Lily:

I woke up the next morning and for one disoriented second, I thought maybe I’d dreamed it.

The fever, the party, Mason hovering like some overgrown bodyguard all of it.

But then I rolled over and my lips brushed the back of my hand, and I remembered. The kiss.

Oh God.

It hadn’t been an accident. I couldn’t even lie to myself about that. I’d grabbed him, I’d pulled him down.

And Mason had kissed me back like he’d been waiting for permission. Like he’d been starving for it.

Now I couldn’t get the taste of him out of my mouth.

I groaned and buried my face in the pillow. Maybe if I suffocated myself, my problems would disappear with me.

A knock rattled my door.

“Lily,” Mason’s voice came, deep and annoyingly calm. “Breakfast. Get up.”

I froze, staring at the ceiling. If I ignored him, maybe he’d go away.

The door creaked open anyway.

“Seriously?” I snapped, sitting up. “Ever heard of privacy?”

He leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, wearing that same damn hoodie from last nig

    Tabitha:“Ryan…you’re here..” Words escaped my mouth as I stared at him standing before me, with his hands tucked into his pockets. He looked the same, the same Ryan that tormented my life, the flashbacks made me stagger, but I managed to take it off my mind. But how was he here? How did he find me? He took a step closer to me before I could understand what was happening. “Tabby, it’s been a while, how’ve you been?” He asked in a calm tone. I stared at him, standing on my guard, holding the Audi keys tightly. “What are you doing here? How did you find me?” I snapped at him.Here he was standing in front of me, asking me how I’ve been if he didn’t traumatize me during the course of our relationship.“I came to see you, I missed you.” He said it rather casually which only irritated my nerves. “How the hell did you find me?” I asked again, staring at him, trying to figure out what the hell was happening. “Did you really think you’d be able to hide from me? I’ll always find you, Tab

    Lily:The table fell eerily silent after we returned. I had readjusted my chair towards the rear end of the table, wanting to keep as much distance as I could from him.And I knew this affected Taylor.The spaghetti in her plate squelched as she stabbed it a second time." So is no one going to explain to me how you both know each other? I can feel the shift in the air .." she stopped, turning to look at Chad who had just cleared his throat." You have something to say?"Chad shurgged, picking up his drink." Well no, I met her at a party I attended with my sister. She was a big sour because she lost the game to my team and she had gone into a verbal argument with one of the players from my team. I guess she is still pretty bummed out about it even though I already tried to apologize to her for it" Chad said.I was used to liars. Take my stupid boyfriend for example. But he was so good even I nearly believed it. So I was not surprised when Taylor turned to stare at me pouting." Oh pl

    Lily:Taylor wasn't lying when she spoke about coming. A small part of me had hoped it was mainly bluffing. Maybe she would realize that malibu wasn't all that after all for a vacation.But she hadn't. Her call was the first thing I saw that morning. She was about to board the plane.I was never good at hiding my feelings..I wore them on my face like a mask for the whole world to see and today, the whole world was mason." If you are so worried about her coming maybe she should stay at a hotel then?" He asked, his voice gentle and suggestive.I could tell this worried him as much as it worried me, but he sure did a good job at playing it cool." It's not that simple. Taylor knows my mom and she knows my mum would always let her stay here if she came around. I can't lie to her about that because Taylor is crazy, she might call mum and if she does..." I trailed off.Again, I reconsidered this decision of mine. I had come here to escape the complexities of my school life yet here I was,

    Lily: I woke up the next day and rolled to the side to hug Mason but the bed was empty. I frowned and then opened my eyes. Only a creased bed was beside me. I sat up and stretched, wondering where on earth he could have gone. The last thing I remembered was dinner and us falling asleep. I stood up and made my way to the bathroom, he wasn't there. I washed my face and sighed. There were a bunch of red marks on my neck and face. Hickeys. We hadn't had sex last night but Mason had made sure to mark me with hickeys. I found it cute but also embarrassing. I made my way downstairs and found breakfast on the table but no Mason. It was 9am but he wasn't here. I wondered for a second where he had gone. Maybe for his usual morning run but then I saw a note on the fridge. I picked it up. “Gone for a meeting, will be back soon my sweet. P.S; I made breakfast.” Mason. I smiled, blushing extra hard. He was such a sweet guy. It was almost unreal. Most guys like Mason were asshol

    Lily: The sound of footsteps came from the living room and I quickly wiped my face with a towel. I rushed out and found Mason. “Have you been crying?” was the first question he asked as soon as saw me. Shit! How did he even know that? “What? NO, I haven’t been crying.” I lied, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand. Were my eyes still swollen? I had made sure to wash it properly and dry my eyes. “Does it look like I have been crying?” I asked and he walked towards me, pulling me close. “Your eyes are red and swollen and you look pale like you’ve seen a ghost.” Not a ghost but Chad was definitely worse than one. “Oh, I was trying to clean and accidentally sprayed my eyes.” “Why were you trying to clean? The house keeper comes here every Tuesday and Thursday.” “I know. I just didn’t have anything to do all day, plus I missed you.” I said, kissing his cheek. It was my way of distracting him.” He grabbed my waist and kissed my lips. I chuckled. “How was your meeting?” I aske
