Nope.

 Mercy had never meant to swing the door open as hard as she did and seeing the sight of two people standing there, her first reaction was to immediately apologize. “Oh, god! I am so sorry—” her words are cut off the second her light colored eyes meet his own. “Mason.. hi,” said softly, face being rendered with nothing but surprise; just as his had.

this was weird for mason. his daughter who was now much older hadnt even recognized mercy but wasnt going to be rude. “hello, im kelli.” she said politely introducing herself. mason placed his hand on her shoulder as if he was telling her to keep quiet for a moment. he just stood here for a moment before he could even speak. “what- what are you even doing here?” he asked knowing it sounded so rude.

  Amelia had just gotten off a late shift at the hospital and was swinging through to grab something to eat before heading home, also being her keurig was broken she needed coffee and a good one at that. Luckily around this time her  friend Mason would be getting off as well so after she ordered she just waited leaning against the booth not sure when he’d show up. However a voice she knew all too well caught her attention. Turning her head to the side she rolled her eyes while smirking, grabbing the coffee and sliding into the booth across from him. “Don’t tell me you use that to flirt.” she teased him sipping her drink. “Give me those cuffs so I can put you in solitary confinement for that cheesy line.”

mason had often enjoyed when he could catch the female and converse with her. she had always had a good personality to her and she certainly was nice to look at.. though mason wasnt shallow and only talked to people because of their looks.. however he couldt deny her beauty. when he made the comment and she turned around he gave her a small smile. “look i come from a different time.. flirting back in the day was much easier than it is now.” he pointed out. “but please tell me you will sit for a little at least? maybe you can fill me in on those pick up lines that are better than mine.”

 “It’s not that it wasn’t a good line to use. The uniform just naturally puts me at edge. Don’t get me wrong you look hot in it but one day you might actually give me a ticket. Probably one day soon, honestly.” Another short laugh left Sutton’s lips before she found herself playfully rolling her eyes. “Mason…you were supposed to hit on me. That was a prime opportunity to make some kind of subtle comment about how much of a snack I am and you missed it. You fuckin’ missed it.” Despite the confident manner in which Sutton spoke, she was only joking and the small smile on her face showed it. 

mason laughed, “yeah you would think that women like a man in uniform.. if there is anything i have learned it is the opposite.” he said with a laugh.  “no worries, i am off duty and no intentions of working anytime soon. i just havent made it home to change yet. thought i would get some dinner before returning home.” he admitted. “well just behave yourself and i wont have to ticket you.” he said sternly though a smile was still on his face. “look i am old. i dont know all these cool kid lingos about snack and meals and shit.” he admitted.

[beautifulcpeople]

a smirk appeared on brie’s face when mason couldn’t help but mention all the times that brie had to turn him down from all kind of reasons, but she always found it amusing that he kept trying, after all the two worked at the same place and he was kind of her boss so she didn’t know what to do about it. “so this is where you pour your feeling out?” she asked with a small laugh at the end. “i bet this rock has a lot of secrets about me.” she joked as she kicked the rock softly. “so next time you should bring her and i’ll bring gabs, they should get along perfectly.”

the older mason had gotten the more he had gotten used to being friendzoned by the ladies around him. it was okay though, he figured that sometimes you just needed someone to talk to that wasnt trying to constantly hit on you. however at times he did like to boost her confidence by teasing her about it.  “it is, it is really sad actually. i come up here and just sit down and cry for hours.” he said with a smile. “you couldnt imagine what these mountains know about you.” he wiggled his brow. “yeah next time we go i will for sure hit you up.” 

