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
Alexis's POV I have been back in Geneva Switzerland for 3 weeks now almost a whole month. Almost a whole month of a long distance relationship with Mason, it's harder than I thought it would be. I miss him like crazy even though we literally talk on the phone every day, sometimes we FaceTime but it's still not enough. And also a whole ass month without sex, without sex with Mason. I think about Mason so much that I think I might be going insane.He's coming to visit soon though, he was supposed to come visit me 2 weeks ago but as usual the universe is in our way and he couldn't come due to work. So we agreed that he would come visit after a month.I'm in my lab working, when my phone rings. I check to see it's Mason calling, there's a huge time difference between here and New York so it's also a little hard to find the perfect time to talk.Another thing f*ucking up our relationship."Baby." Mason says immediately I answer and I smile my heart constricting at the sound of his perfec
Alexis's POV I wake up to the sound of my apartment alarm buzzing, there's someone at my front door. I check the time to see it's only 4:am in the morning. Who the hell could it be? I don't know anyone here in Geneva and Phoebe has a key so it can't possibly be her plus we're kind of in a weird space right now.Maybe someone from work? I leave my bedroom to go check. I stand on my tip-toes and look out the little door peephole. Holy. Shit.It's Mason. Mason is here.Quickly, I unlock the door, not able to open it fast enough. He rushes in and has me in his arms so fast I almost fall on my ass."Mason. What are you doing here?" I can't believe he's really here. I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him tighter than I ever have. God, he feels so good.I missed him so fucking much.He pulls away slightly and holds my face in his hands. "I couldn't make it a whole month." He kisses my lips, softly at first, then deeper with an urgency I've never felt from him.I try to catch my breath,
