*Olivia's POV*

I have no clue how Mason managed to not get caught crawling in my window last night, but I'm actually really happy he did.

It felt nice sleeping next to him again. I don't know if it's because I spent almost all summer sleeping next to someone, or that I was sleeping next to a Mason I had never seen before. But it was really comforting to feel wanted again.

Am I still 100% on this whole thing? Absoluely not. But, a deal is a deal. I promised him 3 months to prove himself, so that's what he's going to get.

And now here we are, in my bed on Thursday morning, when I started to feel kisses on my neck.

"Ollie." He kissed my neck.

"Ollie, we've got to get up. School." He kissed my neck.

"No." I groaned and put my pillow over my face.

"Don't make me wake you up woman." He kissed my neck again.

I groaned.

"Olivia Annabel Pate, get up." He kept kissing my neck.

"No." I groaned again. "Go home."

"Fine then, wake you up it is." He kissed my neck. And then kissed me down to my collar bone.

He kissed down in to the neck line of my tank top, and then I felt him move down my body.

"What are you doing?" I whispered as I moved my pillow off my face.

"Waking you up." He smirked as he kissed down my hipbones and moved inbetween my thighs.

"I'm awake." I nodded as he pulled my shorts to the side.

"Too late." He nodded as he dove down to kiss my favorite part of my body to be kissed.

I gasped as he did it.

"Mason I'm up." I lightly moaned.

"Trust me. Me too." I felt a slight smile as he continued to kiss the area.

"My parents are home." I threw my head back.

"So put your pillow back on your face, and shut up Ol." He let out a deep breath as he slid a finger in.

He went for a few minutes and then out of no where someone knocked on my door.

"What!" I jumped and started slapping Masons hand away.

But he just grabbed them, held them at my sides, and kept going.

"Why is your door locked?" I heard Connor ask.

"Because I have 3 brothers and I need privacy." I let out with a deep breath.

"So come unlock it now." He yelled.

"I'm not out of bed yet Connor." I said trying to cover up the moan as much as I can.

"What the hell is wrong with you, are you sick or something?" He knocked again.

"N-No. I'm just, I'm getting there." I closed my eyes trying to hold back another moan as Mason just kept going.

"Out of bed?"

"Connor, I'm getting there." I pursed my lips.

And eveidently me saying 'i'm getting there.' Mason took as me saying go faster, which, it kind of was. He let go of one of my hands and slid a finger back in.

"Ol!" Connor yelled.

"Go downstairs Connor." I yelled and put my hand over my mouth.

"Alright! God!" He yelled as I heard him start going down the stairs.

Mason went faster, and harder until I couldn't hold in in anymore.

I threw my pillow back over my face and lightly yelled "Holy fuck." In to my pillow.

He slowed down, came to a complete stop, and made his way back up my body.

He moved the pillow off my face and just hovered over top of me. "Good morning." He whispered and smirked.

"That was not funny." I shook my head and pursed my lips.

"But it was insanely good." He nodded.

"Get out of my room." I pointed out the window.

"You, look so pretty when you wake up." He leaned down and kissed me.

And all I could do was stare at him.

He sighed and rolled off me. "Ol." He shook his head and just laid next to me.

"Huh?"

"Scared face." He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

I just pursed my lips.

"I'm trying." He rolled to his side and leaned on his elbow. "It's been 3 days, and I'm doing things that I have never done for any girl before. Is that not enough?"

"I never said that." I shook my head.

"You know, I havent even talked to another girl beside Sienna and Abby, I mean, Katie that one time in English but other than that, no one. Mean while, you've been talking to Cam, and Will and I-" He took a deep breath again. "I'm trying." He shook his head.

I reached up, pulled him down by his neck, and just kissed him. "I know." I nodded. "And I promise I'm trying too. I'm just-"

He cut me off. "Scared." He pursed his lips.

"Olivia!" I heard Connor outside my door again.

"I'm coming!" I yelled.

I heard steps going down the stairs.

"You actually already did." Mason whispered and smirked.

I let out a small laugh and pulled him in to another kiss. "Go home, I'll see you in my kitchen in what, 10 minutes?" I smiled.

He rubbed his nose against mine. "What're you doing to me Olivia Pate." He smiled.

"We've got 3 months to find out." I nodded.

