Out of Bounds Chapter 20
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

Alexis's POVI avoided Mason like the plague, after our fight at his place I went back to my apartment and parked a bag and headed back home to Palm Springs to my parents.I spent the next 2 weeks sulking at home, avoiding questions from my parents. And also avoiding Mason's calls and texts, but I'm finally going back to New York.

Mason's POV Alexis left a month ago and I feel absolutely shitty about everything. It's totally my fault, can't even pretend that it isn't. She told me she had feelings for me and I freaked out and didn't say the right thing even though I knew how I felt for her but it's over now. And by the way she hates me now, I didn't say goodbye before she left. I called and texted her since she left but she hasn't returned any of my calls or texts and that's fine because I know I hurt her but nothing feels thesame without her. "This guy has been pissy all month, so I figured drinking may cheer him up." Nick says to Luke who just joined us at a bar I was forcefully dragged to. "I'm not pissy." I was beyond pissy. "If you pout any more, we're going to have to take drastic measures." Nick says again. I didn't even bother responding. Instead, I held up my middle finger and focus on drinking maybe it would give me something to take my mind off of how badly I'd screwed up. Nick and Luke had bee
