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
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
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
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
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
P.O.V PaigeA few days have passed, Mason is back to acting the same way he did before what happened at Sarah and Ethan's house. It's like nothing happened. At first it was hard for me to understand why, but later I understood that he regretted what he did and that it's better to function as if nothing happened. Like him I went back to my cool attitude and my comments that we are and will be friends.The trip is getting closer and closer, and I am feeling anxious. I have even looked at the weather in those countries we will be visiting to know what kind of clothes to wear. I even have an alarm to start organizing my suitcase days in advance, yes as you read DAYS.Emily on the other hand, insists that I buy new clothes for the trip to surprise Mason with a new style. I refuse to do anything like that, there's no point in changing."Dear, it's not for Mason, it's because you might meet a man during this trip. You never know what might happen. You'll be away for a long time, visiting man
P.O.V Mason:While I'm at work, focused on my tasks, I receive a call from the house manager."Mr. Mason, Miss Paige has been in the bathroom of her room for several hours, and I tried speaking to her from the door, but I didn't get a response," she says, sounding distressed."How many hours has it been?" I ask, paying attention to what she's saying."About two and a little more," she replies nervously."Alright, I'm on my way there," I end the call, feeling worried and confused.As I make my way home, I call my mother and ask her if everything went well when they met, as they spent the whole morning together."We talked about what we'll be doing these days before the trip. We coordinated the day and time to start doing everything we need to do, and everything went fine, son. Is everything alright?" she asks, concerned."Yes, Mom, everything's fine. I'll call you later, I'm driving right now," I reply, feeling nervous."Alright, take care, love you," she says, ending the call after I
Two weeks later... Narrated by Paige:It has been two crazy and hectic weeks, going back and forth thanks to Emily. If she takes me shopping for one more day, I swear I'll end up in a psychiatric hospital. It's incredible how much she had planned, and I'm not really a fan of this kind of thing.We have one day left before we leave, and the funny thing is that Emily told Mason she would sleep at his place tonight because we won't see each other for a long time. Simba is staying with her too. So, we'll leave this house and head straight to the airport. Also, it's strange that I saved the salon appointment for today but not the waxing and everything else. Today, after breakfast, we're going to the hair salon that my mother-in-law booked for me. We arrive at a large and beautiful place.Everyone who works here is attractive, as they say. A lady greets Emily and then me, calling over a guy dressed in a fuchsia shirt with a tiger-patterned scarf."Hello, beautiful," he says, smiling at Emil
