[THURSDAY]

[9AM] Everybody was already awake ready to head out to breakfast together. Annie was feeling a lot better and back to normal. She felt like she could start a new day without worrying about anything. Jennie wore a grey muscle tee shirt, blue with white polka dot skirt, black high top converse, grey backpack, hair lightly curled down naturally. Irene wore black and beige loose long sleeve shirt, black leggings, grey high knee boots, staple necklace, black purse. Laura wore a loose white t-shirt tucked in front navy blue style jogger pants, flip flops, white style hat and clutch purse. Annie wore a white long sleeve collar shirt tucked into a black pencil skirt, black socks and high platform sneakers, hair loosely braided to the side, black leather backpack. They went to The Hash House A Go Go breakfast restaurant. As everyone was eating, Annie got a phone call from an anonymous number. She excused herself from the table and went to answer her phone outside the restaurant.

Annie (*answers her phone) : hello ?
Nathan (*asks) : is this Doctor Annie Lee ?
Annie : yes, it is. (*asks) who am i talking to ?
Nathan : i'm Nathan Kim. you helped me the other day at the hospital.
Annie : Oh, i remember. (*asks) how are you ?

Nathan (*asks) : are you free this afternoon for some coffee ? how does 12pm sound ?
Annie : it sounds great.
Nathan : alright, i'll meet you in front of Paris hotel.
Annie : Okay. see you there.

Annie hung up the phone and went back inside of the restaurant with everyone.

Laura, Irene, and Jennie went out to a pool party club. Annie went to meet Nathan in front of Paris Hotel. They went to Starbucks to have coffee and talk.

Nathan : you know. i never thought you would meet me again.

Annie : Ah i see.
Nathan (*asks) : besides being a Doctor, what else do you do ?
Annie : just that.
Nathan (*asks) : do you have a boyfriend ? husband ?
Nathan : that is if you don't mind me asking.
Annie (*smiles & says) : no, its alright.
Annie : I've been too busy with my own life that i don't have time for a relationship.
Annie : so i don't have a boyfriend.
Nathan : oh i see.
Nathan (*asks) : so is there anyone you have in mind ?
Annie : i do but i learned to let go. he is my best friend till this day.
Annie : it didn't work out so well in the end.
Nathan : i'm sorry to hear that.

Annie (*looks at her watch & says) : i have to get going. i'm sorry.
Nathan : no, its alright.
Annie : it was so nice meeting you and thank you for the coffee.
Nathan : your welcome. get back safely.
Annie : thanks.

Annie stood up and walked away back to her hotel with her cup of coffee. As she was walking towards the room, Mark came out of the room next door to talk to Annie. She welcomed him inside the room so they could talk.

Mark (*asks as sitting on the edge of the bed) : so where did you disappear to earlier ?
Annie : i went to meet Nathan. we went out for some coffee.
Mark : that guy you saved the other day ?
Annie : yeah.
Mark (*asks) : is anything going on with him and you that we don't know about ?
Annie : No. like i said before, we just went out for coffee. he owes me for saving him.

Mark was looking around the room in suspicions. Annie looks at Mark and realizes that he was getting jealous of Nathan taking her out on a coffee date. Then Annie asks him with a funny smile on her face...

Annie (*asks) : are you jealous ?
Mark (*asks in denial & stuttering) : wha... what ?? no.
Annie : you are jealous Mark. you stutter every time you lie about something.
Mark (*says in denial) : i'm not jealous.
Annie : alright. just know that we didn't just go out for coffee.
Annie (*jokes around by saying) : he took me out on an actual date.
Mark (*freaks out & asks out loud) : a date ??? where ?? when ??
Annie (*smiles & says) : jealous !
Mark (*asks) : you were kidding, weren't you ?
Annie : i wanted to see what you would say.
Annie (*asks) : if you were jealous, why didn't you just say something ?
Annie : i like it better when your honest with me Mark.
Mark (*smiles & says) : i'm sorry. i just didn't want you to get hurt like the last time.
Annie : i wont get hurt and besides, i barely met Nathan.
Annie : he doesn't mean anything to me.
Annie : and the last time i got hurt was my big mistake of trusting that bastard.
Mark : well, he deserved that beating i gave him.
Annie (*laughs & asks) : why are you concerned all of a sudden ?
Mark : i don't know. for the past couple of days, I've been so worried for you.
Mark : i don't want you to leave my side.
Annie (*looks at Mark & asks) : what do you mean ?
Mark : ever since you told me that you have feelings for me,
Mark : I've been concerned with you.
Mark : its like i want to be attached to you Annie.
Annie : i'm a big girl now Mark.
Mark : you may seem that but its much more than that.

A silence came upon the two. Mark then asked Annie walking towards the kitchen taking a seat on the stool where she was cleaning.

Mark (*asks) : so you didn't go on that date with Nathan ?
Annie (*smiles & says as cleaning up) : No.
Mark (*asks) : then do you want to ?
Annie (*asks) : what do you mean ?
Mark (*says as standing up from his seat) : lets go.
Annie (*stops what she's doing & asks) : go where ?

Mark went over to Annie and grabbed her arm pulling her out of the hotel room. She grabbed her black leather backpack on the way out. They took the elevator downstairs outside of the hotel to grab a taxi. Annie and Mark went to Venetian. They walked around together and went to the where the boats were (Ponte di Rialto). Mark stood in front of Annie and told her.

Mark : i know you’re still mad at me for the other day.
Mark : and i’m willing to make it up to you all afternoon today.
Annie (*looks up at Mark & asks) : your talking about a date ?
Mark : yes. lets start dating from today on out and see where this goes.
Annie : i don’t know Mark.
Mark : i promise you that today will be the best day of your life.
Annie (*shakes her head & says) : i don’t know, we shouldn’t be doing this.
Mark : come on.

Mark grabs onto Annie’s arm and drags her to the man who was in charge of the boats. He paid the man and grabbed Annie by her arm into the boat. Mark sat behind Annie and got comfortable with each other. He back hugged her as she sits there. They spent 20 minutes boating around Venetian underneath the building. They saw all of the beautifulness of the hotel. Annie felt like it was a real date.