[beautifulcpeople]

 “Oh my god. What the hell! I’m literally doing nothing. I’m just…” Sutton paused as she took noticed of the friendly smile on his face and finally processed the words that he just said. She was so used to getting in trouble that she automatically assumed that was the case. “Oh, you were just joking. Kind of convincing when you have the uniform on.” A short laugh followed her words as her lips curled up into a smile. “–And what exactly would you give me a ticket for?” She questioned as she sat down across from him, silently agreeing to take him up on his offer. 

it was humorous to him when  sutton began to get a bit hostile about his words, the smile peaked out of his lips showing him teasing around. mason knew it was unfair to still be in his uniform and joke around about writing someone a ticket. though he had hoped she wouldnt be offended by his offer for her to take a seat. “i know, probably not the best line to use.” he admitted with a shake of his head. “sometimes my jokes get away from me..” the man admitted.  he gestured for her to take a seat across from him, if she had wanted. “i have no idea if we are being honest. i am sure in the moment i could have come up with something witty, however i guess i just assumed you would sit down and i wouldnt have to think anymore. “

[beautifulcpeople]

 she shrugged, a small smile tugging at her lips but she was aware it was happening and stopped it immediately. her hand running over her face to mask the smile. truly, she didn’t know she was capable of smiling. “this is really southern. biscuits and gravy.” she observed before raising an eyebrow. “who said I was even remotely available to have any kind of–” ollie gestured in between them as she shook her head. “yeah. no. you’re not my type.”

mason shook his head, “as country as sweet tea, my dear.” the male teased. then he let out a scoff though he was completely playing around. “excuse you. i am everyones type.” it was hard for him to say without busting out laughing, mason wasnt cocky in the least bit of ways. though he did like to joke around with his friends. “i am sweet, and handsome.. my moms tell me i am a handsome boy.” he pointed out. “and as the kids say i am daddy as fuck.” he then let out the loudest laugh he was holding back at his words. “okay, enough of that.” he said waving his hand. “if you are a weirdo and dont like breakfast then i suggest the burger.. the plain old boring burger.” he joked again.

@mercywilliams​

after a long night on the job mason really just wanted his day off to be lazy at home. however his daughter had a different idea. she had reminded her father that he had promised to take her to get new school clothes before school had started. he had always said she was 7 going on 16. agreeing he pulled himself out of bed and headed down to the mall with her to take her to her favorite clothing shop. as he was heading inside the building the door nearly hit them and the person who was opening the door made his jaw drop. “-mercy” he asked as if he had seen a ghost.

[beautifulcpeople]

 she straightened her back a little at the mention of her full name. she wasn’t used to people calling her that, though she knew she’d have to get used to it. she swallowed and looked down at the menu. “I mean, you’re still wearing your uniform, so I wasn’t sure.” She trailed before shaking her head. “i’ve had it, just think breakfast should be something for the morning, y’know? have a routine for the types of food you eat. breakfast food is meant to be eaten in the morning.”

mason was good at calling people by their full names, it was something he had done his whole life. it was more natural for him than a nick name. “yeah i probably should have went home and changed before, but i was too hungry to think about anything else other than this gravy and biscuits im about to throw down on.” he shrugged then shook his head. “and this is how i know we would never work, ollie.. i have to have a woman who can eat pancakes in the morning and settle for eggs at night as well.” he teased.

[beautifulcpeople]

 she nodded, her words not really showing much emotion. “i’m well aware. i’m just saying, I wasn’t exactly doing anything wrong for you to read me my miranda rights.” her eyes glanced down at the menu as they flicked up back at him. “breakfast? it’s almost 10 at night. please don’t tell me you’re a breakfast for dinner person.” she blinked at him and leaned her head back slightly for it to hit the booth. 

mae gave her a small frown. “olivia, i was just kidding..” he said reassuring her. “it was just a joke, i wasnt planning on writing anyone a ticket.. i am not even on duty right now. i just got off actually.” he said in a matter of fact tone. “i was just getting some food before i get back home to get some sleep.” he explained. “breakfast for dinner is the best thing in the world..” he said as he gasped. “you havent had breakfast for dinner?” he asked her a bit shook. 