"I'll see you in a few minutes." He gave me a small kiss and got up.

He crawled out my window, up his lattuce by his window, and in to his room.

And then my phone went off.

M; Do me favor, and wear my sweater. I'm gonna make sure you actually get to keep it.

O; How so?

M; Just trust me, and when I get there, say no.

I shook my head and got out of bed.

I put my curl cream in my hair, did my make-up, put on a pair of bootcut jeans, my crocs, and Mason's crewneck, grabbed my bag, and walked downstairs.

"Good morning." I smiled.

"What took so long." Oaken shook his head.

"Hey Con." We heard from the back door. "Have you seen my-" Mason walked in and just looked at me. "Really?" He shook his head.

"What." I shrugged.

"You've had my sweater all weekend, you ever going to give it back?" He pursed his lips.

"No." I shook my head and smirked.

He looked at Connor and Oaken. "She's not even my sister."

"Close enough." My mom nodded. "Oaken, we need you home right after school."

"Why, am I grounded too?" Oaken rolled his eyes.

"No." She shook her head. "And neither is Connor."

"Really?" Connor looked at her.

She nodded.

"We need you home because we have to go to the mall." My dad pursed his lips.

"I don't need anything from the mall." He gave him a look.

My mom sighed. "We, are taking you to get fitted for hockey skates." She pursed her lips.

"Really?" His head shot up.

She nodded.

And then Oaken looked at me. "What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything." I shook my head.

He gave me a look, and I nodded toward Connor.

He looked at Connor. "Really?"

Connor leaned back and crossed his arms. "If you're serious about doing it, you should be able too." He shrugged.

"You can't stand hockey." Oaken shook his head.

"No." He shook his head. "But I love you." He sat forward and put his elbows on the table. "Do you really think I like dance? But, I havent missed a recital or competition. I've never told her no to helping her either. I don't have to like the sports you guys do to support you. So, if you want to play hockey, I'm gonna be at every game." He let out a small smile.

Oaken let out a small smile too. "Thank you."

"It wasn't my decision." Connor shrugged.

"Thank you Mom." Oaken looked over at her.

"I'm sorry baby." She shook her head.

"It's Ok." He nodded.

"Awe, Momma Holly's growing up." Mason pouted.

"Shut up Mason." She rolled her eyes.

I looked over at Connor.

"Don't say it." He shook his head.

"You're a good brothe Con." I nodded.

"I have my moments." He shrugged.

*Mason's POV*

Oaken decided to ride with Connor and I to school. And I didn't talk the entire time to get Ben. All I could think about was this morning, waking up next to Olivia, waking her up, her being terrified of me. The first part, great. The second part, hott. The third part, upsetting because I have never scared her before. But, with me being who I am, I kind of get why she is. I just don't know if she's ever going to realize that I'm actually serious.

"Mase." Connor yelled.

I snapped out of the daze I was in and looked over to my passengers seat. "Huh?"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He shook his head.

"Nothing, why?" I shook my head.

"You haven't said shit since I got in the car." Ben said from the back seat.

"You haven't said shit since we got in the car." Oaken laughed.

"Just, have that English presentation today. Carter did everything, but-"

Connor cut me off. "Public speaking. Dude, you have no problems spitting game to groups of girls, just imagine the entire class is a bunch of girls." He shrugged.

"God knows you've slept with half of them." Oaken laughed again.

"Aren't Ol and Sie in your english class?" Ben shook his head.

"Yes. Unfortunately I got Carter for a partner. Sienna got Katie, and Ol got the shit end of the stick."

"Just look down at your paper the whole time." Oaken shrugged.

"You guys are so much help." I shook my head.

We got to school, Ben went to his locker, and Oaken and I went to Connors with him.

"Hey Oaken." Will walked up to us.

"Will." Oaken nodded.

"Connor, Mason." He pursed his lips.

"Grayson." We both crossed our arms.

"Have you by any chance thought about what we talked about yesterday?" He asked Oaken.

"Actually yeah." Oaken pursed his lips. "I talked to my parents about it last night. They're gonna take me to get fitted for skates after school."

"Awesome." Will smiled. "Glad to hear it. Uh, why don't you get my number from Olivia and we'll talk about when you want to start."

"OK." Oaken nodded. "Any type of skate you reccommend?"

