Infinite Love

Chapter 2

When i got home, i washed my face and removed the small amount of makeup that i wore to school. I put on my skinniest jeans and a tight, long sleeve, white lace shirt. Then, i slipped on a pair of black boots and straightened my hair. Finally, I reapplied a small layer of makeup and walked over to Ryan's house.

Ryan had said he would drive Gabby and I. Of course, being the amazing sister that I am, I said yes so Gabby could ride with Ryan. Mason had offered to pick me up but I figured it would be better if Nash took both of us.

When we got to the pizza place, Jacob, Bella, Alex and Olivia were already there. We walked over to the table just as Mason walked in with Matt. Now everyone was here.

Matt came over and sat down in the seat next to me, even though I was saving it for Mason.

"Can we talk?" Matt leaned over and whispered. I nodded and we both got up from the table. Matt told everyone that we would be right back and lead me to the front of the pizza place. "Listen, I'm sorry about the kiss. I've liked you for awhile, but I didn't want to ruin our friendship. Then, I was gonna tell you, but we were standing so close and I don't know what I was thinking. Honestly, I'm really sorry, Gi," Matt explained. I felt bad for him, he looked so sad, like he thought I hated him now.

"Matt, seriously, don't worry about it," I comforted him. He sighed and smiled. But, it wasn't a full smile, it didn't reach his eyes.

"I just don't want things to be weird, ya know? I respect our friendship too much for that." He shoved his hands into his pockets.

"Matt, you're the best friend I could every ask for. I'm not just gonna throw that all away because we kissed," I explained.

"You sure you're okay with it? It won't be awkward?"

"Yup, I'm positive," I confirmed.

"Great, let's go pack to the table, I'm starving," Matt laughed.

"Sounds good to me," I giggled.

When we got back to the table, I saw Ryan and Gabby holding hands under the table. I walked by her and raised my eyebrows. She started blushing, but I smiled. It's really great Ryan and Gabby have something going on, she's liked him for a long time. I felt like all of a sudden, there was a lot of things happening between our group.

After eating our pizza, we walked across the street. Olivia ran up to me.

"Oh. My. God!" She squealed. "Alex just told me that Mason is totally going to ask you out!'

My eyes went wide.

"Are you serious?!" I asked. She nodded and we both squealed with excitement. I'm not the most girly girl, but Olivia and Gabby are. I mean, sure, I like shopping and I wear makeup & cute clothes, but i'm not some mini-skit, high-heel wearing girl. But, when I'm with Gabby and Liv, we all act like girly- girls. It's fun to hang out with them, but I like hanging with Matt much better

After we ordered our ice-cream, we sat in a booth and just hung out. We made a vine and I think a couple people posted on Instagram. Mason invited me over to his house while we were eating ice-cream. I said yes, of course.

Gabby told me that Ryan was going to drive her home and finally admitted that her and Ryan were going out. Apparently, Ryan had asked her out during seventh period, which they had together. I just couldn't believe she managed to keep that secret from me for almost all day!

We all finished up our ice-cream and said good-bye.

The ride to Mason's hosue was quiet, but we didn't have to say anything. When I looked over at him, he seemed kind of angry. I started to feel like that anger was because of me.

After a long ride of silence, we finally reached his house. There wasn't anyone home, but we went downstairs to the basement anyways.

"Mase, what's wrong?" I blurted out. He looked up from his phone.

"Gia, I thought you liked me," A look of hurt flashed across his face.

"Why wouldn't I?" This was confusing me. Why would Mason think I don't like him?

"Don't give me these excuses. I finally work up the nerve to invite you to mu lunch table, we hold hands and I even invite you over to my house! But what do you do?! You go off and kiss Matt!" He said angrily.

"Mason, I want to be with you, not him!" I argued.

"Then why would you kiss Matt?"

"I don't know! he leaned in and I got caught up in the moment."

"I really don't get why you would lead me on to thinking you like me at lunch and then you go over Matt's house and I find out you guys kiss!"

"Who told you anyways?!"

"I was hoping you would tell me if something like this every happened."

"Mase, who told you that Matt and I kissed?" I could feel my eyes beginning to fill with tears. After all this time I almost had Mason as my boyfriend and then I went and ruined it all.

"Don't get mad," he paused. "But, Matt told me."

I could feel my eyes starting to overflow with the tears. I couldn't take it anymore. I sank down into the couch and curled up. I cried into my hands and Mason came over and held me in his arms. I cried into his warm, strong chest.

when I finally caught my breath, he let me explain.

"I-I re-really like y-you M-Mason," I managed to stammer out. "I w-wouldn't do an-anything to hu-hurt you. I-I have li-liked you for a l-long t-time."

Mason pulled me tighter into his chest. He wiped my hair off my tear-stained cheeks. We sat cuddled up against each other for awhile.

"Im sorry, i cant believe i was such a jerk. Youre not my girlfriend yet so i dont know why i was acting like you cheated on me. I was just being an idiot." Mason talkled softly and i found it really comforting.

My phone vribrated in my pocket. My mom was sending me a million messages. I was enjoying hanging out with Mason so much, even if we werent even talking. Just being close to him makes me feel warm and safe.

I realized it was almost ten o'clock so i told my mom id be home around eleven. I put my phone away and Mason started talking again.

"The truth is, i was jealous. Ive always been jealous of Matt being your best friend because i always wanted it to be me. I got all happy at lunch when you didnt pull away from me trying to hold you hand. Im really sorry, i shouldnt have treated you that way anyways," Mason explained.

"Dont worry, but next time, dont yell at me- just talk to me and ill explain," i promised him. He nodded and i realized i was staring at his gorgeous face. I looked away quickly and snuggled deeper into his cozy chest.

We talked and laughed and before i knew it, it was eleven o'clock.

"Shoot, i told my mom id be home around eleven," i groaned and got up from the couch.

"Ill drive you," Mason said as he got up and grabbed his car keys.

On the ride home, Mason put his arm around me. I closed my eyes. If i had died at that moment, i wouldve been happy.
