Perfect Strangers[Mark]

[Markos Harper]

(OK! Got bored of Blockquote... too much to type))

Mark smiled, linking arms with her again. "Yes, I am proud of the horses here." he said proudly, though his smile wiped off his face when she said about her mare being sold. He looked to her, his brown eyes full of sorrow. He would be devastated if his father sold Storm. "I'm sorry about that Tara." he said, looking back to see Storm. He so badly wanted to just let her pick one of the horses from his barn and let her take one home, but his father would have his head. His father uses a lot of those horses for competitions and things, they are money makers and anything involving money had his father's attention. Mark frowned still, thinking of something he could get her if she showed any interest in him later on. He shook his head, thinking of the lake he was going to show her next. "The next stop.. since your doing so well..." he said, taking her farther away from the mansion now. "My parents own a lake.. a fairly large one too." he said with a smile. "I think you'd like it very much." he cooed happily...

[Tara Calder]

Tara hung onto Mark, being careful not to trip or stumble. Though, she was sure that if she did, he would catch her... with those nice, strong and welcoming arms. "I'm very impressed, Mark," she said with a charming smile. "You really know how to impress a girl. I honestly think it's a wonder that you're still single." She really did. She had to be missing something here. Or maybe he was just very picky with his women. If so, then she had to be one of the last on his list of acceptable women.

She followed him to the lake, her eyes going a little wide. It really was beautiful. She could only imagine what it looked like in the moonlight. "Are you sure you don't charm all of women who are interested in you like this?" she arched a slender brow, a half smile on her face. She was of course hoping he would take her out to the dock. It would be there prefect place for them to sit and chat. Hopefully they wouldn't fall in though.

Markos smiled to her, "Thanks?" he said, not really knowing who to answer her about how hard it was for her to believe he was still single. He chuckled lightly, feeling her grip on him tighten. He didn't say anything, figuring she just didn't want to fall. Markos wasn't all that good with women, she could believe it or not, but it was true. He was picky too, he just didn't want to admit it. You could call it picky, but he just didn't want to have to try and love a woman, who only wanted his money.

As they got down to the lake, he led her to a long dock that went very far into the lake. He helped her up the small step to get onto the wooden dock, and then continued on his way, arm still linked with her's. "No, I usually act different with women I don't like." he said with a slight smile.
