Chapter 5: Break in
Victoria could not believe what was happening, they where all having dinner and it seemed like a scene cut out of a magazine the food was perfect everyone was laughing and the worse thing for her she could not get any alcohol because she was not 21. she took a sip of her glass of grape juice eying mark carefully. She could now see why many of the girls in the tournament where eying him like they wanted to tear his clothes of. He was what some would call a perfect man tough he did seem cocky when he was talking with his father there was the sense that he was trying to hide something from all the females in the room. Victoria's mother seemed to be oblivious to that fact as she talked endlessly with mark's mother of there past.
“ so Victoria what might your interest be?”
“um, excuse me?” it took her a second to process what mark had asked her. “ well I enjoy my studies and I do a little martial arts training when not in school.”
“ ah really? What discipline?”
“ I am mostly interested in tae kwon do. What about you what are your interest?”
“ well my interest lie mostly in finishing my video games and learning to run my fathers company.”
“ earlier on when we came in you where talking about a tournament?”
“ oh, yeah that.” he spoke nonchalantly as if it did not matter “I dabble a little in martial arts.”
“ oh really what discipline do you study?”
“actually I study whatever my teacher gives me sometimes its kick boxing other times it might be some ancient form that’s almost forgotten”
The rest of the night passed with meaningless chat between them it seemed they would have nothing in common, but Victoria did not go to sleep without any result. Just like most men mark had taken a peek at her body when he thought she was not looking.

Mark sighed the whole day had been very exhausting and the night was very strange, as he laid on his four poster bed thoughts of Victoria kept creeping up on him. She was definitely something to behold. God had blessed her with a body that would definitely kill many, and her tongue was as slick as a snakes. He could not help but smile as he thought of what challenge it would be to break her defenses.
As he felt sleep come to him he heard the sound of a struggle. He jumped out of his bed running into the hall way he jumped silently unto the stairway and taking them. he was very careful as he stepped down. soon he could hear the sound of his father arguing with someone.
“ get the hell out of my house. Sir.”
“ oh, but I can't do that you see you currently hold something that is important to me.”
mark smiled as he made it to the door of his fathers office he knew that his father was near the front of his desk the fact that he was talking told him that the person had a weapon on him. One more second and mark's course of action was decided. With a mighty yell he ran towards the individual who naturally turned around pointing his gun at mark allowing his father enough time to get the hidden gun and shoot at the stranger.
What mark did not expect was that as the stranger turned he also let his upper half bend over. the bullet that was supposed to go into the stranger went trough air, only quick action saved marks life as he threw himself to the floor rolling unto the strangers leg. The stranger pointed the gun at marks head only to feel the cold barrel of a gun on the back of his skull
for a second everyone in the room was silent not a single breath was taken mark looked at the stranger. he has slicked blond hair and hazel eyes
After that second was finished. The stranger kicked marks father in the shins causing his father to falter and go on his knees. Using the moment on which the stranger kicked his father mark tried to get a hold of the mans hand but he heard the sound of the safety being taken off. Now the man held two guns in his hands. One pointed at marks head, and the other at his fathers.
“ okay we can do this the easy way or the hard way, now which one of your life's should I end?”
“ what about your own?”
the strangers eyes widen in disbelieve as the barrel of a shotgun was pointed at his face. marks mother was now at the door. The man looked carefully at his situation.
“ Do not even think about saying it. the second you pull any of the triggers. your whole bottom half will be shot off.” the shot gun went lower. “ I will make sure you will suffer before I send you to hell.”
“ oh but will it be worth it? To see your own husband and son dead?”
she smiled as she let go of the shot gun, the stranger made the mistake of relieving the breath he held in his lungs. as if they had practice this a long time. mark hit the stranger in a pressure point as did his father they did it with enough force to cause blinding pain to the stranger. As he cursed he drooped a pill. in one second the room was filled with smoke and when the smoke cleared they where alone in the study.
They took a few more seconds before they moved.
“ what the hell happened here Luis?”
“ I do not know. He just appeared and started making demands.” mark went to his fathers safe and touched it, it was warm.
“dad. Its okay he didn't get the real safe.” mark saw his father relax.
A few minutes later the police where on the premises talking with his father and mother. Mark laid on his bed thinking of all that had happened.
“ you where pretty stupid to try and stand up to someone with a gun.” mark looked at the door and saw Victoria.
“ had to help my father.”
“ if it wasn't for your mother you would have been killed” she laughed and walked to the side of the bed sitting on it. He looked at her. Her hair was lose and she was wearing nothing but a long shirt which he guessed was normal for some girls and unfortunately for him she was not wearing a bra not that she seemed to need them.
“ well at least you where smart about it.” she bent over kissing him lightly on the lips.“ good job on the not falling for the temptation thing, but next time be careful. morning wood doesn't occur in the night time.” She left mark thinking about how much he missed fighting rather then dealing with her
