Mark comes to visit!

[Mark Daniels]

Sometimes Aubrey was a little sensitive about sweets. He did his best to avoid certain foods that contained too much glucose. His diet was somewhat strict and he didn't like it but it was life. Mark thought that he needed a hand with keeping the people he loved happy. He worked, which was overly stressful and to top it all off, he had to be poking his finger every three hours or so. It didn't sound like too much fun.

Mark bought Caroline a jar of Nutella that she so loved. He didn't get the big hype about the cocoa hazelnut spread but he guessed Caroline really enjoyed it. When he made it to the neighborhood, Mark checked left and right. He was afraid that someone would steal his most prized possession. It was the Bronx after all. After Mark got out of his vehicle he closed the door and made sure it was locked before scurrying inside of the apartment building and making his way to Caroline and Aubrey's flat.

He carried the jar of Nutella in a plastic bag as he went up the stairs. His attire was casual; an Oregon state sweatshirt, jeans and sneakers. Mark's hoodie was over his head because it was a little bit cold and he wanted to blend in. When he made it to the door, he knocked and waited for Caroline to answer.

Caroline wasn't expecting Mark to actually come by her and Aubrey's apartment to bring her a jar of Nutella. If she knew then she would have changed out of her flannel Hello Kitty pattern pajama pants and incredibly thin white long sleeved thermal which was so thin that you could see the Hello Kitty pattern on her bra. Her hair was even up and slightly damp from her recent shower! She never really tried to look nice for Mark or even Leonardo but she rarely answered the door looking like she did now. She didn't think that it really mattered what she looked like most of the time if she was being perfectly honest since she had a two almost three year old and her life was hectic. She didn't need the added stress of feeling like she always had to look her absolute best on top of everything else! "Oh! Mark! Hi, come on in!" She was extremely embarrassed by the current state of the apartment - it wasn't that it was necessarily horribly messy but Camila's toys were spread out all over the living room but there was bunny shaped macaroni and cheese in the kitchen so maybe that would make up for everything being in such a state of disorganization.

Camila was laying on the couch currently sleeping but she knew that she would be awake once again soon enough. "Look at Cami... She's sucking her thumb like I use to do when I was her age." She whispered in Mark's direction with a small smile after she let him inside of the apartment. "Did you really bring me a jar of Nutella? Because if you did then you are welcome to anything in the fridge and there's macaroni on the stove if you're hungry. Aubrey's working and Camila decided that she's too tired to eat, I guess." She shrugged as if it were no big deal that her two year old was sleeping through a meal because it really wasn't. She knew that she would eat later in the day when she got hungry and that was all that really mattered.

She went to the center of the living room to at least try and gather up some of the stray toys laying around but there wasn't a whole heck of a lot that she could do just yet since she didn't want to risk waking Camila up and she knew the toys were going to end up right back where they were once she woke up. "So.. You and Prudence Keaton?"

A bright smile formed on Mark's face when Caroline opened the door. He showed her the stash before walking into the apartment. He felt more safe inside than outside and it was incredibly justified. Mark wasn't the type to notice what his friends wore at all. Simply because he wasn't the most fashionable guy. "Good evening!" He chimed ever so gleefully, "Does anyone even say that anymore?" he lowered his tone when he noticed that Cami was sleeping. "She's precious — and I should be quiet." Mark said with a dopey smile.

"I brought the merchandise..." he said as if it were a gangster movie. He even made a suspicious face before pursing his lips together. "Aubrey is really sorry about not being able to eat the same food you do. I feel so bad for him." Mark recalled when they were younger and Aubrey couldn't eat as many candy as he and the others. He frowned slightly while swinging the key ring around his finger. He moved the hood off his head and then rose an eyebrow when Caroline asked about Prudence.

Mark liked a bunch of girls. He could easily say that he liked cheerleaders in particular. He tilted his head before smiling in a gushing manner, "What about Prue?" he was single and young. Anything could happen really. Mark could almost be taken for innocent because he wasn't trying to have a reputation.

"Yeah, she's a cutie patootie alright.. She was running all around the house before you got here and playing make believe with her toys which is why they are scattered all over the floor. We were also having a pajama day which is why she and I are both in our pajamas right now." Caroline felt like she owed Mark an explanation even though she really didn't; it was her life and her apartment so if she wanted to stay in her pajamas all day then she damn well could! She didn't owe anyone anything but she felt like she had to explain herself because she was getting cheaper housing because of her current financial state. How was she suppose to support herself when she was barely making minimum wage now? She had to pay insurance for them, cell phones, internet, cable.. It was a lot on her plate! She couldn't possibly act like super woman like fucking Esme Russel. She didn't even understand how that girl did it! Kirsten Beckatt certainly wasn't behaving like that and she had a baby daddy with a job!

"Are you and Prudence going to have sex?" She asked with a small smile as if that was a perfectly normal thing to ask your boyfriend's best friend. She didn't think that it was unusual considering their relationship. She just assumed that they had that kind of a relationship where they could do and say that sort of thing. They were best friends, right? Well he and Aubrey were so they were at least best friends by association. She moved over to the couch and shifted Camila so she was on her lap and patted the seat next to her for Mark to sit down, "Come here.. Let's talk about Prudence and why you shouldn't have sex with her." She knew that it was mean to judge someone like that but she just didn't think he and Prue would be any good together at all!

As always Mark stood and listened to Caroline talk. He kept smiling because he was usually always all smiles no matter what he was going through. Call it strength or will-power. "Oh, it's fine. I mean, I'm all ratchet looking so I'm the last person you have to give an explanation to." he said like usual exaggerating his tone. Mark pursed his lips together before walking toward the couch and taking a seat beside her.

He laughed candidly when Caroline asked him if he and Prudence were going to have sex. Was she concerned of his sex life? He placed his keys inside the pocket pouch of his sweatshirt then widened his eyes while both of his eyebrows flew up slightly. "Well... I can't say she isn't incredibly attractive but I really don't know..." he hasn't spoken to Prudence far enough to feel comfortable asking her if she wanted to get wild and do the hanky-panky with him. "...is there a reason why I shouldn't?" Mark asked, intrigued by Caroline's concern of the matter. "I don't know her enough but I'm realizing you do?" he rose an eyebrow.
