you're such a simp (Mason thames x OC)

chapter 6

I'm sat in my bed. It's the day madeleine arrives here and I'm exctatic. She's staying at my house the whole time for filming and I'm finishing the last minute touches. We bought her a bed, similar to mine. I even moved my stuff out of one of my closets to make room for her stuff.

"Come on honey we've gotta go! Her flight lands in an hour!" I throw on a pair of baggy jeans, and a blue t-shirt. My hair is in a white claw clip because it genuinely needs a wash.

We get there and after half an hour of waiting I see Madeleine with her suitcases. I wave to her and she smiles brightly. We do the whole long-distance friends running into a hug you see on social media. "You're so much prettier in person, your photos don't do you justice!" She takes the compliment and we head back to my place.

"Take a look around mads, you'll be living here for like, a year." I will admit, since I've grown up with a famous mom I've always been quite privileged. And now that I'm working in well known TV shows, I'm bringing home alot of money. Which I earn myself so at least I'm learning to make money on my own.

After madeleine looks around the house I finally show her our bedroom. "You always have the option of staying in the guest room if you don't feel comfortable sharing a room with me." I should give her all her options before she moves everything into a room. "Oh no, I'd rather share to be honest. It'll be easier when we have to get up early next week."

I give her a polite smile in return and help her unpack. "You have less clothes than I imagined." I say looking at her two suitcases. "You have more than I expected, this is my entire closet." She chuckles back to me. For the past two days we've been facetiming until 5am and I could honestly say she's become one of my best friends.

"Oh shit, Mason's due over. You ok with him being in here?" I ask her showing her the message of him saying "on my way ❤" She nods and smirks slightly at me. "What was that for Mads?" I give her a soft playful shove. "I'm cool with you having Mason in here but for God's sake don't be kissing 24/7." I blush at her accusation. "That's not all we do together Mads, I'm still getting to know him too."

"Getting to know his lips you mean."

My eyes widen but just before I can say anything my mother calls us down. "Madeleine, Evelyn, that boy Mason's here!" I run downstairs and I see him standing in the door. A bouquet in one hand and a card in the other. I think the bouquet and card is for Madeleine but he goes to her, gives her a hug and the card but the bouquet stays in his hand.

He then walks to me. "The flowers are for you darling. For being such a gracious host to a co-star and friend." I jump into his arms and he spins us in a circle before kissing me. "Awwe love, you're so sweet." Just then my mother clears her throat. Ah, right. Mom's in the room.

I take the flowers, then a step back from him. "Well, how about the three of you go upstairs, out of my sight, where I never ever have to watch that, ever again." My mother swore off me doing lovely dovey stuff infront of her.

We do as she says and walk up the stairs, trying to contain our laughter. We finally get in mine and Madeleine's room. "How do you still have so much space even though you've got a whole other bed I'm here?" He has to double check he's sitting on the right bed since they look identical.

"You got your scripts yet?" I ask the pair and they both nod their heads. "There's alot of screaming for one scene. I don't think my voice will cope." Madeleine rubs her throat with her hand as she says this. "Well I'll be seeing Evelyn alot, we're practically in every scene together." He looks me up and down with a smirk. "You're going to be a hard one to work with Thames." I place my hand on his cheek and slowly rub my thumb across it.

"Don't make me gag you two." Madeleine says packing her last shirt into the drawer. "Sorry, he's been really clingy since we met in person." As I say that, Mason proves my point by wrapping his arms around my waist and rests his head on my shoulder.

"Stop it."
"No!"
"You clinging to my online best friend the first time we meet in real life is really weird."
"No it's not! You'll get her more than me so let me be clingy."
"You'll be filming pretty much every day with her, you'll spend more time with her."

By this point I've left them to argue while I get a snack and a drink. "If they argue the entire time I'm jumping out the window." My mother chuckles at my misfortune. "It's always like this with the best friend and boyfriend." After she says that it kinda sinks in. Mason and me aren't officially boyfriend and girlfriend. It's only been a week but everyone's assumed we are.

I walk back upstairs, trying to put that thought out of my brain. At this point their facing the wall, madeleine the left Mason the right not speaking to eachother. "Guys idea, how about a movie?!" They'll have to get along eventually. They will get along eventually. They both surprisingly agree on the exact movie.

"Wait you like get out?" Madeleine's voice goes an octave higher. Mason nods his head. "Yeah, I love the eyrie vibe to it." And just like that they're getting along. The three of us are laughing and joking and having an amazing time.

After a few hours Mason finally speaks up. "Well I've got to go, facetime you tonight love?" He asks me, I nod my head with a smile. "Yeah, tonight." He gives me a peck on the lips and then he says goodbye to Madeleine.

After he's left Mads grabs my hand and drags me upstairs. "Why are you sad, tell me." My face forms into a confused look. "I know somethings up." I cave and finally reveal the revelation I made earlier. "Mason hasn't officially asked me to be his girlfriend. Maybe he's only doing this with me because he's bored."

"Are you blind? That boy is head over heels for you. He is such a simp when it comes to you and if you can't see that, you're blind." Her words are stern. They sound as if she does really mean what she says.

For the rest of the night the topic isn't brought up. Mason facetimes me as normal and it feels really really good. Then around 12 he ends the call and I drift to sleep since mads is also asleep.

Authors note

This is pretty much a filler chapter to introduce madeleine into the story properly. I will begin script reading and the filming process really really soon.
