Gareth Southgate's Daughter

Chapter 10

Lexie POV
Ever since that night at Maguire's house, I've been getting closer to Mason. We've spent time alone as well as with the boys, of course they don't suspect anything.

It's been 6 months since Harvey and I split up. I'm better off without him. I've got amazing people around me who got me through it.

Mason was round to see me today. It's been nice spending time with him and getting to know him.

"Hey Lex." Mason smiled, joining me in the kitchen. "Hey, you know you basically live on fyp. You're the most wanted man on TikTok." I giggled. "What can I say? I'm so lovable." He winked.

Mason came close to me as I showed him the videos that fans had created on TikTok. We laughed at some of the edits but they were all really good.

Every time I'm close with Mason I get butterflies but then I try to shrug it off as he's not going to feel the same way. Why would he when he has so many people crushing on him.

"How are you feeling?" Mason asked, handing me a drink. "I'm ok." I sighed. "Lex?" He questioned. "Tell me the truth." "I'm over Harvey 100% but I just don't think I'm ever going to find the right boy." I confessed. "Yes you will. You're beautiful and talented, you can have anyone you want." Mason replied. "Mase boys only want to be with me because of my name. They get with me so they can go to the big parties and meet all of these big names and then they leave me." A few tears ran down my cheeks.

Mason gently wiped my tears. I smiled at his touch. I can't believe I'm crying in front of him, it's the last thing I wanted to do. I didn't want him to think I was weak.

"It's their loss for letting the most gorgeous girl walk out of their life." He spoke softly. "You don't mean that." I said, gently pushing him. "I mean every word." He said soothingly.

We looked into each other's eyes for what felt like for ages. Wow I could get lost in them.

"Lex I need to tell you something, something that I've been keeping a secret for a while now." Mason said, looking really nervous. I nodded with a puzzled look, giving him the go ahead. "I like you."

I felt my jaw hit the floor.

"You like me?" I managed to speak after a few moments. Mason nodded. "Since when?" I asked. "Since the first day I met you." Mason confessed. "I want to take you out, show you how you should be treated." He said, gently running his fingers against my hand.

Damn he's good.

"My dad won't let this happen, you know what he said at the training ground." I said, moving my hand away from his. "We can keep it a secret. Lex, I'm crazy about you. I want you." He pleaded. "I don't want you to get in trouble." I spoke softly, not looking at him.

Without saying anything Mason kissed me and it didn't take long for me to kiss him back. Fireworks erupted in my stomach. Mason had his hands on my cheeks and mine were on his waist. No one has made me feel like this before.

Mason finally pulled away and we were both smiling.

"One chance? No one will know, let's see how it goes between us." He pleaded. "Will this even work?" I asked. "There's only one way to find out." He said, moving a piece of hair out of my face. "Ok. We'll see how this secret goes." I giggled slightly.

Mason was so happy, like a little boy on Christmas Day.

He gently kissed me again. "I've always wanted to be a wag." I giggled as he held me close. "You're the sexiest wag I know." He smirked and pecked my lips.

Mason POV
Okay what?! Never in a million years did I think that Lexie would agree to this; it was a long shot to begin with.

I do want to show her off to the world but I know it's best to keep us a secret for the minute. I'm going to give her the world.

"Can we go to Starbucks?" Lexie begged, giving me the puppy dog eyes. "I can never say no to that face." I chuckled giving her a peck before we headed out.

During the car journey, we had an amazing time. I love hearing her sing, she's so talented.

Lexie was definitely happy with her Starbucks but she wasn't happy that I paid. She insisted to pay or give me the money but I wasn't haven't it. I know how to treat a girl right.

How did I get lucky with Lexie?
