Chapter Three: The Conversation

Mark’s POV

I wasn’t surprised. Hurt? Yes. Not surprised.
I was only being foolish again. I fell for her too easily just like I fell for Maureen, the difference between Maureen and Mimi is that Mimi actually paid attention to me. Maureen would never kiss me when we were alone, sure we made love but she only kissed me in public. It was almost as if she wanted to convince everyone else she was happy with me, but I was the only one who believed her......
But with Mimi , I only felt her lips for only a moment but in that moment I felt more then I had ever felt in my life. What exactly? I don’t know.
Who am I kidding? I saw them doing it against the wall. She’s Roger’s girl We could never be anything. She’s taken.
I decided to clean my cameras in attempt to get my mind off her, she wouldn’t leave, I kept seeing Mimi dancing in my head. And in that damn school girl uniform. She looked like kiddie porn rather then a woman. I don’t understand why that didn’t bother Roger that other men looked at his girl in such a way.
The door to the hallway slid open, I didn’t look up assuming it was everyone, without the usual smartass remark from Roger things felt a little off. I looked up to see Mimi standing in the door way her bangs were soaked in ringlets against her forehead, probably from the snow, I thought.
“Where’s Roger?” I asked setting my camera on the table, looking away, the cameras could wait I had to at least look busy and not look directly at her. She was still in the god awful school girl uniform. Oh god sometimes I really wished I was Catholic. I could feel my cheeks getting hotter and hotter. “Did something happen?”
Mimi shook her head, “No. I wanted to talk to you, alone.” She must have noticed the worried look on my face because she smiled a little, “Don’t worry, Angel’s keeping the boys occupied for me.”

Mimi’s POV
“What do you mean?” he asked rubbing his hands together.
I shut the door and joined him in the kitchen, sitting up on the counter I looked at him. I was only a little buzzed from the drinks Angel and I had before finally leaving the Life. Mark seemed nervous, my own heart was beating very fast. The last time we were together in there he kissed me, more importantly is that I enjoyed it, I felt something with him....... which was exactly why I wanted to talk to him.
“About last night,” I began, “I want you to know it-”
“Was a one time thing.” He said, his eyes fixed on the floor. “I know.”
I didn’t know what to say, hadn’t expected that from him. He was the one that kissed me I felt hurt almost. “I-I was going to say I liked it and you’re right. It was a one time thing.....” I slid off the counter flashing him a smile, it’s not like we’re anything I have nothing to worry about now. Everything’s going to be fine, I told myself, “Glad that’s settled.” I said moving to the living room but he touched my arm.
“Mimi,” he stood up finally looking into my eyes, “I didn’t mean it like that,” he looked away then back at me his cheeks were pink. “I liked it a lot. More then I should have.” Mark let go of my arm, “Mimi, you’re my best friend’s girl and I care about you. You’ve been great for Roger I’ve never seen him so happy,” he trailed off.
He wanted to say something I could tell, I wanted to kiss him. No. I changed the subject. “It’s weird he didn’t want to get involved with me until he found out I was positive.” I shrugged my shoulders it was true.
“He’s just had a hard time ever since April killed herself.”
Did I hear him right!? Killed herself? “She killed herself?” Roger only told me she died.
Mark flinched, “Shit. He didn’t tell you?”
I shook my head.
“They started dating a few years back April got him into smack.” He sighed, “Roger will never admit this but I think she was sleeping with their dealer for the drugs.”
That was definitely the same dealer as mine. More then once I had been out of money and repaid him for sexual favors, he only allowed a few select people ‘pay’ him that way. I never slept with him, I’m not that stupid, but I’ve blown him a few times for a small stash. I’m not proud of it but it’s happened.
“Later she started getting sick, she’d wake up at night crying with fever then she started throwing up. Roger suggested she get checked out, he told me he was worried that she was pregnant. That day feels like it was yesterday sometimes..... his band had to practice for a show that night at one of the bars and April said she’d meet us there after her appointment. We came home Roger was pissed because she hadn’t shown up at the show like she’d promised. I saw the note on the counter, it read: ‘we’ve got AIDS’. Maureen was the first to see the bathroom down ajar, Roger ran into the bathroom and found her dead in the bathtub. She had slit her wrists.”
I sat stunned. “I didn’t know...”
“Guess that’s the reason he didn’t make any special effort to get close to you because he didn’t want to get you sick. That or he didn’t want to you to get scared and leave when you found out he was positive.” He shrugged, “That’s what I think anyway.”
We didn’t say anything for several moments. I brushed some imaginary fuzz off of my skirt and looked up at him again. “Mark, can I asked you something?”
His eyes met mine, “What?”
“Why did you kiss me?”

Mark’s POV
Shit! I looked at the floor, why did she have to ask that!? “I-I don’t know...”
She smiled at me, “Please tell me.”
I felt my face get hot, “You were there and just looked so....” naked.. “beautiful.”
Mimi took a step towards me, “But why?”
I swallowed hard, her brown eyes were gazing into mine her hair was down, Roger must have pulled it down during their fucking. Her lips glistening from where she had just licked them, “I uh..” This time it was Mimi that made the move I felt her lips brush against mine. They were soft and a little wet, she leaned into the kiss tilting her head and then I felt it. Her tongue against my lip, I made a sound that, to me, sounded like a whimper and I opened my mouth. Her arms came around my neck, I didn’t know what to do with my hands so I kept them at my sides. My head was spinning and my heart was pounding so hard I was sure that it would burst. This time was uninterrupted, wonderful.
When the kiss was over I opened my eyes to look at her, my glasses were fogged up, I managed a smile. “Oh wow.”
She smiled, “My thoughts exactly.” Mimi grabbed my hand so I would put my arm around her.
I pulled her closer to me, closing any space between us. Damn that school girl uniform. I kissed her this time, pushing my tongue passed her lips and into her mouth. Something Maureen would never let me do. Her breasts pressed against my chest so hard I could feel her nipples rub against me. Oh. My. God. I was going to faint, I could feel myself hardening! She had to have felt it she was pressing up against me! My face was on fire and most likely crimson.
Mimi leaned back a bit to look into my eyes, her face was a little flushed, she raised an eyebrow at me. Yes. I was going to faint. She grinned, there was this sparkle in her eyes and to my horror she kissed me again. Her teeth grazed my lip, I pulled against me, backing into the table.
The door slid open Angel burst in, “We’re back!” She stumbled as she walked in obviously drunk off her ass, “The boys are on the way!”
I could hear Roger and Collins laughing and staggering up the stairs. Mimi and I looked at each other and she backed away from me. “It’s okay,” she murmured so only I could hear, “she won’t tell.”
Of course Mimi had told Angel. They told each other everything. She’d come waltzing in before the boys so we wouldn’t get caught. Thank God for Angel.