"Uh, Yeah." He nodded. "You can't go wrong with Bauers. For you, I'd look at Bauers Supreme's. Maybe the S36's."

"Awesome. Thanks." Oaken smiled. "Uh, I have to go find Amber. You two are taking me home?" He pointed at Connor and I.

I nodded.

"Alright. I'll get ahold of you later Will." He pointed at him and walked away.

"Amber?" Will looked at Connor and I.

"Girlfriend." Connor nodded.

"Nice." Will nodded. "I couldn't even get a girlfriend as a freshman."

"You're not just fucking with Oaken, are you?" I shook my head.

He looked at me and scrunched his face. "No." He shook his head. "I don't fuck around when it comes to my sports. I approached Oaken because, because I see something in him. And pretty sure it's the next me. With the right person helping him, I can see him going pretty far. Can you two think of someone better to help him than me, or?"

"You're not just using this as an excuse to get close to Olivia?" Connor shook his head.

"I don't need an excuse to get close to Olivia." He raised his eyebrows. "Her and I are just friends. And if I want to be more than just friends with her, she's who I should talk to, not you two. So I suggest you stay out of our business."

"Her business is my business." Connor crossed his arms.

"Mine's not. And if my business involves her, you can keep your ass out of it. I'm not Saunders, I don't care what you do to me. Cause I do it back better. Understood?" Will shook his head and walked away.

Connor sighed. "Grayson."

"What Pate?" He turned around.

"What kind of hockey stick do you reccommend for him?" Connor shook his head.

"Why?" Will rolled his eyes.

"Because we got Olivia her new pointe shoes, so we're getting Oaken his hockey stick." I pursed my lips.

"You two can't stand hockey players." Will shook his head.

"But we love my little brother. So if you're dancing with my sister and hanging out with my brother, you better get used to us. Because we've never missed a recital or competition, and we won't miss a game if he's playing either." Connor shrugged.

Will nodded. "Alright then. Price matter?"

"Nope." I shook my head.

"Uh, for him, something durable. The only stick I haven't snapped or cracked is a Bauer, just like the skates. Probably a Bauer Supreme. S2 model, get him a team grip, it'll help him have more control. And, how much do you think he weighs?"

"Uh, 140? Around there?" Connor looked at me.

"Then, get him, at least a 77 flex." Will nodded.

"What?" I scrunched my face.

"Flex, is how much pressure it'll take the bend the stick shaft. You always want to try to get a stick with a flex rating that's at least half your body weight."

Connor sighed. "Alright." He nodded.

"And, for the record, I'm not after Olivia." He shook his head. "I barely know her. But if we keep dancing together, I do get to know her, and I like what I'm learning, then I'm gonna pursue her. And, I have a tendancy of getting what I want. So, I suggest you two stay out of my way, if you know what's good for you." He raised his eyebrows and walked away.

"Why is it the one dude none of us are going to step to, is spending time with my siblings?" Connor looked at me.

"Uh, the one dude you wont step to." I pointed at him.

"He starts fucking with my sister I just might." He crossed his arms.

"Liv won't give him the time of day in that area." I shook my head.

"How do you know."

"I just do." I shrugged.

"Lets hope so." He shook his head. "Good luck in English." He patted my back as he walked away.

First period flew by, and unfortunately it was time for english.

I walked in, and sat down with Ol waiting for Sienna.

"Question." I sat looked over at her.

"Yes?" She pursed her lips.

"There any chance you and Grayson are gonna get together? Cause if there is, let me know so I can-"

"Whoah, what the hell is this?" She shook her head.

"He came and talked to Oaken this morning, Connor asked if he was just doing it as an excuse to get close to you, he said he didn't need an excuse and that if he wanted to get close to you, he needed to talk to you, not us."

"Which is true." She nodded.

"Then told us that if he keeps dancing with you, getting to know you, and if he likes what he's learning, that he's going to pursue you. And if Connor and I knew what was good for us, we would stay out of his way. So if you're feeling him-"

"Feeling who?" Sienna plopped down on the other side of her.

Olivia sighed. "I am not in to Will. Ok?" She shook her head.

"Will Grayson?" Sienna raised her eyebrows.

"Well apparently he's taken some type of interest in you." I crossed my arms.

"Who cares." Sienna gave me a look. "Will's hott. And he's a great guy."

