A Demon's Love

Chapter 7

I awoke entirely too early in the morning to see Charlotte off.
She shed a tear and I reassured her that she'll be back in London soon again.
The only time I saw Mason was when he was helping with Charlotte's mountain of luggage but not after that and it's been a good few hours now.
Very unlike him.
I shrugged it off and continued on with my day.
By afternoon, I haven't seen Mason still not even heard his voice.
"Father." I say as I walk into the office.
James Taylor glanced up from his desk before leaning back his chair.
"Sage, yes dear." He asks.
I sat opposite him." Have you seen Mason today?"
"Ah yes. He's with your mother, I think they went to a horse racing event or something like that. Why?" My father says, returning back to his paperwork.
"Oh nothing. Just asking."
Oh that's where he's been all day..
Father hummed lowly." You like him don't you?"
I snorted." I do not."
"You don't?"
"No I don't."
"Really? Possibly I misread the look on your face whenever he's near you." Father shrugs, a playful glint in his green eyes.
"I have no idea what you are referring to." I say, trying to hold firm.
James Taylor chuckled, shaking his head in amusement." My dear daughter, the eyes never lie."
I was about to rebuttal but the sound of the front door opening caught my attention but stayed still, trying to prove a point to my father.
'I did not like Mason as much as my father believed' I told myself but as the office door opened my mother walked in with Mason behind her all smiles, I cussed alittle under my breath cause the moment Mason looked at me, I felt completely relaxed.
Damnit Sage! That's not part of the plan.
"James, Sage! My beautiful daughter and darling husband!" My mother Rosa greets loudly.
"She's been day drinking hasn't she?" Father askes but it was more like a statement.
"Alittle..." Mason smiles sheepishly.
My father laughed as his wife attacked him with kisses.
It was cute.
They never lost that excitement for each other.
I can only hope to find a love so strong.
"How much is a little?" Father asks.
Mason made a face." Like 7 whiskey sours little."
Shaking his head, my father gently put his hands on my grinning mother's shoulders.
"I'll take care of her." He says to Mason, then turns to me." I need you to find the Clanton account file for me."
I nodded and my father ustered my mother out the room.
I stood and walked over to my father's desk, shifting some papers at first.
"Can i assist you?" Mason asks.
I paused, glancing up at him." No, thank you."
I know he wasn't expecting that reply because he paused.
"Oh. Oh okay." He said, his tone tight and he surprisingly left the office.
Shit now I feel bad.
No, fuck him.
I shook my head and continued looking for the file.
After a few minutes, I found it and dropped it on the coffee table so it didn't get back into the messy pile of documents.
'It's getting late.' I thought to myself, now noticing the hallway lights are on.
I walked out the office, my attention shifted to the noise coming from the kitchen.
I assume the staff was making dinner.
Slowing down my pace, i tilted my head as i was confused at the sight before me.
"Mason?" I call and he turned, a smirk on his lips and then i saw her.
One of the maids stood there like a deer in headlights with her lip stick smudged, blouse unbuttoned and her underwear down to her ankles.
My eyes then drifted back to Mason,  his black pants that was usually on his waist how it was supposed to be with slack, un zipped, lipstick stains on his neck and the collar of his crip white shirt.
Instead of reacting like a normal person would, i turned and sped walk back the opposite direction.
My hands were shaking, my face wet with tears  and it felt like i just got stabbed.
What the fuck was that?
Were they fucking? No oh gosh no... right?
I grabbed the staircase hand railing to steady myself, hurt and anger going through my body.
This man was really caught having sex in the hallway of his employment and FUCKING SMIRKED?!
i turned to go to find one of my parents but i stopped.
Why am i stopping? Go tell them of the disgusting acts being done in their hallway!
I wanted to move but instead i turned and walked up to my room.
I suddenly felt the need to go lay down, in fact i felt dizzy... am i having a panic attack? No.. i haven't had one in years. 
I had no care to check my room and i just laid down, staring at the light fixtures.
