A month later.

"Stacey speaking."
"Hi Stacey! It's me.. Mason."
"Oh hi Mason! How are you?"
"I'm fine. You?"
"I'm fi... I'm okay."
"Hahahaha you and Eric are such kids."
"... Uh How is.. How is he..?"
"He's okay too... Anyway, I want you to attend my birthday party tomorrow at my place."
"Ohh.. Um.. I don't know.."
"Oh c'mon Stacey! It'll be fun. And Eric won't be there. He's on a business trip."
"Oh okay cool. I'm in."
He laughed. "I'll text you my address. Oh and Stacey, it's an all-blue affair."
"Okay."
"See you tomorrow then."
"Sure. Bye Mason."
"Bye."

I quickly called Joe to come over so he could help me pick something classy for Mason's party.
The day went by very quickly. And soon, it was the day of the party.
It was to start at 6:00pm and it was already 5:15pm. I went to have my bath then applied some pomade before I walked towards my wardrobe to take out the outfit Joe chose for me. I put it on before looking at myself in the mirror.
It was a royal blue off shoulder mid length body con dress with 4 inch heels and a nude clutch. The dress hugged my figure perfectly. It wasn't too tight. I could actually move and dance in it.

"Joe... Please get in here."
"WOOOOW! You look beautiful babe! And you haven't even applied make up."
"Thanks Joe. That's why I called you. Time to do my hair and make up."

Joe straightened my hair and applied light makeup on my face. He applied a red lipstick on my lips as well.
"Damn Stacey. You look really hot! It's a pity Eric won't be there to see what he's missing out."

It really is a pity.

I looked at the time and realized I was already late.

"Okay let's go now. I'll give you a ride. You're so lucky where I'll be having my date is close to Mason's." Joe said.

I chuckled.
We got to Mason's place within 15 minutes. I quickly said goodbye to Joseph and headed towards the Mason's house. It was so huge... Not as huge as Eric's... But huge.
I rung the doorbell and a few seconds later Mason answered.

"Wow!!! You look hot Stacey!"
"Thank you Mason, and happy birthday." I said as I hugged him.
"And you smell great too... thanks."
I blushed. "So how old are you?"
"27... I have a confession to make."
"What is it?"
"I lied about Eric being on a business trip. Sorry." He grinned.
"What? Why would you do that?" I snapped, hitting him with my clutch.
"Ouch! I said sorry... Ouch."
"That doesn't fix anything! I guess I'd just have to avoid him then. Where is he?"
"Right behind you love." I heard a voice whisper in my ear.
My eyes widened. "Eric."

I slowly turned around to face him. He looked as handsome as ever. He was also in a royal blue casual Ralph Lauren dress shirt with jeans.
I think I heard Mason excuse himself before walking away... I wasn't too sure. I was lost as soon as I looked into Eric's golden brown eyes.

"...uh... Hi"
"Hi Stacey. You look beautiful."

I smiled and began to walk away from him.

"Where are you going?"
I sighed. "You told me you wanted to stop seeing me, remember? So I'm leaving."
"Stacey wait.."
"What is it?"
"Please don't go." He begged.
"Why?"
"Because.. I don't want you to."
"Gosh you're so confusing! One minute you don't want to see me, the next minute you want to. Make up your mind Eric! Which is it?"
"Stacey-" He said as he walked closer to me.
"Do you have a girlfriend? Is that it?"
"What? No!"
"You're married then?"
"Of course not! Stacey, I.."
"You what? You can't keep toying with me Eric.. I also have feelings you know?"
"I like you Stacey... I like you a lot. Not being able to see you was killing me. It was stupid of me to say we should stop seeing each other. I think about you day and night. You are always in my dreams. I missed your laugh, I missed hugging you... I missed the feeling of your soft full lips on mine. The thought of you being with someone else almost drove me mad. I've missed you so so much. You have no idea." He murmured seductively against my lips as he grabbed my waist possessively and pulled me closer. "I need you, Stacey. I need your kisses and caresses... I need all of you."
"Mm.. Eric." I moaned.

I tiptoed, wanting his warm, minty breath to caress my face.

"I missed you too Eric. You don't know how hurt I was when you said you didn't want to see me again."
"I'm so sorry sweetheart... Can.. Can I.. Kiss you?"

I nodded.
With that, Eric lowered his head before smashing his lips on mine.
