Alex's POV My week has been busy, I'm spending crazy hours at the lab. So I haven't seen much of Mason.I get a call from the front desk at work telling me I have a visitor, it's Mason so I ask someone to send him up to my lab."What are you doing here?" I ask giving him a hug immediately I see him, at this point me hugging him is a reflex thing."Wow!" He exclaims clutching his chest. "So you're not happy to see your best friend?" He adds shaking his head.I laugh at that as I walk him into my lab."Ofcourse I'm happy to see you, but you're always busy by this time of the day so I have to wonder." I say raising my eyebrows questionably at him."Took off work, my dad has been driving me crazy. He is retired but he keeps on calling and trying to micro manage me, today he called in a conference with the marketing team just to give his own ideas. I needed to get out of there." Mason explains frustratedly."He just needs time to get used to retirement." I say feeling a little bad for him

Alex POV I don't see or hear from Mason during the whole weekend and I also didn't look for him.But that didn't stop me from thinking about him or thinking about the way he made me feel.I'm still in shock of what we did. Like did he actually touch me??It was finally Monday, after work I found dinner in my apartment. Mason has made dinner and dropped me a plate before I was back from work.After eating I contemplated on whether to go upstairs and see him before finally deciding I should do it. We're friends and we shouldn't let one sexual encounter ruin that for us, if he doesn't want me I'm willing to accept it because the thought of not talking to him or seeing him everyday drives me insane.I go up to his penthouse but this time I don't use my key, I wait for him to let me in."Hey." I say immediately he opens the door and let's me in.He smiles softly as he watches me pace around nervously. "You okay?"I nod. "Yes. Probably a bit nervous." I admit with a shrug."Alexis, it's me

I feel like our whole dynamic is now changed.He's coming back today and it's his birthday so we're all going out for drinks, with his friends.I arrive at the bar before him, which made feel a little less anxious. Why am I even anxious? I mean everything is totally fine between us, we agreed that it's just sex no strings attached."Alexis, you're here." Nick's girlfriend Beth says giving me a hug, I like her she's nice. "Where's Mason?" She asks noticing I'm not with him."He said to meet him here."

Alex's POV "Okay something is different between you two," Nick says to both Mason and I as he watches us sternly.Nick, Mason and I are hanging out in Mason's penthouse."What do you mean?" Mason asks feigning innocence. Things have been super nice and sometimes a little awkward since we started sleeping together."I don't know but something is different." Nick says again."Don't know what you mean but nothing is different." Mason says to Nick."If you say so." Nick says with a nod not looking convinced."So Alexis what's up with you and Luke?" Nick asks turning to me."Are you going out with him again?" He adds asking."No she's not." Mason answers and we all turn to him."I mean she doesn't have time for dating right now."

I was seated at the dinning table with him when Mason walked in."Sleep well, Mason?" he asked as Mason took a seat at the table.I thought he was going to flush with embarrassment, but instead, he regarded my dad with a shake of his head."A little jet lag." Mason says.Then Mason's dad joins us and my dad keeps quiet not mentioning anything, he doesn't even mention it to my mom or talk to me about it which makes me super grateful.After breakfast my dad asks Mason to help him with the Christmas lights on the balcony and I panic at the thought of them being alone.
