Together

Percy Jackson.

Life with Mark has been very nice, he's a very sweet man. We hang out often now, he even told the reporters that we were dating, not that I didn't like it, it's been a month we've been seeing each other and it's a great experience . I was in his kitchen, wearing one of his sweatshirts that reached above my kneel, I was looking for what we can eat for lunch until I heard Mark talking behind me

"Babe, my dad wants to talk to you" my heart skipped a bit and I bent down when he was about to bring the phone to me

"Easy, I explained everything to him" he said and chuckled while I stood up shyly

He held me by his side so we can both be seen in the video call

"Hi Percy" Mark's dad said, it was like I was staring at the older version of Mark

"Hi Mr Phillip, it's so good to see you" I said playing a smile on my lips and he grinned

"It's so good to know that my son went for someone like you" with that, I felt those butterflies in my stomach, I looked at Mark who was smiling before I turned my attention back to his father

"I'm flattered, it's so nice to know I'm seeing someone like your son too" I said as I stared at Mark who was now smiling at me, he drives me crazy.

I spent minutes talking to Mr Phillip, he's a nice man though, it's good to know my he's Mark's father.

"Mark can we go eat at a restaurant, I really don't want to cook" I said and waited for his response but everywhere was silent

"Mark!" I said and turned backwards only to find him smiling

"What's wrong?" I smiled too

"I can't believe I have you" he replied as he came closer to hug me

"I also can't believe I have you" I rested my head on his chest enjoying his manly scent before I remembered that I was hungry

"So can we go to a restaurant now?" I asked as I pulled away and looked up at him

"Okay, yeah"

He grabbed his jacket and we went to a nearby restaurant, after we ordered our food and I was really concentrating on eating, Mark mumbled something

"What's that?" I asked as I looked up from my food

"Why do I have a feeling that that lady outside with the camera is taking pictures of us" he said and I looked at the lady who now turned her back to leave

"It's not a feeling, she is taking pictures of us, I hate being stalked by them" I said as I continued eating

"You haven't experienced paparazzi stalking you?" I asked and continued eating

"I don't know, maybe I don't notice. I ain't really that social, when I was born my parent kept my face from the world for months before revealing it. And I just like a simple and free lifestyle. Only few people know me personally, my parent, Brian, Leo and other few people" he said and he also continued eating, I smiled at him. This black handsome man in front of me is mine, I mean, it still feels like a dream. I want to have so much more to do with him, I want to him to be part of my future. I've been dreaming about marrying him and having his children, it's something I want and I hope he thinks that way too.

"What are you thinking?" Marks voice snapped me out of my thoughts

"Spending my future with you, and having your children" I said and he chuckled

"Soon babe" with that, hope came rushing into me.

We finished eating and we went out of the restaurant

"I told you walking here will be nice, since it's not far" Mark said to me

"Yes, it's nice and I like breeze" I said as I held his arms tighter

"Oh, she waited for us" I looked at the direction Mark was looking, the lady with the camera earlier was now walking away

"They just wanna get these really cute couple pictures” he said and I laughed

"Yeah, they do" I giggled

We got to Mark's apartment and we waited for the elevator to open. He prefers his apartment, I don't know why, but I like it also, it's a big one. The elevator opened and we found a lady in the elevator and Mark froze for the first two seconds before he entered

"Hey, I'm Bella and I'm Mark's close friend" the lady said, her loud thing voice piercing through my ear as she stretched her hand to me, I accepted it.

"I'm Percy, Mark's girlfriend" I said as I smiled at her, after few minutes later the elevator stopped and opened

"I hope it last" she said before walking away

"Who the fuck is she?” I looked up angrily at Mark

"She's my parent friend's daughter, they wanted me to marry her but she's a spoiled brat, I couldn't. Don't be angry because of her" he said as he pulled me inside and locked the door before kissing me tenderly

"Is she around you all the time?" I asked as I pulled away

"Why do you care?" He asked. What?, is he kidding me?

"Why won't I care, I love you" that didn't just come for me, after a moment of silence I started to blame myself for saying it, doesn't he feel the same way yet?

"You don't have to say it back if you don't want to" I said looking at my feet and he chuckled

"I love you too, so much" he said and with that I felt those butterflies again

We resumed kissing, I would enjoy my time with him.
