking into her eyes. He could see the icy look in them was starting to melt.
"Ok, here's my cell phone number." Angela said writing the number down on a piece of paper.
"I will hold this dear." Mark said taking the piece of paper, holding it to his heart.
Angela rolled her eyes and slapped Mark's arm.
"Ouch." he said rubbing his arm trying to look hurt. "You will answer when I call, right?" Mark asked looking at Angela.
"Maybe." she answered with a flirty smile.
"Maybe?" Mark asked trying to look offended.
"Yeah, and if I got your number I'd know it's you. Or if I'm working I usually don't answer." she said.
"Ok, here's my cell phone number." Mark said and gave her his number.
"Now I really have to go. I'm so late." Angela said.
"Ok. Come here." Mark said and swooped her into a deep kiss. "I'm gonna miss you my Angel." Mark said and looked deep into her eyes. "I will call you. Bye my Angel." he said.
"I will answer you." Angela said with a smile. "Bye."
Angela went out the door and walked to the elevator. In the elevator she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
"What the hell's going on?" she asked herself while pressing the button.
"Damn she's a beautiful girl. Troubled, but interesting." Mark said while closing the door. After awhile he called to Glenn and they now went to the gym.
