Chapter 51: Procedures
P.O.V Paige:I've been dealing with paperwork with my father regarding the company, and this matter has me both excited and exhausted at the same time. It happens when I don't have a lawyer or notary around to handle any business matters or procedures that need to be done.Mason decided to postpone the trip for this reason, and I appreciate it, but all I want now is to go and rest, even if it's just for a few days. I'm constantly going back and forth, and when I'm not doing that, Mason briefs me on what I need to know to manage the family business.It's not that it's difficult, it's just that there's a lot of information I have to handle. I want to be well-prepared to do it right. According to Mason, I'll do wonderfully, but I'm too much of a perfectionist when it comes to work matters.Mason invited me to dinner tonight, saying he has a surprise prepared for me. It has kept me anxious all day long.Finally, it's time to go home, which makes me happy because I've been exhausted with a
Chapter 52: A Romantic Dinner, Without Being Romantic
P.O.V MasonWhen Peyton commented to me that it was nothing delicate that I had, just a virus for which I had to rest for a few days I felt that she was hiding something from me. It made me uneasy. That's why I acted like that when Paige arrived. Then when I saw her ready in such a short time, I was amazed at how beautiful she looked with just lipstick.I was nervous that she wouldn't like what I prepared and told her so, when she replied that she had no reason to be, it was like she had brought me out of the bubble I was in by reminding me that we are not a real couple. And me setting up a romantic dinner, how idiotic of me.Good thing that got on my nerves. I ordered his favorite restaurant for us and no one else.I must admit that every day I see something new in her, like now I see her enjoying the food with so much pleasure that I couldn't help but enjoy this image in front of me, I won't deny that I imagined her enjoying it differently and wonder if it would be the same as now o
Chapter 53: Peyton and her thoughts
P.O.V PeytonAfter that wonderful doctor's appointment, I solved the problem I was having. I made up to Mason that I had a virus, it's the perfect excuse. He doesn't come to see me because he might catch it and it's perfect for me to recover from what happened.The bad thing is that my friend to accompany Mason and his wife to dinner has not been able to fulfill what he asked me, he has been a little sick and I have not been feeling well enough to go to see him.We talk by messages and calls, he is very tender and affectionate, as well as concerned about my wellbeing. That is what I love the most about him.He gives me money without asking for it and gifts, fashion things, new collections in handbags, because he knows I love them. I like that he is attentive to what I like without saying it, only once I told him that I was a fan of having many bags and that's enough to buy several a month. Every time a new one comes out; he is the first to give it to me without asking.Mason is just a
Chapter 54: Paige
P.O.V Mason:After dinner, as we're about to leave, I tell her about the "surprise" I had for her. I didn't know how she would react."In a month, we're going on a trip. I have everything organized. Your university degree is already in process, so you'll have it before we leave," I say nervously."Really?" she asks, excited."Yes, everything is ready. We'll be visiting many places, and it might take more than a month. I've also taken care of the person who will be in charge of your company and mine. They'll keep us informed about everything at all times. I haven't overlooked anything," I inform her, smiling."Where are we going?" she asks."Where we won't be going is better to ask, my wife," I reply, laughing.I love seeing how her eyes light up with what I said. It's clear that the idea makes her happy, and if she's happy, I am too."You can't just tell me that. You have to tell me where we're going. I won't be able to live like this," she pleads."We'll start with Central America, t
Chapter 55: The "Surprise"
P.O.V EmilyThese past few months I must admit that I have been keeping an eye on my son's relationship with Paige. About the dinner I made some time ago it was all planned, when I want to, I can be very good at research. That woman Peyton, lives in the same building as the friend and my husband. Luckily for me I was friends with his wife, a few questions here and there and that was it, I had what I wanted.He told me that this woman is engaged, he doesn't know to whom, but he is interested in her. He hasn't told me that they are anything more than friends, but I don't think that his interest is just for friendship.When I saw her arrive at the dinner on his arm, I knew it was a good idea, although I expected Mason to ask about her and her relationship with him. He didn't. I don't think he's even in love with her. He's just dazzled by what she tells him she is, not who she really is. I am not dumb enough to know that he is only interested in my son's money.That is why I have sought t
Chapter 56: Misunderstanding
Narrated by Paige:After dropping off Emily at her house, I head straight to mine, or at least that was the initial plan. Halfway there, Sarah calls me. I answer on speakerphone, and she says,- "Where are you?" - she asks somewhat sternly.- "Hi, I'm fine, thanks for asking," I say ironically.- "I'm not joking, is Mason with you?" - she asks urgently.- "Uh, no, actually, I was with Emily, and I don't know where he might be," I reply honestly and a little concerned.- "Can you call him and see if he's with Mason?" - she asks nervously.- "Sure, I'll call him. Is something wrong?" - I ask, worried about her emotional state.- "I'll tell you what's happening when I know where my husband is, not before," she says, ending the call, which worries me even more.I dial Mason's number. I'm not the type to call him; in fact, I never do, but now it's necessary.He answers before it even rings four times.- "Paige, are you okay?" - he asks seriously.- "Yes, I'm fine. I just wanted to know if
Chapter 57: Strange Night
P.O.V Paige:I find Mason sitting on the bed, looking at me as I enter the room. When he sees me, he pats the space next to him, as if telling me to sit there."Come lie down," he says, smiling."How much did you drink?" I ask as I put my bag on a chair."Not that much," he replies."Then why didn't we go home?" I insist."Don't be like that, don't get mad. I just wanted to sleep here," he says like a little punished child.I roll my eyes and sigh."I don't know what you think you're doing with this but get on your side of the bed and sleep," I say as I turn around to see what I'm going to sleep with.The door to the room makes a sound, and I open it. It's my friend bringing me pajamas."Thanks, friend," I say, taking the pajamas she hands me."You can thank me tomorrow," she says winking.I don't understand what she means, but when I enter the bathroom to change, I understand everything. The pajamas she brought me are very small and short, leaving nothing to the imagination.Damn it
Chapter 58: Tension
P.O.V MasonWhen we get to Ethan's house, Ethan tells me to just play along when we get inside and that's what I do.Admittedly, I was a little drunk, but not too drunk. I'm aware of everything I did, or rather, I tried to kiss her, and she wouldn't let me. I regret that, to even think of listening to my friend with his ideas. Even though inside I'm dying to taste her lips, I imagine they are soft and warm.Well, at least he didn't get upset with me and it won't change our relationship. That's what matters most to me. When I woke up and saw her asleep my heart skipped a beat. She is beautiful and relaxed. I kiss her forehead without being able to help it, not knowing that she would wake up with the touch of my lips.After seeing her walk to the bathroom in those pajamas that made her look so sexy, I couldn't get up right away. You will understand why without having to say it.I think of other things and calm down just as she comes out of the bathroom. I take a quick shower and when I
