AN: I received a review about the pairing of this work, and I wanted to address it now to limit further questions about it. This story was meant to be read like you are Carly. (If you don't want to do that that is fine!) I just prefer writing 'I' and 'me' instead of 'you'. I am more comfortable writing it the way it is now. I have changed the pairing from 'markiplierXreader' to 'markiplierXfan' since Carly is a fan. I hope this clears up any confusion! And I normally respond to you guys when you leave a review, so don't be shy :) On to the chapter!

I was in the bathroom. My heart was hammering. Why did he look at me like that, I wondered. I flushed the toilet to make it seem like I was just using the bathroom. I turned on the faucet and splashed water onto my face. I grabbed a hand towel and wiped my face.

I closed the bathroom door behind me and headed back towards the dining room. I kept thinking about the look on Mark's face when I was asked about relationships. I glanced up just in time to run into Mark.

"Now who's running into who?" Mark said, with a chuckle.

"Sorry, I'm such a klutz," I said, blushing again.

"You're fine! You looked troubled. Something on your mind?"

"No I just needed to use the bathroom," I blushed again.

"You know, it's really cute when you do that" he said, leaning in and brushing his lips against my cheek. I jumped back and touched my face where he had kissed me. I quickly walked by him toward the dining room. I avoided Matt and Ryan's questioning looks.

"Later," I said, running out of the house. I got into my car and cranked it.

Mark came running out as soon as I pulled out of the driveway.

Later that night, Savannah called me.

"Listen, Carly, I'm sorry I was rude yesterday. I shouldn't have gotten mad at you."

"It's ok Savannah it was just a joke, don't worry about it," I replied.

"So how was work today?"

"I actually didn't work today, I was off and they invited me to eat dinner with them."

"Oh awesome! Did you have fun?" Savannah asked. I thought about telling her about Mark and the kiss. But I didn't want to start something so I kept quiet. My cellphone beeped and I looked at it. There was a text from Mark.

"Yeah the food was great! Listen, I hate to cut this short, but something just came up and I have to take care of it. I'll talk to you tomorrow?" I asked. Savannah agreed and I hung up. I looked at the text.

Mark: Listen I'm sorry about dinner. That was too forward of me.

Carly: You're fine.

Mark: I didn't want to make you feel like you had to leave

Carly: I was just in shock. I honestly never believed you would ever do anything like that

Mark: Please tell me this won't ruin you working for us?

Carly: Of course not! I would love to still work for you guys!

Mark: Well since I ruined dinner, would you mind going out with me this weekend? I would love to make it up to you.

Carly: You didn't ruin it, but sure I would love to go out!

Mark: Awesome! Just send me the information and I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7!
