Alex's POV Mason and I had sex for the first last week and I haven't seen him since then, he had to travel to Chicago for work. But we have been texting though, almost barely. I feel like our whole dynamic is now changed.He's coming back today and it's his birthday so we're all going out for drinks, with his friends.I arrive at the bar before him, which made feel a little less anxious. Why am I even anxious? I mean everything is totally fine between us, we agreed that it's just sex no strings attached."Alexis, you're here." Nick's girlfriend Beth says giving me a hug, I like her she's nice. "Where's Mason?" She asks noticing I'm not with him."He said to meet him here." I explain."Okay come, let's get you a drink."Minutes later I feel Mason's presence, and yes feel. I feel his eyes burning into the back of my head.I try to act natural and not give into the urge to look at him but obviously not. The second I give in to the overwhelming need to look at him, he glances my way, and

Alex's POV "Okay something is different between you two," Nick says to both Mason and I as he watches us sternly.Nick, Mason and I are hanging out in Mason's penthouse."What do you mean?" Mason asks feigning innocence. Things have been super nice and sometimes a little awkward since we started sleeping together."I don't know but something is different." Nick says again."Don't know what you mean but nothing is different." Mason says to Nick."If you say so." Nick says with a nod not looking convinced."So Alexis what's up with you and Luke?" Nick asks turning to me."Are you going out with him again?" He adds asking."No she's not." Mason answers and we all turn to him."I mean she doesn't have time for dating right now." He quickly clarifies."Hmm maybe Alexis should answer questions directed at her by herself." Nick says grinning at Mason, like maybe there's an inside joke I'm not aware of going on."Yeah maybe when I'm done with my research." I say quickly taking Nick's attenti

He asks, we're taking a plane to Napa."Yes," I said, stepping back through the door long enough to grab my bag.He took it and kissed my cheek, smiling widely at me and that's how I how he missed me too when he smiles like that.We hadn't really talked about what would happen once we arrived. Our families knew we'd been hanging out it had been their idea, after

I wish my dad would have pretended what he saw never happened. I was seated at the dinning table with him when Mason walked in."Sleep well, Mason?" he asked as Mason took a seat at the table.I thought he was going to flush with embarrassment, but instead, he regarded my dad with a shake of his head."A little jet lag." Mason says.Then Mason's dad joins us and my dad keeps quiet not mentioning anything, he doesn't even mention it to my mom or talk to me about it which makes me super grateful.After breakfast my dad asks Mason to help him with the Christmas lights on the balcony and I panic at the thought of them being alone. I watch them from inside the glass windows, my dad talks first then Mason talks and finally Mason stepped over to my father and shook his hand, saying something that only my father could hear. I tried to read my father's expression, but he kept a tight lid on it. My father is almost as good at hiding his thoughts as Mason is.I really want to know what Mason sai

Is it too booby?" I ask Angie who is doing her makeup on the vanity mirror in my closet."Damn girl, you look amazing. And no it's not too booby, your boobs are amazing so show them off." Angie says with a smirk."Yeah but__" I start to say and she cuts me off."Alexis honey, you look amazing! If I had boobs like yours I'll try to show them off too."

The rest of the party is a blur, I spend almost every second obsessing about what's going on between us. Angie and I leave the party together and I spend the whole ride home thinking about Mason.The elevator opened on my floor and I froze. Down the hall, standing by the door to my apartment, was Mason.He had a key but for some reason he was waiting outside my door for me.For the smallest fraction of a second, less time than it took to inhale a full breath of air, I got excited.He was standing at my door, and that was everything.With a solemn expression and my eyes forward, I strutted toward my apartment. I opened the door and stepped inside when it opened, he followed me in without a word he looked composed and put together like he always did, but there was something different in his eyes something I'm not quite sure what it is."I shouldn't have done that." Mason says as he watched me remove my shoes by the door."Done what?" I ask knowing completely he was regretting kissing m

My relationship with my mother has always been a normal conventional one or atleast I think so. We fight and make up, we don’t agree on everything and sometimes we agree on everything, she has expectations of me as her daughter and I also have expectations of her as my mother.So I wasn’t particularly surprised when I received an angry voicemail from her, when she found out about Mason and I.Mind you, no one still knows he even asked me to marry him. All she knows or heard is we’re in a relationship and I’m living with him.In her own words, “Alexis what’s this I hear about you and Mason dating? Please tell me this is false news?” That’s from voicemail one.Then she left another one, “Alexis call me back! and for me to find out from Mason’s mother?? How could you do this to me??”Her exact words.“Hey you okay??” Mason asks from the kitchen. He’s cooking something, I don’t know what and I was happily watching him until I checked my phone.“Uhnmm excuse me, I need to call my mother ba

Alexis’s POV Dinner with Mason’s dad was anything other than I expected. Not that I expected it to go well, their relationship isn’t particularly a good relationship. But it was like being in an episode of succession, with Logan and Kendall being passive aggressive and I thought women were the passive aggressive ones no offense to us.One good thing though, Mason’s dad is happy that I’m now with his son. Which by the way Mason made it feel we’re just in a casual relationship, technically he said it to his father.I mean maybe he’s just like that with his father because of some unresolved issues between them, atleast that’s what I’m telling myself anyway because his words hurt.To be exact his words were.His father had said, “Alexis I’m glad you and my son are together can’t wait for you to officially part of the family.”“How about you don’t ruin something casual.” Mason had said to his father and his words hurt but I didn’t take it to heart, I told myself it’s not about me it’s abo

Alexis's POV "I'm a very jealous person Mason, especially when it comes to you. If there's anything you want me to know, tell me now because I can't stand the thought of you being with another woman." I say after a bit. I was still in lap. He was still holding me but I needed to say this. I know I wasn't perfect, I had slept with his friend but I came clean about it. I don't want a relationship where we have things hidden from each other. "So please Mason, if you there's something I should know. Please tell me now." I added again. "Alexis you have nothing to worry about, I only ever want you." Mason. Says. "If things don't work out for us, I don't know if I can walk away when I need to," I confessed, the panic rising up in me. "We're past walking away, Alexis." A statement of fact, as if my fate were already sealed by his words. "I wasn't looking for you. But I still found you Alexis, there's no going back for us. You're mine as I am yours." With those words, I'm melting.