[beautifulcpeople]

  ollie had been watching him for some time now as she raised an eyebrow leaning against the booth. “you wouldn’t write me a ticket. i’m not exactly loitering.” she said, sliding into the booth. he had been the first one she had met when she came into town and ollie didn’t really know that many people. “I was told the burgers and milkshakes were good here. any counters on that statement?” 

mason couldnt help but let out another little laugh.”oh come on, oli. lighten up.” he said looking as she sat down. “police can arrest other police you know..” she said with a cheeky smile as he gestured over the menu. “they have great milkshakes, however their breakfast food is actually the best thing that little janet makes here.” 

[dylanriggs-deactivated20200814]

having been on his phone with his mom for the past thirty minutes or so, dylan tilted his head backwards and he groaned softly as he dug his teeth into his bottom lip. " mom, i’m good, okay? honestly, " he said, looking down at his hand which shook furiously, but he was quick to hide it underneath the other. " i’m fine. i promise. " you don’t sound fine. “ i don’t sound fine? ” he laughed softly, shaking his head as he leaned back on the bench, " i’m just tired. my hand hurts a little bit still, so my sleeping has been a little messed up lately. that’s all. " he knew that if he had talked to her face to face, then he wouldn’t have been able to actually lie so well. dylan had never really been good at lying to his mother. lifting his gaze, dylan looked at the person who approached him, " mom, listen, i need to go… i’ll call you later? okay, yeah, i love you too. bye, “ he said, putting the phone down. ” hey, what’s up? “ ( @peachesstart​ )

[beautifulcpeople]

mason couldnt help but laugh at hearing the conversation going on between the boy and his mother. he waited patiently to speak to him and when he hung the phone up he let out a laugh. “ah moms... try having two of them!” mason pointed out to the boy. “it doenst matter how old you get they still have to call and check on you to make sure you ate your veggies today. i think it is cool that there are still people who keep in touch with their parents daily.” then the male shook his head. “honestly i forgot what i needed after hearing all that.”

location: peach tree greenhouse

Ryan wasn’t a flower nerd like most people who gathered around the greenhouse, but they did appreciate being among nature and honestly was open to anything to keep them out of their head. They reached down to touch one of the roses and must have accidently pricked their finger, instantly bringing their finger to their mouth to try and sooth the pain. “Sorry, do you have a band-aid?” They asked to the nearest person to them. “Having a sleeping beauty moment- just without the sleepy spell.”

[beautifulcpeople]

mason often loved stopping and smelling the roses as the old saying goes. though today he was stopping by to get some flowers for his mother.  she had been sick for the last week and was finally getting over her head cold and he wanted to bring her some flowers to cheer her up.  as he looked though the greenhouse he heard the other.  he couldnt help but let out a soft laugh and shook his head. “i dont have one on me.. but i have a first aid kit out in the car.. if you want me to go grab you one?” he offered. 

[peachesstart]

brianneclark​:

“okay so you just now tell me about this place?” brianne asked as she started to walk from the car and her eyes went wider when she saw the amazing view she had in front of her. gabrielle was at the daycare and brie first time in a while had a day off, so doing nothing would just make it go to waste. “i mean it’s beautiful.” she added shortly. @peachesstart​

[beautifulcpeople]

mason shook his head. “what can i say? i dont like to give all my secrets away.” the male teased with a smile.  “plus what if i have to come here to sulk over you turning me down for dinner for the tenth time this week? i come here and here you are here just standing there in MY spot looking at the beautiful view i use to get you off my mind.” mason said clearly teasing her. “it is gorgeous.. kelli and i come hiking out here a lot. she loves to play in the stream behind the tree line there.”

[domcorderio]

Dominic’s schedule was very strict, it was a constant cycle of sleep, school, baby responsibilities, work and repeat. There wasn’t much room for flexibility or time to stop and smell the roses, but by some absolute miracle, he had the night off from work - something about overstaffing the Graveyard, though he didn’t linger to ask questions. Instead, Dominic booked it out of the bar and out onto the street where he took his sweet time wandering the roads, peeking into the shops he rarely ever had the opportunity to step into. He’d been looking into the book store window when he heard his name being called from a distance.

