A Shocking Truth

Mark and I stayed wrapped in each other's arms for most of the morning. At first I thought he was going to pull what he did last time and try to back out of this relationship, but he didn't. Instead, we just talked about the night before and how epic it was.

"Man I never thought you would end up fighting that woman." He said. "I was shocked at how well you handled yourself."

I giggled as I traced his stomach with my fingertips. "I really don't know what happened there Mark…I mean I don't even know my mother and yet I still felt like defending her was the right thing to do you know?"

"Yea I hear ya Kitty. I would have did the same thing for my mom." He said.

I smiled and looked up at him, "That's because you're a good man."

He chuckled, "I don't know about that Kitty…good men don't seduce their goddaughters."

"I wouldn't consider it seduction Mark…especially when I was so willing to go through with it both times."

He laughed and pulled me closer to his body, "That's very true Kat…you know I love you right?"

I smiled, "Yes."

"Do you love me?" he asked, looking up at the ceiling.

"More than anything," I said.

He smiled, "Ok, so if I were to ask you to move away with me…would you go?"

I sat up while holding the sheets against my chest. "Are you seriously thinking about moving?"

"Yes. As soon as we figure out what's been happening with your father, I want to take you and Lexi and leave."

"Where would we go?" I asked as he rubbed my back, relaxing me a little. I loved how his touch did that to me.

"I haven't decided yet, but I promise it'll be somewhere where we can't be bothered."

I loved the sound of that but I wondered how it would truly affect me and Lexi. Then again, I did love Mark and I was sure he would keep us safe from harm.

I turned around to him slowly with a smile.

"So what do you say sweetie? Will you go with me?" he asked.

I thought about it for a moment before making my final decision. "Yes Mark…yes I will."

He smiled and then sat up. We locked eyes for a moment before he cracked a sexy smile. "That makes me so happy to hear you say that Kitty."

I licked my lips, "I couldn't help but say yes Mark…you've done so much for me and Lexi."

He smiled and then gently kissed me. The very warmth of his lips sent chills down my spine. Man I could get use to this.

"I think we should get dressed Mark. We've been lying here all morning." I told him.

He laughed, "True…what do you say we get a shower so we can go get Lexi from Glenn's house."

I nodded, "Ok then,"

He kissed me once more before taking my hand and leading me to the bathroom in my room. While were in there, he pinned me against the wall proceeded to make love to me. There was something about him that I simply couldn't resist. Was it his body? Maybe…or was it his passion for loving me that had me head over heels for him? I didn't know but I was happy as a bird being with him, even if it was in secret.

After our romantic shower, we headed over to Glenn's house where I was greeted by my little sister. She giggled and reached out for me from the play pin.

"Hi baby, how are you?" I asked her.

She clapped her hands and then laid her head on my chest. "Awe tired already?"

Glenn laughed, "Oh she probably is. She was up most of the night playing with me and Rayne."

Mark laughed, "Yea that does explain a lot. Anyways where is your girl? She's like never here when I show up."

Glenn shrugged, "You know women…they are always out getting their hair done or something else."

Mark nodded, "Oh. Ok well thanks so much for watching Lexi. Call me sometime man, you like never call anymore."

"I know man, I'll try to call more often. You know how marriage is."

"Actually I don't anymore…but I know how you feel." Mark said, "Anyways we've got to get going. Her father and I have a long talk ahead of us."

Glenn laughed, "I hear ya, well I'll see ya later."

We nodded and headed for the door. As soon as Mark opened the front door…we came face to face with a tall blonde haired woman with hazel eyes and tan skin. She reminded me a lot of a Barbie doll. She didn't really look like anyone I was familiar with but the reaction on Mark's face told me an entire different story.

He looked extremely shocked to see this woman and she looked just as shocked. I just stared at both of them as they looked at each other in silence. Glenn finally broke the silence, stepping in front of Mark.

"Mark wait…I can explain." He said

Mark shook his head, "No need to explain…I can see why you've been hiding your wife from everyone, including John Cena."

I looked at Mark a little confused, "What do you mean Mark?"

He glanced at me and then at the woman standing before us, "I don't know, why don't you tell her…Torrie."

I gasped and looked at her in shock. "Torrie? You mean my mother?"

She sighed and then looked at me, "Hello Katrina…I'm so sorry you had to meet me like this…"

Mark shook his head, "Kat let's go."

"Mark hold on, we can explain." Glenn said as Mark led me out of the house.

"There is no need to Glenn! You knew she was alive the entire time and you knew this girl needed her mother."

Torrie sighed, "I didn't know that John was acting like a fool Mark, and you knew I couldn't take care of Katrina or Lexi."

"Wait a minute…Lexi is yours too?" I asked. "So the other child you spoke of in that letter…was me?"

She sniffled, "I'm sorry Kat."

I shook my head, "Wow…you abandoned us so you could be with Glenn…I can't believe you!"

She went to step towards me but I shook my head and ran for the truck with Lexi tight in my arms. "Just forget it! You're just like my father! Choosing someone else over your true responsibilities!"

"Katrina and Mark please don't go!" she cried.

I sighed and got into the truck followed by Mark. I was so done with my parents that I was ready to pack my bags and leave with Mark that night. Mark too even looked outraged. I could tell it was taking a lot for him not to drive like a bat out of hell. I couldn't believe how all of this was unfolding…I just hoped it would get better in the end.
