Mark's Dorm

[Elaine Escalona]

Elaine gave a small nod. She didn't completely agree with what Mark said, but she was not in the mood, nor did she have the energy to disagree. He was right about one thing, however. Technically, he didn't cheat on her because they weren't officially a couple. She had hoped that their mutual feelings meant an established yet unspoken relationship, but it appears that she was wrong. No matter, the two of them were going to start over, anyway.

It was meant to be a short kiss, which Elaine did not mind at all, but instead of pulling away, she kept her face there--foreheads, noses, and lips a hair's width apart. Her eyes were closed and as comfortable and tired as she was, Elaine's heart was racing far too fast for her to be asleep. Mark was giving her the chills and the butterflies just like he did when they kissed for the very first time. She felt so silly. 'This is Mark. You know Mark. Why are you nervous?' she asked herself.

Simple. Elaine felt nervous because every fiber in her body wanted to defy her mind. 'Start over? Hell no. Don't you remember what it was like to love him? To be loved by him? You miss him and you know it.'

This sure did not seem like starting over. Not that Mark minded it. Actually, it made him smile the most smallest but sincerest smile he'd ever showed during these pasts days. None of them were ever as sincere and now he knew why. He brought his hand up to touch the side of her face, why was she so quiet?

It honestly scared him slightly. Was she thinking of doing something to him? No, she would never hurt him like he would never hurt her. Maybe she was thinking the same thing he was. That starting over would be a waste of time considering that there was something much stronger than just an ordinary friendship (with love making on the side).

Mark tilted his head to the side and little by little, he parted his lips slightly to kiss Elaine once more. However, this time, his lips stayed on hers for quite a while. He had forgotten how good kissing was and it showed by the way he did it so desperately. "Elaine, I love you." Mark stated in between kisses.

Elaine had no idea what she wanted. Even if Mark had come to his senses, she didn't want to become his girlfriend right after he'd just broken up with that bimbo blonde. Despite the fact that she had Mark first, she didn't want to look like the rebound. That, and she didn't think it was fair that he always got what he wanted, coming and going as he pleased. They were definitely going to start over, if not to teach him a lesson then to give her heart a chance to heal.

"I know," she answered quietly against his lips. When Mark began to kiss her more deeply, Elaine managed to, basically, shut her brain off. All thoughts that were racing through her mind had ceased and her pesky conscience was temporarily silenced. Slowly, she raised a hand to press against his chest, but instead of pushing Mark away, she simply rested it there.

Oblivious to what was going on in Elaine's pretty mind, Mark continued kissing her passionately. He tilted his head to the side and nuzzled his nose against her while simply rhapsodizing about her beauty and everything he loved about her. Band geeks could be really hot. Elaine awakened a romance in Mark, he didn't do these sort of things with just anybody. If anything, he enjoyed this the most.

It excited him both mentally and physically. The temperature in his body began to rise and he was in need of taking off his hoodie. However, he didn't want to rush things. Still, when she said she knew that he loved her, Mark pulled away for a moment while his hands were pressed against the bed.

He slowly moved a hand under her chin, "Did I show it?" he was somewhat surprised. If he had been so obvious then it made him feel ten times worse because without realizing it, he was proving his love to Elaine and Elaine was catching it. Even if he wasn't.

[Elaine Escalona]

The hand that rested on Mark's chest snaked its way up his torso and buried itself into his hair. As he began to kiss her more fervently, so did Elaine. This only ever happened with him. She'd never slept with anyone else, so that made Mark her first and if only life was like a fairytale, then he'd be her last.

For a brief moment, Elaine was glad that she wore nothing but a bra underneath her oversized sweater because it was getting really hot. "No, everybody loves me," she said with a grin. She was always okay with their more-than-friends-but-not-quite-dating relationship until Chelsea happened. Now that the worst was over, she felt relieved.

Without thinking, she began to lean more and more into the kiss with not only her lips, but also her body until there was literally not a hair's width between them. Elaine wasn't sure where his laptop was, but hopefully it was still somewhere in the middle of the bed.

[Mark Daniels]

A soft sigh escaped Mark when Elaine's body came closer to his. He chuckled softly while his lips continued to brush against hers. "Modesty, pass it on." he mumbled jokingly. He kept on kissing her with up most desperation while his body moved in waves gently touching against her at every move.

If this wasn't going to go any further than kissing, Mark was going to have to back away from Elaine. The body heat was too much for him and he felt he was going to sweat through his hoodie at any moment. He remembered their first time and how clumsy it had been. Progressively they got better but still that was unforgettable.

