Love and war

Chapter 25, a party

Today was the day that me and lily finally moved in to masons house.

I found a beautiful family and gave it to them for lease.
At least what I worked hard for will be taken care of by some sweet, caring people.

We brought a bunch of our things and Mason literally made a whole room for lily. He built her an adorable princess bed and decorated it so well, it made my heart happy. I got a room upstairs across from his, and lily's was connected to mine with a shared bathroom.

Lily would not stop smiling all day it was frikin adorable, she and Mason played together all day. Tomorrow Mason is taking me shopping to buy a dress for the ball since I couldn't find something in my wardrobe fit for a ball. Gosh darn my non richness that took away my chance of buying a gown.

I'm kidding, I love my life and I have a great salary. Today I showed some plans for a house design to a recently married couple, they were adorable and all they wanted was to make a family with each other. They really inspired me for this design and it was amazing. I spent a few hours working a different designs for a couple other clients and then I had a karaoke session in my office.

It was amazing.

I always need a good stress reliever, and even if I'm not stressed it just makes my day so much fun and gives me time for myself, I love it. When we got home we all put on matching pjs and watched a movie. I've been watching anime movies since I was young and my favourite one to watch was arrietty.

Mason has never watched it and I always forgot to watch it with lily, so I made a plan and got their butts downstairs to watch it.

I love this movie.

Me and Mason tuck lily into bed, say goodnight to each other and go to bed. I woke up early the next morning and felt productive to do things.
Mason was gonna take me shopping today in around five hours so I have time to do stuff.
I took a nice bath and got ready.

I put on a dark red tank top and some light ripped jeans, topped it off with a bunch of jewelry and went downstairs to make breakfast.
Lily comes downstairs when I'm almost finished making omelettes,

"Good morning mommy!"

"Good morning beautiful, are you ready for your playdate today?"

We planned a play date with Jordan's parents since him and lily got along so well, and we thought that since me and Mason are going shopping she'd get bored so she can stay with Jordan until then.

"I'm really excited mommy, I had a lot of fun the other day with Jordan!"

"That's good baby, here take your omelette and go eat. Is daddy here yet?"

"I woke him up before coming downstairs"

She giggles,

and I smile

"That's my good girl, go eat."

I walk upstairs to see if Mason is gonna come down soon.  I knock on his door and he replies,

"Come in!"

I walk in and he's making his bed, but the thing is he's standing there in gray sweats, shirtless, with his hair all ruffled.

Holy lord he's hot.

"Uh good morning! breakfasts ready, come down fast."

"Alright, thanks! And good morning."

He smiles, God this has gotten harder over the last month he's literally so cute.

I literally love him so much.

Maybe it's time to tell him.

Maybe we can be together again.

I'll tell him after the ball, or during it. I really don't know. Just whenever the moment feels right.

Mason comes down and has his breakfast, then both him and lily go for a shower while I sit around after cleaning a bit. I know we have caretakers to help us around the house and clean for us but I feel bad for them. Mason always gives them good pay and they always work so hard, I like to help them out once in a while.

I put on a quick show to watch and eventually Mason and lily both come downstairs ready to go. I jump up with enthusiasm,

"Are y'all ready to hit it!?"

"Hell yeah"

Mason replies.

"I'm readyyyy!!"

Lily jumps around.

"Alright"

I giggle,

"Calm down you little monkey, save all this energy for your playdate."

Lily giggles and runs off to put her shoes on.
I look at Mason and we both know what's happening.

"Who's driving?"

"Me! Obviously"

I love driving, it's so calming.

"No me!"

Unfortunately Mason also loves driving, especially his favourite car.

I can't put so much thought into a car, I really can't. But I respect the people who do, it's hard work.

I'm just not a person super Interested in cars.

I snatch the keys from Mason and run.

"Ain't no way your driving, you drove when we dropped lily off to daycare. It's my turn."

I run and grab my purse, put my shoes on, and sit in the car turning it on.

"Yeahh babyyy! Time to drivee!"

I drive to Jordan's house and say hi to his parents before leaving. Unfortunately for me Mason takes over the driving seat again
because he "knows where we're going"

As if I don't. Dumbo.

We're almost by the mall when he takes a turn that by a 98% chance probability, doesn't lead towards the mall.

"Mason that's not the turn for the mall. You missed it."

"I know, I never said we were going to the mall. I know a really good place for shopping"

"Really?! Mason. Knows shopping? I must be in heaven."

He smiles a little but still looks annoyed.

That face is actually hilarious.

I need to pee.

Whatever I'll jus pee when we get there.

"I haven't changed a lot ej. Just a few things."

"Oh please, a few things? You have a successful job and own a mansion, you actually have friends," He gives me a dirty look before I continue. Sucker. "Hopefully your not as gullible as before."

I look at him, hinting about what we both know. "I'm sorry ej, you know I am. I regret everything about that part of my life. Your the biggest thing I lost."

"I know Alex, I was just kidding. Don't worry."

We smile at each other for a second and he returns his eyes back to the road. Staring into his hazel eyes gives me so many butterflies and happiness. I've probably said this a million times,
But god I love him.

We pull up to wherever Mason drove to and he opens the door for me to get out.

"I helped out the owner with an investment for this place when they were trying to buy it, he told me I would always be welcomed here and I could come closer or open. Today, it's closed but he called me around a week ago telling me that it'll be a great time to shop around if I wanted too."
