Twisted Love

Chapter 41

I tried taking a few steps towards him but my feet were not moving. It was as if I was stuck in that very spot. Mason too was stood there in the same spot. His eyes were deadly. I could sense the anger in them.

With all the courage that I had in me, I walked towards him but he walked away. He went to Mr Juan and started talking to him. Then he looked at me and signaled me to come where he was standing. Of course he can not speak to Mr Juan alone. Yes they both know each others language a little but not much that they can converse in it.

We three stood there speaking about the campaign. Mr Juan was planning to do a fashion show as well but it is not decided yet.

Mr Juan's phone ranged and he excused himself which only left me and Mason together. Awkwardness was what I was feeling at the very moment.

"Mason.." I started to speak but he cut me off mid sentence.

"How is work going in the office?" He asked looking anywhere but me.

" Everything is fine. How.."

"Great." He said and left leaving me alone in the spot without looking behind.

"What are you doing here all alone?" Alice asked me suddenly. I did not even realize when she reached me. I looked at her startled.

"Umm I was speaking to Mr Juan and." I told her.

"I can't see him. Where did he go?" She looked around.

"I don't know." I walked away. I was in no mood of answering her questions right now but that does not mean that she would not follow me.

She held he my elbow and stopped me. "Suck it up and tell me what changed your mood. You were so happy a while ago."

"Alice seriously nothing. I just need a breath of air. That's it." She held my hand.

"Don't you dare walk away again without uttering a word."

I closed my eyes. She will not let me leave unless I tell her everything. "Mason saw us together."

"Mason? He is here?" She asked confused.

"Yes, he is and he saw Nate and Me together."

"So?" She raised her eyebrows as if it was not a big deal. May be it was not but for Me it was.

"So? He saw us together when we were standing really close to each other, Alice." I threw my hands in the air with frustration.

"Close? As in? What were you two doing?" She said with a wicked smile.

"Definitely not what you are thinking. My hair came on my face due to the wind and he was putting them behind my ear. That's it."

"Oooh, nice."

"Alice." I glared at her.

"What? Last time I remember you two broke up because of him after that he was in some la la land for over a month. Now that he is back he is angry that you have moved on. Are you kidding me? Let him get jealous if he wants to, Elena."

Out of all she said I only focused on one word 'Jealous'.
"You think he is jealous?"

"Was he not angry when he saw you two together?"

"He indeed was."

"Then?" I smiled hearing that. He is jealous that means that he still cares about me.

"What are you thinking, Elena?"

"Oh nothing." I walked away with a smile. Somehow this realization made me happy.

I saw him there standing with the team member looking at some papers, then talking to someone on the phone. I can't help but stare at him from afar but I want to talk to him. No scratch that I need to talk to him. I need to know where he was for such a long time but the question was how do I do that?

I was lazily walking around. Everyone was busy doing something or another and here I was trying to figure out a way to speak to Mason. I am going mad. I mean he was the one who pushed me away and I like an idiot still trying to figure out a way to speak to him. I must be going crazy. If he wants to speak to me then he will come to me. I will not talk to him till then.

"Elena?" I suddenly turned around. Mason? Mason was calling me. I looked at him and he indeed was looking at me. A huge smile came up on my face. I reached him as fast as possible.

"Yeah?" I was smiling. He raised his eyebrows then shook his head as if trying to compose himself.

"Yes. Mr Juan wants to discuss few things after the shoot so you would have to accompany us."

"Cool." He looked at me intensely. I could not look away. I don't know for how long we two were staring at each other. There was so much I wanted to say to him. So many questions were there in my mind but could not say anything.
"Mason.." I was about to say something when someone else interrupted me.

"Elena." I heard someone calling me but I did not stop my staring game with Mason. It felt as if we were like this after years not months. His eyes were dark. His clean shaved look was gone. He had stubble now but like everything else it too was suiting him.

Someone touched my arm. That is when Mason looked away and I looked at my right. It was none other than Nate. I literally facepalmed myself.

"I need you for a minute." Nate said and I heard Mason chuckling in front of me. We both looked at him but he was looking away.

"I am busy, Nate. Mason and I were.."

"No. We are done, Elena. You can go with Nate." Mason cut me off. I stared at him. Nate might think that it was a normal sentence but I could sense the double meaning in it.

"Really? We are done, Mr Anderson?"

He did not say anything for a minute, just looked me in the eyes then looked away and nodded.
"Long time." He said these two words and walked away like always leaving me behind.

"Elena?" Nate called me again. "Are you okay?" Here is Nate who likes me, tries to keep me happy and then I looked at the figure going away from me. He does not even care about me now why I am still waiting for him?

"Yeah. Let's go, Nate." I smiled at him and we started walking together.