"You don't help." I shook my head.

"First up to present, Katie and Sienna." Miss Jordan smiled and sat at her desk.

Sienna and Katie went up to the front of the class.

"Ol." I shook my head.

"Text." She nodded.

I pulled out my phone.

O; So you can what Mason? Go back to sleeping around?

I looked over at her and scrunched my face.

M; No Ol. So I can figure out what I'm up against. I don't want to sleep with anyone. The sooner you get that through your head, the sooner you'll realize how serious I actually am. So shut the hell up, and stop thinking the worst of me.

She looked over at me and raised her eyebrows.

I pursed my lips and looked down.

O; If I wanted Will, you would know. I don't want Will. I clearly want you, or I wouldn't be beating my brains out trying to clear out every possible bad outcome of this.

And I couldn't help but let out a smile.

O; What?

M; You want me?

O; Oh shut up.

M; Ol, you have me. Now, let me have you.

Then everyone started clapping.

"Next up, Carter and Mason." Miss Jordan smiled.

"Oh my god no." I closed my eyes.

"You're gonna be fine Mason." Olivia nodded.

I took a deep breath and walked up to the front of the classroom.

"We chose the poem To Helen by Edgar Allen Poe." Carter smiled. "Mason's going to read the poem then I'm going to do the explanation."

"Alright boys." Miss Jordan nodded.

All I could do was stand there and shake.

"Mason." Carter looked at me.

I opened my mouth but nothing came out.

"Mason breathe." Miss Jordan said from her desk.

And I tried, I really tried.

"Helen, thy beauty is to me." I heard come from the class infront of me.

"Olivia?" Miss Jordan gave her a look.

"Like those Nicean barks of yore." Olivia pursed her lips

"That gently, o'er a perfumed sea." I said with a shaky voice. "The weary, way worn wanderer bore. To his own native shore."

I cleared my throat and just looked at Olivia. She nodded and smiled.

I was still shaking, but I started to slowly relax.

"On desperate seas long wont to roam, thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face." I read off the paper with my hands still shaking. "Thy naiad airs have brought me home to the glory that was Greece, and that grandeur that was Rome."

I looked back up at Liv, she nodded again.

I took a deep breath. "Lo! in yon brilliant window niche, how statue like I see thee stand, the agate lamp withing thy hand! Ah, Psyche from the regions which. Are Holy-Land."

"Compared to previous years. Well done Mason." Miss Jordan smiled.

"Can I sit down please." I stood there shaking, horrifed.

"Yes, you may. Thank you Olivia."

Olivia gave a small smile and nodded.

"Carter you can continue wih your evaluation." Miss Jordan brought me over a chair to sit in.

I just sat there shaking as Carter finished our presentation.

"Very well done boys." Miss Jordan nodded. "A." She smiled.

"Thank you." Carter smiled.

"Can I go back to my seat now." I sat there still shaking.

"Yes, you can. I'm very proud of you." She smiled.

"Thank you." I stood up and basically ran to my seat. "Oh my god kill me." I sighed and put my head on my desk.

"You did great." Sienna nodded.

"Olivia had to say the first two lines." I shook my head.

"But you did the rest." Olivia smiled.

And then Saunders turned around and let out a little laugh.

"Oh shut up Cameron." We heard from across the room. "He did fine."

"Thanks Carter." I sighed.

He nodded and turned toward the front of the class.

"Oh my god Carter Pruitt just defended me." I burried my face in Olivia's shoulder. She sighed and threw her arm around me.

"He's still not over this public speaking thing?" I heard Sienna say.

"No!" I whined.

"Dude, you spit game to numerous girls at once." Sienna shook her head.

A few more presentations went by.

"Next, Cameron and Olivia." Miss Jordan said from the front of the room.

I sighed and sat up as they made their way to the front.

"We chose a different style of poem." Cameron nodded.

"It's actually a slam poem by Rudy Fransisco called Scars/To The New Boyfriend. We're going to take turns reading the verses, and then give our individual evaluations of what we took from it." Olivia pursed her lips.

"Alright." Miss Jordan nodded.

"One. If I could, I would nail these hands to the edges of stars. I would sacrifice this body to the sky, hoping to resurrected someone spiteful enough to not care about you anymore." She looked over at him.
