Chapter: 2

Lydia's POV:

I wasn't ready for the sight awaiting me. Cause standing in front of me in all his glory was none other than Mason Carter.

I think I stopped breathing for a while. The way I drew in a deep breath made his eyebrows shoot up in curiosity. If I thought he slayed the pictures then the pictures didn't do justice to the man standing in front of me. Clad in black jeans and a white shirt that emphasized his athletic body, his soft dark hair was perfectly tousled to give that sexy look and the defined cheekbones gave his face a sharp look. But for me, it was as if the world had suddenly turned murky grey and I was enveloped in the depths of it, because his eyes were focused on me and me only.

I don't know if it was 2 or 20 minutes but eventually, Mason cleared his throat breaking me out of my trance.

"Lydia, Hi"

"Hi" I almost didn't recognize the mousy sound that came out of my throat.

I went in for a hug at the same time he extended his hand for a handshake. Cue the awkwardness.

We did an awkward handshake and then he pulled me in for an even more awkward side hug after which he gestured me in.

I heard the sound of heels clicking on the floor and then Mrs. Carter appeared in front of me looking as graceful as always. When she spotted me, she gave me one of her infamous smiles and then enveloped me in a warm hug.

"Oh, Lilly darling so good to see you" after which she quickly added "looking beautiful as always".

"Why thankyou Julia. You just keep aging in reverse" she had a bashful look on her face quickly dismissing me but I could see she loved the compliment. It was true though both best friends were quite youthful and graceful for their age.

She led me over to the plush couch and we sat and chatted a bit related to mom, the company and just generally everything. Mason was just casually leaning against the doorframe watching our exchange in amusement.

"Now Mace why don't you take her somewhere and spend some time together, I'm sure you two must have a lot to catch up on" She turned her attention to Mason and gestured between the both of us.

I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, ready to get up but his next sentence kept me rooted in place.

"Sorry Mom," he looked at me, "Lilly, but I actually have plans..........with Gem". He cautiously spoke the last part as if he was afraid of something.

I don't know what my face looked like but it would've expressed my confusion because he began to explain whom he was talking about but before he could do so a loud thud was heard from the stairs. Something or more like someone just slipped down the stairs and was now on the floor groaning.

Mason was quick to dash over across the room and attend to the girl who had just fallen.

"Gosh Gem are you okay?" he scooped her up bridal style in his arms and laid her down on the couch quickly inspecting her to see if she was hurt anywhere. We could see the panic on his face.
