Mark was introduced to Kim our final semester in high school, she soon took over his entire life, Mark was only allowed to be away from her for short periods of time. I rarely saw Mark once he met Kim, his parents did not want him and I hanging out they told him I was a wrong kind of person, a bad influence on him, nothing good could come of it, I would lead him down a path of self destruction.
Standing in the washroom holding Mark like I had dreamed of so many times, him kissing me, I was so elated, I never wanted to let him go.
"Mark I have to get back to my meetings, they will be waiting for me." I told him quietly.
I hated to break us apart but they would come look for me if I was not back in the boardroom by one o'clock. Mark slowly pulled away from me, I held his hand, trying to hold on to the remains of this moment.
"Mark if you need to get out of a bad situation I am at my parents house for another week, your more than welcome to come stay with me there, you will be safe, No one will hurt you there." I told him.
Mark had a tear running down his cheek.
"She would come get me there and it would be even worse than before." Mark shook as he told me this.
"Mark I promise you this I will and would protect you with everything that I have in me, when it's time for me to leave town you would come along with me, this is not a temporary solution Mark, this would be a permanent one to the bad situation you are in." I said to him lovingly as I held his face and brushed the tear from his cheek.
"Mark I love you, I can't see you being hurt like this anymore." I said to him looking in his eyes.
Mark kind of tilted his head, I pulled him in for one more kiss as I had to get back.
"I really will protect you Mark, I love you." I reiterated so he would know.
