Alex's POV When I come downstairs the next morning I find everyone already up eating breakfast in the kitchen."Good morning." I say walking in."Morning," they say in unison."Glinda made breakfast," Luke says referring to his house keeper."Want some?" he adds with a smile."Yes please." I say sitting down a stool right by the kitchen counter.He serves me a plate and pours me a cup of coffee."You slept well huh?" Luke asks giving me a devilish smile."Uhnmm yeah." I say looking at him weirdly."Ofcourse you did." He adds again with a smirk.Okay maybe he did see Mason and I last night.I quickly get up carrying my plate and I go sit down beside Mason who is looking at something on his iPad."Hey, so I saw Luke outside his room when I went back upstairs last night." I say quietly to him so he can only hear me."Yeah?" He asks his eyes still on his iPad."Yeah, I think he saw us last night." I add."Yeah he saw us." Mason says looking up from his iPad."What? Really?" I ask panicki

Alexis's POVMason and I are going home for Christmas, we're having a joint Christmas with his parents and my parents in my mother's villa in Napa Valley.We have been super busy over the past few weeks, I'll be completing my stem cells research by January and Mason has been traveling for work so we have barely seen each other. We haven't even had sex in a while, the last time was when we got back from our weekend in the Hamptons few weeks ago and now we're going to be spending time with our parents which technically means there won't be any sex.I had just finished getting ready when Mason showed up at my apartment."Ready?" He asks, we're taking a plane to Napa."Yes," I said, stepping back through the door long enough to grab my bag.He took it and kissed my cheek, smiling widely at me and that's how I how he missed me too when he smiles like that.We hadn't really talked about what would happen once we arrived. Our families knew we'd been hanging out it had been their idea, after

I wish my dad would have pretended what he saw never happened. 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. I watch them from inside the glass windows, my dad talks first then Mason talks and finally Mason stepped over to my father and shook his hand, saying something that only my father could hear. I tried to read my father's expression, but he kept a tight lid on it. My father is almost as good at hiding his thoughts as Mason is.I really want to know what Mason sai

Is it too booby?" I ask Angie who is doing her makeup on the vanity mirror in my closet."Damn girl, you look amazing. And no it's not too booby, your boobs are amazing so show them off." Angie says with a smirk."Yeah but__" I start to say and she cuts me off."Alexis honey, you look amazing! If I had boobs like yours I'll try to show them off too."

The rest of the party is a blur, I spend almost every second obsessing about what's going on between us. Angie and I leave the party together and I spend the whole ride home thinking about Mason.The elevator opened on my floor and I froze. Down the hall, standing by the door to my apartment, was Mason.He had a key but for some reason he was waiting outside my door for me.For the smallest fraction of a second, less time than it took to inhale a full breath of air, I got excited.He was standing at my door, and that was everything.With a solemn expression and my eyes forward, I strutted toward my apartment. I opened the door and stepped inside when it opened, he followed me in without a word he looked composed and put together like he always did, but there was something different in his eyes something I'm not quite sure what it is."I shouldn't have done that." Mason says as he watched me remove my shoes by the door."Done what?" I ask knowing completely he was regretting kissing m

"God, I wish I was you right now." Angie says joining me in my lab.I smile looking at her, silently wishing I wasn't myself right now."Why aren't you as excited as I am for you?" She asks sitting down."I'm excited." I say lying."No you're not. Alexis you should be proud of yourself, your billion dollar stem cell research works!" Angie says. Technically the 3 stages of the trial has worked so far, we have a success rate of 98%. Well nothing is a complete 100% in science but that’s beside the point, the research I’ve slaved away doing all my adult life works and I should be happy, excited and celebrating but other things have been on my mind."Oh my God, you're going to be a billionaire!" She exclaims jumping up.I just smile watching Angie, because honestly I wasn't thinking about that right now but only what comes after in my life."Alexis what's wrong?" Angie asks noticing I'm in an another dimension in my head."Have you told Mason?" She asks again."I'm telling him tonight, abo
