I woke up to my phone ringing.

"Fück. Hello?" I groan into the phone, Mason stirring next to me.

"Leah, where are you?" Luke asks.

"I'm at Masons, why?" I yawn, whispering.

"Can I hang out with an old friend today?" He asks.

"Yeah of course. We can do something tomorrow before you go to LA" I say, closing my eyes.

"Thanks Le. See you later. Love you" He hangs up.

I roll back over, nuzzling into the covers.

"Mm, babe?" Mason questions.

"Yeah?" I ask, yawning.

"What are you doing?" He laughs, causing me to open my eyes.

My eyes bulge when I see I'm in fact nuzzling his boxers.

"I-I'm sorry" I blush.

"All good" He smiles, kissing my temple.

"What time is it? I could go back to sleep for years" I stretch.

"Its 10:00" He rubs his eyes.

"Shįt, that late? I forgot to call in sick. Oh my gosh" I ramble, jumping out of bed.

"Le, calm down. Sydney gave you today off. Remember? Its okay to sleep in" Mason says, pulling my arm to lay back down next to him.

"Now come on, lets get dressed and we can do something" He kisses my cheek.

I nod, making my way to Ellie's room to borrow some clothes.

I ransack her closet, grateful that she spent the night with Brooks.

I grab a red t-shirt thats crossed in the front and a black skirt, slipping some black sandals on and doing some light makeup.

I style my hair so that the hįckeys aren't visible.

Then it hits me. We have school today.

"Mason, we have school today" I shriek.

"We took today off. Its okay Le" He laughs, turning around, looking as good as ever.

"You look great" He breathes.

"I just threw a skirt and t-shirt on" I laugh.

"And it looks great" He brushes my hair.

"Can I do your hair for today?" He asks.

"No" I laugh, knowing he wants me to wear it up.

"Come on, please" He whines.

"I'll compromise" I roll my eyes, putting my hair half up and wrapping a scrunchie around it.

"Good?" I ask.

"Yeah, thats the best we're gonna get" He smiles, wrapping his arms around my shoulders.

"I can't believe I'm cutting school. You're changing me White" I joke, leaning into him.

"No, you've changed me" He smiles, kissing my temple.

"In what way?" I cross my arms.

"You know what ways" He laughs, brushing my hair off my shoulder. "And I couldn't be more grateful"

"Now, lets go for lunch" He kisses me.

"Where to?" I get into his car.

"I found a cute little café the other day" He smiles, pulling out.

I make a mental note of the candid picture I need to take of him. My lock screen needs to be updated.

"Whats going through that pretty brain of yours?" Masons asks, the car in park and in front of our destination.

"Oh, I-I'm sorry" I stutter, unbuckling my seatbelt.

"Nothing to be sorry for love" He gets out of the car, opening the door for me.

"What a gentleman" I joke.

"Why thank you m'lady" He jokes back, grabbing my hand.

"I can't wait to take a nap when I get home" I laugh, sitting down.

"I could use a nice nap" He smiles.

"I wouldn't mind continuing last nights ordeal either" He whispers.

A blush fills my cheeks and the waitress comes over.

"Hello, I hope your days going well. I'm Jennifer and I'll be serving you today. Can I get you two started on a drink?" She smiles.

"I'll have a water please" I smile, putting my menu down.

"And I'll have a Coke. Thanks" Mason continues looking through the menu.

"Its so cute in here" I say glancing around.

"I knew you would love it" He smiles, looking up at me.

The lady comes back with our drinks and takes our order. I get a salad and Mason gets a sandwich.

We talk for a while, enjoying our meal.

After the café we go for a little walk in the park.

"So, how have you been holding up?" Mason asks.

"Better than I thought. I might visit them soon. I'm not sure though. Get some closure" I say, not really sure of what to do.

"Like what do I do in this moment? I know what they did is horrible but they're still my parents. I feel like I owe them or something" I shrug.

"I can come with you if you want. You do what you feel like you should or need to do. You don't owe them shįt Le" He says, sitting down on a blanket he placed under a tree.

"I don't know. I haven't been thinking much about it. Just trying to get all those years back" I shudder at the memory.

"Did they ever like. Never mind" Mason starts, pulling my hand.

"No, go ahead. You can ask me anything Mason" I sit in between his legs, leaning against his chest.

"I think its crossing a line" He scratches his head.

