Chapter 36 - The Pool

Mark was stunned beyond belief. Was he hearing him correctly? If he didn't know any better, he would be sure that a very ugly mess was about to come over them. Zayn looked mad, his glistening blue eyes had a fire behind them. Mark could tell that this wouldn't end well if he didn't step in.

"Uh...wait! Zayn. I just remembered, I did have a conversation with her yesterday. Maybe I could help you out afterall."

Zayn turned around, at first his expression was of pure relief but he hardened his face again.

"I'm glad. So...where do we go first?"

Mark kept his martini glass down in the sink. As he did so, his mind raced to form a plan. He knew that calling James right now would be futile, he was another hothead and if he involved James so soon, the whole thing would burn down in flames.
