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

Alex's POV Mason and I had sex for the first last week and I haven't seen him since then, he had to travel to Chicago for work. But we have been texting though, almost barely. I feel like our whole dynamic is now changed.He's coming back today and it's his birthday so we're all going out for drinks, with his friends.I arrive at the bar before him, which made feel a little less anxious. Why am I even anxious? I mean everything is totally fine between us, we agreed that it's just sex no strings attached."Alexis, you're here." Nick's girlfriend Beth says giving me a hug, I like her she's nice. "Where's Mason?" She asks noticing I'm not with him."He said to meet him here." I explain."Okay come, let's get you a drink."Minutes later I feel Mason's presence, and yes feel. I feel his eyes burning into the back of my head.I try to act natural and not give into the urge to look at him but obviously not. The second I give in to the overwhelming need to look at him, he glances my way, and

Alex's POV When I come downstairs the next morning I find everyone already up eating breakfast in the kitchen."Good morning." I say walking in."Morning," they say in unison."Glinda made breakfast," Luke says referring to his house keeper."Want some?" he adds with a smile."Yes please." I say sitting down a stool right by the kitchen counter.He serves me a plate and pours me a cup of coffee."You slept well huh?" Luke asks giving me a devilish smile."Uhnmm yeah." I say looking at him weirdly."Ofcourse you did." He adds again with a smirk.Okay maybe he did see Mason and I last night.I quickly get up carrying my plate and I go sit down beside Mason who is looking at something on his iPad."Hey, so I saw Luke outside his room when I went back upstairs last night." I say quietly to him so he can only hear me."Yeah?" He asks his eyes still on his iPad."Yeah, I think he saw us last night." I add."Yeah he saw us." Mason says looking up from his iPad."What? Really?" I ask panicki

I wish my dad would have pretended what he saw never happened. I was seated at the dinning table with him when Mason walked in."Sleep well, Mason?" he asked as Mason took a seat at the table.I thought he was going to flush with embarrassment, but instead, he regarded my dad with a shake of his head."A little jet lag." Mason says.Then Mason's dad joins us and my dad keeps quiet not mentioning anything, he doesn't even mention it to my mom or talk to me about it which makes me super grateful.After breakfast my dad asks Mason to help him with the Christmas lights on the balcony and I panic at the thought of them being alone. I watch them from inside the glass windows, my dad talks first then Mason talks and finally Mason stepped over to my father and shook his hand, saying something that only my father could hear. I tried to read my father's expression, but he kept a tight lid on it. My father is almost as good at hiding his thoughts as Mason is.I really want to know what Mason sai

The rest of the party is a blur, I spend almost every second obsessing about what's going on between us. Angie and I leave the party together and I spend the whole ride home thinking about Mason.The elevator opened on my floor and I froze. Down the hall, standing by the door to my apartment, was Mason.He had a key but for some reason he was waiting outside my door for me.For the smallest fraction of a second, less time than it took to inhale a full breath of air, I got excited.He was standing at my door, and that was everything.With a solemn expression and my eyes forward, I strutted toward my apartment. I opened the door and stepped inside when it opened, he followed me in without a word he looked composed and put together like he always did, but there was something different in his eyes something I'm not quite sure what it is."I shouldn't have done that." Mason says as he watched me remove my shoes by the door."Done what?" I ask knowing completely he was regretting kissing m
