Water through your fingers(GirlxGirl)

Date

When I woke up the next morning it was the happiest I had ever felt in a long while.

I showered quickly and put on my clothes and practically skipped down the stairs into the kitchen where Martha was once again busy at the stove.

I picked her up and spun her around, she squeeled and I kissed her cheek.

"Good morning Martha." I said as I released her and she tried to fix her clothes and I plopped down in my seat.

"What gotten into you this morning?" She asked and my thoughts immediately went to Avery.

"Ah, I see. So when will I get to meet this girl that's got you so smitten?" She asked and I chuckled as she placed my food in front of me.

"As soon as I win her over." I said and dug in. Martha laughed as she kissed my cheek.

"That shouldn't take long, no one can resist the Castellanos charm." She said and I chuckled.

After I ate my breakfast I told Martha bye and jumped in my car.

A soon as I pulled out of the gate the van was following me. They stopped outside of the school gates and I parked my car and got out.

My eyes scanned the parking lot for a head of blonde hair and I spotted her by the front of the building talking to a tall boy with dark hair.

Smiling I walked towards her and the people in front of me moved to the side and tracked my progress.

The boy she's talking to finally noticed me and glared. I'm shocked by his reaction but I don't let that stop me from my goal.

I finally reach Avery and wrap my arms around her waist and pull her back into me and place a light kiss against the side of her neck.

"Good morning amanti." I whisper in her ear and feel her shudder. I look up at the boy still in front of us and see him glaring even harder at me.

I glare back and he looks away gritting his teeth. I spin Avery around and find her blushing beautifully. I lean in to kiss her cheek and she blushes even more.

"Morning Mason." She mumbled and looked down.

I placed one finger under her chin and made her look up.

"Can I walk you to class?" I asked and she immediately nodded her head. I threaded her arm through mine and led her to the building, she paused and turned.

"Sorry Dean, I'll see you later!" She had to shout because we were already a good distance away.

The boy, Dean, smiled faintly and waved at her before we turned away.

"Is that my competition?" I asked and she faintly nodded her head.

All day I escorted her to her classes and waited for her if we had seperate ones.

I could hear people already talking about me and how I had taken a liking to the new girl.

After school I walked her to her car and she gave me her address so I could pick her up later tonight. I kissed her cheek as she started her car and drove off.

Walking to my own car I paused as I felt eyes on me. Looking up and across the parking lot I saw Dean standing by his car with a scowl on his face. I smiled at him and got in my car and drove off.

As always I was followed but I didn't mind as I was too happy.

I ran inside and threw open my closet door and groaned.

You know that feeling when you have so much to wear but nothing too wear?

I sat down on the chair in the closet and just stared. I had no idea what to put on. I really wanted to impress Avery.

That was how Martha found me almost two hours later.

"Don't you have a date tonight?" She asked and I nodded my head.

"In two hours." I said.

"Then why are you just sitting here?" She asked

"Nothing to wear." I replied and she chuckled and pulled me out of my seat.

"Go shower, I'll have everything ready by the time you get out." She said and I kissed her cheek and went to go shower.

By the time I got out Martha had placed everything on my bed. My underwear, A pair of black slacks, a grey silk button up shirt and at the foot of the bed my black low heeled boots.

I silently thanked Martha and got dressed. I also but on my silver watch and my fathers ring which I had had resized for me.

I had let my hair air dry so it was a little curly and kept it down.

When I walked downstairs Martha whistled at me and I chuckled.

"Thank you, wish me luck." I said and walked out the door.

I put her address into the Gps and arrived ten minutes early.

Her home was a lovely two story house with an attached garage. I got out of the car and walked to her door and rang the doorbell.

A man who looked exactly like Avery answered the door.

"Can I help you?"

"Goodnight sir, I'm here to pick up Avery."

He nodded and stepped aside so that I could come inside. We stopped in the hallway and a beautiful woman came over and hugged me.

"Aren't you just gorgeous." She gushed and I froze from being hugged by a stranger.

"Honey let the poor girl go, you don't even know who she is and yet you're hugging her like she's a long lost relative." He said and she playfully slapped his arm.

"I know exactly who this is. She Avery's date." The woman said smiling at me.

"Avery's date? I thought she said she was going out with someone named Mason?" He asked.

"That's me. I'm Mason Castellanos." I said and held out my hand for him to shake.

He shook my hand firmly and I returned the favor. He seemed to approve as he relesed my hand and smiled.

"Avery!" Her mom called up the stairs.

"Coming!" Was the reply and a few minutes later Avery came walking down the stairs and I was stunned. She was wearing a grey knee length short sleeved dress with a pair of black flats. Some of her blonde hair was pined up on the side while the rest cascaded down her back.

I didn't know I was staring so hard until her dad reached over and closed my mouth.

"Sorry, ummm, Avery, you look, wow." I said and she blushed while her mom giggled.

I held out my hand for her to take and she took it immediately and I brought it to my lipd and kissed the back of it.

After her dad had told me her curfew I walked Avery to my car and made sure she was comfortable before I got in on my side and drove us to the resturant.

Everything was going great and we were learning alot about each other but I couldn't tell her everything yet. We laughed and talked and had a good night.

That is until someone decided to shoot at Avery.
