Only Sleeping ✔️

Chapter 44 | Mason

Big things happening for Will (and Mason, but mostly Will) in this chapter!!

I hope everyone is doing good, I'm back in school so trying to keep up on my classes and stay motivated, but it's not working at all. :/

New upload coming sometime in the near future. I can't promise when cuz we all know I'm bad at that, but I will say sometime soon because I'm ready to wrap this up and share my next story with you all! 🤍

I wake up and Will is gone which immediately annoys me. We're finally doing this together thing and he leaves before I wake up? I scoff and sit up rubbing a hand across my face before pulling on my pants and a t-shirt.

I cross the hall to the bathroom do my business and gargle some mouthwash before heading downstairs and following the noise into the kitchen.

"What the fucks going on?"

Someone slaps my shoulder walking past me into the kitchen.

"Mason I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that, we're making pancakes"

I blink at Sandy before rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly and nodding.

"My bad"

My eyes drift to Will whose gaze is dropped to the ground and his cheeks are pink. I lick my lips smirking, but my look changes when I catch Hank in my peripheral making puking gestures. Sandy thankfully doesn't notice and just gently bumps Hank telling him to move over so she can help clean up the mess.

I let my gaze wander back to Will who is looking incredibly flustered. He's wearing a "Kiss the Cook" apron and it's covered in pancake batter. His hair is pushed back with a headband and his plaid pj pants are a little too long covering his feet.

He quickly gives the bowl he's holding to Hank and moves to take off the apron, but before he can Gage drops an arm around his shoulder stopping him and making me chuckle.

"Oh c'mon Will you're not done yet Mason hasn't even had a chance to see your culinary talents"

Will glares at Gage and Sandy tsks.

"Gage leave your brother alone, he's right though Will I need you on flipping duty!"

Will bites his lip barely glancing at me before quickly moving to the stove and taking the pan from Sandy.

Gage moves next to me and I grunt.

"What's his problem?"

Gage laughs. "He's nervous"

I lift a brow nervous? Why? I thought we'd moved past that.

Gage rolls his eyes. "Oh c'mon, Mason don't be an idiot..."

He pauses waiting for me to think of the answer, but I only stare at him blankly until he huffs spelling it out.

"Your D A T E"

My eyes immediately flicker to Will whose own are wide and he starts to fumble with the pan yelling as he realizes he's burning a pancake.

I can't help the chuckle that leaves my throat and Gage laughs out loud. Sandy however turns around and lifts a brow.

"You're going on a date tonight Mason?"

I tense slightly, but nod.

Sandy smiles "That's sweet whose the lucky girl?"

She pauses before rushing out. "Or boy! I always forget you're...um...versatile"

My lip twitches at that one and Hank snickers under his breath making me narrow my eyes.
