Old Love Dies Hard (spinoff of life happens)

Chapter X - The (Not) Goodbye

So I've packed those jeans and that green shirt and those shoes and...

My phone rings and I quickly pick up when I see that Kate is calling

"Hey" I say and prepare myself for the insults that are about to come

"Hey. You're leaving and you didn't even tell me. How dare you?" she shouts

"Easy there, I'm sorry. I've just been so busy" I bite my lip

"Of course you've been busy" she replies and I thank God that she understands
"With Mason" she laughs
Of course

"Yeah right but how did you know I was leaving?" I ask, I don't remember telling her I am leaving.

"Paul told me" she says

"And how did he know?" I ask again.
I mean surely he couldn't have known because Mason-
"Mason told him" she cuts my thoughts.

Since when have I been so special that Mason discusses me with his friends?

"That's very sweet of you to call" I say to kate and smile.

"No problem. I assume you have a lot of packing to do so I'm not gonna bother you"

"Okay honey. It was nice meeting you" I say

"Same here and by the way you should know that Mason totally likes you" she says and then adds

"Oh mom is calling me, gotta go bye. Love you" and then she hangs up.

Wait what?
I stare at my phone in horror
My heart drums in my chest and I actually start sweating
No no. Kate is wrong.
Surely Mason doesn't like me
Oh crap! No!
This is not happening

My whole body tingles and my reactions are cut short as Mason comes barging into my room

Exactly who I need to see to calm my nerves.
Please notice the sarcasm applied above

"How many times do I have to tell you to knock?" I say while rolling my eyes.

His breathing is heavy, like he's been running, his hair tousled like he has sprinted to my place and his outfit tells me he wore the first thing he could see.
But he still looks so good.

Get it together Amna!

I clear my throat to get his attention off of me because he is definitely looking at me weirdly.

I am wearing a kurta (traditional Pakistani shirt) that my aunt gifted me when I first came here and my hair are tied in a messy bun.

I don't look like Audrey Hepburn or anything!

"Umm yeah, how much time do you have before you leave for the airport?" He asks me, shaking his head and gulping.

I check my wrist but there is no watch there.
Yeah, I've never loved accessories that much.
So I check my phone which is in my other hand and out of the corner of my eye I see Mason chuckling.

"2 hours" I say while glaring at him for laughing at me.

"What are you planning to do in that time?" He asks me
