Alexis's POV I took 5 days off work. Mason and I are going Rome today. One of the most romantic cities ever, I'm beyond excited. I had spent the week, since Mason went back to New York, planning shopping for the trip. I'm not someone who has had alot of experiences with boyfriends, never even traveled out of the country with a guy so maybe I'm a little over excited. My bags are packed, I'm meeting Mason at the airport. He's coming from New York, meeting me here so we can leave together. The whole plane ride to Italy, Rome wasn't anything particular. Mason mostly worked on his laptop while I wrote and balanced equations of test results of my research. Immediately we arrived a car was waiting for us at the airport, which immediately took us to this very luxurious hotel. Our room was beautiful. It has a vibe of royalty with a splash of rich architecture. It had a huge living room, a dining room and don't even get me started on the bedroom and bathroom. "Wow." I whispered looking

Alexis's POV I can't stay here. I couldn't. I grab my phone and handbag heading for the elevator, before it opens I quickly head down the stairs instead of waiting for it.I couldn't see Mason right now, I didn't want to cry because that's what would happen if I saw him.Once I reach the ground floor of the hotel, I ask the reception to get me a car while I google hotels in Rome."The car is here for you Madame," the receptionist says in a thick Italian accent."Thank you." I say heading out.As I get into the car, I see Mason running out to me. "Alexis!" He calls out my name but I close the car door quickly and ask the driver to please go."dove stai andando signora" the driver says in Italian. He was asking where I wanted to go to.Being a nerd, I actually know a little Italian though I'm rusty."Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel." I read out for him from the trip advisor page I googled."Sì signora." He says as he drives.My head is spinning, I have so many thoughts going t

Alexis's POV "I'm a very jealous person Mason, especially when it comes to you. If there's anything you want me to know, tell me now because I can't stand the thought of you being with another woman." I say after a bit. I was still in lap. He was still holding me but I needed to say this. I know I wasn't perfect, I had slept with his friend but I came clean about it. I don't want a relationship where we have things hidden from each other. "So please Mason, if you there's something I should know. Please tell me now." I added again. "Alexis you have nothing to worry about, I only ever want you." Mason. Says. "If things don't work out for us, I don't know if I can walk away when I need to," I confessed, the panic rising up in me. "We're past walking away, Alexis." A statement of fact, as if my fate were already sealed by his words. "I wasn't looking for you. But I still found you Alexis, there's no going back for us. You're mine as I am yours." With those words, I'm melting.

Alexis’s POV Dinner with Mason’s dad was anything other than I expected. Not that I expected it to go well, their relationship isn’t particularly a good relationship. But it was like being in an episode of succession, with Logan and Kendall being passive aggressive and I thought women were the passive aggressive ones no offense to us.One good thing though, Mason’s dad is happy that I’m now with his son. Which by the way Mason made it feel we’re just in a casual relationship, technically he said it to his father.I mean maybe he’s just like that with his father because of some unresolved issues between them, atleast that’s what I’m telling myself anyway because his words hurt.To be exact his words were.His father had said, “Alexis I’m glad you and my son are together can’t wait for you to officially part of the family.”“How about you don’t ruin something casual.” Mason had said to his father and his words hurt but I didn’t take it to heart, I told myself it’s not about me it’s abo

All she knows or heard is we’re in a relationship and I’m living with him.In her own words, “Alexis what’s this I hear about you and Mason dating? Please tell me this is false news?” That’s from voicemail one.Then she left another one, “Alexis call me back! and for me to find out from Mason’s mother??
