Mark's Date

"Courtney!" Mark called dodging a bunch of people walkking in the halls of the high school.

Courtney was walking to her locker. She stopped when she heard Mark's voice.

Mark ran past a group of students to her.

"Hey, Mark." Courtney said.

Mark smiled weakly. "Uh-oh. Bad dad today?" He asked.

Courtney shrugged. "I was. But now I am not." She said.

Mark smiled. "Well. I wanted to know if you wanted to eat dinner with me tonight? I would like to take you out." He asked with his confidence high.

Courtney smiled brightly. "Sure." She answered quietly.

Mark smiled and hugged her. "Thanks C.C. I'll call you later. I'll pick you up at six." He said.

Courtney let him go. "Okay. I'll be looking forward to it. Bye." Mark ran off.

Mark breathed in deeply and looked into the mirror over Bobby's desk.

"Calm down, man. You look fine. Courtney isn't known for blowing off guys just because of their looks. She digs you. So, don't mess it up." Bobby said and got off his bed as there was a knock on his bedroom door.

Bobby opened the door.

"Loor. What's wrong?" Bobby asked seeing the tired and worried look on Loor's face.

Loor shook her head. "Nothing. Umm, Mark. Courtney is downstairs. She needs to talk to you." She said.

Mark looked at Bobby worriedly. He walked out of the room.

"Are you sure you are okay? You just called Courtney by her first name." Bobby asked while motioning Loor to come into his room.

Loor shook her head. "It is a long story. I just want to sit with you." She said and walked in.

Bobby sat on his bed. "Okay. Come on. I'll make you feel better." He said. Loor smiled and sat on the bed next to him. Bobby put his arm around her shoulders and she put her head on his shoulder.

Mark ran down the stairs while buttoning his shirt.

Courney was sitting on the couch talking to Aja and Spader.

"Courtney? What are you doing here? I thought I was supposed to pick you up." Mark asked while walking over to Courtney.

Courtney smiled at him and stood up.

"I couldn't wait to see you. I wanted to see you real bad." She whispered and put her arms around his neck.

Mark froze. He wasn't expecting that.

His shirt was still only half buttoned up. He fiddled with the buttons until Courtney pushed his hands down.

"Let me help you." Courtney whispered. She finished buttoning his shirt for him.

"Thank you. I will go back upstairs and finish getting ready. We can leave in a few minutes." Mark said. He pulled away to walk up the stairs but Courtney grabbed his hand.

"You look perfect. Let's go now." Courtney insisted.

Mark smiled slightly.

"Okay." Mark pulled Courtney out the door. "I can't drive so we will have to walk." He explained.

Courtney shook her head. "That is okay." She said quietly.

Mark's hand sought hers. He finally found it and held it.

Courtney smiled. "Thank you." She whispered.

Mark stopped walking and Courney did too. "What's wrong?" She asked.

Mark turned to face her. "I need to ask you something." She didn't reply. "May I... Kiss you?" He asked. Courtney was shocked at such a stupid question.

"Mark," She sighed "You don't have to ask me things like that. I thought I have made it clear enough that you could see that I like you, really, really, much. Kissing me would be one of the most wonderful things you could do!"

Mark sighed in relief. He stared into her grey eyes. He could smell roses as he moved in to kiss her. He finally reached her lips.

Courtney slid her arms around his neck and they became closer.

Mark's hand slid up her back and into her hair. She moaned into his mouth.

He pulled away from her. "Let's go get that dinner." Courtney whispered. Mark nodded.

HA HA! I am going to end it right here. Keep reading and reviewing. New chapter soon.
