"So what do your best friend think of me?" Was the first thing Mason asked when I got back into the house.

I was so lost in thought I had forgotten that he was still here.

"Huh!?" I asked dumbly having not heard what he'd asked.

"Well I know she's very important to you so I just wanted to know what she thought of me. I know she can be a deal breaker between us." He explained.

"So that's why you came today? You knew I was having a girl's day with her." I asked in realization.

"Guilty as charged. So?" He questioned and it took me a minute to realize what he was asking.

I put on a sad face, the best I could muster "Well she thinks you're too sophisticated, have an ego and you talk way too much about yourself."

Mason looked shocked for a minute before staring directly at me and said"You're lying."

"Whaaat?! Pffft! No am not!" I replied a little too quickly.

"It a good thing I came today because I've learnt a few things about you. Like how you put your hands behind your back when you lie and your voice rises a few octaves higher." He said approaching me to where I was leaning on the door.

"No it doesn't." He gave me a disapproving look"Okay fine. Lee likes you and she said she sees a future for us so I shouldn't sabotage this since am the queen of sabotage.". I said quickly hoping he'd take a step back but he didn't, he actually moved close so we were toe to toe.

This close proximity between us was making me hyperventilate a little and have thoughts that were R-rated. It was too soon, I told myself. But was it?

"What does she mean by queen of sabotage?" he asked me.

"That's a story for another day." I told him not wanting to get into my past right now.

"Now that your best friend approves of me I can finally ask the question." He said.

"What question?" I asked feeling a little anxious.

He took both my hands in his and held eye contact with me. His eyes were brown, I liked that and his hands felt so good in mine. He was soft like a baby. I was actually glad that Mason was tall and had muscles in all the right places. Maybe he would actually be able to lift my fat ass. Thick sorry. Don't let Lee know I thought that.

"Becca." Mason called getting me out of my thoughts.

"Yes?"

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked no hesitation and without blinking at all.

I was shook for a minute. He was the first guy among all the guys I've ever been interested in to ask me face to face. They either assumed we were a couple or asked via text. But Mason was different and he had just proven than to me. Becca's would have a field day with this. Mason cleared his throat and I realized I had zoned out again.

"Are you sure?" I replied dumbly in a quiet voice but I still wanted to know for sure if he was really into this.

Mason chuckled "Beautiful you should know by now. I don't ask anything unless am serious about it especially when it comes to you. Don't make me ask again. I'm at the edge of my seat here." he asked making me laugh a little.

I pretended to think over it for a few more seconds just to torture him before I answered

" Yes Mason I will be your girlfriend."

He pulled me into his arms for a hug and I thought it was going to end there before he surprised me by lifting me up so easily and twirling around making me squeal and hold on tightly. I didn't want him to drop me. He eventually put me down but we still kept our hands around each other, my hands around his neck and his on my waist. He didn't even look of breath after lifting me, maybe he was stronger than I thought.