"Just say it Mason" I turn around, playing with his shirts collar.

"Okay, um. Did they, you know. Like do anything else? Like sexually" Mason mumbles out.

"Um" I mutter, suddenly uncomfortable.

"They did?" Masons face drops, his knuckles starting to turn white.

"No, no. My father. He um threatened to. But no, nothing like that ever happened" I grab his fist, kissing his hand.

"Thank God" He presses a kiss to my forehead.

"It was the reason why I could never stay out late" I shiver at the memories.

"Okay, come here" He pulls me into a hug, rubbing my back soothingly.

"I'm good" I say, turning around and leaning against his chest.

"Okay Le" He runs his fingers through my hair, making the curls look more natural.

"We can chill here for a little and then go back to my place" He says.

"Okay" I yawn, leaning my head back on his shoulder.

"That strawberry daiquiri was really good yesterday" I mumble, causing Mason to laugh.

"Oh yeah?" He asks.

"Yeah, it was. What type of alcohol is normally in it?" I question.

"Rum, but not a lot. Why?" He asks.

"Hm, thats sounds good" I open my eye, observing his face.

"What?" He says, confused.

"I would like to try that one day" I clarify.

"Leah, I thought you said you never wanted to drink" Mason says.

"Not underaged I don't. But I also want to enjoy myself. A drink every once and a while never hurt anyone" I smile.

"Don't force yourself Le" He shakes his head, a frown on his face.

"Don't worry. I have three years to go back and forth with myself" I laugh, putting my head in the crook of his neck.

"I really like this outfit" He plays with the hem of my skirt.

"Why thank you, kind sir" I try to sound proper.

"You're welcome ma'am" He reciprocates the act.

"Can we go back now?" Mason clears his throat after a couple minutes.

"Sure, is everything okay?" I ask, standing up.

"Mhm" He nods, picking up the blanket.

"Mason" I grab his arm, worried.

"Yeah?" He asks, his blue eyes finding mine.

"Whats wrong?" I lace our fingers together.

"No, nothing. I just. You know" He furrows his eyebrows.

"I don't. I don't know" I shake my head, running my fingers through his hair. His eyes get darker, pupils dilating.

"Oh, gotcha" I nod, giggling.

"Yeah" He drags out, laughing.

"Well then, lets go" I smirk, walking back to the car.

"Jesus Christ" He mutters to himself, a smile spreading on my face.

Mason practically speeds home, jumping out of the car as soon as its in park.

I run into his room, continuing with the plan.

"So what are we watching?" I ask, opening his computer.

"What?" He breathes out.

"Thats why you wanted to come home. Right? To watch a movie" I say, holding back a smile.

"My gosh" He laughs, shaking his head.

"What?" I smile, innocently.

"You, Williams. You're going to be the death of me" He smiles, connecting our lips.

I squeal when his hands grasp my wait, lifting me to straddle his waist.

"You have no chill huh? What if I don't want this?" I pull away, smiling.

"Okay, fine. Do you want this?" He smiles.

"I never said I didn't" I laugh.

"Okay, so shut up and kiss me" He pulls my scrunchie out, sliding it on his wrist.

I laugh, kissing him.

Fireworks erupt in my stomach and everything around me disappears. Its just Mason and I.

He pulls away, leaving small kisses on my chest. His mouth getting dangerously close to my breasts.

My stomach starts to flip, nerves filling my body as his hands trail under my shirt.

"M-Mason" I whimper, not being able to finish my sentence.

"I-I'm sorry. I got carried away" He pulls away, removing his hands.

"No, its okay. I-I um-" I blush, embarrassed.

"I really hope I didn't go too far" He rambles, placing his head in his hands.

"Mason, hun. Look at me" I brush his hair back.

"I was just nervous, okay? It was all fine" I run my hand down his cheek.

"Oh. Oh, Okay" He says, relief flooding his face.

"So, um. What can we watch?" He asks, reaching for the computer.

I frown, mad at myself for ruining the mood.

"Le, can you hand me the computer?" He asks.

"No" I frown, placing his hands on my hips.

"What are you doing?" He asks.

"I'm sorry for ruining the mood" I frown, scooting up a bit to get closer to Mason, causing him to suck in a breath.

"I won't do it again" I place my hands behind his neck.

"Leah, I don't think you should do that" He mumbles as I fix my skirt. A light blush erupts on my face and he grips my waist.

