Chapter Text
Over in New York city. NY.
At an office building.
In one of their conference rooms.
(A group of business members are in there talking about a merger between both companies and how they can make the merger work out for everyone. Given how one of the CEO's of the company their wanting to merge with is retiring and is wanting to pass the company down to one of his daughter's. While the meeting is going on both sisters look at each other because they both know who their father is going to suggest who she marries.)
Kevin: Okay. Clearly you want to merge with Buchanan Enterprises. But what I can't seem to figure out is why?
Mason: What's that?
Kevin: We all thought that you guys were gonna go with Russo's.
Mason: Originally that was the plan. Until another old friend of my eldest came back into our lives.
Joey: You guys talking about Mark?
Mason: That's him.
Kevin: You want us to get our brother involved in this?
Sam: Dad you can't be serious?
Mason: Look Sam.
Sam: Dad Mark's not even or well he is. But he just went through a break up.
Joey: And he doesn't really know much about the family business. Much less how to run it.
Kevin: He knows a little bit about it. Mark wanted into the business until he met her.
Robin: Look do you two think he'd do it?
(Both of the Buchanan brothers look at each other and then back at them.)
Kevin: We don't know. We haven't really seen Mark lately.
Sam: Okay.
Joey: Again why Buchana Enterprises?
Mason: The deal fell through.
Kevin: What Sofia didn't wanna be second choice to Sam's boys?
(They start laughing at the joke.)
Sam: My boys will always come first.
Mark: Always good to know.
(They turn and see Mark there.)
Kevin: Hey little brother.
Mark: Hey. What's going on?
Joey: We're gonna be doing a merge.
Mark: You wanna merge with what company?
(Mark looks around the room and sees whose there and laughs.)
Mark: Explains why I was told to come to Dalton Enterprises.
Sam: Hi.
Mark: Hey. How are Mickey and Mason doing?
Sam: Good.
Mark: That's great to hear. Okay so you guys wanna merge with Dalton?
Kevin: We do.
Mark: Okay. So why am I here?
Mason: I know you just went through a break up but we need one hell of a favor.
(Mark looks at him and then to his brother's.)
Mark: Okay. What's the favor?
Mason: Only if you're willing.
(Mark looks at him and then to Sam.)
Mark: What's the favor?
Sam: Robin needs a husband.
(Robin looks at her as they start laughing.)
Mark: Yeah. Robin's not really my type.
Robin: What? Hey I'm everyone's type.
Mark: Not mine.
Robin: Rude.
(They laugh at his face as Mark looks at Sam.)
Mark: Again.
Kevin: Who is your type?
(Mark looks at his brother and laughs as he walks over to Sam and says something into her ear.)
Mark: (Whispers) Really sexy as hell women with two cute boys.
(Sam looks at him and then looks off blushing.)
Joey: What you say to make her do that?
Mark: That's for us to know and for you to never find out.
(They laugh at him.)
Sam: Well dad this should very easy to do.
Mark: So what's the favor?
Mason: In order for us to make this merger happen.
Mark: Sam needs to be married.
Mason: Yes.
Mark: Uh. So why was I summoned? Last time I checked you guys were gonna merge with Russo industries.
Robin: That was the original plan. But.
Mark: Sofia backed out last minute?
Sam: No. Her father did.
Mark: Why? I thought this merger is something that both families wanted.
Robin: It was. But Paolo didn't wanna deal with back lash.
Mark: So you guys came to my family?
Mason: Yes.
Mark: So the reason you guys decided to come to my family is because. Sofia's father didn't want any back lash?
Joey: Actually he told us it's because you came back into the picture.
(Mark looks at his brother and then to his friends father.)
Mark: Me.
Mason: I wasn't meaning for it to sound as bad as your brother made it seem.
Mark: I know my coming back to New York was a surprise. Even my family was surprised. I didn't realize you guys had found someone to marry Sam.
Mason: Actually Sam marrying Sofia wasn't my first choice.
Mark: Who was?
Mason: You.
(Mark looks at him and laughs.)
Mark: Me?
