Unexpected Shift - Mason Mount

Request: ❤️
Mason seeing u working (as a waitress or smthing) ans having a crush on u an asking u out

"And he's still staring" your work colleague and close friend whispered as you began pulling yet another pint, "no he's not leave him and his mates alone, I know what you're like" you grinned, rolling your eyes and giving her a 'you know what I'm on about' sort of look. "Ok fine, but if you're not gonna have him then I will" she continued to say, jokingly nudging you as you shook your head, "well then he's all yours because I'm not interested" you smiled, not sure whether that statement was completely true.

I mean she wasn't lying when she mentioned him staring, from the minute he walked through the door and set his gaze upon you, it was like he couldn't take his eyes away from your beauty, which you found baffling. Honestly you hadn't the slightest clue as to why on earth Mason Mount would be looking at you, a part time waitress who works a few shifts every now and then at weatherspoons, it just didn't make sense...

"Bloody hell go and talk to her already, it's not like you've been zoned out for half an hour just following her with your eyes or anything" Dec said while taking a sip of his beer, causing an eruption of laughter between the group of lads, "Ha-ha very funny" Mason sarcastically replied, pulling a fake smile at the lot of them. "Nah it's true mate, you have been staring at her quite a bit to be fair" Ben added, raising an eyebrow, "think someone's fallin..." he trailed off as Mace was quick to defend himself, "don't even" he warned trying to be serious but it was not at all working.

"Ohhh he has an all" James cheered, clapping his hands together while pointing at the poor love struck lad, "ok ok maybe I have a bit..but keep your voice down" Mason hushed as the guys began taking the absolute piss out his flushed cheeks, "he's getting a sweat on bless him" they all cooed, causing his face to heat up even more.

As the time passed and the glasses became empty, the fellas of course shoved Mason to the bar for the next round of beers hoping he'd say at least a few words to you. "Five pints of dark fruits please-" he began as he climbed upon the stool, that was until the lads made a dash for it saying "they had places to be and things to do" which was total bullshit, but their little plan was in fact a success. "Bastards" he swore under his breath as you hummed a small confused reply, "guess it'll be the one pint instead please" Mace nervously giggled as you nodded, throwing him a heartily smile.

"It seems you've been ditched" you half smirked, passing over his drink as he let out a small "yep" at the same time lowering his head from embarrassment. "Happened to me before, many of times" you giggled, leaning against the edge of the bar and softly smiling as he raised his gazed to once again meet yours, "who would dare leave you to drink alone" he dramatically gasped, making a big thing of it as you both fell into the biggest fit of laughter. "Ah you'd be surprised. Anyways fancy a bit of company? It would be wrong of me to let you down that pint in peace now wouldn't it" you winked, grabbing yourself a glass for the side and pouring a large rosè, "don't worry I'm technically off shift by two minutes now, so I'm free to have as much as I like" you spoke, moving around the other side and pulling up a seat beside him.

Half way through a sentence he randomly paused, shaking his head, "I never actually got your name..." he trailed off as you flashed him a kind grin, "it's Y/N" you gently said, gaining a few compliments from him.

Well, after a couple of glasses yous began to make moves to see off the night, you shattered from your shift and Mason realising he'd have to go hunt down his long gone friends seeing as Dec, for some reason, had his keys and obviously he can't get home without them so it looked like he was going for a midnight trip around London. As the both of you said your goodbyes and you started heading down the street in the opposite way to him, a sudden panic came across him, realising he didn't have any way to contact you, so him having the athletic body he was blessed with was quick to run after you, easily catching up with your slow stroll.

"Hey can I maybe get your number and take you out one night next week if you're up for it?" He timidly spoke through a croaky, out of breath voice, surprised at himself for actually gaining the courage to ask you such a question. "Yeah, I'd like that" you casually smiled, handing him your phone, deep down buzzing inside you were asked out by him, "right then, how about next Wednesday?" he said, giving it back to you as you nodded, "perfect" you whispered as he leaned in and pecked your cheek. "It's a date then" he excitedly grinned, "I can't wait Mr Mount" you giggled before turning around and making your way home, feeling like the happiest girl alive in that moment and still processing your evening, what an unexpected shift that was❤️
