I hurried home, hoping I wasn't gonna get pulled over. When I pulled into the driveway, I found a note on the door. "Hey, (y/n). I had to go on a business trip for a few days. I'm so sorry I didn't inform you earlier, this kind of came out of nowhere. I should be back either Wednesday or Thursday. I love you so much. *smooch* I packed the fridge with tons of food, so you won't be hungry. After 18 years of you watching your father and I cook meals, I know this won't be a problem. You know the rules, don't break them. I'll call you when I land, I love you so much."

On cue, as soon as I finished reading, she called. "Hi mommy, you left me." I pouted while walking into the house and closing the door. "I know baby, but my job required me to do it. I'll be back soon, I promise. I have to go now though. I just landed and I'm looking for my driver." She informed. "WAIT where are you?" I questioned hoping it wasn't too late. "Arizona, I have to go. Bye baby, I love you so very much." She whined making kissy noises through the phone. "Okay mommy I love you more, bye bye." I smiled.

I decided to give Mark a call and tell him what was going on. "Hello?" Mark answered deeply. "Hey, babe. My mom isn't gonna be home until either Wednesday or Thursday. Is it okay if I spent the night? Only for tonight, unless you want me to stay longer." I informed checking the time. It was only 5:23, I had plenty of time. I wanted to be early for Mark though. "Yeah, babe. You can stay as long as you'd like. Just pack extra clothes, unless you want to sleep naked. Which I'm fine with." Mark stated saying the last part deeply.

"Oooohhh perfect. I'll be over in about an hour." I purred seductively. "I'll be waiting." He growled lowly. We both hung up the phone, and I practically ran upstairs to my room. I ran my hands through my hair and took deep breaths. 'What am I gonna wear?' I whispered to myself. I ran over to my closet, rummaging through all of my clothes. "I have nothing to wear!!" I whined, angrily sliding the hangers to the side.

Although, I have plenty of clothes to wear, I just didn't want to wear any of it. ' okay (y/n), breathe. Just breathe. You're stressing over this too much. Calm down, go take a shower, relieve some of that tension, and then we can find out what you're gonna wear. It's okay. I took a deep breath in through my nose, and exhaled through my mouth. I don't even know why I am so stressy. Sometimes I have to give myself that little pep talk, in order to be able to function.
