He Saved Me

Chapter fifty six

Almost as soon as I got home last night I fell asleep.

This morning I woke up bright and early and decided to make myself a cup of coffee and sit on the back porch.

Its summer and I haven't felt this way during summer in a while.

Usually, I would be at work or sitting in my room, scared of being assaulted. Not anymore.

A huge smile makes its way onto my face as I breathe in the fresh air, realizing, I'm finally at peace.

A couple hours pass and Mason makes his way outside.

"Hey beautiful. What are you doing out here?" He kisses me softly, sitting in the chair next to me.

"Just admiring everything, thinking. How'd you sleep?" I smile.

"Okay. I slept good, and you?" He asks.

"Never slept better" I place my mug on the floor next to my chair.

"You're in a great mood" He smiles at me, successfully turning my insides to goo.

"I am" I nod, confirm his statement.

"I'm happy to hear that" He holds his arms out. I get up and sit in his lap, his arms going around me and rocking me back and forth.

"So, I have two date ideas" Mason turns me around.

"And what are those?" I smile.

"Both is dinner. One is fancy, one is more casual. Its up to you" He shrugs.

"More casual, I need more time to get ready for a fancy dinner" I laugh.

"I'll never understand girls" He shakes his head, smiling.

"Yeah, well I'll never understand guys. Y'all are confusing" I smile, standing up.

"I'll give you that" He agrees, standing up with me.

"Good" I nod.

"What do we do now?" I sit at the island, watching Mason make coffee.

"I have plenty of ideas" A smirk spreads on his face.

"Come on Mas, I'm being serious" I shake my head.

"Yeah, so am I" He pours creamer in.

"I'm sure you are" I chuckle, standing up.

"Where are you going?" He looks at me through his eyelashes.

"I'm going to use the restroom. I need to pee" I laugh.

"I'll be in, in a second" He smirks.

"Shut up" I yell, closing and locking the door.

I do my business and meet Mason back in the kitchen.

"Tim and Dani want to go on a double date so we're canceling dinner and rescheduling it" Mason smiles.

"Is this what I think it is?" I whine.

"Yes, it is. Get your jacket and jeans, we're going skating" Mason laughs, hugging me.

"Mason, I literally can't. This is going to be so embarrassing" I sigh.

"It will be only us. Don't worry, you'll be a pro by the time we're done" He smiles, fixing my hair.

"We're going at 2:00" He fixes his shorts.

"I'm going to kill all of you" I shake my head, sitting on the couch.

"You would never. I'm your favorite person" He chuckles, sitting next to me.
