Mark's Dorm

[Elaine Escalona]

The two of them were so different, yet they meshed together so well. Mark was class president, popular, smart, and on top of all that, handsome. Elaine, on the other hand, was just as good looking and smart, but she was more "behind the scenes" in terms of school popularity. In her marching band uniform, she was just another saxophone player with a big hat with a fancy feather attached to it. They complemented each other. Sometimes the fame got to Mark's head, so Elaine kept him grounded.

"You are the worst stripper, actually. I don't think anyone else should see this. I'll sacrifice myself and take the hit for everyone from now on," she said, pretending to cringe as his pants just dropped to the ground. Thank you, gravity. "It's a little hot in here, how about you help me out while I get these off ya?" she asked slyly.

Trapped underneath Mark's body, Elaine reached around his neck to pull herself up into the kiss before getting to work like she promised, pulling at the hem of his boxers. Instinctively, she wrapped her legs around his waist to pull him even closer to her. His skin felt hot against her body, but her lips never left his for even a second. She was sure they would be swollen afterwards from how roughly and desperately they kissed each other.

"You know..." Mark whispered in her ear after moving away from her lips, "It's not fair that I'm basically naked and you're still full clothed." he slowly moved away before moving his hand underneath her sweatshirt and taking it off her. He dipped his head forward to kiss her collarbone and the space between her chest and neck.

"I'm pretty sure you'd do a better job..." Mark said rising his head up, smirking coyly and shaking his head side to side. "Or are you scared?" he taunted while straddling her. His fingers were gently tracing patterns on her stomach while his eyes were on hers. Her lips had this magnetic force upon his and he couldn't help himself but to kiss her desperately once again.

[Elaine Escalona]

Giggling at Mark's challenge, she allowed herself another kiss before stepping up to the plate. She gave his bottom lip an extra tug before playfully shoving his body off of hers. "Don't you know I strip for a living ?" she joked, laughing as soon as she said it and unable to maintain a straight face. She wasn't any more seductive than Mark was, but being a girl, she won by default.

With only her bra and leggings left, Elaine tucked her thumbs into the hem of her bottoms and began to pull them down ever so slowly and subtly swaying her hips. She tried to get them off as much as she could without bending her knees, but the five-feet girl was only so flexible. Since the leggings hugged her body so snug, Elaine had to bring her ankles up one by one to fully remove them. She repeated her mini dance with her panties, but they dropped a little faster than that. Talk about Mark being a panty droppa.

All that was left was her bra, but instead of unhooking it herself, she decided to let Mark do it after she climbed back on him. "How was that for a show?" she asked him innocently.

[Mark Daniels]

"I'm sure that you do." A coy smirk formed on Mark's lips as he watched her do her little dance. She was so quirky. Who would have thought that band geeks were so promiscuous and not to mention - blazing hot. He couldn't help but admire what was standing before him. Although, Mark's gaze wasn't dirty, it was almost as if his eyes were admiring Elaine's whole being. Not just her body.

Mark had known that he had strong feelings for her, but being so young he couldn't exactly understand what those emotions were exactly. It was love and it wasn't puppy love. That was just an understatement. What he felt for Elaine was so much more than just sexual desires and heavy petting.

A bright, big smile crept on his face when Elaine came back to him. Mark stared into her eyes and then focused on her lips before settling back to her eyes. His arms reached forward and around her waist to undo her bra. Once he was finished with that, he slowly moved the fabric that separated them and let it fall to the side. A soft moan escaped his lips when he felt her warm body against his own.

He began tracing soft kisses down her neck while letting her down slowly on the bed while he moved on top of her. Mark's kisses began going further down...

"I love you." Mark said softly, out of breath and in complete euphoria. He turned on his side to face Elaine and ran his fingers through her hair. His bed wasn't very big but the weather wasn't very warm. Being huddled up and under the covers was perfect for the occasion. He smiled softly, "I probably have loved you for a really long time." he gently ran his finger down her arm. "For a smart guy I can be pretty oblivious to my own feeling sometimes..." Mark pursed his lips softly together before smiling brightly and laughing softly. He leaned his head forward, burying his face inside her hair.

[Elaine Escalona]

"You creepy hair sniffer," Elaine whispered in response to Mark snuggling his face into her soft brown hair. Despite how upset she was with him earlier, everything felt right again. Well, that's what they all say after sex. Her conscience began to creep back in, reminding her that their little fun time didn't change anything. It just confirmed their feelings for one another, which is basically right where they started. Now where do they go from here?

"I love you too," she said sleepily. You know what? Who cares where they stand or where anyone else stands, or sits, or crawls? Mark and Elaine were finally on the same page and everything they faced, now they would face together. She mentally told her conscience to suck it and buzz off as she cuddled up even closer to him.

