there’s silence midst her presence, lips tightly pressing onto one another ; acting as a form of hesitance, an indication of remembering all the issues the two had to deal with whenever they were to do something. she knew it wasn’t fair for both guys what she was doing, for Ethan it was the continuous lies and the fact his girlfriend was unfaithful and for Mason, she could not be the type of girl to give him hundred percent if she were to continue as she was as of now, he DESERVED better and deep down she knew that herself but she most often pushed those thoughts away because even now, in the comfort of their own space with no one else, he looks at her like she is worthy of adoration and whilst she had been so wary, always trying to keep her heart under guard it did not take long for him to break down her walls and because of this she is far to SELFISH to give it up no matter how wrong it might be. ❛ why? I just thought it’d be fun … you know, a way for us to still hang out in public without getting any questioning looks ❜ whilst partly true, it isn’t the real reason she asks for him to come on this double date set up because like he said; she must have lost her mind if she wanted him to come out just so they could ‘hang out’ but he isn’t to know that. she’s never experienced something like this, promised herself she’d never be one to cheat but here she was doing exactly THAT ; she doubts she would have done it be it anyone else but with Mason, there was something else there, it was a shame the two didn’t meet earlier. she exhales: her breath is a little shaky, but there’s a smile caught on the edges of it, warm and real. she glances down briefly when their hands’ touch, a pause, she wants to savour the moment because she knows how much has been given for it. but they’ve been down this road before, fleeting times the two spend never felt long enough and whilst she had gotten away with disappearing so far she’s not so sure how much longer it will work. sometimes, just for a change, she wants to act without anything holding her back. his words induce a kind of curiosity to stir within her and she is rendered contemplative, who would he bring? whilst she shouldn’t have those thoughts, the fact that he’d be going on a date with someone who wasn’t her suddenly fuelled her body with jealousy, had she truly thought this out? ❛ I’m not sure … don’t you have anyone you know that wouldn’t mind coming ? ❜ despite how at ease she seems when words are spoken, there are still bits of doubt resting in her eyes but to see that Mason was at least not shutting the idea down helps lift off a weight from her shoulders and she visibly relaxes a little more. with a genuine smile at the way in which he addresses her, that no one would have been as good a date as herself, she feels a little better with the whole him bringing a date and so she speaks again. ❛ we both know you’re quite the charmer, just use that to your advantage and woo someone … but not TOO much. ❜ a quiet laugh escapes, trying to make light of the situation despite the fact she is very much not JOKING with what she has said. Anastasia leans up and presses a chaste kiss to his jaw before slowly moving up to meet his lips again, she knows exactly what she’s doing as she mutters ❛ please … I promise I’ll make it worthwhile. ❜
❝ the idea of a double date just isn’t the picture i had in mind of us hanging out. ❞ he says , digits slowly making their way to her hips as he let the tips of his fingers move down her sides. he’s trying to make it clear , that this was a moment he wanted to share with her more often - that he wished he would be able to hold her like this not just now , but also at different times. that is why his gaze is so intense , why his eyes seem to flicker to her lips from time to time , digits ever so softly squeezing her hips as he felt his heart beat quickening. what they had it wasn’t just emotionally intense - but also physically. it’s why he leans down to peck her lips once more , a goofy grin adorning his features now as he pulls back to look at her. ❝ hanging out with you alone is fun . . . like this right now - no one’s here bothering us . . . ❞ by no one he mainly talked about ethan and her friends - he wasn’t sure if anyone already k n e w that there was something going on there. his behaviour hinted at it sometimes. the way he looked at her , the way he sometimes sat too close so he could hold her hand beneath the table - or the way he’d walk next to her , with digits resting upon the lower of her back - he tries not to be obvious , tries his best to keep it all on the down low , but he still f a i l s. he can’t help it , she’s just so goddamn intoxicating - and he hated the situation they were in. liking her as much as he was , yet knowing that she wasn’t his , and that she’d perhaps never be. ❝ i mean . . . my cousin knows this girl that used to be into me apparently so i could ask her out to make it more believable but . . . - i’d rather be alone with y o u. ❞ he says , teeth sinking into his bottom lip as he gazes at her , the grin he wore only growing to be a more teasing one as the seconds passed. g o d , he really fucking likes her. words make a small chuckle part his lips , one leaving him in form of a breath - he’s amused , finds her cute , and he finds himself leaning closer , hand now moving up to rest against the side of her neck as he let his thumb brush small circles across her skin. ❝ hmm . . . you know i only have eyes for you. ❞ he whispers , tongue tracing his bottom lip briefly as he watches her. he’s hoping she knows he’s speaking the truth. she’s the only thing he wants - what he wishes he could have for himself only. ❝ besides . . . i don’t even know if i want to do this. ❞ he says , gaze drifting down for a moment. it’s complicated , more so since he doesn’t know how much he’ll be able to stand if they hung out. she’d be there , but with her boyfriend - and he knew for a fact he wasn’t going to be up for seeing them making out in front of his face. mason knew he wouldn’t be able to stand it - not at all. he looks up at her again , gaze softening as he lets the pad of his thumb brush against her cheek. if things were easier - perhaps he’d do it , but he felt too much for her - he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to hold on. she leans up now , lips pressing against the edge of his jaw , only for his eyes to close , lips parting , only to be met with her own moments later. hand now cupping her face as she pulls back , eyes flickering to her lips the second she spoke. fuck , he stood no chance now - no chance to get away from this situation. ❝ god . . . how am i supposed to say no to that . . . ❞ he whispers , teeth sinking into his bottom lip as he moves closer , leaning down to press his lips upon her own once more. he’s w e a k beneath her touch - and the promise of something m o r e leaves him wanting , craving for that. how the hell was he supposed to say no ?? the corners of his lips twitch as he watches her , hands now moving down her sides as forehead rests against her own - he likes her way too much to say no to something like this. ❝ o k a y , fine - i’ll go. ❞
