"How could he go off with someone else in just two minutes? I thought we were hitting it off," Mason sighed, playing with his cereal.
Although he was bummed for a while because of this and his hangover, we had a blast the rest of the weekend. By a blast, I mean we did nothing together—played games, danced, and did some karaoke with Mum too. It was really relaxing since I had decided not to worry so much about anything.
I've been careful around Xavier, and Alex hasn't bothered me after that uncomfortable interrogation. Besides, during the meeting that was mostly just us talking nonsense, I got the feeling like I really just need to let go of the past and embrace this new relationship I've developed with him as an employee. We actually could talk more comfortably than at the bar now, and it's totally because he doesn't flirt with me like he did with Connor. He's not even interested in me since I'm a woman, so it makes me want to talk more freely.
