The player that stole my heart

UC Berkeley

Chapter 4

Paige's P.O.V.

He is here. At my work. How can you dislike someone as much as i dislike him right now at this moment? Well, alright, maybe I do think he is hot. And cute. And sweet. And kind of a gentleman. Did i mention he is hot? 

But that doesn't make the fact that he is coming to my work every single day I work here okay. And everytime he asks for my number, and I won't lie, I have multiple times thought about just giving him my number so he could let me be, but then again I knew that if I gave him my number, he would just start texting me and maybe even call. And no I am not saying this because I am 100% sure, but he has gone so far that he shows up at my work now every single day.

I won't lie. This guy has courage. 

When I am done making their sandwiches I lay dem on a tray and go to their table with it. I place it on the table and asks them if they want something else.

I actually do know Mason's friends. But who doesn't? Jake Graham is the football captain and a really really really hot guy, even tho I would prefer Mason over both him and Connor Sanderson (also a really hot guy, but I've heard he has a girlfriend).

Wait a secound. Did I just think what I think I thought? 

Oh yes, you did, yes you did, Paige.

Stupid voice. But it is right I did think that thought. Well moving on, Jake is a player so is Connor. Actually they are all players. 

When I am about to leave Mason clears his throat. I turn slowly around with an annoyed expression on my face. "Yes?" I ask him.

"I uhm, want to order," he looks at the menu like he can't decide, "Your number," he says flashing me his beautiful smile. Oh god, how can a guy be this hot? It should be illegal.

"For the last time, that is not on the menu," I say irritated, when a sudden I hear the bell ring from the door which means someone just entered. A gang of boys comes into the diner. Oh wait, I mean a gang of hot boys come into the diner, and I don't know what these guys are doing here, but it is not their territory.  So you don't get confused UC Berkeley just entered. California University's rivals. Enemies. Call them what you want, but we and especially the football team doesn't like them.

When they walk past me I feel someone grab my butt and whistle. "Damn, hottie, I want to order something," he says. 

I don't ever think I have seen Mason this angry. Actually I don't think anyone has seen him this angry. He stands up and walks over to the guy and takes him by the shirt. "Don't you dare touch her," he snarls and shakes him. Jake and Connor gets up to defense him.

Blake Fitzgerald (the other team's captain) walks over to them slowly, like he couldn't care less. "Let him go Mason." Do they know each other?

"Shut up, Blake," he spits at him and then turns around to the disgusting guy. "And you, If I ever see you talking to her or even get close to her I will kill you. Do you understand that?" He asks him mad. 

"Mason, It really doesn't matter," I try to argue with him. 

"Let go of him, this is the last time I'll ask sweet," Blake threatens. 

Jake starts laughing. "And what will you do if he doesn't, huh?" provoking him.

"Mason just let go of him," I pleed him, not wanting to get fired. If I get fired I will murder him and the disgusting guy.

"Listen to your girl, Mason," Blake says.

Mason and I gets eyecontact and he lets go of the guy walking over to me hugging me. I hug him back, cus I don't like the fact that someone just touched me without my permission. 

The guy goes back to his friend and they sit down at the biggest table there are. But Blake is still standing there now with a smile, and when I look up at my Mason I see him smiling too. They do know eachother. 

"How is Valerie?" Blake asks and genuenly looks interested. Beside me I can see that Jake gets a blank expression on his face. 

"She is having fun on her trip," Mason says.

"Good." Blake looks at me. "I'm sorry about, Devon. Sometimes those guys use their dicks and not their heads." 

I smile. "It's okay." 

Masons face gets serious. "Don't ever come with him here again." 

"I promise to never bring him here again, if you give me Valerie's number."

"Don't you already have it?"

"Nah, my phone broke so all my contacts are gone."

"No." Jake explotes.

Both Mason and Blake look confused at him asking "No?" 

"You won't get her number," he says clenches his fists. 

Blake goes a step forward towards Jake. "And why is that?"

"Beause I say so. You can't have her number."

"Are you guys together or something?" He asks gritting his teeths.

Mason starts laughing. "Valerie and Jake together? Nah bro, they are not. He is just being protective over her because they have known each other for so long."

Jake clears his throat and says "Yeah."

Blake laughs too. "It's alright. But don't worry me and Valerie or just friends or Mason wold've killed me." 

I don't know if any of the others notice that a sigh of relief escapes Jakes mouth, but I do. Well, well, well look who has a crush.

Mason and Blake start talking and i get back to work. My boss, Georgiana, came to me and hugs me which surprised me. "Boys can be real jerks. Just take the rest of the day off, sweetie."

"You sure?" I ask her.

"Yeah, go home or go out, just take the day off."

"Thank you so much." I say and go and gets my stuff. When I get out of the door I see Mason standing in front of his car and look incredible hot. He waves at me telling me to come to him. 

When I get in front of him he opens the passenger door and held it for me. I squint my eyes. "How did you know I had time off?" 

He smiles. "Your boss told me." 

"And what makes you think I am getting into that car?" 

"Come on, babe, it starts raining in a little and I don't think you want to get wet do you know?" 

I look up at the sky and see the grey clouds. I sigh in defeat. I hate getting wet. And I don't have a jacket with me because the wether was good this morning. I get into the car and mumble thank you. He closes my door and get to the other side sitting in the driver seat. "Where are we going?" I ask him when i see he drives me the other direction than the dorms.

"We are just going out on a drive a little." He says and I stay quiet. This is exactly what I need.
