Why not?

"Mark..why are you here so late?" I question.

"I'm here to make what happened up to you and I really want to show you how sorry I am," he says while coming closer to the door.

"Aren't you and Tiana a thing?" I ask confused.

"What? No! She was just there and I guess I was feeling a little to romantic or something I don't know. But what I do know is that I want you, I want to start again with you but if you don't I will understand I just don't want to go any longer without you knowing how bad i actually feel, even she know that wasn't the start to anything," he still just stands there waiting for what I'll say next.

I walk out the door closing it behind me so I could privately talk to him. "Mark I love you in the most that I can but without the whole sexual part. You are such a great guy but I don't think I can do it, I don't think I can look at you without thinking about what happened and I don't want that for us or for myself and I totally except your apology so don't sweat it anymore okay?" I walk over to him and place my hand on his face.

"Okay," he clears his throat and lets out a breath. "Okay um that's okay I'll still love you even if you don't in that way anymore just at least take the stuff I don't think it's a very good idea to have them plus I bought it for you and that's where I want them to go, to you," he clears his throat again then moves my hand away from his giving me a kiss on my
cheek before backing away. "I'll see you later," he salutes me with a wave before running over to his car and driving off.

I walk back into the house with the items Mark gave me and Hunter was still standing there but was on his phone but put it away as I entered. "Hey um are you good, did you guy get back together or something," he motions towards the gifts.

"Oh no just, Mark wanted to tell me how sorry he was," Hunter looks at me in a way I couldn't describe. Turning my back to him I go into the living room to place the things on the coffee table. Turning back around Hunter stood right behind me so close I could feel his  minty breath against by face before he got even closer to were our foreheads were touching.

"Did you do it because of me?" he whispers, then looks into my eyes.

"Did what?" I ask in just as quietly.

"Did you not get back with him because of me?" he closes his eyes for a second before his intense gaze landed on my eyes again.

"I don't know," I say.

"I do," was the last thing he said before he gentle placed his lips against mine, no longer the sexually rough kiss but a gentle passionate kiss that lasted even longer then the last, I felt his hands trail up and down the sides of my body as I held his face in my hands. His tongue traced along my lips leaving a sensational feeling. He lets his lips go from mine then gives another small kiss. "I know how you've made me feel for awhile, I only realized when I felt so betrayed that you didn't tell me who you were that I remembered that I hardly talked to you that long yet I feel like I have known you forever and whenever I'm around you I get this feeling inside myself that makes me never want to leave your side and I want to be there for you for Iris and Owen as long as your there too," Hunter finishes.

"You can't though you can't feel this way for me," he sighs as I step away from him.

He looks at me confused. "Why? Why not? It's not like your an actually gang leader so it can't be because your to bad for me or whatever those girls say in those movies," he says trying to walk closer to me but I step back from every step he takes forward.

"And your right I'm not bad, you are or at least the gang your going to inherit is and what about years from now if we decided to get married how would that work, I can't have a guy who does illegal stuff apart of my organization and there would be so much confusion," I say as he backs me against the wall.