"I-um" I mumble. "Just. Just don't move" He laughs.

I sit for a while, not knowing what to do.

"Better?" I ask, moving to get up.

"Mm, no" He laughs, letting go of my waist.

I notice the huge bulge in his pants, another blush spreading across his face.

"I'm um. Is there anything I can do?" I stutter, my nerves picking up again.

"No, no. I'm fine" He says, standing up.

"O-Okay" I stutter.

"Don't be embarrassed Le. Its natural" He taps my nose, a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry" I frown.

"What for?" He asks, wrapping his arms around me.

"I just said I wouldn't kill the mood and I did" I sigh.

"Nope, this time it was on me. I'm just so in love with you" He mumbles, running his hands through my hair.

"Mason. That was so cute. I love you too" I pull away, smiling.

"Come here" I pull him to Ellie's room.

"Why are we in here?" He laughs.

"I want a picture" I frown, standing in front of the mirror.

He wraps his arms around my shoulders, hugging me close to him and smiles at the camera.

I put the phone over my face and take the picture, causing Mason to frown.

"Nuh uh, your face isn't in that. Go again" He moves my phone over so my face is visible.

I laugh, taking another picture.

"Lets go on photo booth" He smiles, running into his room.

"I have to get going soon Mason" I say, walking into his room.

"But why" He whines.

"Belles been home alone all day. You can come with me if you want" I lay down on his bed.

"Gotcha. Okay, I'll stay for a little" He says, grabbing his keys.

"Can I drive?" I frown.

"Why?" He laughs, handing me a water.

"Because I love your car. It drives and looks so nice. Pleaseeeee" I whine.

"As you wish" He laughs, handing me the keys.

"Thank you" I kiss his cheek, running to start the car.

When we get to the apartment I change, throwing on some spandex and a hoodie.

"Show it off babe" Mason chuckles.

"No, put this on" I hand him the one I stole from him a while ago.

"Stop overreacting" He laughs.

"No, I really would like to keep my boyfriend. Intact" I stress, handing him the hoodie again.

"Fine" He rolls his eyes, a smile on his face.

I place some food down for Bella, laying down on the couch.

Mason joins me, lifting my head so it rests on his lap.

"What can we watch?" I ask, yawning.

"Anything" Mason shrugs, putting a magic show on.

"I'm home" Cody sings, walking in the door.

"Hey Code" I shoot my hand up, waving at the door.

"Hey Leah. Mason, how are you man? How was the ball yesterday?" He smiles, sitting down.

"I'm good, thanks. It was good. She's a natural. She looked even more breathtaking than she usually does" Mason smiles, brushing through my hair.

"Good, good. I want to see pictures later. I see you guys had some fun after. Might want to hide that before Luke comes home" He smirks, a blush spreading on my face.

"My gosh Cody" I shriek, throwing a pillow at him.

"Just, take my advice" He laughs, causing me to shake my head, sitting up.

"I'm going to murder you. Put your hood up" I say to Mason.

"Fine, happy?" He flips it up, fixing his hair.

Woah.

"Leah, you got some drool right there" Cody laughs.

"You look good. Why don't you wear hoodies more often?" I play with the strings on mine.

"I didn't know you liked them" He smiles, pulling me into him.

"Mas, I practically lived in them a couple months ago" I laugh, stopping when the door opens.

'Keep it up' I mouth to Mason, fixing my hair.

"Hey kids" Luke ruffles our hair, laughing.

"Hey Luke" I smile.

"What were you two up to today that you had to miss school?" Luke sits down on the love seat.

Cody chuckles, walking into his room.

"I accidentally slept in. We got in late last night" I say, hugging the hoodie close to me.

"Gotcha. So we'll do something tomorrow after school?" He asks.

"Yeah, if thats okay with you. I'm almost done" I say.

"Yeah, of course" Luke nods, opening his soda.

"Man, I still can't believe you're home" I shake my head, laughing.

"Yes I am. And I surprised you good" He takes a sip, smiling.

"I'm so glad I didn't slip up" Mason chuckles.

"So am I" Luke nods, turning his attention to the TV.

Short update, my apologizes. I'm laying on the beach, on vacation with some friends. So, that should explain how short it is. The beach is my absolute favorite place (along with the barn). I wish I could be here forever. Its such a beautiful place to write. Listening to the waves crashing is so relaxing. I hope you enjoyed.
