Alex's POV My week has been busy, I'm spending crazy hours at the lab. So I haven't seen much of Mason.I get a call from the front desk at work telling me I have a visitor, it's Mason so I ask someone to send him up to my lab."What are you doing here?" I ask giving him a hug immediately I see him, at this point me hugging him is a reflex thing."Wow!" He exclaims clutching his chest. "So you're not happy to see your best friend?" He adds shaking his head.I laugh at that as I walk him into my lab."Ofcourse I'm happy to see you, but you're always busy by this time of the day so I have to wonder." I say raising my eyebrows questionably at him."Took off work, my dad has been driving me crazy. He is retired but he keeps on calling and trying to micro manage me, today he called in a conference with the marketing team just to give his own ideas. I needed to get out of there." Mason explains frustratedly."He just needs time to get used to retirement." I say feeling a little bad for him

Alex POV I don't see or hear from Mason during the whole weekend and I also didn't look for him.But that didn't stop me from thinking about him or thinking about the way he made me feel.I'm still in shock of what we did. Like did he actually touch me??It was finally Monday, after work I found dinner in my apartment. Mason has made dinner and dropped me a plate before I was back from work.After eating I contemplated on whether to go upstairs and see him before finally deciding I should do it. We're friends and we shouldn't let one sexual encounter ruin that for us, if he doesn't want me I'm willing to accept it because the thought of not talking to him or seeing him everyday drives me insane.I go up to his penthouse but this time I don't use my key, I wait for him to let me in."Hey." I say immediately he opens the door and let's me in.He smiles softly as he watches me pace around nervously. "You okay?"I nod. "Yes. Probably a bit nervous." I admit with a shrug."Alexis, it's me
