I stir in my sleep as I wake up slowly. I rub my eyes and remove any crust I have. I feel hot, but I soon realized something is on top of me. Holy shit, who is on top of me right now? Mason has his head in the crook of my neck and his arm wrapped around my waist.

I blush when I realize we're both not wearing any clothes. Oh my god. There's no way we actually slept together. What was I thinking? Did we use protection? He probably regrets it or doesn't think it was good. Why am I so stupid? This was a mistake...

Gently I get him to roll on his back without waking him up. I look at our clothes scattered around before glancing behind me and still seeing him asleep. I pick up my undergarments and quickly put them on along with my dress. I go to the bathroom and stumble back in shock. Damn, it's huge here. I rinse my mouth and apply some toothpaste in my tongue to get rid of any morning breath.

I have to be super quiet, so I open the door again prepared to maybe see mason wide awake. But I stand corrected. I tiptoed to the door before seeing a shadow shift, okay i'm done now. I look back and see him turn to his side, swiping his hand on the space where I was laying before being convinced and hugging the pillow bringing it to his chest. I shook my head playfully and went down the stairs.

I place my shoes on and grab my wallet checking the time. It's still early, it's 7:38am. I see I have been removed from the group chat I was in, a few emails from work, and notifications from social media.

I quickly request an uber as I walk down to a near cafe.

Hours later after finally being fully rested I began to over think. I wonder if he remembers what happened? Was it stupid and dumb for me to leave?

He probably doesn't even remember me. But, the conversations we had last night beg to differ... it felt different, it felt right. He's one of those people who you could talk to hours and just enjoy their presence and company.

That made my heart warm, he was caring and supportive.

It's the next day and I began getting ready for work. I pick out a black turtleneck with some white pants and a coat. My hair is slightly curled from the bottom and my makeup is the same as always.

I quickly place my boots on and grab my purse along with my bookbag.

London was always lousy and packed but today not so much. As I passed by I could see my reflection on the windows.

When I arrive at my work building, I take an elevator up to the floor into my office. For now i'm am assistant for a social media marketing. I'm in charge for scheduling appointments, meetings, create portfolios, etc.

I guess this is preparing me for what I actually want to do. I want to be a interior designing.

The day goes by quick and i'm now getting out of work it's around 6pm. I make my way to a Nandos near by. I get seated at a booth and pull my laptop and do some studying.

I keep getting distracted by people coming in and out. But when a certain person catches my attention, I panic.

What the fuck? There's no way he's actually here right now? I look down and just focus my attention on my laptop.

He doesn't remember me... i'm sure he doesn't. I look around just to distract my thought. I feel someone staring at me, but who?

I look around and make eye contact with mason. I flush and feel embarrassed, he's with friends. He scrunches his eyebrows confused or as if he were thinking.

Great if things couldn't get any worse. He keeps his gaze at me before his friends call his attention. Thank you!

I close my eyes and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I decide to leave I pack my stuff little by little before I ask for my check.

When I turn away to reach for my laptop charger but I get startled by a shadow. Suddenly i'm faced with a serious looking Mason. I stare at him with wide eyes before gulping and wrapping my charger.

"Hello, you scared" I manage to get out placing my hand to my chest.

"Hi. Do you remember me?" he asks bluntly, why does he sound upset?

"Yes I do, you're Mason. We met at a bar the other night. Question is do you remember me?" I rest my head on my hand that is firmly placed on the table.

"Of course I do, you're Ella. The one who left without saying a word after we had sex" he leans in coping my actions.

"Why did you leave?" he sounds hurt or disappointed.

"Well I decided to save us the awkwardness after we both woke up, plus i didn't think you would remember me" l say honestly, his brown eyes stare at me so serious it's making me nervous.

"I don't know Ella... i'm sure we would've managed fine. You leave after we spend a good time getting to know each other and after we have sex. I have to admit I feel kinda hurt and used" he smiles a bit but I stare at him dumbfounded.

"It wasn't my intention to make you feel that way Mason. Like I said, I didn't think you would've remembered me. We did quite drink a lot" responding kinda curiously.

He suddenly stares at me like he did before. His eyes roam from my face to what i'm wearing. I flush under his intense stare.

He nods before rubbing his hand over his chin.

"How could I forgot about you? You've  been on my mind since yesterday. How could I forget the good time we spent together before we slept together. I couldn't get you off my mind, and I had blamed myself thinking I did something wrong to make you leave. I hadn't had that much fun in a while, not even my friends made me laugh like you did" he answers honestly.

Taking me by surprise, my mouth feels dry.

"I had a good time to mase, you made me feel alive and wanted. I had an amazing time spending my evening with you. I'm starting to regret what I did and leaving you. I apologize for making you feel like that." I say looking back up and staring at him.

I see him smirk then chuckle after, making me  furrow my brows in confusion.

"What's so funny?"

"It's nice to know you care about me and my feelings" he bites his lip and leans back.

What?

"I'll accept your apology but with one request"

The fuck? "Which is?" I raise my brow, curious to what the request is.

"To promise you won't do that again. and..." he leans slightly. I grow impatient. I don't have time for this...

"And..." motioning with my hand for him to continue.

"To let me take you out on a proper date. Oh and you're number" he smirks.
