I Knew You Once

Chapter 3

I am opening my eyes. I fell asleep,I was sleeping! I see Mason sleeping next me.  His shirt is off, my shirt is off and I'm wearing my tank top.

My heart starts to pound. "Mason." I call for his name.

I see Mason opening his eyes. "Yes, baby. What's wrong?"

"Mason." I'm so afraid.

"What's wrong?"

"Did we?..." I said I didn't care about what happened, but I did. I was just so caught up in the moment.

Mason looked at me, then down, then at me again. "No." He's smiling. "I told you, you can trust me."

I start to cry. I was very lucky to be with Mason. He's here comforting me, and he's showing me that I can trust him again.

Mason puts out his arm and grabs my waist. "Now, bring your beautiful self here." He pulls me close and hugs me tight. "And let's go back to sleep."

I should be happy nothing happened, but I wasn't. Some part of me wished it happened. I felt Mason's warm touch on my chin.

"Give me those perfect lips." Mason lifted up my chin and kissed me. Perfect lips. I see Bryan. Sorry Mason, but his lips were very perfect. Your lips are like heaven, but his lips are so... Ugh, you can't even put it in words. I think about Bryan all day. That reminds me! The phone. I was so into looking at Bryan, I didn't actually know whose phone it was. I rolled over to be on top of Mason.

"Ugh, your fat." Mason opened one eye and put on a smile.

"Shut up." I hugged him close and gave him a kiss on the lips. "Man, that feels so good."

"Of course it does. I'm an excellent kisser."

Oh gosh, that was the truth. I gave him another kiss and got off of him. I went downstairs to look for the phone Bryan gave me. I left it on the kitchen counter. I looked at the screen and saw our picture. Mason and I are smiling and so happy. Those were the best days. I dug a little deeper in the phone. This was most certainly not my phone. It was Mason's.

"Mason!" I yelled.

"Yeah."

I saw 12 unread messages. It was from a girl named Sophia. I wanted to know more.

"Oh, nothing. I got it." I lied.

"Alright." Mason went back to sleep.

I read the messages.

Message 1: where are you?

Message 2: I need you

Message 3: hello?!

Message 4: Mason! If you don't answer it's over.

Message 5: omg...is something wrong? Plz answer.

I couldn't read anymore. There wasn't any real damage here, but I needed to know who this was. Why didn't this person call? Instead, I called. It rung once, twice, and five more times. No answer. Maybe they agreed on no calling. I texted her: Pick up your phone.

I called again, she answered.

Sophia: Mason! Why haven't you answered my messages?

Me: Who is this?

She hung up on me. I texted:

I need to know who you are. I am Mason's girlfriend. Plz, I need to know.

Sophia: I'm just an old friend.

I stopped texting. I didn't want to be an overprotective obsessed girlfriend. I hid the phone in the top cabinet above the refrigerator.
