Alexis's POV When I broke up with Tommy I thought that was the worst heartbreak I'd ever go through but knowing what I feel right now I know I was wrong.Tommy was my first ever boyfriend, I was only 15 years old when we broke up because his family were moving to Texas. I have had other boyfriends after Tommy ofcourse but it still never felt like how I felt for Tommy. He was perfect and I thought I loved him but having this feeling right now about Mason I know for sure it wasn't love what I had for Tommy, it was a crush or infatuation.Because what I feel for Mason is what I assume you call love, I love him so much it hurts. I can't sleep, eat, breathe or do anything without thinking about him. But most of all I do know for a fact that this is the worst heartbreak I've ever had.I keep replaying everything that happened between us in my head, the worst break up I've ever had but I can't even call it a break up because we were never actually in a relationship.I thought he felt somet
Alexis's POV I had to to be at lunch with Phoebe and Luke, 10 minutes ago but I was deliberately wasting time. I stand outside the restaurant thinking of maybe canceling but then Luke might think it's because of him.Yeah ofcourse it's because of him, I had sex with him and now I don't know how act around him.When I enter the restaurant I find Luke already there but alone without Phoebe."Hi." I say and he gets up pulling out a chair for me."Hi." He says with a smile and he also looks nervous."Where's Phoebe?" I ask trying to sound casual."The bathroom." He says and I internally sigh with relief she's here."So how's your day going?" He asks breaking the awkward silence."It's going fine, spent my morning analyzing data at the lab so pretty good." I say and he smiles."What about you?" I ask."Had some meetings but done for the day." He says at the same time Phoebe joins us."Hey new fave bestie." She says sitting beside me."Hey." I say with a smile."You didn't order?" She asks
Alexis's POV Phoebe and I arrived at Palm Springs late last night and we crashed immediately sleeping in so as not to be jet lagged tomorrow. The next morning when I wake, my parents overnight guests were already here. I stop by Phoebe's room downstairs to see if she's up but she's not in her room. I find her at the terrace having breakfast with my parents. "Honey." My dad says getting up to hug me, he's so sweet. "Morning dad." "You're up." Phoebe says with a smile. "Yes and you're up early." I say to her surprised because usually sleeps in. "Don't know how but I woke up early today, maybe it's the springs and scenery." Phoebe says. "Definitely that," I say sitting down and my mom serving me breakfast. "I see your guests are already arriving." I say looking over the terrace balcony. "Yes and that reminds me, let's go welcome them." My mom says to my dad. "You two kids have fun, we'll see you later." My mom adds. "So what are we doing today?" Phoebe asks excitedly. "I wa
Alexis's POV Down the hall, standing by the door to my bedroom, was Mason. For the smallest fraction of a second, less time than it took to inhale a full breath of air, I got excited. I didn't care if he was there to tell me why Luke wasn't the perfect guy for me or lecture me about Luke. He was standing at my door, and that was everything. But then I remembered that I was mad at him, and the thrill faded. Mason has been but an emotional roller coaster for me. With a solemn expression and my eyes forward, I strutted toward my bedroom. Even as I refused to look at him, though, I saw him. On the surface, he looked composed and put together like he always did, but there was something today, he looks frazzled today. "That didn't take long," Mason said when I stopped at my door. So he thought I'd slipped away to sleep with Luke. I stepped into my room and he followed me in. He closed the door with his foot and trailed behind me. "Are you going to tell me anything?" he asked while
Alexis’s POV I woke up alone in bed, I check the time on my bedside clock and it said 11:am. Which meant I had to get up before my mom comes looking for me, with all the guests around she probably wouldn't notice I wasn't there but still.Turning over, I see Mason sitting on the corner chair facing my bed.I wasn't alone after all.Mason sat in the chair in the corner of my room, his elbow propped on the armrest, watching me.The events of last night come crashing down on me, his revelations. He told me he loved me and wanted us to be together, all that right now seems so unreal.He was dressed up, he must have gone to his room took a shower, changed and came back."You're dressed, waiting to say goodbye?" I asked looking at him.He smiled lazily. "I don't know what you mean. I'm just watching you sleep.""Why?" I asked my eyes still on him.His face was in the shadows, but I could feel his expression sober even if I couldn't see it. "Because I can't not look at you." He says.My in
Thank God when I go back to Phoebe's apartment, she isn't home. I really needed to be alone, coming here was a complete mistake.I'm surfing through flights back to Switzerland when Angie calls my phone, I had told I was in New York so definitely she wanted to hang out before I left but honestly right now all I want is to be alone."Hey," I answer her call on the 2nd ring."Okay so Alexis I'm sorry, I know you said I shouldn't tell anyone you were in New York but I slipped off and told Beth and now she has this surprise dinner planned for you." Angie rants immediately I answer."Right now?" I ask."Yeah and I'm downstairs at the apartment you told me you were at, can please you let me up." She says.I let her up and she manages to convince me to get ready and go with her.We reach the restaurant where we're having dinner, with Beth and who knows who's going to be there. Probably Mason, and Beth's boyfriend Nick and maybe Luke.And obviously I was right, the whole friend group were the
Alexis's POV The whole universe is working against me leaving New York. I was supposed to leave 2 days ago but guess what all flights in and out of New York were grounded due to a huge storm.I'm with Phoebe and Luke in Phoebe's apartment hanging out. "I can't wait to leave!" Phoebe exclaims smacking Luke's arm as he takes a fry off her plate."Yeah right, so you can go back to your boring life." Luke says and she smacks him again. They fight every single day but they are also each other's favorite, I don't have any siblings so it's so good to witness.My phone rings and we all look at it to see it's Mason calling."Again?" Phoebe asks. "This is the 5th time he has called today." She adds and I nod yes.I don't answer it and he calls back almost immediately."Alexis please answer your lover boy." Phoebe says sighing and I glare at her. Luke just sits there quietly watching me.I excuse myself to the guest bedroom where I'm currently staying."Hey." I say answering his call."Finally
Alexis's POV I text Mason that I'm outside and like clockwork he joins me.I felt it the moment he walked outside his apartment building. Warmth flooded my body, the hairs on the back of my neck tingled, and sure enough, I turned to see him standing with the door man his eyes looking across the street to where I was standing. His hot gaze zeroing in on me as my pulse sped up, I smiled and gave a little wave, then gestured for him to cross over.He didn't smile back, just swept those beautiful beautiful eyes over my body, a slow and deliberate up-and-down that heated my cheeks. My clothes was by no means indecent blue jeans and a tank top and ofcourse a coat over it. But the way he looked at me, I might as well have been naked with a big bow tied around me.I swallowed, scowling when I glimpsed the amused gleam in his eyes. He knew how easily he got to me. Knew what he did to me with one sultry look.As he wandered over and crossed over the street to me, my gaze stayed glued on him.W
