AN: AH! Sorry it's so late! I got super busy today! I hope you guys have a wonderful and safe Independence Day (to all my American readers!) And a great rest of your weekend! By the way, check out the Markiplier fanpage if you haven't already! It's called Markiplier's army on Facebook! If you need some help finding it, I would be happy to give you a link! Thanks guys!
"And I will see you in the next video! Bye-bye!" Mark said. He let out a loud sigh and stood up. He stretched his body out. He had been recording for several hours straight. It was four in the morning. I had been sitting in his recording room since I had gotten out of the shower. "Well that's a few days of content recorded for our trip. Are you ready for bed?" I nodded and we went to our bedroom.
"What if your mom doesn't like me?" I asked after we had settled ourselves into bed. Mark rolled over towards me. My back was to him but I could feel him shifting closer to me. He wrapped his arms around me and nuzzled into the back of my neck.
"You smell good," he commented, "Why would my mom not like you?"
"I don't know… But what if it happens? I can't be with you if she hates me!"
"It's not her place to like you, it's mine. Is this about the gunshot?"
"I… Well… Yes and no. It's every girl's dream to meet the guy of her dreams and to have his mother love her! It almost never works right if she doesn't like the girl her son is dating!" I said, letting out a sad sigh.
"None of those things are in your control, Carly. I'm fine! Don't worry about my mother liking you! You're sweet and I'm sure she will love you! Now, we have an early flight tomorrow, so we should probably get to sleep." Mark said, kissing my neck. I felt my body heating up and I turned over to kiss him.
"There's no way you can just do that and expect me not to respond." I teased. I could see Mark's smirk in the dark and he leaned closer for a kiss. It would be a long night.
The bedside table buzzed. I stirred and peeled my body from against Mark's. My phone lit the whole room up in a soft light. I grabbed the phone and clicked it on. My mom's name popped up on the screen.
"Mom? What's wrong?"
"Carly! I've already texted you four times! You didn't call me before you got ready to go to the airport! Are you still sleeping? Do you see the time!" She sounded frazzled. I could picture her pacing around the kitchen in a robe, clutching her morning coffee, shaking so bad she would be close to spilling it. I glanced at the clock and swore softly.
"Mom, thanks for calling, we're up. I'll call you when we land okay?" I said, hanging up. I scrambled around, gathering bags and running them out to the car. I threw on a tank top and a skirt.
"Mark! Wake up! We don't want to be late-" I said running back into our bedroom. There he was, standing beside the bed, half dressed. He held up a hoodie and a t-shirt. He scanned my outfit and licked his lips.
"Come here" he said, with a glint in his eyes. I felt a tingle run up my spine. I crossed the room and he kissed me fiercely. I could feel him grabbing for my clothes.
"Mark.. We have a plane to catch. We'll be late if we don't leave soon." I said. He stopped and nodded. I could feel his body buzzing. I chuckled and kissed him on the lips. He threw the hoodie toward me and grabbed another one.
"Ready?" he asked with the hint of a blush on his face. I smiled and nodded, grabbing his hand.
"The plane will be landing shortly! Please make sure to check on your bags when you leave! Have a great stay and be sure to book your next flight with us!" One of the flight attendants called out over the intercom. I leaned over and poked Mark.
"Hm?" he asked softly, without opening his eyes.
"We're here" I said, whispering. The plane landed and people were ushered out slowly. I glanced around for the baggage claim station. Instead of finding it, I found Mark's mom.
"Mark! It's so good to see you again!" She said, hugging him. She turned toward me and hugged me too, "And you must be Carly! So nice to finally meet you!" I laughed and hugged back.
"Nice to meet you too! Mark has told me great things about you!" I said, laughing. We walked over to the baggage area and grabbed our bags. Mark's mom led us to her car and we all packed in.
"So what time is the wedding again?" Mark asked after we started moving.
"In three hours! We have to hurry home and get ready!" his mom replied.
We pulled up to a medium house that looked quite nice. I could see a huge backyard behind it that I recognized from many of Mark's earlier videos. It was like living a dream.
"Mark, show Carly the bedroom. I won't take long to get ready and then you can use my bathroom while Carly uses yours." His mom said. Mark nodded and led me down a hallway, to his room.
We put our bags on the bed and I walked to the bathroom and started the process of getting ready.
I was wearing a simple purple dress that stopped right above my knees. A silver bow tied at my sternum and I accented the dress with a pair of silver pumps. I styled my hair in curls and I left the bathroom to meet Mark's mom.
"Oh Carly! You look gorgeous!" She said smiling at me. My phone buzzed and I picked it up.
"Mom! Hey!" I said, smiling at Mark's mom.
"Carly! How was the flight? You didn't call me!"
"Yeah, Mark's mom met us at the airport and we got busy bringing stuff in and getting ready for the wedding."
"You met his mom? What's she like?"
"Very nice!" I said, glancing around the living room. Mark walked in and posed for me in his suit. "Listen, mom, I need to get going! We don't want to be late to the wedding." I said. We said goodbye and I hung up.
"Are we ready?" Mark's mom asked. We nodded and she pulled out her phone. "Let's take a picture, okay?" Mark and I nodded and posed together.
"You may now kiss the bride!" The preacher announced. The bride and groom kissed and everyone cheered. The couple walked out of the sanctuary together. "If you will follow them to the reception room, you can enjoy refreshments and fellowship!" he added.
Everyone filed into a room connected to the church that was used for parties and people began eating and dancing all around the room.
"Mark! Long time, no see! How is the business treating you? I guess this is Carly! Nice to meet you! When is the big day?" A few friends came up to us. Mark made small talk and I nodded and chimed in when it was appropriate. The night passed by rather quickly with all the friends and dancing.
"Mark! You need to marry this young lady! I like her!" Mark's mother said to him. He laughed and nodded and I felt my face get hot.
"Would you like to dance?" He asked me. I nodded and he led us to the dancefloor. "So what do you say?"
"About what?" I asked, swaying with him.
"Marriage. I mean, we're already engaged, we just haven't made any plans yet." He added, kissing my cheek.
"I can't wait to get married to you." I said, laughing softly.
"Then let's start planning soon!" Mark purred in my ear. I nodded and rested my head on his shoulder.
"I wish you didn't have to leave so soon!" Mark's mom said hugging me at the airport. I sighed and agreed with her.
"We are going to make wedding plans soon, I'll keep you updated, okay?" I whispered to her. She nodded and hugged me again. Mark laughed and hugged us and pulled me away.
"Love you mom! We'll see you as soon as we can, okay?" Mark called out. She nodded and I could feel a tear slipping out of my eye as we boarded the plane. I quickly wiped it away and got settled into my seat for the ride home.
