Life Has To Go On (On Hold)

Chapter Eight: The Question

"Go in," Mason orders.

"No," I say firmly.

"Now," Mason said.

"You know I could do this forever," I reply crossing my over over my chest.

"So can I. And I won't stop until you're in the house," Mason said.

I groan, "Just leave me out here. You can bring me my clothes and some food."

"No. Get in," Mason said.

I groan, sigh, and then scowl before I go in. Mason chuckles and he closes the door once we're in.

I immediately go upstairs to my room and close the door. But it soon opens by Mason. He comes in and I say, "Close the door."

Mason sighs and closes the door. He falls on his bed and takes off his shoes.

"Mason?" I ask.

"Yeah?" He replies.

"Are you really going to talk with Jacob?" I ask.

"Sure why not? I have to meet him especially after I saw what you two were doing," Mason said.

I hear a squeal, not mine.

Summer comes out from under my bed and stands up. "Summer!" I scold.

"What? So what did you catch them doing?" Summer asks as she sits next to Mason on his bed.

"Why don't I show you?" Mason asks quietly.

Before she can respond, Mason puts his lips on Summer's. They kiss and I grab a pillow and smash it on my face. I scream in it.

"Is it over?" I ask after a while.

"Yup. Now tell me what happened?" Summer asks and she takes away the pillow so I can see her.

"We were.... Sorta playing in the puddles?" I say it more like a question.

"Sorta? He was carrying you!" Mason says.

Summer falls on my bed.

"He likes you!" She shouts.

I clamp my hand over her mouth. "Don't shout Summer!" I whisper.

"And no he doesn't," I said as I remove my hand from her mouth.

"When are you guys going to meet up?" Summer asks.

"I don't know. When we can I guess," I reply.

"Like today?" Summer asked excitedly.

"No not today after he let me sleep in his room and I saw him shirtless," I blurt out and immediately cover my mouth with my hand.

"SAW HIM? WITHOUT A SHIRT?!" Summer shouts so loud I'm pretty sure the people in the town could hear it.

"Kinda and I hugged him without a shirt," I blurt out again. I smack my face and groan.

"Hugged him? Shirtless?" Mason asks looking at Summer who fell off my bed and is silently squealing and making other weird noises. I need new friends...

"Maybe," I mutter.

"Yes or no?" He asks.

"Yes," I answer and watch Mason's expression.

Mason stares at me and then he frowns. After the frown, he's shocked and then he's happy.

Are you okay there Mason?

"What?" I ask biting my lip to stop me from laughing at his face.

"I want to meet him. Today," Mason states.