Squinting his eyes against the Georgia sun, he looked after the shilouette until he recognized who it was. “Before you ask, yes I do know how to read,” he joked before his lips curled up into a grin. “What are you up to? Don’t tell me you’re headed to work because I’ve got the night off and you’re the poor fool that’s now my target for the night. We gotta do something.” @peachesstart​

[beautifulcpeople]

mason had just been sent on a task that before he returned home from work to swing by the library and get his daughter a few new books that she had asked for. he loved that she was young and yet still loved to read and learn when she wasnt in school. he took great pride in her smarts and like to pretend it was really him behind it.. when he knew that wasnt true.  making his way he saw the boy and gave him a little wave.

a laugh escaped from the back of his throat at the reading comment as he shook his head. “no- no worries. i didnt come all the way out here to harass you and put your reading to the test... not today at least.” he reassured him with a nod. “i just came out here because kelli had asked me to pick her up some new books.” he explained. “but let me grab a couple of the books and then we can find something to get into it you want?”

[mason-daviss]

Ain’t no law with the claw, but when it comes to music that definitely applies. A shit one of white claws turned into the guys and I fucking around and definitely covering some bomb ass spice girls and Brittany Spears songs. Too bad we forgot to record that good stuff.  

[beautifulcpeople]

“i never really get the appeal of a white claw.”  mason admitted. “if you are going to drink then why not just drink something that taste good.. “ he said shaking his head. “at least you are doing something you like to do.. some of the best memories are the ones where you and some friends are just sitting around goofing off having a killer time.”

[beautifulcpeople]

mason was sitting down in the booth of the cafe. it was late and he had just gotten off of work, his uniform still on his body and his eyes looked heavily tired. though still a gleaming smile tugged at his lips as they looked at the person standing close to the table. “you know- typically i would write you a ticket for that.” the male said teasing, “though if you take a seat across from me and have some dinner on me then i might just let you off.” the male said pointing to the empty seat across from him.

{ zac efron ♔ thirty ♔ he/him } well, well, well if it isn’t mason ‘mae’ karson running around peach hollow. legend has it, they come from blueberry boulevard and have lived here for thirty years. if you’re wondering what they’ve been up to, i hear they’re a sheriff  for a living. they have been known to be jealous yet charismatic. a word of advice to them, always look over your shoulder. you never know who is watching. { bri ♔ 25+♔ cst♔ she/her}

mason aka mae, has lived in georgia his whole entire life. he was raised by two beautiful mothers who had taught him the importance of being a respectable young man. as a little boy he was a charming and sweet kid. he always was his teachers favorite and did great in school. the older he got the more he had fallen away from being the goodie- two shoes student. by the time he was in high school he was in and out of trouble. he had different girlfriends every week, though his mothers were mortified. they didnt raise someone who would play women. 

though he continued to be a player and enjoyed playing the field and never once thought he would ever have a serious relationship. high school ended and he went to college. he spent the majority of his college years just partying and making terrible choices. it was pretty obvious to those who knew him knew he was never going to graduate and get a degree in really anything at the rate he was going. 

his sophomore year of college which should have been his junior, he had just turned twenty-two and he was hit with some news that would change his life forever. the girl he had been hooking up with on greek row had told him she was pregnant. mason’s life was turned upside down and he was unsure what he and her should do.. or would do.

though as the years went on it became easier, even though the two couldnt make a relationship work they have a GREAT co-parenting thing going on for their seven year old daughter who has helped mason calm down a lot.

when his daughter, kelli, was about three he knew he had to do something to make money and afford a good life for the two of them. he joined the police station and after a few years he was a sheriff. he now lives his life working and spending as much time will kelli as he can. he is a good dude and often enjoys playing the field from time to time though the older he gets the more he wants to settle down and give his daughter a more stable female figure in her life.
