Figure 8

2. Questions after questions.

~Mason Nicole's POV~

I jog down the stairs and on the couch was a woman around her 40's, two younger girls, and one teenage boy, Zayn. I sat on the couch next to my mum facing them.

"So." I shrug.

"Mason these are our new neighbors. Zayn, Tricia, Safaa and Waliyha.." She grits her teeth beckoning me to be more polite.

"Oh hi, I'm Mason Nicole." I smile bogusly.

"That's lovely. How old are you Mason Nicole?"

"I turn seventeen in a few months." I flip my wavy blonde hair back.

"Mason maybe you can tell Zayn about London and get to know him upstairs." My mom offers.

I signal Zayn to the stairs as we both bolted up them, Zayn following behind.

"That was awkward of them." He mumbles.

"How so?" I run my fingers through my hair, walking to my vanity to grab a hair tie and failing to find one.

"I think it's cute." He half-smiles.

"What?" I look back at the boy who chose to relax on my bed with his back against the headboard.

"I mean your hair pretty lady." He gives me a nickname. "But back to your actual question, I don't find meeting new people exciting."

"Oh, okay." I have a laugh. "I have to work on homework for photography class."

"You have guests in your house Mason Nicole." He pretends to feel left out. "Entertain me."

"Alright then." I set down the camera and walk to the end of my bed to face him. "I guess I'll tell you about London?"

"I know about London." He simply smirks. "How about the typical ice breaker, but I ask you questions about you that I know the answer to and you ask me questions about me?"

"You're implying I don't know a lot about you?" My slightly offended tone catches his attention

"You don't know me at all, Mason Nicole." He smiles to lighten the mood. "I'm a tough act to follow. So pay attention."

"Okay." I pause. "If you were drunk who's the person you'd like to take care of you?"

"Myself." He shrugs easily. "Does talking about sex make you uncomfortable?"

"Depends." I think way too hard. "Do you like it when people play with your hair?"

"Depends on the situation."

"Gross." I scrunch my face and he laughs.

"What are your bad habits?"

"Procrastination. Have you ever liked someone and never told them?"

"I never have to tell them. They get the point." He smirks. "Ever been to a bonfire party?"

"I adore them." I daydream. "How m-"

"Do you like bubble baths?" My baby sister walks in and sits on his lap.

"Of course. And what's your name love?" He smiles at the toddler.

"Violet." She grins then looks at me and points. "That's Masie."

"She's like mini you." He looks at me.

"A little bit." I study my sisters features. "So what school do you go to?"

"The same one as you. I just transferred."

"Oh. Ana was saying.." I mumble at the end. He is the new guy.

"You're really cute." The baby blurts to him.

"Violet!" I laugh putting my hand to my head.

"You're extremely cute." He pokes her nose and she exits the room.

"Take off your shoes you're gonna mess up the sheets." I find the hair tie on my dresser and pull my hair up into a ponytail.

"Okay baby."

"Don't call me baby." I turn around startled as I faced him, he stands closer.

"I would like to." He twirls my ponytail with his fingers. I step back.

"No no." I laugh.

"You're so hasty, why's that?"

"I like to be quick." I state.

"So quick you won't even look me in the eye." He reads me like a book. "Do I make you nervous Mason Nicole?"

"No. You don't make me nervous. Looks like you really don't know me." I cock an eyebrow.

"You're testing me pretty lady. I like it." He acts impressed.

"Zayn, time to go." Tricia yells from downstairs.

Zayn looks at the door then back at me, slowly pulling our faces closer he kisses me. Not just a peck, a long kiss. Once he lets go he walks towards the door.

"Bye pretty lady." He continues to walk with no contact.
