“Yeah I did. It was fun, cause I haven’t had that much fun in a while.” Shane said.

“I really enjoyed myself last night, except running in Ryan.” Christina sat the bowl down on the table and pulled her hair back.

“Well, I’m glad that you’re okay.” Christina looked at Mark and smiled.

“Thanks.” Shane looked at Christina and Mark. “UmmMark, can I talk to you for a second?”

“Sure. Lets step outside.” Christina turned around and opens the door, and Mark walked behind her. Shane sat there, with a puzzled look on her face. Christina stood there, and Mark stood in front of her. “So what’s up?”

“I really want to thank you for last night. It was really nice of you to help me out with Ryan. I don’t know what he would of did if youShane and Carmen weren’t there.”

“Well if I see a guy touching a girl that doesn’t want to be touched, I’ll say something. I don’t like seeing someone being hurt.” He touched her face and stroked her cheek softly.

“You’re being really sweet to me, and you’ve only known me for a couple of days.” Mark smiled and ran his fingers through his hair.

“I don’t know, there’s something about you. I really like you.” Christina looked down and took a deep breath.

“I really like you too.” Mark put his hand on Christina’s arm and rubbed gently. Christina looked at Mark and moved closer to him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and looked into her eyes. Christina wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him softly. Mark sat his hands on Christina’s butt and squeezed softly. Christina massaged her slender fingers on Mark’s neck.

“Hey, Christina you got a-.” Shane stopped and looked at the two. They both let go of each other and stepped apart. “I’m sorry, did I ruin something here?” Christina’s face became dark red. Mark shoved his hands in his pockets.

“What did you say Shane?” Christina asked shyly.

“You got a phone call. It’s Kit.” Christina smiled and headed into the house. Shane looked at Mark and smiled. She walked behind Christina and closes the door. Mark exhaled and headed back to his studio.
