CHAPTER 12
Mark watched as she reset the trap, his mind reeling and then jumping into action.
"Lily, I have some shotguns in the gun rack, I'll get 'em set up for us" Mark didn't wait for an answer merely went to work.
The girl was clever, he had inspected the traps, each one would do enough damage to take the guy out but leave him alive to suffer. She was prepared that was for sure. He prepared the guns and watched as Lily disabled the front door's taser, she carefully unhooked it and opened the door to let in the now waiting Vince, Ashley and Maria. The girls squealed and hugged Lily as she tried to re-hook the door.
"Girls please don't, not right now" Mark stated noticing Lily's frustrated face.
They stopped and stood with Vince as Lily turned to face them, she had Blood on her clothes, dirt and dried blood on her face and hands.
"Not mine" she said noting their looks.
"Vince, we need you to take the girls upstairs, keep them in one rooms with you, being here has out you in danger. Mark and I will handle the people coming…we know they are coming…BUT no matter what you hear DO NOT come downstairs or try to help" Lily ushered them upstairs, she could use a hand, but only a hand who knew how to handle a weapon. She would have to build a bridge in regards to keeping mark away…he wouldn't budge no matter what.
----
Hours had passed, she knew they would wait until tonight…they needed information from the first idiot. Mark had ordered her to sleep telling her he would keep his ears and eyes open for any hint of danger, and reluctantly she had fallen into a restless sleep.
She awoke to someone pushing her shoulder, glancing up her eyes met Marks and for a brief moment she wished that he would just lean down a kiss her like he used to do.
"It's 5pm, thought you might want to get in some food before they came" Mark handed her a coffee and picked up a bowl of fresh fruit giving it to her.
"Thanks, get some sleep…I doubt they'll risk it all in broad daylight…" she replied with a meek smile
Mark took a seat in his recliner and lay back; he would get some rest so he could watch out for her tonight.
----
Lily trudged upstairs with a tray of food and water heading for the spare room. She opened the door and smiled weakly at Vince who was sitting in the corner chair reading a bunch of papers.
"I bought some snacks, I'm sorry about being so Abrupt before I wasn't expecting you guys and when I found out you were coming it freaked me out, I don't want anyone getting hurt but me if possible." She admitted
"We don't want you hurt at all" Vince stated calmly
"This is something that MUST go down; I want it to be over. So far no one but the bad guys have been hurt…please tell the girls when they wake that I'm sorry for leaving before and that when this is finished…I want to remain friends" Lily smiled a little and left the room.
----
Night came fairly quickly and lily found herself waking mark up, he was dead to the world and she had no idea what to do if he did wake up soon. Every other time she woke him up, they were together and she could kiss him, he usually woke to that.
"Fuck it" she leant down and placed her hand on his chest, her lips brushed his and he shifted a little.
She moved in again and pressed her lips to his firmly, trying to resist the urge to go any further. She felt his hands creep up her back and one entangle itself in her hair. She knew she was getting in too deep before s really bad situation; she'd need to be focused. But hell she couldn't stop; she had missed him the few days they were apart.
She pulled back reluctantly and looked at mark worried, "Sorry, I know you didn't…but I couldn't…and I needed to wake you and I was…" she stumbled for words and sighed.
"If I didn't want it darling I wouldn't have kissed ya back" Mark smiled. Things were going to be easier for him, he had come to the conclusion that being with her before they went up against the asshole men, was better than not being with her if she or he happened to die during the fight.
"Lily, I been thinking, a lot. Before I went to sleep I thought about us and how I missed it…" Mark confessed
"Mark, I want to put this behind us…try again…I'd rather go out knowing I was with you and happy then go out knowing I should have said something. I know you'll have to get to know me all over again" Lily smiled at him.
Mark was thrilled, he would take time to get to know here again…all the time being off the market and a happy man, all they had to do was get through tonight.
----
The time came and Lily saw the three men from a mile away, walking casually down the drive way, idiots. She knew they would go all egomaniac when it came to this; the invincible men, or so they believed.
She grabbed a shot gun as did mark and they double checked all the traps, and made sure that the doors upstairs were locked up and Vince and the girls were safe. It was going to be an interesting night to say the least.
