Chapter 6
Lizzy
I am such a bad person, I should’ve just gone for a date and then implied I wasn’t interested in him, but that would be wrong too. I think I did the right thing, ‘Markus is a nice guys he’ll find someone better than me in no time’ I think to myself but still a part of me wants him. I want to do everything I would’ve done if only I wasn’t scared of the heartache, I wasn’t always like this I lived in the moment until that moment became the most terrible one of my life and I couldn’t take it anymore.
That night after I very politely refused Markus on his date proposal I went straight home and drowned myself in wine. How many genuine guys have I rejected in the past one year? And how many were as hot as Mark? I don’t know but what I do know is that it’s high time. I need to move on because Mark may not want me now but I need masculine support in my lonely life.

LizzyHe bought me flowers, he bought me fucking flowers! And I lashed out at him, on what basis? I’m an awful person. I’m focusing so much on protecting myself all the while people are hurting because of me. But the words are out of my mouth now and I regret them already. He has been nothing but polite to me since the very beginning, the anger and hurt in his eyes is evident but he is doing a better job than me to hide it.I need to make this right, I’m not this person “I’m not this person” that is the only thing that comes out of my mouth. I lower my eyes and look down; I am ashamed and embarrassed with my behavior this is not me I’m judging him on the basis of my past when Mark is nothing like him.“I know” Mark says softly and I look up at him in surprise, I’ve been nothing but rude to him and now he’s acting all cute and sweet and making me feel more guilt

LizzyI couldn’t hold myself back anymore, I had to kiss him for being so sweet and adorable (if guys can even be called that) the surprising part was that I believed him, I believed ever single word he told me. Because despite all the rumors that have been going in the media, I know he isn’t lying to me, it’s all in his eyes, all the emotions he cannot convey to me in words are swirling in his eyes as clear as daylight. We reach at Jimmy’s faster than we could have if we walked, Mark gets out first and walks around to open my door, ‘ever the gentle’ I thank him and he just smiles back at me.“So, Mr. Billionaire, are you street food allergic?” I asked in a mocking tone and he just crinkled his nose in the most delicious way, I laughed at his reaction. “I don’t know if you’ll believe me or not but I didn’t always have so much money, I basically lived on street food all through my c

LizzyThat was pretty easy, “didn’t you say you hate chocolates?” I ask utterly confused by his sudden change of heart. “Didn’t you hear me? I said I’d do anything for you” oh god! He is giving me that cheeky smile again, this will never get old. ‘Anything for me?’ that is too big of a promise to keep, anyway it is good to hear so I don’t mind, “alright then, why don’t you try this one for me?” I say handing him one of my newest combinations.He takes it and I look at him expectantly, it’s taken almost a month to master this one and if it fails…well…if it fails, I’ll have to try harder. I know Mark is the best choice for this because he isn’t biased, and I can always count on him for honest answers. He took a slow bite and my eyes immediately snapped to his lips, dark from the chocolate and so luscious I had the sudden urge to bite on them but

Lizzy“Where are you going to meet me?” I asked Mia on the phone, “your apartment, I’ll hire a cab” hmm…alright then, ‘we are actually doing this’. The last time I went to a club it was a complete disaster, after that I made sure to avoid them as much as I could. Some things are better left behind but when Mia used her ‘not so happy tone’ I couldn’t say ‘no’. Besides, things are actually looking good for me for the last couple of days and I could use some celebrating.“Also, I left out an itsy-bitsy detail” Mia says in a slow measured voice, “uh-huh doesn’t sound good, what are you hiding?” I ask a little worried about who she might’ve invited this time. “Just my brother Noah and his boyfriend Jax” oh no! This is not looking good for me, Noah practically hates me and we can’t stand each other even for a second. I wanted a

LizzySuddenly Mia sits up straight and practically yells at us “so, this talking and all was fine but we really need to end the night with a bang” she grins and throws her arms around my neck, “what are you suggesting Mia?” I ask, she just points at the dance floor “you need to loosen up a little bit Lizzy, so we need to dance” I don’t know if it is because of the adrenaline rushing through my body or the alcohol but I get up immediately.“Come on Noah don’t be a pussy, show us your moves” I say waggling my eyebrows and holding my hand out for him. He takes it, “wrong move Cooper, never call me a ‘pussy’” Noah says, his eyes sparkling with challenge. We all walk towards the dance floor except Jax he says ‘he had some business call to attend to’.The music is loud and I lose myself in the rhythm, we dance together like we have so many times over the y

Markus“Do you think our friends are still waiting for us inside?” Lizzy asks looking up at me, “you know you look gorgeous right?” her face flushes at the compliment but she doesn’t respond. “Why were you here, anyway?” she asks raising one eyebrow, “I swear I wasn’t stalking you, I had some business that needed to be taken care of” as soon as the words were out of my mouth, Lizzy gasped “oh god! I messed up your business deal with Jax, didn’t I?”I cup her cheeks, “you did not mess anything up, and I had no idea why I was here until my friend told me so” I kiss her forehead “do you understand?” she nods “Good. Then let’s go inside, say our goodbyes and leave” I place my hand on her lower back and direct her towards the table we had occupied earlier.Jason gives us an ones over and grins “did you guys just have make-up s

MarkusThe ride from Lizzy’s place to mine is silent, it gives me a few moments to think about my situation with Lizzy. The way we kissed today was definitely not normal, it felt more real than all of the women I’ve kissed before. Her warm body pressed against mine felt like the missing piece of my body that I never knew existed. I smile when I remember what an eventful day it has been, I wasn’t even considering to visit ‘Nirvana’ but it all worked out well enough for me. I got to see Elizabeth and spend some crazy amount of quality time with her, I laugh at the way she called me an ‘asshole’ while trailing behind me to prove her point.Out of the corner of my eye I see my driver watching me with a smile, I frown “what is it Turner?” I ask, he shakes his head “you’ve been quite a happy chap lately sir, it’s good to see you smile” hmm….my driver notices more than I&rsqu

LizzyI don’t want to talk about my broken family and all my broken relationships, I’ve worked really hard to put all of that in the past and move on. So, I ask him about his family,“Tell me about your parents” he doesn’t reply for a long time before saying “there’s nothing much to know about them” he shrugs and gives me nothing more “hey! That’s not fair, I just basically gave you my whole sob story” “alright, alright crazy woman” he smiles “my dad is a corporate lawyer and my mom was a teacher before she retired a year and a half ago” this all sounds too good to be true “so, they are still together?” Mark looks at me before carefully saying “yes”.“This is something new to me” and it really is, all I’ve experienced in my life are failed relationships, so when I see a happy couple, I can’t help but envy them
