Epilogue

(4 years later)

Sweat was covering my body as I forced myself to take one more lap. My breath started to become heavier, but I kept on pushing myself. Summer was finally here and I had officially graduated from college. I had gotten my degree to be a dance teacher and Mason still worked as a secret agent. Mason and I went to the same college, but he only took a couple of classes that the agency wanted him to take. Everything was going good Mark was still Mark and Jake, well, he had stayed true to his word and was trying to change his ways for his girlfriend. The agency still watches every now and then, just to double check. 

Alberto was arrested along with a bunch of his gang members. Some had escaped, but they weren't enough to start anything. He only had about 50 men working for him and out of 50 we had arrested 45. I was safe once again. My mom and dad often visit me a lot.  I think they feel bad on how much of my childhood they missed and want to make it up. They bought a house where close to my grandma's. Mine and Mason's apartment was only about 20 minutes away from them, but we planned on buying a house somewhere closer to my family later on. The only reason why we chose an apartment 20 minutes away was because it was only about a five minute ride from our college.

Mason's parents we don't see quite as often as we would like only because they live about 9 hours away from us and it is quite a long ride. I met them when they came to see Mason at the hospital. His mother is a total sweetheart and his dad looks exactly like an older version of Mason and Mark. He is a very nice man.

I was almost finished my last lap. My ear plugs were blasting out a fast paced song to help me continue to run. The pain was getting stronger and I knew I needed to stop soon. When I finally reached mine and Mason's apartment I quickly opened the wooden door, loving the feel as the cold air conditioning came at me in full force. It helped cool off some of the sweat. I untied my smelly jogging shoes, pulled off my short purple socks and walked through the house to the shower.

I pulled off my purple dry fit tank top, black spandex, black sports bra, and underwear. I turned the shower water to cold and hopped in. I rubbed some warm vanilla shower gel from my favorite bath and body store and scrubbed myself clean. I opened a bottle of green apple shampoo and began massaging it in my hair. I had done and pretty decent job and was about to rinse it out when the bathroom door opened. 

I peeked my head out of the shower not surprised to see Mason standing there. I watched as a he paced back and forth in our small bathroom and scratched the back of his neck. Something he did when he was nervous or worried. I was a little concerned, but decided to get his attention because him pacing back and forth was about to make me dizzy.

Before I could even say something he stopped, then he turned his head and looked at me. "Avery wear something casual, but nice we are going out ."

"Why Mason? What are we doing?" I asked curiously, wondering what was making him so nervous.

"We are going out just be ready by 6. That should give you two hours to get ready since it's four now." He told me still scratching the back of his neck. At least he stopped the pacing... for now.

"Can you tell me where we are going?" I asked sweetly trying to get him to tell me.

"Nope now hurry." With that Mason ran out the bathroom door letting me finishing my shower.

Once was done I wrapped the tan fluffy around my body and went to my closet to pick out something casual, but nice out. After a few minutes of searching I found a beautiful peach dress that was tighter at the top and flowed at the bottom. I let my hair go in its natural form straight with a little bit of wave. I wore a pair of stunning gold hoop earrings that Mason had giving me on my 21st birthday. I slipped on a pair of nude colored flats and went into the living room to go see where Mason was.
