It had been four months, four months and still know one knew. Roger couldn't figure it out. He thought him and Mark were pretty obvious but apparently know one had noticed. Not one of their friends knew that they were madly in love. Roger would have loved to tell them but Mark was shy and didn't want to tell he was ready. Roger didn't exactly agree but if thats what it took to make Mark happy he would gladly do it.
They were all sitting around the loft laughing and talking. Roger and Mark were stretched out on opposite ends of the couch with their feet resting next to the others thighs. Mimi was sprawled out on the floor next to Joanne who was sitting in Maureen's lap, and Collins was sitting in the chair with Angel on his lap.
"Roger! Hello! Roger!" Mimi yelled.
"What oh sorry." He said taring his gaze from Mark. The way the moonlight poured over his pale skin made him look absolutely irresistble, he couldn't focus on anything but him. "I was just thinking about something beautiful." He said with a smile at Mark.
"Oh Rog!" Maureen exclaimed, "Its so nice of you to be thinking of me!"
"Shut up Mo!"
"Anyway!" Mimi exclaimed, "As I was starting to say before Roger completely zoned out, I quit The Cat Scratch Club!"
"Really" Mark asked.
"Meems, thats great honey, but what do you plan to do for money?" Angel pointed out.
"Thats the even better new! I auditioned and I got a part as a dancer in an off Broadway Show!" She said happily.
"What! Thats great Mimi!" Joanne said moving over to pat her on the back.
They all agreed, and proceeded to congratulated Mimi.
"A toast" Collins said raising his glass. "To Mimi no longer being a whore!"
Everyone burst out in laughter and downed their drinks.
"Hey! I was not a whore" Mimi yelled back.
"Uh huh sure Meems" Roger said from his spot on the couch.
She picked up the pillow that was laying next to her and threw it at him. "I am not!"
Roger just laughed and threw the pillow back at her. "Whatever Mimi"
"Glad you guys hate me." Mimi replied sarcastically with a laugh.
"Oh you know we love you baby." Angel said getting off of Collins' lap and going over to her. "We love you so much." Angel ruffled the dancers hair.
Mark took advantage of the fact that everyones attention was on Mimi, and rubbed his foot up and down Rogers thigh to get his attention. "I love you." He mouthed.
Roger smiled. "I love you too." He mouthed back. He quickly glanced down at everyone else to make sure they hadn't noticed, and was relieved to find that their focus was still on Mimi and her new job.
Maureen looked down at her cup and frowned. "My cups empty." She whined.
"Here." Collins said picking up the bottle of alcohol and handing it to her.
"Thanks Collins."
"Uh huh."
"I'm bored." Angel whined.
"What do you wanna do?" Mimi asked.
"I dunno anything."
"I could film you." Mark offered
"No! We're all so over you filming us." Angel shot at him with a laugh.
"Fine." He said looking slightly put down.
Roger nudge him with his foot and caught his gaze. He gave him a look as if to say You-can-film-me-whenever-you-want.
"I know you guys could leave and let me sleep." Roger offered with a laugh and sunk farther down into the couch.
"Yeah we could. But I'm not tired." Joanne stated.
There came replies of 'yeah' and 'me either' from the rest of the group.
"Fine" Roger said with a pout. He wasn't tired, but he had other reasons for wanting them out.
Mark sensed what was on his boyfriends mind and tried to help. "I'm pretty tired too you guys, we can get together tomorrow or something if you want."
"Fine" Collins grunted and stood up.
"We will leave you two to get your sleep." Mimi said walking to the door.
"You guys better be well rested tomorrow so we can actually have some fun." Maureen laughed.
Mark and Roger got up and led them to the door. "Bye guys" Mark shut the door and waved goodbye.
Mark turned from the door into Rogers arms. "Finally" The musician said as he bent down and kissed him.
Mark pulled away and rubbed his lips against his ear. "I love you babe" He whispered.
"Mmm...love you too"
"Bedroom?" Mark asked.
Roger began to kiss his neck. "Bedroom." He confirmed with a mumble into Marks neck. Roger reached their bedroom door and turned around. He bit his lower lip, "You could film me ya know."
Mark ran back and grabbed his camera and followed Roger into the bedroom.
