I could help wonder why he's even here. Yesterday I heard enough... it was clear he was taken for a while. Despite the effort of trying to ignore him, I listen to what he has to say.

"Ella, gosh, I've been trying to reach you since last night," he says clearly out of breath.

"Yeah, I had stuff to do" I shrug, shifting my weight from one foot to another.

"With who? James?" his voice filled with demand, rage, and jealousy. He has no right to yell at me, he's the one taken. He shouldn't even be here!

"No. I came back home because of something. I don't owe you any explanations"

"Listen, Ella, me and Chloe aren't together. I don't know what she told you but she's lying. Me and her broke up after I found out she was cheating on me. You have to believe, I would see why you wouldn't but, I only want you Ella, all of you" his voice is rushed and stressed. His eyes plead and I give in.

"I believe you... when she came up to me I couldn't help to feel embarrassed and confused. I'm sorry, I had no idea she did that to you. I was too quick to judge you..."

"I would see why you did, I would've done the same without hesitation. Don't worry about her she's not gonna appear anytime soon. So are we good now?" he moves closer to me and interlocks our hands, something we're both used to.

"Yes, Mason. We are" I nod and smile. Suddenly I'm lifted into the air and spun around. I laugh and wrap my legs around his torso, my hands to his neck. When he puts me down he grabs my cheeks slowly rubbing them before crashing his lips on mine desperately.

The swift movement makes me close my eyes enjoying the kiss. I could never get tired of his touch, his kisses, his eyes, his smile. When we pull away, we rest our foreheads smiling big. He pecks my lips one more time before speaking.

"I can't get enough of you. You mesmerize me in every single way. The way you talk, walk, even the way you stare at me does things to me. You're so incredibly talented and loving. I don't deserve you but I don't plan on leaving your side anytime soon" his eyes filled with admiration and lust.

His words manage to leave me speechless again, I blush profoundly and bite my lip. "You make me so happy it scares me because there's no one else but you Mason. I don't plan on leaving anytime soon as well." we laugh and start walking after I grab my things.

"I have to ask you something." he says, I look up and nod from his to proceed with the question.

"Did you plan that move back there so you could escape without me seeing you?"
Shit, he knows. I laugh nervously thinking of my answer. "Uh no." I roll my eyes playfully trying to brush the subject away. He gives me a stern look making me admit to the question.

"Okay yes. I only did it because I wasn't ready to face you yet. I tried to escape the conversation but obviously, look where that got." he looks at me seriously before laughing hysterically. If I wasn't embarrassed before, I definitely am now.

"I have to admit, that was pretty smooth. I didn't even realize you were walking away till you looked back and I noticed that was you. Pretty good undercover spy work" he wraps his arm around my waist as we get near his car. He opens the door before driving off to my work.

When we get there we quickly say goodbye, he makes sure I get into the building safely then drives away. While waiting impatiently in the elevator my phone vibrates as a message notification appears.

Mason
I miss you already. I'm so glad to have you back.

Ella
I miss you too, but please drive safely. I don't want you getting into an accident.
