Escape

Chapter 21

8:04 a.m.

After eating and getting Austin changed, I decide I should probably get myself ready. I open the door to the linen closet and grab myself a towel. I walk passed Julia and Austin as I make my way to the bathroom.

"I'll be out in a jiffy!" I call as I enter the bathroom.

I turn the tap so that the water is warm and then pull until the water switches to come out of the shower head. After washing my hair, which is very difficult with one arm concealed in a bag. I grab the bar of soap and rub it in my one hand, trying not to drop it and let the water run on it directly. Then I cover my legs in soap. Then I shave my legs and wash the rest of my body. I turn off the tap and step out of the bathtub. I dry myself off and wrap the towel around myself, also removing the bag from my cast arm.

I step out of the bathroom with my dirty clothing in my arms and walk downstairs. I toss my clothes into the corner and then grab myself out my outfit for the day. I decide on a pair of skinny, tight, light blue jeans and a knitted, grey sweater. After getting dressed I walk over to Julia's vanity set and plop myself down to dry and curl my hair. After about 40 minutes of untangling, drying, curling and hair spraying with only one arm, I'm finally happy with my hair and move onto my make up. I start with a light layer of foundation and concealer, followed by some contouring and blush. Then I do a somewhat impressive smokey eye for only having my left arm to work with and a cat-eye type eyeliner. After layering on my mascara I'm finally ready. By now it's already 9:30 a.m. So I run back upstairs.

"Ouu cutie pie." Julia says as I walk in and sit down on the couch.

"Thanks." I say and grab up Austin, plopping him down in my lap.

"I'm gonna go get ready." Julia says, pushing herself up and walking away.

Austin babbles as I text Mason.

"Hey, so what movie are we seeing?" I ask.

"That's a surprise Cassy;)" Mason replies.

I roll my eyes and then turn off my iPod.

12:15 p.m.

After a few hours Mason pulled in the driveway. His eyes still sparkling and his hair still a mess of perfection. He has on a grey, zip up sweater and a dark pair of jeans.

"Why hello again." He smirks and wraps his arms tightly around my waist.

"Hi." I say, biting my lips before pressing them against his.

I smile and skip inside, grabbing a black infinity scarf and wrapping it around my neck. I also grab my purse and sling it over my shoulder. Then I rummage through the closet and take out Julia's pair of purple, high top converse.

"Hey those are mine!" Julia says, holding Austin in one arm and pointing her finger at me with the other.

I smile as I haphazardly lace them up then I blow her a kiss as we walk out the door. Mason and I make our way to his car, he jogs slightly ahead of me and opens the passenger side door. He swings his arm in front of himself and holds out his hand, gesturing me to use it for support whilst getting into the car, how gentleman like. He shuts the door once I'm settled and then climbs into the drivers seat beside me. He flashes me an irresistible smile before the engine roars and we speed down the road.

We make small talk as we drive, talking about his mom, my parents, my stepsister, Austin and anything under the sun. I reach over and rest my hand on his thigh and smirks, making his ears move. I giggle and gaze at him as he focuses on the road.

Damn I'm lucky to have him again.
