He Saved Me

This chapter is dedicated to @HessaForevrr ! Go give her a follow, along with me! :)

I woke up to Mason's cold fingertips running up and down my bare thighs.

I turn over, smiling up at his peaceful looking face.

"Good morning babe" He kisses my forehead.

"Good morning Mr. White" I giggle as his fingers tickle my sides.

He smiles before checking his watch. "I need to go to practice and then see Ms. Price. Elle said she's not doing great. I'll come back over tonight when I'm done" He grabs his clothes and slips them on before tossing a baseball hat on his head and going into the bathroom.

Yesterday was awful. My mom wants my forgiveness but I don't know what to do. She seems better, but I can't trust them. My father is a lost cause. He's just as bad sober, as he was drunk.

I'm reminded of the awful night terror I probably woke the whole house up with last night.

When he comes back out he sits on the bed next to me, caressing my cheek. His shirt fits like a glove, showing every muscle and feature of his that I adore. I have to stop myself from drooling over him.

"Hey, I'm sorry about last night" I shake my head, placing my head in my hands.

"You have nothing to apologize for, okay?" He shakes his head, removing my hands. "You didn't do anything. I'm glad I was there to make sure you were alright"

"It was because I saw them. I should be okay tonight" Chills erupt over my body at the thought of it.

"It's all good. You're okay, right?" He asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I nod, giving him a small smile.

"Good. Don't wait up for me baby" He kisses me, deepening it.

My hands travel up his shirt, wanting to feel his skin on mine. He pulls away, kissing my temple. "Later, okay?" He smiles, grabbing his keys.

I fall back on his bed, feeling overwhelmed and tired.

A knock sounds at the door and Tara pokes her head in. "Hey, sweetie. Can I get you some coffee or tea?"

"Oh, no thank you, Tara. I have to go to work. Thank you so much" I smile at her.

"Okay, honey. Have a good day" She closes the door and her footsteps recede.

I gather my stuff and make my way home to get changed for work. It's my late day, so I have to close.

When I walk into work, I am met with a smiling Cody. "No way. Are you working with me today?" I smile.

"Yes, I am. The dream team is back in action" He smiles, high-fiving me.

"Let's kill this thing" I laugh, walking over to the register.

--Skip to closing--

There are five minutes left until I can officially close. I clean up the area so that I can get home quickly.

The door opens and a familiar face walks in. I can't seem to remember where I've seen her through.

"Hi, how may I help you?" I ask. Her eyes linger on mine a little longer than I find comfortable before they rack my body.

"Um, excuse me?" I clear my throat.

"I'm sorry. Are you from around here?" She asks. I nod, dialing Mason's phone number in case I need it.
