yours and mine - mason mount

twenty-one

Ella's POV:

The world slowly moved down, it felt exactly like in the movies. I could hear and feel my pulse increase at the sight of him. He wore cargo pants with a black graphic tee long sleeve. He never fails to impress, he's talking with someone. Perfect. This gives me time to run away, maybe...

I looked away before he noticed and turned to Kai and reassured him. "Kai, look at me. It was bound to happen, someday okay? You two work together and there is no denying being friends. It's not your fault" he look relieved "plus he's was a close friend of yours at one point, you have every right to invite him"

"I know I'm sorry, I shouldve- " I cut him off "It's okay like you said you forgot it was by accident" he gave me a quick hug and whispered in my ear, "Are you going to tell him?" he asked making me shake my head no. "How could I tell him? Plus we haven't talked in over two years. It would be out of the picture to tell him" I admit, he nods and goes back outside.

"Woah" Sophia said, "Yeah woah doesn't even Sophia describe it" I rubbed my head stressed and anxious. This is the first time were going to see each other after so long. All these feelings rushed back into me when I saw him, he looked perfect and pure, I still can't believe he was mine at one point. I shocked my thoughts away and looked at Luka. He was smiling and eating. I walked over to him and stood next to him.

I felt his presence... his strong cologne, he was near. It bugged me not to be able to run into his arms and feel his embrace all over again. To hold him and never let go, but he was probably seeing someone... My nerves skyrocket when I heard his voice all over again, that same voice I used to fall asleep next to, that voice that complimented me, that voice that said they loved me.

"Hey Sophia, how are you?" he came up and greeted her. "Hi Mason, I'm fine you?" her voice was rushed and unsure. "I'm doing okay w-" almost making a run for but my name coming out of his mouth stopped me. "Ella." I turned around, his face pulled in together trying to believe and see if I was actually here.

Mason's POV::
A familiar silhouette made me stop speaking. That same silhouette I fell in love with 2 years ago, the same silhouette from the grocery store. Am I dreaming right now? Is she really here? "Ella... is that you?" she slowly turned around dressed in a fitted black shirt with jeans. I suddenly forgot how to breathe and grew anxious, but then remembered I have the girl I still love in front of me.

I walked over to her slowly looking at her up in down in denial, after 2 years she still looks the same, more gorgeous than ever. It takes every bone inside me to not rush toward her and pull her into a passionate kiss. "Hey, how are you?" she waved a quick hello, looking down, making me upset.

"That's it, that's all I get" she opened her mouth but nothing came out, she seemed tense and scared. What is she so afraid of? Is it me? "I'm sorry, this is just so unexpected," she whispered

"I'll leave you two alone" Sophia whispered and walked off along with two other girls. I quickly rushed over and pulled her into a tight hug, not being able to stand the distance. She was hesitant but hugged me back.

"I've been trying to look for you the past three years... where have you been all this time?" I grabbed her forearms making her look at me. God, those blue eyes that taunted me in my sleep for 2 years are staring right back at mine. "I moved back to Brighton for a while but now I'm back in London" she said, her body language was off, and I look over and see a baby, this baby was eating snacks.

"So is this a baby your babysitting?" I extended my arms to him and he quickly pulled himself onto me. She finally looked up with a hint of glossy eyes, I grew confused? "No no, th- that's m-my son" she bluffed. My heart tore inside, all these unanswered questions popped up.

"Son? When did you become a mom?" I looked back at the little guy with brown hair and beige skin, his eyes were hazel, he looked up and rubbed my cheek. "Uhm- not too long ago actually" she finally met my eyes and wandered to the kid. "Come Luka" he went with his mom and laid his head on her shoulder. I felt heartbroken, who's the father? Is he present?

"Who's the father" unsure if I even want to hear, what if she's with someone? "He's uhm not present, he didn't want a say in this" she looked down and began to shift her weight. She's lying... "Dada..." Ella gasped and looked at the baby boy, they both quickly looked at me and giggled.

there was pain behind that smile, she was happier. "what's his name?" I walked over and grabbed his chunky hands, which he quickly reached for. "Luka" he looked at his mom confused before I put him down. He wandered off playing with one of the footballs Kai had inside.

I smiled at her and she gave me a quick one back. "I need to change him, I'll see you around" She quickly turned around and picked him up walking away, leaving me speechless. The girl I love became a mom, and she's doing this alone.

The protective urge to protect her and Luka rushed into me. 'I'm not letting you out of my sight now' I walked into the backyard and began to greet everyone. I dabbed up the boys and my mind kept wandering off the Ella. How is she doing this all alone? How did I not know about this?

Throughout the evening I would glance at her from time to time. She's still my Ella, with the same arched brows and blue eyes, the same sense of fashion, the same smile... 

I noticed how she would make Luka laugh, by tickling him or making funny faces, it warmed my heart. I saw how she helped cook food for the guests and how focused she'd be when someone was talking to her.

Suddenly I felt super fucking jealous and mad. A boy with super curly hair dressed in a brown shirt with shorts came up and hugged her. She looked at him happily as they shared a moment.

Are they dating? Does she not love me anymore? They talked for a bit and he left. I wanted to rush up to her and bombarded her with questions, but it was her life.

Even after two years, she looked more beautiful than ever. You couldn't even tell she had a baby, I wanted to so badly reach over and trace over her curves with my hands but I couldn't. We all sat down and eat, I saw how she put her kid first, she fed him before she did.

I noticed he wasn't distracted at all and was super calm. I smiled, suddenly we locked eyes for a while until she looked down and blushed. I still have that effect on her, I'd do anything to see it again. After we all ate everybody thanked her for the food and she began to clean up.

They weren't just glances, I studied her deep. I wasn't letting her out of my sight. I'm going to fight hard and get her back. I've suffered so long without her, who cares if she has a kid? I'll protect that baby as my own.

Ella's POV:
His entire gaze made me feel at ease the entire evening, but I didn't mind it, I enjoyed it. Those butterflies still didn't disappear, to be quite honest I felt at home again. I helped Sophia clean up and set the s'mores outside. Luka was with Kai and the rest of the boys. His laughter could be heard from inside.

I was enjoying myself, I even drank a bit of red wine! I was definitely staying here tonight, I'm not driving home. It was around 9 pm, and we all sat outside and enjoyed the bonfire. I held Luka in my lap and noticed he wouldn't stop yawning.

"Sophia, can you hold him really quick? I'll be right back I'm filling his bottle up"

"Yeah of course" I gave him to her and walked inside. I looked in the fridge and began to fill the bottle up with milk. The familiar presence was near. I smelled the cologne. "So who was that boy you talked to earlier?" I smirked knowing he was jealous. I closed the fridge and faced him.

"A friend Mason, his name is Jace." I leaned against the fridge door staring at his brown eyes. "Are y'all serious or something?" he said coming closer to me. "No, like I said he is a close friend" he hums, his gaze beginning to make me squirm.

"Anyways- i'ma hea-" he quickly walked over to me and placed his hands on my waist pulling me into a passionate kiss. I let myself sink in and kiss him back. I tugged on his hair and heard a groan. Damn these butterflies still didn't disappear.

His lips still softer than ever felt perfect over mine. Before things got heated, I pushed myself off him gently, I was about to walk away when he gripped my wrist tightly. I looked into his eyes filled with desire.

"Just let me please explain."
