We got into a car together and drove down a road with music coming from the speakers. I held my hand out the window as we went with his hand on my leg.

What I wasn't ready for was for him to pull up to a private beach.

"Come on." He hoped out of the car and grabbed blankets from the back.

I followed him as he took me to a gazebo that was facing the ocean. It had to be a beautiful view in the morning or during the day.

I felt Mason come up behind me and wrap his arms around me as he put his chin on my shoulder.

"Is this real?"

"You want me to pinch you?" I rolled my eyes and tried to push him away but he held me.

"I-I just have never seen something like this. Been treated like this." The chill of the night came through but with his arms around me I felt great.

"It's always been me and Flynn for the past couple years. I've done everything I could for him. And I guess I-I."

"You never gave to yourself..." I turned to face him still keeping him close to me.

"You are the first thing that I've had for myself." He smiled kissing the top of my head.

Then I took off to the beach. He followed me laughing as I ran on the beach.

"Want to go for a swim?" He asked as he started to take his shirt off.

"What?"

"Come on." Next were his pants then he reached for his boxers and I turned around fast.

I waited till I heard him get into the water before I turned back around.

"come on!" He called waving me out.

I grabbed my dress and lifted it off my head and covered myself looking down at the dress in a ball on the sand next to his clothes.

"Kitten please get in the water."

"Turn around!" I said looking back to him. He rolled his eyes at me but did as I said.

I quickly took my clothes off and rushed into the water. Right as I dove in I felt the cold water rush up my body.

"Oh my GOD!" I screamed not liking the cold.

"It's freezing in here!" He laughed and swam over to me.

"You want me to warm you up?"

"Oh nooo you stay right there buddy." I laughed pushing him away from me.

"Fine I see how it is."

He splashed water into my face as a wave came.

"You're a child." I said not amused one bit.

He splashed me again and this led to a big water fight. He was really winning because I couldn't move much like this but I got an idea.

A big wave came and I pretended not to be able to breath and went under.

A few seconds later I felt arms wrap around me and pull me up and I took in all the air I could.

"What the hell Darcy!" I started laughing looking at Masons face. He looked scared out of his mind and it was cute to see he was that worried about me.

"I can't believe you." He let me go swimming out a little turning away from me.

"I-I'm s-sorry." I said softly looking back at the water. Maybe it wasn't as funny as I thought as it would be.

He grabbed my face harshly and kissed me hard. I pushed him away confused for a hot minute.

"What was that for?"

"You know what it was for." He hissed and I swam there for a second completely flabbergasted.

"Ok you know what...I think I want to go back. I've clearly pissed you off and I don't want to make things worse." I turned around and headed back to the beach not caring if he saw the back of me.

I threw my dress back on and grabbed my things rushing back to the car.

"DARCY!"

"Not now." I hissed

"I'm sorry ok!"

I got back to The gazebo and picked up the blankets and rolled them up before making my walk to the car.

"DARCY!" He grabbed my arm and pushed me into the car keeping me trapped.

"Please just let me explain."

I waited pushing him away from me as well.

"I-I just got scared Darcy ok. I didn't like knowing you could have been hurt. I've just been threw a lot and losing another person on my watch would have recked me...I'm so so sorry Darcy." He got closer to me cupping my face in his hands.

"It's ok." I nodded looking anywhere but his eyes. I had to remember what his mother had said.

"My mother told you didn't she..."

I just nodded my head.

"Yeah she can't keep her mouth shut for long."

He pushed away from the car and opened it for me helping me in.

He ran to get in and started the car up pulling out of the aria.

"I'm happy she told me...I don't know much about you Mason and I feel like this helped me see you in a different light." He sighed and put his hand in mine.

"What do you want to know?"

"Favorite color?"

He laughed "that's what you start with!"

"Answer the question."

"Blue."

"Favorite movie?"

"Saving privet Ryan"

"Favorite song."

"Don't have one I like a lot of different songs"

"I see."

"Is that all?"

"Nope more to come."  He laughed kissing the top of my hand as he went on
