Fate

Chapter 26

Faye searches her closet for something to wear, Mason is bringing her as his 'plus 1' to Jenna's barbecue at the Gilbert house. She chooses a black strapless corset like too, some short shorts a larger camouflage jacket that belonged to James, a gold chain necklace, some combat boots, and a beanie. Faye curls her hair befofe pitting the beanie on.

Faye heads someone knocks on her door and she grins. She jogs to the door, her breasts involuntarily bouncing the entire way. Faye opens the door and Mason's jaw drops.

"You look gorgeous, as always," Mason says. "Tyler is asking questions."

Faye furrows her eyebrows as she gets into Mason's bronco. "What kind of questions?"

"Questions about how to trigger the curse," Mason replies. "If it were up to me and not Laney, I'd never have explained it to you. It's all Tyler will be able to think about."

Faye reaches and grabs Mason's hand. "I understand."

Mason smiles ar her. "Thank you for being so understanding... And for wearing that damn top."

Faye laughs as she looks out the window as Mason drives.
*...+...* *...+...*

Mason and Faye arrive to the Gilbert's and Faye begins playing with Jeremy on the game system. Mason has went to find shot glasses for drinks with Jenna. Mason and Faye aren't together, but they like each other enough to kiss each other. Mason is extra careful so that Faye doesn't find out about him and Katherine.

Faye kicks Jeremy's butt at the game, Jeremy laughs when Faye yelps in frustration when he kills her character.

"Boo yah!" Jeremt chants.

Faye smirks at Jeremy's distracted state and she uses her last playable character to kill his. "And this is why Jasper Hale on Twilight says never turn your back on your enemy."

Jeremy pouts and he smirks. "You're good."

Faye shrugs. "I guess so."

Jeremy smirks. "I'm headed to the Grill. You staying or Wanna give me a ride?"

"I'm gonna stick around, I'm starved," Faye replies.

Jeremy nods. "You look really pretty, by the way."

Faye kisses his cheek teasingly, making him blush. "Too bad I'm not into younger boys," she jokes.

Jeremy hurries our of the house with flaming red cheeks. Faye sees Jenna laughing.

"That was too funny to watch," Jenna muses. "You do look amazing, though. Who's jacket?"

"My father's, I took it when he went to prison," Faye replies. "It's comfy."

Jenna smiles. "You don't have to wear it in here."

Faye nods and she does take the jacket off. She hangs it on the rack beside the door as Damon walks in. He freezes when he sees what Faye is wearing but he smirks.

"Well, now I regret letting another Lockwood snatch you up," he muses.

"Guess I'm into the wolves, not vampires," Faye whispers and she goes to the kitchen, "Mason."

"Abigail," Mason muses.

Faye rolls her eyes and slaps his arm. "It's Faye, not Abigail, mister wise guy."
****************

After eating, everyone gathers around the Gilbert's living room. Mason has an arm wrapped around Faye, who he had cuddle up to him. The group is playing Pictionary, and Damon is poorly attempting to draw... something, Faye has no idea what he's trying to draw, to be his arm.

"Dress!" Jenna guesses. "Ballerina!"

"Puppy!" Caroline exclaims. "Puppy with a tutu!"

"No, no," Damon declines.

"A dog! Hound-dog!"

"Dances with wolves," Mason says casual says from where he's sat.

"Mason wins... again," Damon mumbles.

"How is that a wolf?" Faye asks, almost offended.

Mason smirks at her. "I'll show you a wolf."

Faye elbows him in the ribs as Jenna laughs. "Shut up, Lockwood."

Mason laughs at her and he looks at Damon, the amusement leaves his eyes as he looks at the vampire.

"I think Damon got a pie or something for dessert," Faye says to Mason when they're alone. "He knows what you are."

"I know," Mason replies with a sigh. "Trust me, I've caught on to his innuendos."

Faye nods and she stands, she tugs the shorts down to stop them from winding up, making Mason laugh as he stands. And they go for dessert.
**************

Faye is in on the inner seat beside Mason when Damon brings the pie over with a silver cake knife. Mason and Faye eye one another at the sight.

"Mason, why don't you start us off?" Damon suggests.

Mason shrugs. "Sure." He spins the serving bowl and grabs himself and Faye some. "I apologize, I'm an animal."

Faye snorts. "Uh huh, of course you are."

Mason places his hand on her bare thigh and moves it up, Faye smirks. "What was that?"

"You heard me," Faye coos right back,

"So Mason," Alaric speaks up, cutting the flirting session short, "you and Jenna never dated?"

"She was always lost in Logan Fell land," Mason replies.

"My first mistake," Jenna announces. "Mason was a catch; he had girls lining up."

"Suuuuure," Faye jokes.

"Really?" Damon asks as Mason rolls his eyes playfully at Faye. "I always pegged you for a lone wolf."

Mason looks right at Damon. "I'm sure I wasn't half the lady killer you were.... How about a toast? To new friends."
***************

Faye helps Jenna set up the guitar hero because she is big on video games. Morgan showed up a few minutes ago while Lori plays an away basketball game. Morgan is sitting on the couch, eating pie while Damon goes to get Mason.

"You're an expert like Jeremy," Jenna slurs. "It's awesome."

Faye smiles. "Who do you think taught me?"

Jenna giggles drunkenly, making Faye and Alaric smile at her and each other.
************

Hen Mason leaves, Faye has Morgan drop her off at hone. Fye leaves the jacket on the couch in the living room as she goes to her room. She kicks off her boots first and then her top, and lastly her shorts. She hears someone knock on the door as she stands in just a pair of black lace panties.

Faye ties a red satin robe around her body and she walks to the front. She finds an angry Mason on her front porch.

"What happened?" Faye asks and sighs. "Damon?"

Mason nods and he enters the house, pressing his lips eagerly against Faye's. He kicks the door closed and he pushes Faye against a wall without breaking the kiss. Mason's hand glides dowm her torso and he unties her rob and pushes it off. Mason looks at fayes nearly naked body befofe he picks her up and goes to her bedroom.
