Ava’s POV I laid on my bed since I’d already made up my mind not to come out but my mum’s constant knock on my door made it difficult.“Ava?” She called as she knocked on the door and I knew she was going to try and open it to get in.Quickly, I threw the blanket over my head and pretended to be shivering as my mum got in.“What’s the matter?” She asked, walking over to me and having her seat beside me.“I have a cold, I think I might have caught the flu.” I explained, sneezing dramatically but my mother only raised an eyebrow as she looked at me.“Liar, Ava, you know how much I hate lies.”“But I’m not even…”“You better stand up from the bed and get ready or you risk having to share your room with Mason when we get back.” My mum threatened and I sprung out of the bed at once.I would do anything but share the same room with him.Getting ready and preparing for our trip, I finished dressing up in no time, choosing to dress extremely comfortably in a pair of joggers and a large te
Ava’s POV The silence in the kitchen was ear piercing as Mason coughed awkwardly before walking out of the kitchen while I made my way to the fridge to pick out a bowl.Making myself a bowl of cereal, I started eating before hearing footsteps and I looked up to see Mason in the kitchen with me once again, with one of his arms resting at the side of the doorway.“Do you care?” I demanded, gesturing to my own bowl of cereal. He didn’t respond and without thinking, I decided to make him a bowl anyway, which he cleared up super fast.Mason finished and proceeded to wash his bowl without saying a thank you. I regarded him with an irritated scowl before speaking. His rude manners are why I didn’t like him in the first place.“Didn’t your mother teach you any manners?” I had already finished talking before I realized what I had said.My jaw was clenched as I turned to look at him, and his eyes were darker than they usually were, along with his expression being blank.I remembered Danny te
Ava’s POV I opened my eyes to see that it was morning already, and I let out a long sigh as I rubbed my eyes lightly. I picked up my phone to see that I’d missed my mum’s calls.Springing out of bed, I immediately dialed her number again but just like yesterday, it wasn’t connecting. I groggily made my way downstairs to see that Mason was already up.“I have some news to share, something happened and I think you have a right to know,” Mason started as soon as he noticed my presence and my eyes widened in horror.What does he mean something happened? What is he talking about?“W… what? What happened?” I stammered urgently, perspiring nervously. Fear so intense gripped me, it was almost hard for me to breathe and the feeling of paranoia was so heavy as it sat in the middle of my chest.Did something happen to Danny and my mum?Did something happened to my mum??“What happened?! Please tell me what happened, please, what happened?” I demanded again, and when I tried to suck in a breath,
Ava’s POV Sitting for a while and trying to shrug the thought of Mason out of my head, I decided I was going to watch the TV for a while.The footsteps of Mason descending caught my attention and I turned to see him with his laptop. He gently placed it on the dining table and I saw both our parents on the screen.Excited, I scampered over there to talk to them while also being careful of not making any sort of contact with Mason.“Hey Mom, Hi Danny,” I squealed and they both laughed warmly. I made sure to thoroughly examine them with my eyes to confirm that they were indeed fine. I was glad they called because I couldn't wait to tell them that I wanted to be come home.“Hey Ava,” They both said in unison, “How are you enjoying the island?” Danny asked and I sighed, taking a side glance at Mason who had on a flat expression before answering the question.“It’s alright but I really can’t wait to be home, it’s boring being here without friends and…” I trailed off and bit my tongue, fe
Ava’s POV Tired and hungry, I made my way down the stairs to make breakfast for myself and I saw that Mason was down there already. The table was also set and breakfast was ready.I couldn’t help but do a double take.“Why did you make breakfast for two?” I asked, feeling dumbfounded. I still haven’t forgotten about what he said to me last night and I was still mad at that.“Aren’t we two in here?” He asked while rolling his eyes and wiping his hands in a small towel. He had on a fitted but loose looking black top on a baggy pair of sweats, and his hair was all fluffed up, giving him an extremely soft look.I shrugged as I walked past him, into the kitchen where I pulled out a pan to make scrambled eggs for myself.I’m not about to eat the food prepared by someone who’d blatantly said I wasn’t worthy to be called his friend. Why did he even make breakfast for two when he doesn’t care about me?Silently, I watched as he ate his food with a little bit of a side glance and pretending
Ava’s POV The drive home was silent and peaceful and for a moment I could see a hint of niceness and softness in Mason’s countenance, but I didn’t comment on it.We soon got home and since I wasn’t sleepy yet, I made my way to the couch and sank into it before turning towards Mason who was already on his way upstairs.“Hey,” I called out hesitantly and he turned around slowly with his eyebrow arched questioningly. My eyes trailed over him slowly and once again, I marvelled over how good looking he was in the suit and how his slicked back hair made him appear impossibly hotter than he usually is. “Do you maybe wanna see a movie with me?” I forced the words past my lips and for a moment I could see his eyes widen comically in nothing but shock.To be fair, I’m as shocked as he is, cause seeing a movie together wasn’t a thing we’ve ever done before.A few minutes passed and no response came forth, making me conclude that he’d definitely act like the asshole that he naturally is by
Ava’s POV The sound of Mason’s laughter wasn’t as annoying as it usually was, I lifted my gaze to look at him and I was absolutely dazed.His face glowed so beautifully, making him appear almost ethereal right now. I stared at him for what seemed like hours till his voice jolted me out of my thoughts.“C’mon, up you go.” He murmured, tilting his head before snorting out another laugh. I tried to stand after a few minutes, but my leg was really stuck.“I can’t, I’m stuck.” I pointed out and he rolled his eyes before holding his hand out. I bit on my lower lip and regard his outstretched hand withou reaching for it.“Are you gonna accept it or not? It’s not gonna bite.” He drawled out, making color fill up my cheeks as I glared up at him and jammed my hand in his larger one. He arched an eyebrow at me as he jerked me upwards so fast that I felt my head spin a little. I’d have collided into his chest if I hadn’t held my second hand out, and that supposed second hand is currently p
Ava’s POV Getting up as early as I could, I’d decided I was going to make a really delicious breakfast for the both of us and that way I’d be able to apologise to Mason.After spending hours trying to get the varieties of food ready, I had the table set and the smile that escaped my lips when Mason got down from the stairs was noticeable.“Good Morning,” I said with a smile that faded when he walked past me like he didn’t see me. I stood frozen for the first few seconds before finally shaking myself out of the daze I got caught in.“I made breakfast.” I announced but he pointedly ignored me, looking around the cupboards and picking out a pan, along with the required ingredients to prepare pancakes.I felt my cheeks burn and my blood boiled and I clenched my fist in anger and humiliation. I was fuming and I made sure that he noticed it.“What is wrong with you?” I finally brought myself to demand but he only raised an eyebrow and shrugged, “I decided to be nice enough to make break
