Alex's Pov
"This is the most magnificent date ever, I must say," Mason said. Mason and I were walking down Waverly Place holding hands. We had just come back from throwing bread crumbs at the pigeons at the park. The skies hadn't looked promising when we left.
"Yeah, it was. I especially liked the part where the old lady was chasing us with her cane." We both laughed.
"And then she-"More laughter. "I must say Alex that was a really good date, but we are missing something."
"Oh, what?" What did I forget?I had made this date perfect. What could I possibly have forgotten? He's going to hate you now that you have messed up your date. I mean I tried my hardest to make everything perfect. I tried to hide how much I cared about our date being perfect, but those feelings were hard to hide from Mason. His dazzling eyes could see right through my act. He was the only one who knew I really cared about things like our dates, graduating, and magic.
"I forgot to kiss you," Mason said smiling.
"You scared me! I don't want to kiss you anymore." I playfully ran away down Waverly Place, and Mason ran after me. Between our little chase it started raining. The rain started running down my face. Soon my hair became soaked. I risked a look back and there was Mason right behind me. He reached out and caught my waist. We were both laughing. Him laughing his cute British accent. He turned me around and held me close. We were by the magazine standing by the magazine stand outside of the subway shop. We became serious for a moment.
"I love you," Mason whispered. And we kissed. Gently we both pulled.
"This is like the first time we kissed." He smiled.
"You mean when you put a spell on me."
"But the spell had broken by then….right?"
"I know that spell was over. But I'm talking about the one I am in right now. The one where I am totally in love with you." Awwwweee. He is so sweet. He's lying. He's just being nice. Go ahead. Try and tell him you love him.
"Uhh….yeah. I like that spell…." I was dumb struck. Why couldn't I tell him that I love him back? Because you don't… What was that voice? Mason looked troubled.
"Is everything alright Alex? Do you want me to take you inside?" Mason was still holding onto me. "Alex?" I gently pulled away. "What's wrong? Did I do something?" So many questions. Try and answer them Alex. You can't can you?
"I have to go." I ran into the substation. What's wrong with me? Running away from him now? Good, he's mine. What was that voice inside my head. The substation was empty, except for Mom who was at the cash register.
"Alex, honey, what's wrong?" I burst into tears and Mom embraced me in a hug. Tears streamed down my cheeks. "It will be okay…
Mason's Pov
I just stood there confused. Had I embarrassed her? We have kissed a million times in public. Although this is the first time I had said I love you. Alex and I had decided early on in our relationship that we would tell each other I love you when we were truly in love. Alex said love was a powerful word. I had told her I love you because I really did truly love her. What did I do wrong? "Hey!"
I turned around. There stood a gruff looking mechanic who looked the same age as me. " Ello. Can I help you with something?"
"Yeah. Stay away from my girl." His girl?
"Oh. Do you mean Alex?"
"Of course Alex. Who else were you kissing?"
"Uh, I think you'r mistaken-"
"Just stay away from her. She's mine." Who did this guy think he was? Alex is my girlfriend. I wanted to go into full werewolf mode, but I stopped myself. Was Alex cheating on me? Was this why she didn't say I love you back? Was this why she ran away?
"Who are you?"
"I'm Dean Moriarty. Alex's boyfriend."
