Twisted Love

Chapter 46

After that stupid slip of tongue of mine we finished the breakfast.

Mason stood up first and went to the sink and was about to wash his plate when I stopped him from behind.

"It's alright. You don't have to do this. You have already done so much."

"No. I have not done anything. Let me do this." He took his plate back from my hand and washed it and went to the seat he was sitting on. Gosh! Someone please stop him, make his stop doing all these things or I will lose all my strength and say something 'again' that I shouldn't.

I washed my plate and cleaned the kitchen.

The whole time Mason was watching me, he was noticing my every move. I don't know why but I was getting a little nervous.
After I was done, I was walking towards Mason when my phone started to ring. It was near Mason only.

"Who is calling?" I asked. Mason picked up my phone and saw the name that was flashing. His expression changed suddenly. It must be 'Nate' I thought.

"Your friend." Mason hissed and passed me the phone.

Something told me that I should not answer this call. I was looking at the phone but was not answering.

"Why are you not answering his phone?" Mason asked me.

"I will speak to him later."

"Why not now?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Just like that." I shrugged.

My phone rang again. 'Damn it.' I closed my eyes. Why can't he stop calling me right now.

"I think you should answer him." Mason said. I looked at him but he stood up and walked away.

I finally answered the call.

"Elena, are you okay? Why you were not picking up my call?"

"Yeah, Nate. I am fine. I was a little busy."

"Busy? Okay." He paused for a few seconds then said. "So if you want we can meet today."

"We?" There's no way I can meet him alone today when Mason was here.

"I mean Me, You, Alice, Nicole and Zack. Alice told me your parents are not at home. So?" I sighed with relief but I looked at Mason from the window sitting on the swing. "I am sorry, Nate but I won't be able to come. I told you I am busy."

"In the evening?"

"No. Sorry but please you guys meet. If there's a plan then please don't cancel it because of me. It will make me feel really bad."

"Okay." His voice low. It was clear that he was upset.

"Bye Nate. Take care. See you tomorrow."

"Yeah, Bye!"

I put my phone in the pocket and went to the garden area.

I sat beside Mason.

"Done with the call so early?." He said.
"Yeah." I said casually. Mason closed his eyes and looked away.

"I think I should leave now." He said after a few minutes. I looked at him.

"This early?" I said no to Nate because of him and he is saying he is leaving. Are you kidding me?

Mason chuckled and looked at me. "This is early? It's 2:30 p.m."

"Yeah, so? I thought we will.." I stopped. Elena, shut up.

"We, what?" He asked. He was trying hard not to smile at me but he should know that I know him better than this.

"You know.. I mean it's Sunday and we can have some fun." I said nonchalantly. Trying to act cool. Even though my heartbeat suddenly started to increase.

"Fun?" He stressed on the word 'fun'.

"Stop picking on one word, Mason."

"What kind of fun?" He smirked.

"Mason Anderson. You very well know what I am trying to say so don't try to make it dirty and embarrass me." I glared at him.
He laughed. His laugh was contagious. At least for me. I could not help but smile. We used to be like this; all the time. I don't know why it all changed. Was it all really a time pass for him? Was it all really a game? Why my heart doesn't want to believe that.

"Why are you giving me that look?" Mason asked me pulling me out of my train of thoughts.

"What look?" I asked confused.

"This look which says you are mad about me." He smirked.

"Oh please. I will get mad 'with' you. Now tell me are you in or not?"

He looked at his watch.

"Alright. Let's have some 'fun'. Tell me what do you want to do?

I thought for a minute. I did not really think about it.

"Well we can go to an amusement park and after that we can go to fishing or something if you want?" I wanted it to be a statement but it came more like a question.

"Do you even know how to do fishing?"

I shook my head. He was right. I don't but I just wanted to have fun and do something new.

"I won't mind trying. I have never done it. You know it, right?"

"Yeah. Used to go with gramps." He smiled. "Okay then. Let's get started."