"I don't have an extra set of clothes," she mumbled. Now she'd already accepted the fact that she was in a male's dorm after hours and would probably be leaving with him in the morning as well. If he kicked her out in the middle of the night, then that would just be wrong and someone might just be forever alone and it wasn't Elaine.

[Mark Daniels]

When Elaine cuddled up closer to Mark, he opened his arms wider and embraced her tightly. He kept his hair buried inside her rather soft hair and sighed happily. "I'm not creepy." he whined before moving away and gently grazing noses with her. His forehead was pressed to hers before he closed his eyes, he then cracked a big smile.

"I don't think anyone minds you strutting around in your birthday suit... I mean, I sure don't." Mark cackled playfully before rolling them around so that he was on the other side. "I'm just kidding... About you going out naked though. The other half, I'm serious." he laughed, releasing her and then sitting up. Mark scratched his head, looking to his alarm clock and saying, "It's nine." he then looked down to Elaine.

"Wanna have another go?" he asked, of course he was joking - or maybe not. She just looked so pretty, which wasn't a reason to have more fun times with her. Mark was joking. He was actually thirsty and his stomach was burning. "...Great." he groaned, reaching over her to unzip his backpack and grab his pills. Mark then reached over to grab his bottle of water, "These aren't drugs..." he said in quirky tone.

[Elaine Escalona]

"Oh, you're very creepy alright," Elaine retorted. Ironically, she moved to sit up on an elbow to lean in and lick the side of Mark's face. She didn't use the tip of her tongue, either. Nope, she used the entire tongue that the Lord Almighty gave her and swept it from his jaw to his temple. Then, she retreated back into his arms, hiding her face in his chest.

When Mark suggested a round two, Elaine could feel the blood rushing into her cheeks, despite the fact that she would very much like another go with him. "You're so bad," she cried out, playfully shoving him on the arm. Her grin faltered only slightly when he pulled out some meds.

With a raised eyebrow, she glanced from the bottle to Mark to the bottle and finally back to Mark. "Those are clearly drugs," she stated blatantly. Elaine even pointed a sassy finger to help prove her point. "Just kidding. What for, though?" she asked curiously. As far as she knew, Mark was as healthy as they came. He was a football player, after all.

[Mark Daniels]

A muffled yell came out of Mark's mouth when Elaine ran her tongue on his face. He laughed jubilantly and scrunched his nose while closing his eyes. "You're gross!" he exclaimed, hugging her tightly all the while grinning like a fool.

"Bad to the bone." Mark declared in a sassy tone before he made the noise of the song. He took his opened the container of pills, took one of the small white capsules and placed it on his tongue. "I have gastritis." he said, although it was difficult to understand him with the pill on his tongue and all. Mark put his finger up as if to tell Elaine to wait a second before he took a drink from his water bottle and swallowed the pill.

His stomach suddenly felt this cool feeling, as if he had taken iced mint tea. "My intestines are swollen and sometimes I get this burning feeling in my stomach... It started after I lost weight. It's chronic and I hate it." he stuck his tongue out before reaching over and putting the container of pills away. Mark felt that he was somehow connecting with Elaine, despite that they had just argued and been apart.

"I hope my children don't inherit my gastritis. That would be pretty bad... My dad has it. He manages it so much better than me. I sorta... Whine about it a lot." Mark laughed before taking her left hand after lying down on his side. "I'd like my children to be left handed though. It's unique and a wonderful mutation..." he rhapsodized dreamily as he analyzed her hand and then rose an eyebrow.

"Did you know I'm a football player slash hand reader?" he asked her, "I read on your hand... That you will suffer a terrible, terrible... Attack of the tickles." Mark predicted, or so he was pretending to before he began tickling her sides.

[Elaine Escalona]

"Oh," Elaine said with a frown. She had no idea that Mark had any kind of health issues, even though he seemed to be handling it quite well aside from the slight annoyance. Like Mark, she wasn't perfect, either. Unlike him however, Elaine only suffered from a skin disease that causes rashes called 'eczema,' which she kept under control most of the time by maintaining a strict skin care routine. The severity of eczema varies from person to person and can be triggered by the weather as well as certain food groups.

From the outside looking in, only those also affected by eczema could recognize it because Elaine put extra effort into looking as normal as the next person. Of course every so often, she may have some dry skin or red spots here and there, but they were very minor and were nowhere as uncomfortable as Mark's gastritis.

"Me either. I hope our kids are born with perfect health," she agreed happily. Then as soon as she said it, Elaine blushed. "Well, I mean whoever you have kids with, 'cause... yeah. Wait, did you just call me a mutant?" she quickly changed the subject. As much as she loved Mark, they were still young and anything could happen. Love during high school didn't always last.

Listening intently, she was caught by surprise when he suddenly began to tickle her. Elaine laughed uncontrollably, squirming and insisting that Mark stop his attack. In a desperate attempt, she held on to him as tightly as she could in order to decrease his range of motion.
