Alexis’s POV Dinner with Mason’s dad was anything other than I expected. Not that I expected it to go well, their relationship isn’t particularly a good relationship. But it was like being in an episode of succession, with Logan and Kendall being passive aggressive and I thought women were the passive aggressive ones no offense to us.One good thing though, Mason’s dad is happy that I’m now with his son. Which by the way Mason made it feel we’re just in a casual relationship, technically he said it to his father.I mean maybe he’s just like that with his father because of some unresolved issues between them, atleast that’s what I’m telling myself anyway because his words hurt.To be exact his words were.His father had said, “Alexis I’m glad you and my son are together can’t wait for you to officially part of the family.”“How about you don’t ruin something casual.” Mason had said to his father and his words hurt but I didn’t take it to heart, I told myself it’s not about me it’s abo
My relationship with my mother has always been a normal conventional one or atleast I think so. We fight and make up, we don’t agree on everything and sometimes we agree on everything, she has expectations of me as her daughter and I also have expectations of her as my mother.So I wasn’t particularly surprised when I received an angry voicemail from her, when she found out about Mason and I.Mind you, no one still knows he even asked me to marry him. All she knows or heard is we’re in a relationship and I’m living with him.In her own words, “Alexis what’s this I hear about you and Mason dating? Please tell me this is false news?” That’s from voicemail one.Then she left another one, “Alexis call me back! and for me to find out from Mason’s mother?? How could you do this to me??”Her exact words.“Hey you okay??” Mason asks from the kitchen. He’s cooking something, I don’t know what and I was happily watching him until I checked my phone.“Uhnmm excuse me, I need to call my mother ba
The Happiest Days.Six blissful months of living with Mason. He has been amazing and more than I ever expected, not that I expected things not to go well.I know myself, I love recklessly even if it consumes me and honestly what’s the point of loving someone if it doesn’t consume you. I might not even be making sense but to myself it’s the most sane I’ve ever been.Mason loves me and I love him that’s all that matters.We’ve kept our engagement a secret between us, Mason got me a huge engagement ring and everything which is being kept in my dressing drawer.Sometimes I wear it and only it as Mason makes love to me, slowly and beautifully.Both our families and friends still don’t know about the engagement. My mother still has her issues with the relationship though I’d like to think she’s been pretty cool about it and she’s coming around to accepting it and my father is always supportive of anything that makes me happy.Mason’s parents though love our relationship and are absolutely o
Alex's POV I just moved to New York City. After just completing my PHD. I know no where around this city. I haven't even settled in yet. I'm excited but also kind of stressed out and anxious. After graduating from MIT a year early I immediately completed my undergrad degree and went into a PHD program which then led me back home to California to work in CIS which is a research institute for biological engineering. I then got a call from NYSCF; the New York Stem Cell Foundation a month ago asking if I would like to join them and continue a stem cell treatment I had worked on my PHD programme. So I accepted the offer and moved here, thankfully my childhood best friend Mason lives here. I was practically glad to have Mason here in New York with me, we have lost a little touch over the years with him moving to New York immediately after college to work in his father's company Davis technologies. I'm meeting Mason at a restaurant for dinner, he has been so helpful with the move and e
Alex's POVI wake up to the sound of my cellphone ringing, I check the time to see it's 9 am.It's my dad calling, I answer the call on the 3rd ring."Hello Princess," I hear my dad's cheerful voice."Hello daddy," I say groaning a little."Did we wake you up?" I hear my mom ask, they had the phone on speakerphone."Yeah." I groan."I told you she was probably sleeping," my dad says to my mom and they start arguing."Did you two just call me to argue?" I ask sighing."No princess, how are you? How's New York?" My dad asks. "Have you settled in yet? How's Mason?" My mom continues."I'm fine, I haven't settled in yet I just got here yesterday and Mason is good." I say."What about your apartment? How do you like it? Angie said it's in thesame building with Mason's." My mom says referring to Mason's mom Angie."Yeah it is, the apartment is beautiful." I say."I have to go, I'm jet lagged and I still have to unpack I'll talk to you later." I add."Okay princess, we love you." My mom and d
Mason's POV"This is Nick and his girlfriend Beth," I introduce them to Alexis."Hello it's nice to meet you." She says with a smile as we both sit down."Wow so you're real." Nick asks smiling.Alexis looks between Nick and I confused."Ofcourse she's real, they don't believe I have a female friend." I say explaining. "In fact a female best friend." I add."Why don't they believe?" Alexis asks smiling."Your bestie right here Mason is such a manwhore." Nick says to Alexis."Really?" She asks laughing."Yeah he is." Beth says agreeing with Nick."Let's order drinks," I say changing the subject."Wow Mason, she's gorgeous." Nick whispers quietly to me while Alexis and Beth converse about something.I look over to Alexis, watching her and I feel blood rush down to my groin. She's gorgeous, so beautiful and hot, I have never actually thought about her sexually but since the minute I saw her in the restaurant yesterday she has been all over my mind and then there was the incident about he
Alex's POV I'm officially a newyorker now or atleast I think so, I have been here for a full month now and I have already gotten used to living here.I have started work and made some friends. Mason has been amazing coming over almost everyday after work to hang out, sometimes he sleeps over but in a completely platonic way. He's always busy too so we mostly get to hang out during the weekends, today is Friday and we're suppose to hang out.I was already home so I get dressed and and call him."Shit! I forgot about today." He says immediately he answers the call."Where are you?" I ask."I'm kind of out." He says sighing."Out? With?" I ask."Like a date." He says and my heart feels like it has been stepped on suddenly, I knew he dates but I didn't think it will feel this way knowing he might be sleeping with someone tonight."Okay, I'll just go out with some friends from work." I say."Cool, I'll see you later." Mason says after a pause."Sure." I start to say but he has already en
Mason's POV Alexis didn't come up for breakfast like she usually does every weekend so instead I pack up a plate for her and take it downstairs. I just hope I didn't make things super weird because of the conversation last night.Her apartment door is open. Well ajar, it's closed but also unlocked. I take note to talk to her about closing her door all the time. It's a safe neighbourhood and there's also security in the building but you can never be too safe.Her bedroom door is open, but I knock anyway. "Come in," she says, and when I open the door all the way, I'm not ready to take this test. No fucking way can I pass it."Did you need a towel to go with the dishtowel you're using?" I ask, because humor production is the only way I can deal with the fact that she has the world's tiniest towel clinched around her tits."Oh," she says, glancing down as she tugs upward on the material. "Hilda forgot to put the towels in the bathroom. The only towel left was this one. I think it might b
