Twisted Love

Chapter 20

In the morning I woke up with a smile on my face and not that irritated look.
Today would be the first day of us in office after we got into a relationship. I'm looking forward to it if I may say.
I have never given much thought to how I should dress, what should I wear for office but I don't know why but it feels different. I mean I know that it's just Mason.
'No it's not just Mason he is your boyfriend Mason' my mind said.
Well that's true. He is my boyfriend now. So many girls in the office are going to get jealous of me. But no we can not tell this to anyone. It has to be our secret.
Finally I wore a blue tulip skirt with a white blouse. I applied a little mascara and red lipstick.
I was impressed with myself. I looked good.
"Morning people." I greeted my parents and sat on my chair.
"You okay Elena?" My Dad inquired.
"Of course Dad. Why?" I smiled at him.
"That's why." He shook his head.
"How come you are so chirpy in the morning sweety?" My mom came out of the kitchen with breakfast in her hands.
"And early too. You are sitting here and not running and whining." My Dad added.
I laughed. What can I say now.
"I slept nicely last night and woke up early today."
They both were looking at me like I am not their daughter but an alien who is difficult to understand but I can't blame them for this because I seriously am not a morning person. Even I'm surprised with myself today. May be love ohhhoo hang on there Elena Edwards. Love? You love him? No. I like him. Not love. I shook my head. I'm going mad.
I ate my breakfast said goodbye to my parents and left for the office.
First person who came running to me in the office was surprise suprise Alice.
She hugged me so tightly that I thought I might be dead now.
"Alice, I can't breathe." I choked.
"Oh. Sorry. Wait I'm not. Now you come with me." She took my hand and made me follow her.
Everyone was looking at wierdly.
I just smiled at them.
"Alice leave my hand. I can walk by myself just fine. There is no need to drag me."
She ignored me.
We reached our desks and she finally left my hand.
"I'm so excited you know. Are you two gonna play hide n seek in office now?" She asked.
"Hide n seek? Great choice of words there Ali." I laughed.
"Oh shut it. "
"Yes. Obviously we are not gonna tell about it to anyone in office. It's going to be our 'secreto'."
"Cool! It will be fun."
"Yeah." She looked more excited than I was.
"You know I'm happy that finally you start liking someone else. I mean after him I never heard about anyone from you. Though you say it was just an infatuation but I seriously believe that you were in lo.."
"Alice. He was my past. Mason is my present. I don't know what I felt for him but for Mason, it's definitely stronger."
"I'm happy for you." She hugged me again but this time like a human.
"I know. Let's get back to work now. "
I said when we pulled away.
"Yeah."
We started working after that.
An hour ago I realized Mason has not come to the office yet.
Just as I thought about it, the door opened and entered Mason Anderson. He was wearing a blue denims, white Tee and a black jacket. His hair dishelved.
I noticed a lot of girls were staring at him, greeting him. Wow I never noticed this before. Yes I knew that obviously girls do check him out but I never noticed. Well well things has changed now.
Mason greeted everyone and finally came to my desk.
"Miss Edwards" A smile was playing around his lips.
"Yes Mr Anderson?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Hi Mason. Morning." Alice interrupted.
"Hi Alice. Good Morning to you too." Mason kindly replied to her.
"I heard you had a great meeting in Mexico." Alice said mischievously.
Mason looked at me with a questionable look.
I narrowed my eyes at Alice.
"Yes. It was great." Mason said and then he looked at me.
"Miss Edwards can you come to my office please?"
I just nodded. Mason went to his cabin.
I looked at Alice.
"What?" She asked.
I shook my head. "Nothing." I smiled at her and went to Mason's cabin with a notepad in my hand.
I knocked at Mason's office.
"Come in." I heard Mason.
I went inside.
"Hey!" I said to Mason.
He was standing with the table. Hands folded. He smiled at me and extended his hand towards me.
I was about to hold it but he pulled it away immediately.
"What the fuck?" I said. I turned around and was about to leave but he took my hand and pulled me towards him with such force that my hand went to his chest.
"Leave me Mason." I huffed.
"Never." He closed his eyes and toched my forehead with his.
Automatically I closed my eyes too.
"I missed you." We both said it together and chuckled.
Our eyes still closed.
After a minute Mason put a hand on my cheek and started to speak.
"So, I see Alice knows about us."
"Yeah." I chuckled. "She and Shanaya. I told them last night."
"Did you tell anyone?" I asked him.
"No. Not yet." He shook his head.
I nodded simply.
"You look beautiful today but I don't like it. Many guys were staring at you today. I so wanted to punch them in the face, Right there, in front of everyone." I smiled after hearing this.
"Why are you smiling Edwards?"
"Aww someone is feeling possesive. Second thing stop calling me Edwards, Mason." I rolled my eyes.
"My office, my rules." He said and took my hand and started playing with my fingers.
"But this is my hand." I pulled my hand away. "And I have to go and work now. We have been here for quite a while now."
"So what? Can't we discuss something important?"
"Sure thing love."
He pulled me by the waist this time.
His hands on either side of my waist.
"At 1 meet me downstairs. We will go for a lunch. It's 11:50 right now." He said while looking at his watch. 
"How can I say no to you Sir." I smiled at him and he laughed.
"Now leave before I hold you back here with me." He said.
I chuckled. "Fine."
I walked towards him and kissed him lightly on his cheek.
He closed his eyes. I whispered in his ear then "Bye Mr Anderson." And pulled away.
His eyes were still closed.
I walked towards the gate and was about to leave when I heard him saying "Damn you Woman!"
I laughed and closed the door behind me.
'Back to work Edwards.' I said to myself and went to my desk.
