Mason mount imagines

All I ever wanted was this

It was safe to say if there was one word, to sum up, your love life it would be unlucky... having fallen pregnant at 20 with who you thought was the love of your life, only ending up with them cheating on you with your 'best friend'. Leaving you as a single parent... The only positive that came from the situation was your little boy, Flynn. Flynn was the light of your life, always making every bad situation a little more bearable as you worked your arse off to provide him with the love and comfort, he deserved from 2 parents. You did try dating after you had Flynn, but every time they would find out you were a mum they would flee, not wanting anything to do with that sort of 'baggage'. After many failed attempts at love, you gave up on the idea... knowing if there was someone who would love you... the whole you, they would come at the right time! That's when life threw you, Mason!!

You knew Mason was special from the first day you met! Surprised at the fact that he was a footballer from their 'arrogant stereotype' He was a sweetheart, always making sure you were okay and making time to see you despite his busy schedule! Everything was going great... there was just one thing...

He didn't know about Flynn...

It wasn't your intention to hide it, you just didn't want to risk losing him the same way as before! He knew you were hiding something, from missing a couple of dates due to 'sudden problems and the way you never let him go to yours, but he didn't want to push it... knowing that whatever it was you would tell him at your own pace...

"Flynn..." You cooed as the little boy wandered into your bedroom, nose full of a cold as his soft whimpers echoed across the room "C'mere here baby!" Flynn stretched his arms out ready for you to bring him to your chest, burying his head in the crook of your neck as his sniffles grew. Looking at the clock you sighed, you were due to meet Mason in a couple of hours, having to drop Flynn at his grandma's "Okay love, let's have a little nap yeah? & Then we'll tell grandma..." The little boy nodded as he immediately drifted off into a deep sleep, the warm feeling making you drift off into your own dreamland, your date long forgotten about until 2 hours later!

"Mhmm..." You groaned, clutching your head feeling as though someone was hitting you with a hammer "Oh nooo... nooo..." You knew there was a chance of you getting ill with Flynn having the bug for 3 days now, but not now! Not when you were supposed to meet Mason in less than 2 hours!! How was going to forgive you after cancelling yet another date?!? Quietly, you moved your little boy to the side, grabbing your phone to send your mother a quick check before dialling Mason's number "Hi darling! You, okay?" His delicate voice shouted through his speaker, causing you to wince at the sound "I'm so sorry Mase-"

"You can't come tonight, can you?" Your heart broke at the disappointment in his voice, knowing full well that he didn't deserve to be stood up date after date! "I'm sorry... my head is banging & my nose is leaking like a tap... I'm so sorry Mase... you deserve someone better than this"

"Don't say that love..." He cooed, lowing his voice for you "We can go on a date anytime! Do you want me to come round... I don't want you to be alone..." "I'll be fine.." You smiled, although he couldn't see it "I don't want to pass it on to you!" "You sure?" "I'm sure!" Deep down you would have loved to have him here with you, cuddling you to his chest too keep you warm, but you couldn't, not when he didn't know about Flynn!

"I'll phone you later then... okay? Please let me know if you need anything" "Thank you, Mason... see you soon!"

Crawling back on the bed, you pulled Flynn closer to you getting ready to spend the rest of the day feeling sorry for yourself- not only were you ill with a pretty bad cold but could have messed with your chances of ever having something special with Mason! It was only an hour later when a loud knock woke you up... groaning once again as your forced yourself to get up. "I'm coming..." You mumbled, hand clutching your head as your nose continued to drip. Thinking it was just the postman you opened the door, not looking as you sniffled "You can just leave it there thank you- "
