Mason's

POV

"Why are you talking about them all of a sudden?" I asked skeptically. She tucked her hair behind her ear.

"I was only concerned. I'm sure your parents must be very worried, especially your mum. I haven't had a conversation with your fathers yet but I have with your mum and from her expression when she's talking about you she loves you very much," she replied, concern written all over her face. "I know that," I responded placing some eggs on her plate.

"Then call them. Assure them that you are fine. That would mean a lot," she probed. I grabbed a glass of water and took a sip.

"I will but that would be later. Mum is currently in the hospital and my fathers must be busy in a meeting," I explained. She nodded with a smile.

"Speaking of parents, shouldn't you call your dad?" I inquired. I knew it was a sensitive topic but it needed to be discussed. She can't keep pushing the idea away forever.

Her face fell. "I don't want to talk to him."

"I know you are hurt but you would have to face him sooner than later. He went to the authorities and posted your picture everywhere in search of you. That should count as something right?" I asked. She ate quietly without a response.

"Like I said before, I think he was just hurt. You should visit him and talk things out," I urged. She sighed.

"What if he doesn't want to see or talk to me? What if he blames me for my mother's death again? I don't think I can deal with that rejection," she muttered sadly. I held her hand.

"Don't worry. I will be with you every step of the way, okay?" I assured her. She nodded in response.

"Is that a yes?" I asked curiously.

"I think you are right. I should speak to him and get this off my chest. That way, I would be able to move on. So, it's a yes," she replied with a smile.

"Great. All you have to do is inform me when you plan on going then we can go together," I said. She nodded and continued eating. We ate in a comfortable silence. Although this vacation was only for the weekend, I planned to make the most out of it. "Our tests are starting soon," she declared.

"Yes, I know that. Why? Are you worried about that?" I inquired with a smile.

"Of course I'm worried. Not everyone can be a genius like you are. The principal personally told me that if I didn't meet up with the required grades this time around, she would have no other choice than to send me away," she explained worriedly. I packed the plates and dropped them on the sink.

"Was that why you were so desperate for me to tutor you then?" I asked in amusement.

"That isn't the point right now. The point is how do I improve my grades? I don't want to drop out. My parents would be so disappointed and that would mean I won't get to see you as often. I want to be right beside you so your so-called fans won't have any silly ideas," she whined. I chuckled. I liked that she was starting to get comfortable with me.

Mason's POV

"Why are you talking about them all of a sudden?" I asked skeptically. She tucked her hair behind her ear.

"Claiming your territory already?" I asked.

"It's not funny Mason," she replied.

"Even if you don't believe in me, believe in yourself. I think you are more than ready if you stick to all that I taught you. Don't worry, I will teach you more before the tests begin," I assured her. "Okay," she muttered.

"You look stressed out," I stated.

"Really?" she inquired in surprise. I nodded in response.

"Do you want a massage?" I asked.

"A massage?" she repeated.

"Yes. I'm very good with massages. We can't go out anyway. It's freezing outside and I don't want you to catch a cold," I replied.

"I would like that very much but I have to clean up first," she said getting up from the chair.

"Take your time," I replied with a smile. She headed into the bathroom while I picked up my phone. I called Vivian and she picked up immediately.

"Took you long enough," she said.

"How are you doing? Feels like years since I last saw you," I replied with a smile glad to be hearing her voice again.

"Don't be dramatic. You saw me two days ago," she responded.

"Did you call because you missed me?" I asked.

She scoffed. "Did Lexi tell you that?"

"She didn't need to. I could tell," I answered.

"Where did you go? The house has been so quiet since you left. I feel like I'm constantly walking on eggshells because I might say something and make Mum upset. Come back soon and make things right. I hate to see everyone like this," she said. I smiled. "I will. Are you with Sean?"

"I am. He did something stupid again. It's good that I was here to help out. What will he do without me?" she sighed. "Anyway, congratulations on replaceing your mate. Call me first when you arrive at the airport," she said before hanging up. First, it was Mady and now Vivian was informing me of how upset Mum was. I decided to call her.

"Mason?" she called out in a hoarse voice immediately she picked up. I frowned.

"Why is your voice like that?" I inquired.

"It's nothing to worry about. I'm just feeling under the weather," she responded.

"You didn't go to the office today? I thought you would be there by now," I said.

"I took a day off, didn't feel like going to the office today. How are you? Are you and Lexi feeling alright? Do you need anything?" she asked curiously.

"We are fine. Do you want me to come back..."

"No, of course not. Take all the time you need before coming back. It wouldn't be fair on you or Lexi," she responded.

"How about..."

"Your fathers are fine. They just left for an urgent meeting. There's nothing to worry about," she assured me. I kept silent for a while not knowing what to say till I heard sniffles. "Mum?" I called out in surprise but she didn't respond.

"Mum? Are you crying?" I asked again.

"I'm so sorry for everything dear. I've been such a terrible mother. Always engrossed in my work and assuming you were okay with everything that was going on," she cried. "Mum please," I sighed.

"I should have checked up on you better. I'm so sorry. I should have been a better mum. We should have been better parents. All I wanted was to make sure you and your sisters had all the privileges I never had. I only wanted a better life for you both. I didn't know it would result in this," she said tearfully. It broke my heart to hear her cry. That was one thing I never wanted to witness again.

"It's not your fault," I replied.

"Of course it is. You had a panic attack right in front of me and I had no idea about it. I was completely clueless. What kind of a mother does that?" she inquired.

"I didn't admit all that I said yesterday to make you all feel bad. I understand our fathers were probably terrified that I was going to end up like them. I was only trying to explain to you all that it would never happen. I'm my own person. You don't have to cry. After venting yesterday, I feel a lot better," I explained.

"When you get back, we all need to sit and discuss this as a family. I don't want any more misunderstandings," she replied. I nodded in response but then I realized she couldn't see me.

"Fine by me. And you are the best mum a person could ever wish for. Don't ever doubt that. Take care of your health," I replied.

"Thank you, son. Where is Lexi? Is she there?" she asked curiously.

"She isn't here right now but I will inform her you asked of her," I responded. We spoke for a while till she finally hung up. I turned around and headed towards the bedroom. The shower was still running. I brought out a couple of massage oils and relaxing lavender. I lit some of her amazing scented candles before switching off the lights. I scrolled through my phone and played some relaxing music while I waited for her. When she stepped out of the bathroom, she glanced around with a smile on her face. "I see you've set the mood."

"I sure have," I responded with a smile. She slowly walked towards me and removed her bathrobe letting it fall to the floor with a thud. I stared at her in shock. She was completely naked in front of me. Her pink n*****s were hard as though they were eagerly waiting for me to take them. Her body was smooth and inviting.

"What are you waiting for? Are you getting massaged with your clothes on?" she asked in a sultry voice.