Accidentally, Mark leg knocked his laptop off the bed. It was such a long fall but the thud was enough for him to pull away quickly. "Crap. The computer fell off..." he groaned, burying his head on her neck then picking himself up to pick the darn thing up.

"It's not broken... Thank baby Jesus." Mark said breathing heavily before closing the laptop and then putting it on his desk. A picture flew out and fell to the ground, "So, where were we?" he said, slowly unzipping his hoodie. He was going to strip for her.

Going to.

If she was never going to be intimate with another man again, it would be okay with Elaine because she didn't think anyone else would put up with her giggle fits. Not to be mistaken, their happy time was steamy enough to be a fire hazard, but it was much more than just that. It involved two people really connecting, no pun intended.

When the laptop landed on the ground with a thud, she let out a gasp. Thank goodness it was okay because Elaine would have felt extremely guilty if it wasn't. An hour or two of fun was not worth several hundred dollars. She rolled over on to her stomach to watch as Mark retrieved his computer and gasped again.

"Oh my God, is that you? Oh my God, yes it is, that's you and your mom!" she exclaimed before entering a fit of hysterical laughter. She'd heard that Mark was a chubby child but now that she had cold hard evidence, it was hilarious. Of course Elaine wasn't laughing at him, that would be bullying. He just looked so adorable, like a gigantic teddy bear. With a satisfied sigh, she wiped a tear away.

If anything, the picture made her love him even more and now he was standing before her about to undress. "Dinner and a show, how thoughtful of you," she said slyly. "Well if you don't hurry I'm going to have to help you," she warned him.

Mark was about to unzip his hoodie but paused when he heard Elaine laughing. He whipped his head to look at her and widened his eyes. That was that sassy photograph his dad took of him while he basically told his mom to hold for a moment because it was a really not important phone call. His mouth flew open wide, appalled, "Oh quit laughing like a hyena! I was a little fluffy back then..." he whined like usual. "Keisha says that I was more adorable then. I guess I was but what can I say?" he shrugged with a nonchalant look on his face. He then laughed candidly before pursing his lips together, "Not funny!" he pouted while she continued laughing and then he started cracking up as well after taking a look at the picture.

He then took a step back when Elaine remembered him what he was supposed to be. Mark continued taking off his hoodie, he unzipped it and then dramatically flew it open. In the process the white rope smacked him in the face. Mark started laughing, there was no sound coming out of his mouth and he looked like a dumb seal. "Wow, smooth." he breathed, lunging forward while trying to catch his breath. He then stood up straight, but he continued laughing.

Mark was happy. He was laughing because of many reason, not just one.

[Elaine Escalona]

"Fluffy with a side of husky," she teased. Mark was such a dork, especially now since they were supposed to be doing the dirty. Thank goodness Elaine was a little more graceful than he was and even if she did do something clumsy, at least she'd look cute doing it. She raised her hands and made it rain invisible dollars for Mark and his not so seductive strip show.

Well, maybe not seductive to other girls, but nothing was sexier than a guy who could laugh at himself. Elaine moved to sit upright on the edge of the bed and crossed her legs. "Well, I suggest you hurry, lover boy so you can start unwrapping your gift," she singsonged, shrugging her shoulders as if to say 'what a shame that would be if you didn't.'

[Mark Daniels]

Around Elaine and a few other people, Mark could be himself. He usually had to tone down his rather spontaneous persona when he was among other people. It was perhaps that he was two-faced and hypocritical but the difference from his actual personality and his more, reserved one while with strangers or peers he didn't know well wasn't that big. Mark simply wanted everyone to adore him. The world if possible.

"Where's my present?" he asked with a curious tone as if he had no clue what she was talking about. He then grinned a bit more suggestively before moving his hands down to the hem of shirt and pulling it up his head. He tossed that to the side and then began unbuttoning his pants. "I would be a horrible stripper." Mark muttered while he struggled to smoothly undo the button of his jeans. "This is why I'm doing good in school, I suppose." he rhapsodized after getting the button undone and moving onto his zipper.

His pants fell down by themselves, basically. "Wow. Magic." he said with gasp. Mark then debated on whether he should take off his boxers or just leave them on. He just ran his finger around the band, "You need to help me take these off." he stated rather seductive, or maybe his voice was just hoarse from the soda he drank. That and he had just taken a nap, imagine that.

Mark walked slowly toward her and got on the bed. His body hovered over hers after he moved on top of her. He leaned into kiss her but before that he gave her a soft smile. After that, he engulfed her lips with his own.
