yours and mine - mason mount

thirty-five

Ella's POV:
As the trip approaches, I run around looking for clothes. Packing all the necessities, including travel-size shampoo and conditioner, a small first aid kit, etc. Never can go wrong, one thing about me is that I'll overpack but fit everything in a suitcase.

Mason said to dress for hot weather, so after buying many swimsuits, summer dresses, shorts, tank top tees, some jeans, open shoes, and the latest lingerie that he doesn't know about... I keep making lists in my head of places we could be going... the beach, a safari, I have no clue...

The anticipation to know is killing me, but I know he'd be upset if I reveal it or he does. I ask Sophia but she says nothing either. Something fishy is going on...

Mason also runs around doing his part. He also bought a couple of shirts for Luka, which were completely adorable. He's so excited, it's so cute to see him smile like a kid. Everything is pretty much done and packed away. Just waiting for days to pass by. The middle of November is colder than usual.

Finishing the last luggage I sigh tiredly. Getting ready for bed, after I put Luka down to sleep. He feels way better now! During my shower, I had company, which I didn't mind. Mason's fingertips scrubbed my hair, washing the shampoo and conditioner out. Me doing the same and ran the loofa over his bare chest.

"So soft right?" I said as he mesmerized then laughed. We quickly change and brush our teeth before going to sleep.

Mason had one more match before the holiday. He urged me to go as this was one to qualify for the champions league. I couldn't say no. I'm so proud of what he and his team have accomplished. The match started late, but me and Luka were too excited to be tired.

Like the last match I attended, fans all cheered and gathered as they walked into Stamford Bridge. We walked up the stairs to the cubbies where the player's families were. I saw Jaz and Sophia waving at me, so we rushed over. Luka laughed and ran while holding onto my hand. Either I'm getting short, or he's growing too quickly...

"Hello! How are my favorite girls doing?" I greeted them and hugged them both, kissing their cheeks. "Good and happy now that you're here!" Sophia exclaimed, Jaz nodding while holding a tired yet smiling Summer in her hands. "Hi baby!" I kissed her head, instantly shooting her head and attaching herself to my hip.

Jaz picks up Luka making him laugh. We put them down and run off to a toy section in the corner. "Summer was too happy when I told her Luka was coming. She kept insisting to hurry up because she wanted to see her cousin," we laugh.

We catch up with Sophia. She explains the wedding plans she has been working on, asking for bouquet ideas, and bridesmaid's dresses. Later Mason's parents join us. Greeting them as well. The last time I saw the English couple was when I explained everything to them. The reason I hid my pregnancy, what Chloe did, and how I only did it to keep my son and their son safe.

Not once did they judge or yell at me. They were understanding and caring, telling me it's all over now. Their kind words and gestures brought reassurance, promising to be there as well, for anything. I couldn't be more grateful for them.

Luka loves them even more. They absolutely adore him, and grew to connect with him quickly as well!

The match soon started, fans even the head coach all anxious and nervous. This was the second leg, they weren't so lucky last time, but today's possession of the ball, more attempts are proving the hard work. Kai is quick to steal the ball quickly running to the post, Mason sees his chance and asks for the ball.

Kai makes a wonderful pass to which Mason quickly reacts. The goalkeeper is quick to block but the ball makes it to the net, making the score go to 1-0. We all cheer, Debbie and Tony jumping up and down. Luka looks around excitedly, looking at the tv where he sees his dad score.