Mason: Yes.
Mark: Why me?
Mason: Ask her that.
Mark: I just might.
(Sam laughs at him.)
Mark: Give me the night and let me think about it.
Mason: I'll give you a few days to think about it.
Mark: Okay.
(They continue on with the meeting as Mark starts thinking about what they asked of him.)
Later that night.
At Sam's penthouse.
(The elevator opens and Mark walks off as one of Sam's many Nanny's runs off and towards the elevator then runs in and pushes for the lobby and he sees the boys running towards it and Mark acts quickly grabbing them as the door closes behind her.)
Mark: Chasing off another nanny?
Mickey: No.
Mark: So why'd she run onto the elevator?
Mason: Because she just quit.
(Mark puts them down and has them go off to the Livingroom.)
Mark: Go and wait for your mother.
(They walk off towards the Livingroom as Mark walks off towards Sam's office and knocks on the door.)
Sam: It's open.
(Mark opens the door and walks in to talk to her. As he walks in he closes and locks the door as she looks up at him and laughs.)
Sam: Hi.
Mark: Hi.
(She stands up and walks over to him. As she gets to him she pulls his shirt open and kisses him as their kissing they both fall back against her desk as he lies her back onto her desk he goes to her shirt and pulls it open and pulls away from her then he starts kissing down her chest to her stomach while he's kissing on her stomach she leans into his kiss then he pulls away from it and kisses her bellybutton getting her to look up at him then puts her head back down as his kiss on it continues then he pulls away from it and she sits up and looks at him.)
Sam: You okay?
Mark: I will be.
(She kisses him again.)
In Sam's office.
(She's sitting there fantasizing about Mark as he opens the door and walks in closing the door behind behind him.)
Mark: Hey.
Sam: Hey.
Mark: Your son's have scared away another nanny.
(Sam looks off and laughs.)
Sam: That's the sixth one this month.
Mark: Well their seven years old so.
(Sam laughs at him as she looks at his shirt and he catches her looking.)
Mark: What?
Sam: Nothing. Just thinking.
Mark: About my shirt?
Sam: No. About what's under it.
Mark: My torso.
(Sam laughs at him.)
Sam: I know.
(Mark walks over to her and leans into her.)
Mark: Why you suddenly so interested in what's under my shirt?
Sam: I'm not.
Mark: You sure about that?
Sam: I am. What's up?
Mark: I was just coming to talk to you about what your dad brought up.
Sam: The whole marriage thing?
Mark: Yeah. I just don't know how it would work.
Sam: Just like any other marriage.
Mark: Yeah. But this wouldn't be like any other marriage Sam. You are ready married for love. You would be my first. I mean I know it wouldn't be real.
Sam: It would be on paper.
Mark: I know that.
(Sam looks at him and realizes why he's having such hard time with this decision.)
Sam: You're afraid the boys won't like you anymore.
Mark: Pretty much. That and falling in love with their mother.
(Sam looks at him and smiles as she looks down and sees what he did.)
Sam: Like what you see?
(He stands her up and looks at her bare torso.)
Mark: Yes I do. It's so beautiful. Like you.
Sam: Thank you.
Mark: You're welcome.
(He pulls her into him and she leans into him to kiss him as his phone goes off. He grabs it out to see who it is and gets annoyed. But he answers still staying close to Sam.)
Mark: What you want Drew?
(Mark looks down at what Sam is doing and smiles at her.)
Drew: Where are you?
Mark: I'm in the city with some friends. Why?
(Then he feels Sam's hands moving over his chest.)
Drew: Which friends?
Mark: That's none of your business.
Drew: Actually It is.
Mark: Look just because you're the fucken Congressman. Doesn't give you and your Brianwashed little bitch the right to tell me how to live my life.
Drew: Mark!
Mark: Thanks to you and Willow I've are ready lost one girlfriend. I'm not about to lose my friends on the count of you two as well.

(They both pull away from each other and start rebuttoning their shirts.)
Sam: I'll be right out.
Mason: Okay.
(He runs off back to the Livingroom.)
