CHAPTER 32

(Diego's POV)

I woke up first. As soon as I did I made sure to stay in bed and admire Mason for a few minutes, not quite ready to get up yet. Then I did get up, got dressed, and went downstairs. Thankfully, no one else was down there.

I made a quick breakfast and made a plate for me and Mason. I even made sure to grab him some pain killers because I knew he'd be sore. Just more and more reasons why I'm the best boyfriend ever.

Even once I got back upstairs to give them to Mason he was still asleep; must be pretty tired. I set his food and the painkillers down on my nightstand so if he wakes up while I'm gone he'll have easy access to them. Then I left to take a shower.

We hadn't cleaned up from last night yet, so I took a pretty long shower, making sure I was clean. Once done, I went back to my bedroom once again, Mason still asleep on the bed. I'm in no hurry to wake him up though, he has plenty of time before his competition and he looks absolutely beautiful when he's sleeping– also when he's awake.

I guess I could just wait for him to wake up. For now I'll just sit on the bed, watching him carefully, eventually doing something else like checking my phone. I guess my parents are both at work by now, neither of them have come to bother me yet.

Suddenly I hear small scratches at the door, probably one of the cats. I definitely wanna let the cat in if it's Penelope, but Mason is allergic to cats. I get up from the bed and step out of the room, greeting Penelope with a smile.

I give her a few pets before going back downstairs to make sure the cats have some food and water. Of course, the rest of the cats all come racing for the food once they hear me pour it out for them. After watching them for a few more minutes I make my way back upstairs and into my room, seeing that Mason is finally up.

“Ah, you're awake.” I approach him carefully, not wanting to startle him since he just awoke. “Almost wish I wasn't.” He says as he stretches, wincing at the pain in his back. “You're sore?” I ask him, sitting down on the bed with him and laying a hand on his lower back as he nods his head. “Thought so.”

I reach for the pain killers on my nightstand and hand them to him, letting him take a few and put them back. “I made you some breakfast too.” I point to it and he takes the plate and begins eating.

“Do you wanna take a shower?” I ask once he's all done, taking the empty plate from him and setting it back on the nightstand. “Yeah. But I don't have any clothes.” “Do you really think I'm not gonna let you borrow mine?” He shrugs. “No. Can I borrow some clothes?” I pretend to think it over for a moment before giving him a simple nod. “Of course.”

Honestly, I kind of wanted to shower with him, but I already did and I guessed he'd want at least a bit of time alone. He didn't take a very long shower, just long enough to get cleaned up. As he was in there, I spent my time tidying up my room.

Eventually he came back, stepping into my room, wearing my clothes. He's so cute, he looks a lot smaller in my clothes, just a bit too oversized for him. He quickly comes to sit on the bed, looking a bit tired.

“You okay?” I ask as I go to sit on the bed next to him. He nods his head before falling onto me to lean his head on my shoulder. “I'm just kind of nervous about my competition later.” He answers as I take his hand in mine, squeezing it lightly.

“Why?” “I don't want to mess up because I'm sore.” I laugh at his answer, a little surprised but happy by it. “I'm sure you'll be okay. You took those painkillers, and I'd bet you'll do amazing even if you are sore.” I caress his cheek, a soft smile on my face.

He lets out a short giggle, hitting my hand away playfully. “Alright, alright.” He smiles and moves to sit facing me on the bed. “We should probably leave soon so I have time to get ready though.”

“Oh, I got a few errands to run before the competition so I'll meet you there.” I tug lightly on his sleeve as I inform him. He nods his head, and with that, we both begin to get ready to head out.

We said our goodbyes, parting ways as he left in his car and I started walking away. I live close to the market I need to get to, plus it's good exercise anyway. As I walk, I can't help but to think of Mason, in the pretty uniform he designed, just for this event.

I watched him perform when they were practicing. That was awesome, but I'm sure the real thing will be absolutely breathtaking. I love watching him skate either way though.

Soon I got to the market nearby. It's an outside one, full of flowers. Now it comes to the reason I'm here– to get flowers for Mason.

A couple days ago I had asked him what his favorite flowers are, he said pink pearl dahlias. So today my mission is to get a bouquet of red pink pearl dahlias. Which doesn't take long at all.

Based on all the research I did, the tons of pictures I looked at, I know exactly what the flower looks like. So as soon as I saw a beautiful bouquet of them, they were bought and in my arms in no time.

Which means, now I just have to wait until after Mason's competition is over. He had told me that he can't see me until right after all the rankings are announced. So I just have to wait for him to win, then right afterward I get to give him the flowers; with a big hug and kiss, of course.
