"Hi beautiful, nice to meet you"
Lily put her hand in his and he kissed it like she was a princess (and she's my daughter so she is a princess). Lily was gushing at this point and she was adorable. "Mommy says that your our superhero!" Oh. Well that's kinda awkward.
Mason let out a little laugh.
"I think your mommy's wrong, she's more of a superhero than I am." I couldn't help but smile.
I wonder if Mason could make a life with lily.
Whatever, I'm not gonna think that far ahead I'm just gonna take things slow. A couple hours passed by and Mason left after playing with lily. It was lilys bedtime so I tucked her in, read her a book, and kissed her goodnight. I went into my room and checked my phone. There were three unread messages. I checked the first one and it was from Ajax. Fuck. I need to figure out a plan to keep him away from my family. I'll go to masons house tomorrow and research Ajax and his gang, lily will be at playgroup so I'll have a lot of time. Right now I'm just gonna sleep. I wake up the next morning and get ready, I then woke up lily and made pancakes while she got ready. Me and lily ate and we left the house so I could drop her off at playgroup. I was on my way to masons house when I got a call, my car was connected to my phone so I answered it from there. "Hello? This is Everleigh speaking."
"Eve hey!"
Oh my god. It's Ajax. Shit.
"Ajax? Hi! What's up?"
"Not much, I was actually wondering if you'd like to go on a date on Friday?" (It's currently Wednesday) "Um yeah sure! I just need to make sure lily has somewhere where she's being taken care of." "No yeah, of course. Lily is first priority always. Let me know if you have to cancel or we can always bring her with us!" God, Ajax seems so sweet I can't believe he's this big of a liar.
"Of course, I wouldn't want to ruin the date though. Don't worry I'll let you know before tomorrow night!" I hang up and call Mason right away, I still had his number saved. "Hey, mason? It's Everleigh." I had to show a serious tone, I mean I was serious. Dead serious. "Eve? Hi, what's wrong?" Oh he already knew something was up. "Ajax just called me, he wants to go on a date on Friday and I had to say yes. We need to come up with a plan to take him down cause I don't know what he's planning and honestly, I don't wanna know but I have to." "What? Dammit. Can you come over here right now? We need to research him and figure out a plan."
" yeah I'll be on my way, what's the address?"
" it's 4466, pine lane. Be there fast"
"Alright chill out I'm already halfway there I'll see you soon."
"Ok bye"
"Bye."
I feel like it's kinda weird going to masons house. We haven't even talked about things. I mean the past is now clear but I don't know, it's just feeling incomplete. Whatever, we can talk about it after everything with ajax. Right now I wanna focus on keeping my family safe.
I get to masons house, understatement, whole fucking mansion. His guards let me in and I recognize one of them but he recognized me before I did.
"Evie?"
I turned around and recognized his dark blue eyes.
" Leo?!"
Our smiles widen
"Oh my god LEOO!!"
