P.O.V PaigeThe next day I wake up and when I go downstairs, I realize Mason is not home. I don't call or text him. I just eat my breakfast as if nothing is going on.Emily tells me to go get my bags that in a few minutes we have to leave. Before I go upstairs, I go to the yard to get my baby, I see him playing with my father-in-law and I smile at how happy he is.When he sees me, he comes running to me and I let him lick me. I am going to miss him a lot, there is no doubt about that. I go upstairs to get my things with mixed feelings, I don't want to leave him alone for so long. Does it make me feel bad to do so? Is it possible that mothers feel the same way when they leave their children alone for work or trips, like mine?I go downstairs again with my bags, my insurance puts them in the car and says goodbye right away, since he will stay with Simba, so he won't miss our absence.I hug him and thank him for everything he does for my baby. On the way to the airport Emily gives me adv
P.O.V MasonI sleep with a smile on my face, I feel happy, even though she hasn't given me the answer of what she decided. I am hopeful that she will agree to try a relationship.I wake up alone in bed and call her, I get no answer. I panic and quickly get up to see where she is. I don't think she left.She wouldn't do something like that.I go out to the living room and she's not there; I go to her room and she's not there either. However, her clothes are all in place. That reassures me, maybe she went for a walk and thought about what I told her last night.I go back to my bed, only I can't go back to sleep. I stare at the ceiling of the room, until a message on my cell phone brings me out of my thoughts.It's from Peyton and it makes me feel the worst. The day before I ask Paige to try it, I send one to Peyton saying how much I miss her, I'm the worst man that can exist."I miss you too, kisses."I stare at my phone, unsure of how to respond. I simply leave it on "read." I don't ha
Mason narrates:Calling Peyton, I feel like she took it too well, I told her I was confused about my feelings, that I would like to have some time. To take advantage of the trip to clarify how I felt about her, and her response was "Sure love, I understand.- Sure love, I understand, would you like to talk to me when you get back?When I heard that I was a little surprised, I expected some kind of complaint from her, especially when we were together before I came. That she would feel used or something like that. In my mind I prepared many explanations, which I didn't have to give.Now I find myself preparing the date, I want everything to be perfect for both of us, a special night.On the other hand, I have been thinking about what will happen between us, I don't want this to be something sexual. I want to go slow with her, make her fall in love and then maybe just maybe we can be together when we get back to reality. I have been thinking so much that I feel like I am with Peyton out
Two weeks later... Paige narrates:We've been together for two weeks, in which we've only kissed and hugged. Tonight, we are invited to a party. From a couple we met on one of the tours of this city.We are currently in Brazil, the place is fantastic, the weather hot and the girl is a lot of fun.Now we are at the hotel, I arranged to meet her to go shopping for a suitable dress for the party and Mason preferred to stay in the hotel room.Tabatha helps me to get a sexy and beautiful dress and I let her help me and I make the one she tells me to. I go back to the hotel room and find Mason asleep. I go in quietly and go to my room to take a bath, the heat in here makes me hesitate too much.When I finish, I get dressed and put on my makeup, tonight I want to look sexy and beautiful.When I'm ready, I step out and find Mason waiting for me. When he sees me, he says,"You're making it really difficult for me to go slow," he sighs and looks at me like a wolf eyeing a piglet."Maybe tonight
Mason narrates:We've been on the road for a month now, admittedly these days have been perfect. I haven't thought about anything other than what's going to happen to the relationship we're forming with Paige.We are still having breakfast in Paris; we have not moved from here at Paige's request. I'm happy to oblige her wishes, all her wishes.I have made a decision about what will happen when we leave home, which is that I love her, and I want to be with her. I will talk to Peyton when I return and explain to her that even though I feel indebted to her for all the time she has had to wait I cannot be.with her without loving her. With how well she took the news of the time she needed I think she has also been in doubt about how she felt about me.I am determined to continue with Paige to be happy with her, it is the best I can do. I can't live a charade with Peyton, I will only make us both suffer. Me because I don't love her and her because she will be with someone who doesn't love
P.O.V Mason:I'm in shock, how is she pregnant? I mean, I know how she got pregnant, but she was taking precautions. That's what doesn't add up."I'm really sorry," she says, distressed."Don't apologize, I don't know what to say. I mean, this news really caught me off guard," I nervously comment."I know and I understand. That's why I'm telling you that it's not necessary for you to stay by our side. You're in love with another woman, and you won't see me again in your life," she responds, crying.I can't bear to see her cry. I don't want to be separated from my child's life. I've always wanted to be a father. On the other hand, my mother will go crazy when she finds out, and my father will tell me that I have to take responsibility for my actions and take care of Peyton and the baby. I can imagine what lies ahead."You don't have to leave. I want to be in the baby's life if you'll allow me. Of course," I nervously say."I truly prefer to distance myself from you than to see you with
Mason narrates:I finish work and I'm surprised I haven't heard from Paige; we were supposed to have lunch together. However, at the last minute she told me she couldn't make it because of an appointment she had forgotten about.I notice her voice is strange, I have a feeling that something is not right with her.I hurry to leave work to go home, I hope to meet her there and see her. I miss her, even though it's only been hours without seeing her. After a month of being together 24 hours a day, I feel that I miss her presence by my side.I am completely in love with Paige, I have no doubt about it. In thinking a lot about the whole Peyton and pregnancy thing, I think I have made the right decision on that subject.I will talk to Paige, although I don't know how she will take the news I can't keep hiding this. Regardless of what Peyton decides, it's something I can't hide forever. Somehow, she will find out and I'd rather it be from me than from third parties.On the way home she bough
Narrated by Paige:Upon receiving Mason's call, I suspected that he wouldn't be coming home to sleep. He already has a family with Peyton, and he didn't even have the courage to face me and tell me everything as he should.Sarah came with me to my house. We couldn't continue talking at her office; it was dangerous because of Ethan. She has a hard time accepting that Mason will be a father with Peyton. She didn't take the news well."What do you plan to do when he looks for you tomorrow?" she asks me, and I shrug, confused."I don't know. I feel confused, hurt, and angry with him. I feel awful," I say, resting my head on her shoulder."I still can't believe it. How can he not come home? I swear, if I were you, I'd kick him out onto the street. He broke the contract. I mean, he's my friend, and I care about him. However, I can't stand his lack of respect towards you. Why start something with you when on the day they left, he went to see her and was with her? She's one month pregnant, al
