Spoken Lies And Broken Ties

Mark's P.O.V.

"Baby wake up" Tia was l.i.c.k.i.n.g my face. Ew, what the f.u.c.k? What is she a cat? Have you ever heard a grown a.s.s girl lick somebody's face? Probably not. I am pretending to sleep in my bed right now with Tia sprawled out me like I am her personal pillow. She has been trying to wake me up for past fifteen minutes so that we can have a quickie, take a shower together and then drop her at her place. Now come on, girl we f.u.c.k.e.d all night, which doesn't even feel good anymore but I did just for the heck of it and this woman wants more; that too early in the morning. I am so done with her, she not worth more of my time; sadly I'll have to keep her with me just a little bit more until I find another way to get Reb to react.

While pretending I heard my phone ring, considering this as my escape I hurriedly got off the bed and picked up my phone, it was mom. "Good morning honey!!" mom was very cheerful early in the morning. "Good morning Mom. You sound cheerful today, what's up?" I had my eyes on Tia who was listening to the conversation attentively. "Yes, I am happy. What are your plans for today?" Mom questioned. "None as such." This was getting interesting. Mom doesn't generally ask like this she just orders me if she wants me to be present somewhere. " We were going out on dinner, I thought you might be interested to join us. " Why would I join you on your dinner date mom? Why are you even ask..." " Mia and Greg have invited us for dinner at their place." She stopped me mid-sentence with what she said next. I took some time to process the information she just threw at me. Okay, so Reb's parents have invited us for dinner... that means I am also invited along with my parents. Oh, that's refreshing news. I can move on with my plan, plus I get to pester Reb and enjoy her reaction.

Now, the only thing I have to do is to get rid of Tia for some time and I think already know what to do. "Baby who was it?" Tia questioned although she already knew who it was. "Mom" I answered her ignoring her fake innocence anyway. If I want my plan to work I'll have to act accordingly. "She wants me to accompany her to one of her foundations. I can't even say no to her, I'll have to go." I said minding my expressions to seem convincing. "Let me take a shower and get dressed and then I'll take to your place so that you get dressed to come with me to the foundation," I said walking towards the bathroom, mentally counting up to three. At the third count, I heard her say "Baby, I am so sorry but I can't come along. I promised my mom I'll help her in the kitchen and spend the day with her. I sorry, I would love to come you but I'll have to help my mom today." Tia said in urgency and started dressing up. Her excuse wasn't required, her expressions and body language were enough to tell me that I succeeded in getting the reaction I wanted from her. I went into the bathroom and waited for her to leave. I heard the door of my bedroom open and close in seconds. I knew she would rush out of my room and out of the house once I ask her to accompany me to charity foundations or any such place. She would probably go to some salon and spend the whole day there instead of going to some foundation or charity. But she would have jumped on the opportunity if it had media or any publicity involved. I am sure of that because every girl I have dated did the same. I came out of the bathroom after making sure she was actually gone. I walked back to my bed and slept peacefully.

I woke up a few hours later and enjoyed the alone time. I went to dress up in the evening and drove to my parent's place and we all went to dinner together.
