Mason had been on edge all day, from the second Sophia said she was leaving Brighton he was constantly checking the gate to see if she had arrived. Any slight noise and he would be on the app looking at his security cameras in case she had magically teleported here.

He had tidied his house and sorted out one of the guest rooms. Sophia had first been reluctant about sleeping over, she knew she was meant to be logging back into work tomorrow and without admitting it to Mason she hadn't wanted it to seem like she had agreed to this date so they could hook up, as it wasn't to do with that.

However, Mason had immediately told her he had sorted her a guest room, she could work from their for the day if she needed to before travelling home, that there was no pressure on her or them, he just wanted to spend time with her, so she agreed.

He had planned to take her into the city, he had a friend who owed him a favour after giving him Chelsea tickets and sending him some signed memorabilia.

His friend had managed to arrange for them to have dinner in a swanky London restaurant, up on a mezzanine floor away from prying eyes, able to enter and exit through a private entrance so that she wouldn't feel uneasy about breaking any rules.

He had a car arranged to pick them up and drop them off home afterwards, he had ordered a huge bouquet of lily-of-the-valley's that were sat upon the entrance table with a card addressed to her.

He had researched birth flowers for the month of May and this is what came up, they were very delicate, very beautiful, just like Sophia.

He just couldn't wait for her to arrive and if like magic his phone buzzed with the gate notification. He clicked it instantly as he walked over to the front door, swinging it open as he watched her park up. He took a large breath, feeling his heart start to thump as she got out of her car and smiled towards him.

Sophia didn't even bother bringing her overnight bag in, she just shut the door behind her and walked towards Mason. He looked so unbelievably hot with his shirt and jeans on and a pair of trainers to match she found her feet rushing towards him as he took a step out of the house, down the stairs slightly and towards her.

"Hey" she said as she got closer.

"Hey" he said as she stopped in front of him, his arms wrapping around her waist and pulling her into his arms.

Her arms wrapped around his neck, nestling her head into the crook of his neck as she inhaled his freshly sprayed aftershave, a scent she had missed more than she thought as she clung onto his body.

Mason's arms wrapped tightly around her, the black jeans and backless top did wonders to her figure as he felt like he didn't ever want to let her go. However, another urge took over him as he pulled back.

Sophia pulled back too, her face inches away from Mason's as he looked down at her, a small smile on her lips as she closed the gap, her lips gently kissing his as his found hers too.

Small delicate kisses were shared between them, no rushing, no desperation, no clashing of mouths, they had all the time in the world now, now that they were back in each other's arms.

Sophia woke up the following morning in the comfort of the spare bed at Mason's, however she wasn't alone. Mason's arms were wrapped around her body as he spooned into her from behind, his breath blowing against the nape of her neck.

They had had the most amazing time at dinner last night, it felt like they hadn't been apart. Mason was filling her in on what he had been up to, while she did the same, it was like they did this all the time.

Mason told Sophia about his friends and what they had been up to. He had spoken to her on facetime in depth the other day about his relationship with Daisy and how he really did only see her as a best friend and that she didn't see him as anything more either.

She still felt a little bit jealous of her, for the fact that she was gorgeous and had slept with Mason but when she heard him talk about her he could see it was no different than the way he spoke about Dec or Chilly.

Plus it seemed like she was his voice of reason at times, and that she had an incline he was talking to someone and she seemed happy for him.

After they had eaten they had sat and had a couple more drinks before heading back to Mason's. He had once again not tried anything, letting her take it at her speed, he wanted her to know how much he cared about her, that he wanted her for her and not just for sex so he would rush anything.

It was only when he came into her room to say goodnight that she finally decided enough was enough. He had poked his head round wearing only his boxers and Sophia couldn't take it any longer.

"Mase?" she said after he said goodnight and went to close her door.

"Soph" he said back with a cheeky tone that made her laugh.

"Get into bed with me" she said with a smile as his grin spread into his cheeks.

She didn't have to ask him twice, he practically bounded into the room and straight into bed with her. She couldn't even help herself, within minutes their hands were all over one another and then their mouths and before she could even tell him how much she had been fantasising about him doing this to her in the weeks apart, he was between her legs, bottoming out and rocking into her until she was screaming his name.

Now as she woke up this morning she felt truly happy, she felt lucky to be with him once again after thinking she wouldn't get to do this anymore. But most of all she felt determined, she was sure she wouldn't let him go again.

As the morning went by Mason had made Sophia breakfast while she sat at his dining room table working away. He didn't have training until later and Sophia planned on leaving before he had to go into work, however he couldn't help but keep bugging her.

"C'mon Soph, just put me out of my misery" he said to her as he sat on the kitchen island opposite her, flipping his phone in his hand.

"Nope" she said nonchalantly as she picked up her bottle of water, taking a sip of it, before rearranging Mason's hoodie that she had on, adjusting it so it was pulled down further.

"You are being really mean" he pouted at her as she laughed.

"You will have to wait like everyone" she smirked "don't think fucking one of the coaches gets you inside knowledge" she winked as he laughed.

"I thought if I fucked the boss I'd get these kind of perks" he smirked at her as she burst out laughing.

"Are you saying I don't give you perks?" she raised an eyebrow, however she was still smiling.

"Nah don't put words in my mouth Soph" he said pointing at her while laughing.

Sophia went to go and respond as Mason's phone rung, he looked towards her as he went to pick it up. She just smiled to herself as she listened to him. She knew what this call would be saying but she wasn't going to tell him.

She had been working on the list with the rest of the coaching team for weeks, they had a big meeting with Southgate the day before she went away with the girls. She knew Mason was included in the Euro's squad, but she wasn't going to ruin the moment of him being told.

"Thank you, yeah thank you, see you in June, thanks again" Mason repeated down the phone with a smile spreading deep into his cheeks as Sophia rose out of her seat watching him as he put the phone on the side and practically rushed towards her.

Her smile was wide on her lips as she spoke "Congratulations" she said although the last part was more high pitched as Mason reached her, lifting her off her feet, wrapping his arms under her thighs as she clung onto his shoulders.

"This is literally a dream come true" he said as he looked up to Sophia.

"You deserve it Mason, you really do" she said, stroking a hand to his cheek as he kissed her lips harder this time, forgetting the world around them for a little while.
