I don't like you, Mason Mount

Chapter 4

"This isn't happening again."

"If you say so..."

"I do say so, yes. This was a mistake, and it won't happen again."

"It won't."

"I'm being serious, Mason."

"So am I."

"No, you are not. You are smiling, I can see your dimple."

"Ok, fine" he says, looking me in the eyes. "This won't happen again. It was just sex at the back of my car, and it meant nothing."

"Exactly" I say, opening the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Home?"

"I was supposed to drive you, remember?"

"Yeah, and look what happened" I say, stepping out. How did we manage to go from having a very pleasant dinner, to doing this on his car instead of going home, is something I still can't understand. But it won't happen again. It just won't.

"But we've both agreed that it's been a one time thing, we should be fine" he says, also getting out of the car.

"We should."

"Tempted you may throw yourself at me again?" he asks with a smile.

"I didn't throw myself at you."

"I beg to differ."

"Whatever" I say, crossing my arms over my chest.

"C'mon, Daniela. It's late and I don't want you walking alone."

"I'll be ok."

"You don't know that. C'mon" Mason insists.

"Fine. But no talking."

"What?"

"I don't want to hear a word from you until we make it home" I say getting into the car.

"What about some music?" he asks, doing the same.

"You probably have the worst taste in music."

"Then the radio."

"But no singing."

"Neither of us."

"Neither of us" I repeat.

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

"No, no, no! Just one more, this is another classic!"

"Daniela, you've been saying the same about the last five songs" Mason laughs.

"I know, but they are playing such good songs right now!"

"I'm starting to think you don't want to leave my company" he says, leaning forward.

"And that's how you ruin the mood. Thank you, Mount" I say, rolling my eyes and opening the car's door.

"Wait, that's it? That's all you needed?"

"Yeah" I shrug.

"Am I at least getting a good night kiss?" he asks, following me.

"Hell no."

"An hour ago you weren't complaining about me kissing you."

"An hour ago I wasn't thinking straight. But I am now, so good night" I say, getting my keys from my bag. "Damn it."

"Here" Mason says, picking them from the floor and putting them on my hand, his fingers brushing my skin and making me feel things I should not be feeling. Not again, and not with him.

"Thank you" I whisper.

"You're welcome" he replies, his face suddenly too close to mine.

"Don't."

"Don't what?"

"Don't..." But before I can say anything else, my arms are around his neck, pulling him closer to me while I kiss him.

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

"Long night, uh?"

"Shut up" I say, pouring myself some coffee.

"So... Who was he?" Monica asks.

"What?"

"The guy you went out with last night. When you texted you said just a friend, but I know it was a guy. You have a lovebite" she chuckles, pointing at my neck.

"I do not" I say, my hand instantly moving to touch it.

"You do. But on the other side."

"Son of a bitch" I whisper after checking myself on my phone's camera.

"You were with a guy, I knew it!"

"Yeah, one who better not cross paths with me again or I'll kill him."

"Wait until dad sees it..."

"See what?" he says behind me, making me jump and spill my coffee.

"Nothing" I quickly say. "I'm going to take a shower. Bye."
