Ava’s POV

Our relationship has now grown into something domestic and homey. I was in love with him but I didn’t want to admit it to him, at least not yet.

I didn’t want to tell him how much I loved him and how much it kills me to miss him. Everything seemed easy and beautiful with him around. I felt like I was in Heaven.

I could also see it, I knew how much Mason loved me too, he becomes overprotective of me whenever I’m around other guys and he doesn’t hesitate to show it.

We both went about our work and most of the times I have this immense happiness and joy anytime I think about him, he’s the best thing that ever happened to me and I was glad that I have him.

Our parents are gone now, traveled to Hong Kong and wouldn’t be back in a long time. They made sure to call every day via video call and that was enough.

“How’s it going over there?” Mason asked as I tried to make a cup of coffee for myself and they talked for a while before I joined them.

I asked them how things were and if t

    Ava’s POVWe finally landed in the city at around 6PM and holding hands, we checked into a hotel. We were trying to pull off our clothes when we heard a slight knock on the door.“Room service.” A feminine voice came from outside and when I asked Mason if he ordered anything he shrugged and denied.Opening the door, I told the lady not to worry about our food and I was glad when she didn’t take any offense and only agreed to return it back to the kitchen.Mason laid on the bed with his eyes closed and I just couldn’t help but wonder how beautiful he usually looked whenever he’s sleeping.Playfully, I fell on his chest and he groaned as his eyes snapped open, “stop sleeping and let us go get something to eat.” I said, pulling him up.He put on a casual round neck top and we both agreed to go and eat out. We still had enough time to hang out and enjoy the city before finally coming back to the hotel to rest.We got to a nearby restaurant and I couldn’t stop stealing glances at him as we

    Ava’s POVI turned on the bed and hoped I was going to hold Mason but I opened my eyes to an empty bed. I looked around the room for him but I couldn’t find him.My heartbeat was starting to race when the paper poking out beneath the bedside lamp caught my attention and I opened it to check its content.He’d written about being out earlier than expected since he needed to be early for the meeting so he could conclude it with his clients.Smiling, I heaved out a sigh of relief as I dropped the paper back on the bed. My body ached and my head was spinning, it must’ve been from all the fun we had last night.Pulling off my clothes, I went to the bathroom to freshen up and I was still bathing when I heard the bathroom door open.I was unable to open my eyes because I had soap on my face but I soon washed it off and turned to see Mason on the doorway, he was smiling at me.“I really just want to fuck the shit out of you.” He teased, his voice was so low that I almost couldn’t hear him but

Those were the reasons that made me fall in love with him when we were younger.Being with him was so beautiful and whenever he was around nothing else mattered to me, nothing else usually matters as long as I have Mason.He was different from all of the other guys I’d met, he was different from Xander that bailed on me when he kissed me, he was also different from my husband who treated women like they were nothing.Mason knew how to treat a woman with so much love, he makes me feel heard, seen, he makes me feel amazing and that was all I ever wanted.Although he hadn’t told me he loves me yet and it bothers me because sometimes I just really want to hear those words from him.

    Ava’s POVWe both left the restaurant and went for a drink at a nearby bar and Nicole wouldn’t stop asking me different kinds of questions about Mason.“So what are you guys now? Is he like your boyfriend or something?” She asked as she took her shot and I sighed.I’ve also been meaning to ask him about it but I’ve been unable to because I didn’t want to ruin what we have going on.“Not really, I don’t know. We haven’t really talked about it, you know.” I answered with a sigh and Nicole almost choked on her drink.“What do you mean you haven’t talked about it?” She asked as she hit me, “you better ask him about it so you know where you stand before going knee deep into this and getting hurt again.” She added.I couldn’t have agreed more with her, she’s right. I really need to know what Mason and I were instead of assuming and getting my heart broken again.“I’ll talk to him about it soon.” I replied as I assured Nicole and she heaved out a sigh of relief as she implored me to talk abo

    Ava’s POVDanny’s burial soon came and everything was set and ready. The priest spoke before asking us to come make a speech.Walking up to the altar, I looked at everyone around and it felt like I had nothing to say about Danny except the fact that he was a good father to me.“When everyone was less supportive of me, Danny stayed with me, he could disbelieve a lot of things but he never stopped believing in me. He really is the best father in the world and I don’t think they make fathers like him because I think I took the last one.” I laughed and sniffled and the mood was lightened up a bit.“Danny had touched our lives one way or the other and I don’t think he would want us here crying, he was always so full of life and as crazy as it might sound, I think Danny would want us to be glad that he lived the best of his life.” I finished before walking off.Mason made a speech about his father too and watching him stand there just made my heart come crashing down.“We disagree on a lot
